There's always been a big curiosity for me behind the EOS lip balm spheres. The shape of them is just so unique for a lip balm. I'd been eyeing them for quite some time, but hadn't tried one until recently. My sweet husband knew I'd been wanting to try it, so he bought one for me the last time he was at the drugstore.
The shimmer version comes in 2 shades, sheer pink and pearl. The shade I have to review is sheer pink. These tinted lip balms come housed in the standard EOS sphere shaped container with a generous .25 ounce of product, and they retail for about 5.99.
The lip balm itself applies smooth and creamy with a consistency that's more oily than waxy. The pink color is very sheer as the name implies, and it gives your lips a pale pink sparkle and shine. The scent is a little strange to me, like vanilla and plastic had a baby. Although it's not exactly off putting, it's not exactly the most pleasant either. There is also a slightly sweet flavor whenever the lip balm migrates to your tongue due to the Stevia extract included in the ingredients.
As far as the shape of the lip balm is concerned, its honestly not my favorite. I prefer to be able to toss my lip products in a small space like a pocket or wallet, and the round shape of the container just doesn't cater to this. However, if you enjoy displaying your lip balms on a vanity then this would make a lovely addition in my opinion. I do also enjoy the satisfying click sound the container makes when you twist it open or shut.
Overall I'm happy to be able to add this tinted lip balm to my makeup collection. Although it's not the cleanest lip balm in the market, the more natural formulation that is both paraben and petrolatum free makes my lips smile. My only wish would be that EOS would consider releasing it in one of their standard shaped tubes for travel convenience.
Until next time, enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
