EOS Lip Balm Review


Evolution of Smooth


"Smooth on an all-natural lip balm that delivers the perfect balance of flavor and moisture. "


I seen that everyone seemed to be carrying one of these so finally broke down, bought the Pomegranate Raspberry, which I loved at first.  Loved how it made my lips feel nice & soft. Kept my lips moisturized for a good time frame.  Nothing close to all day, but what lip balm actually does that?  The smell/taste which was great.  Packaging was new/different/fun... 

But unfortunately like a few other reviews that I've seen on these,  I have to agree with the people who stated that they first initially like this/these products but then....   

I was pretty much using these everyday, for my go to lip moisturizer.  Even went and got the Blueberry Acai, for my purse, and the limited edition (fancy) Passion Fruit (lavender coloured container, not shown in picture) one for my work.  

After a few weeks of applying this daily, my lips have gotten a reaction.  Nothing at all major but comes across like I have cold sores on the top and bottom of my lips.  I  never have cold sores..  I stopped using them all for a few days, substituting for a combo use of Blistex lip medex, Vaseline, & Polysporin, which did seem to help heal things up.  

Once cleared up,  I didn't want to give up on EOS, thinking it was a fluke that I gotten a reaction/sores, but sure enough the next day after going back to using them, the sores were back :( 

 If am in a real pinch and need to apply lip balm and there is nothing else to grab, then I will give this a go, but defiantly not going to be using it everyday anymore.  They just sadly might end up in the garbage :(  

So with that said, these may not be for everybody.
Majority of people,  I'm sure will be just fine & enjoy these.
I just lucked out being one of the odd balls, that had a reaction :(
Thank you.
