So, I came back off holiday a couple of weeks ago, and probably my most used lip product while there was the EOS balm in Lemon Drop with SPF 15. If you've read my Holiday Lip Products post, you might notice that it didn't feature on there, which is actually because it was a last minute purchase when I was in Urban Outfitters the day before we went on holiday. I'd never tried an eos beofore as when there was all that hype around them, they were really hard to get hold of and I didn't fancy paying something ridiculous like £8 on amazon when they were $2-$3 in America. So basically, being the first time I saw them in a shop and at £5/ea I decided I just needed to pick one up- SPF it was, a lip balm I could wear throughout the summer.
I've read several reviews where people complain about them dragging on the lips, and I don't know if it varies per batch or what; but mine was absolutely fine. What I really liked about this lip balm was the fact that it didn't feel too slippery or shiny on the lips. You could hardly tell that I was wearing any and yet it felt really nourishing, and, well just overall... nice. Plus, the fact that eos balms boast 100% natural and 95% organic ingredients certainly helped. I know that natural products aren't necessarily best, but it did feel good not having to worry about how much petroleum or parabens I was slathering on my lips! However, despite the fact that I love the cute, quirky shape I did find it slightly difficult to fit into my small shoulder bag I took round with me most days.
Long story short: Would I recommend them? Yes. Would I buy more? Yes. I'd love to try the blueberry or the honeysuckle, as despite my liking the summery lemon scent, I think I'd prefer something less citrus-y for the coming colder months. What's your view of EOS lip balms? What are your favourite scents?
