Review: eos Breast Cancer Awareness Pack

eos Breast Cancer Awareness Duo Pack













So I know that October was actually Breast Cancer Awareness Month and that was when lots of beauty brands came out with special collections and packs and donated the proceeds to breast cancer research.
But-this pack must be still available some places, because I actually got this as a Christmas present! So I thought I would go ahead and review it anyway, just in case it is still available for some people.

So this pack comes with a lip balm (which makes #10 in my collection!) and a lotion, which I have never actually tried before!

1. Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm

eos Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm

This is a lip balm I actually already own and love it, but I was running out! So I'm very pleased to have a back up! 

I think I've already reviewed this one on my blog, but for the sake of the pack, I'll just tell you what I think quickly again.

eos Lip Balms are already my favourite lip balms, and this one is no exception. It smells just like strawberry, but not the plasticky scent of some lip balms. It is thick and moisturizing and makes a good base for lipsticks, since it doesn't actually have any colour of it's own. 

2. Berry Blossom Hand Lotion

Berry Blossom Lotion

For starters, I really like the packaging of this. It's cute, but it's also practical; it's slim enough to fit into a purse or something. This was a little bit full when I got it, so the first time I squeezed some out, it just came out all by itself. 

As for the lotion itself, it's definitely moisturizing. It can feel a little bit greasy on the skin when you first apply it, but it sinks in after awhile and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. 

The scent is very strong, though. It doesn't smell completely of berries; there is definitely some floral notes mixed in. After putting it on your hands, you will smelling the scent for a long time after. It's not unpleasant, just very strong!

So there's my review on this value pack! Both the lotion and the lip balm can be bought by themselves, so don't worry if you missed this pack. 

Thanks for reading!!

Review: eos Alice in Wonderland Pack

(From L-R): Sweet Vanilla Nonsense, Blueberry Potion, Watermelon Wonderland

Now I know that these have been out for quite awhile now, but I only just got my hands on them, so I thought I'd post a quick review.

I LOVE eos lip balms. I use them religiously-and exclusively. They are moisturizing, don't feel too runny or thick, and of course, the packaging is super cute-and they smell amazing. 

That being said, I'm doing this review 100% unbiased.

Now onto the review!!

1) Watermelon Wonderland:

eos Watermelon Wonderland

I'm going to begin with my favourite of the bunch. I love eating watermelon (the fruit, not the lip balm), so naturally I assumed I was going to love this one. And I was right. It smells exactly like watermelon. This one I find to be the thickest of the three, and the most moisturizing.

These lip balms are all clear, so there is no colour pay off on any of them. And that's ok, because I have other lip products to do that!

Rating: 9/10

It could maybe be a tad bit more moisturizing.

2. Sweet Vanilla Nonsense:

Sweet Vanilla Nonsense

This is my second favourite of the trio. I love all things vanilla (candles, ice cream, shower gel, perfume, etc.), so naturally I knew I would love this one. But I actually didn't like it as much as I thought I would. 

It's definitely makes my lips super soft, but the vanilla scent is a little off. It smells sort of...plasticky (definitely not a word) and fake. It's not unpleasant, but not very natural.

Rating: 8/10

Like I said, the scent could be better, and it could have a little more moisture.

3. Blueberry Potion:

Blueberry Potion

Now this is my least favourite of the three. I find it to be the least moisturizing, and I am not a big fan of the scent. The scent isn't bad, but it's not very obvious. I expected to smell fresh blueberries, but to be honest, I don't really smell much! Maybe I got a bad one?

Rating: 7.5/10

And I have included a couple pictures of the packaging it came in, which is super cute. Alice in Wonderland (the original, not the Tim Burton) is one of my favourite Disney movies. 

Overall:

Like I said earlier, I adore eos lip balms. They are some of the most moisturizing lip balms I've ever found.

But as for these specific ones, I really like them too! My favourites are Watermelon Wonderland and Sweet Vanilla Nonsense. I could have done without Blueberry Potion, but it does make a nice addition to my collection. I think I own 9 now? Yep, nine. Believe me, I totally needed every one! (A very apparent attempt to justify having 9 lip balms of the exact same color...what can I say? They smell really good!)

Obviously, if you like having colour on your lips, I would look elsewhere, as these are clear...but they make a great base for other lip products!

One thing I forgot to mention- the Mickey Mouse design on the outside of each separate is adorable! Well, they are from Disney.

Anyway, thanks for reading!! Have a great weekend!

eos Lip Balm Review

From L-R: Sweet Mint, Passionfruit, Strawberry Sorbet

Today's review is of some of my favourite lip balms. They are the eos (Evolution of Smooth) Lip Balms. I own six of these lip balms, but I only have three to show you- Sweet Mint, Passionfruit and Strawberry Sorbet.

eos Lip Balm in Sweet Mint

Sweet Mint is my definite favourite of the three. I keep it in my purse for when I'm out and about, but I often find myself reaching for it when I'm at home.

eos Lip Balm in Sweet Mint

All the eos Lip Balms make very good bases for any other lip products because of their thick texture. They aren't watery and runny; you can feel them being absorbed into your lips and making them moisturized.

For some reason, Sweet Mint seems to be the thickest to me, and makes my lips the most moisturized. It also has a great mint scent (hence the name).

So I'll give this a rating of 10/10!!!!

eos Lip Balm in Passionfruit

Passionfruit is probably my least favourite of the three. It's definitely not a bad product by far, but compared to the other two; I like the other two better.

eos Lip Balm in Passionfruit

The scent is very nice on this one; almost tropical smelling (sorry, I'm bad at describing scents). It does moisturize very well, but I don't feel like it absorbs as well into the lips and gets rid of the dryness. 

I'll give it a 8/10 :)

eos Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet

My second favourite of the bunch. It has almost the same thick texture as the Sweet Mint, and glides on effortlessly, but not runny.

eos Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet

It is really moisturizing and feels good on the lips. The scent is really nice; it smells like strawberry cake! 

I'll give it a 9/10!

Overall:

I really like these lip balms. The dome shape makes it easy to apply to both your top and bottom lip at once, and they make your lips very soft.

Overall Rating: A satisfied 9/10 :)

I found these in a three pack at my local drugstore for $9.95 CAD, but these usually retail individually for $3-$5 CAD, depending on where you find them.

Thanks for reading!!!
