EOS Lip Balm: a Ball of Butter

Hello dear online friends! 

First things first, I have a quick confession to make:

You might have noticed that in my pictures, I am usually not super dolled-up. I wear T-shirts, my hair is uncurled, and outfit shots are nowhere to be seen! That's because up until recently, I have mainly written this blog to keep in touch with my sister, so I haven't felt the need to dress up or share OOTD pics. But that's going to change now! I'm getting off my lazy butt to shine up like a new penny! Fighting!  

(P.S. This post doesn't count though, because today I'm wearing a manly t-shirt and beanie...>.< ) 

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, guess what I bought the other day!

It's the EOS Lip Balm in the Summer Fruit flavor! I've been seeing these little egg-shaped balls floating around Youtube for quite awhile, and since I lost my Burt's Bees I decided to finally give them a try:

Packaging/Scent: It comes in a hard silicone-ish container with a dimple on the side where it clicks shut. The summer fruit flavor smells very nice, and whaddya know, it tastes just as nice too! 

Moisturizing Ability: As a chapstick though, I found it quite disappointing. To me, it feels like a sticky film of dried-up popcorn butter that just sits on top your chapped lips, without actually moisturizing them....Aish, not quite my thing. 

[Update: It seems that only the first few outer layers are sticky and hard to apply, because once you get through that, the balm underneath is quite moisturizing! T'was probably just for packaging reasons. My lips have become very soft, so I take back what I said~]

Ingenious Shape: I will say though, I do LOVE the shape of this chapstick. All the extra surface area makes it much much easier to apply!


I’m usually very sloppy in applying my chapstick; I just slather it on as fast as possible. You can imagine that that's a bit tricky to do that with a skinny little tube stick, but get this: with the EOS, all I have to do is pucker my lips, spin the chapstick around, and voila! Full coverage with the flick of a wrist!  

 

Hmm, I'm not sure why my camera is so blurry these days!

Okay, now one last thing. Tell me.....is it me or....

 It does doesn't it?!? I wonder if EOS noticed... They probably thought their design was oh-so-cute; who knew it would end up looking like every girl’s nightmare!


Thanks for reading! And do share, what do you use to keep your lips juicy?
