I got this lip balm in a bulk buy brand new and i was really excited to try it out.
i liked the coconut smell and the feel of the product on my lips but i sometimes feel like i had to rub the product on my lips really hard to get anything on them and although the shape was cute in the beginning, it has since kinda started annoying me because (1) it isnt the easiest to apply given the shape and (2) it isnt the easiest to hold being so bulky and all - i can also not put it as comfortably in my pocket when heading off in a rush and only grabbing the bare essentials like my phone, wallet and some lippy.
I'll continue to use mine at home but i dont think it is a very travel friendly product.
The first time I saw these EOS lip balms was on a Michelle Phan video. My sister was visiting US at the time so I asked her to get me a couple of them to try out as they are fairly cheap over there.
The flavours are great and I love the smooth, egg-shaped balm. What I love most is that the shape of the balm seems to help glide the balm over my lips without over applying (which I seem to always do with the traditional stick lip balms).
I have since continue buying these lip balms from US as I often have family visiting US. My favourite flavour is definitely Honeysuckle Honeydew. I like Lemon Drop in summer because of the SPF, and Medicated Tangerine can be quite soothing for dry/chapped lips.
However, these lip balms are more for everyday use rather than a treatment for very chapped lips. They do moisturise your lips but I think because the formula is more buttery than waxy, they don't work as well on very chapped lips. That's why I usually switch to Carmex during winter.
Tips: Keep these out of the sun as they would melt from the heat.
