Hey guys and welcome to my new followers!
So this is going to be a review of the EOS (evolution of smooth) smooth sphere which is a lip balm that claims to be made of 100% natural ingredients and 95% of those are organic. You can find these at http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com or if you live in the states : Walgreens, Rite-aid etc. Unfortunately I live in Canada so I don't have access to those stores. The EOS website charges flat rate shipping of $15 USD to Canada. As you can imagine I found that to be totally outrageous for a $4 USD lip balm, so I turned to Ebay. I was able to find one that cost $8 USD including shipping. The flavor I purchased is called summer fruits.
Summer fruits has been described to smell similar to a whole arrangement of fruits from strawberries to peaches to grapefruit. I guess everyone has their own idea of what it smells like but what I think it smells like is ......... Fuzzy peaches!!
I find that this product works best when it is slightly warm.
The pros:
* natural/organic ingredients
* cute packaging
* great scent
* tastes good
* staying power is good while sleeping
The Cons:
* comes off easily while eating and drinking
* need to swipe across your lips several times to feel a decent amount of product
* runs out fast
Now, I will admit I have probably been using this balm more than most people would. I have been applying only this product to my lips since it has arrived on June 14th. So maybe that is like 10-15 times a day but for the amount that is gone you would think that I have had it for more than 8 days!
I do really like this product but I think it has been very over-rated. The first time I puckered up to apply this bad boy I found myself saying ... out loud... "Don't believe the hype".
If I could find this product in a store where it was maybe only $5 or so I would probably buy it again but having to track it down on ebay, pay for the shipping and wait 2 weeks is a bit much.
Well, I think I am just rambling now, if you have any questions or comments leave them below!!

ReplyDeleteThanks!! I'm glad that someone is benefiting from my rambles!
ReplyDeletei felt the same way when i tried it.. like what's the big deal? buttt, yu hafto try the GREEN one.. i mean, it's still not a WOW product, but it was better than the pink one bc for me, if my lip products rn't mentholated, i don't feel like they're working lol
ReplyDeleteI want to try them all but having to order them online for $8+ is a real downer!
ReplyDeleteI have the green mint one, I just wanted to try it because the packaging is cute, but its not very 'portable' for pockets. And I don't think it's worth $8 especially for you. But for the $4 it's still not that great.
ReplyDeleteThe best lip balms ever are the Burts Bee's lip balm line, you should try those! :D
I have tried those, they are pretty decent I just wanted to hop on the bandwagon of cute packaging goodness! lol I have bought other organic lipbalms intown for $6 so $8 didn't seem that bad.
