Products NOT Worth The Hype | eos Lip Ball/Balm

     I am sure you have seen the pictures of eos balms all over social media sites and in the hands of mall go-ers everywhere and I have to say I have not been the most impressed with this product. 

     When I first bought my eos balm, I have to say I was pretty excited! But as I soon realized... the formulation was not as good as the packaging leads it off to be. The way it's packaged is super cute but when you really get to the product it has quite a few downsides. Some of them being:

1. The taste is not the most pleasant thing; no I do not go around eating lip products, but I do get the flavour from mine and it is not that tasty. I love the smell of these things (and I cannot remember what the name of my flavour is) but the taste is not so nice. I guess this is not the most valid point because I have only tried one flavour, but I have a strong feeling that a lot of the flavours are this way.

2. "More is less" ... With this product I find that you have to apply A LOT of product at any given time to feel any kind of results at all... I have many lip balms that take effect after just one layer of application, but with the eos balms, you have to build and builD and buiLD and buILD and bUILD and BUILD... anyways you get the point! 

3.The packaging does in fact have a downside... It gets SO dirty! Yes, the material of it is nice and soft and yes when you first get it it's a nice pretty colour but after being in your make-up bag and on the go it starts to look very dirty.

4. The formulation is sticky, YES, sticky. Once you have applied all the layers that you need it tends to feel very weird on the lips and quite sticky and that is something I would expect and ignore from a lip gloss but not from a lip balm.

     I want to say that all these opinions are my own opinions and I have heard from some people that they do like it, but I think that the eos balms have too much hype around them for what they are really worth. Not going to lie... I do use it on occasion... I am wearing it right now actually... But I do not consider it a huge "+" to my make-up collection and I would for sure not repurchase it. To me it isn't much more than a pretty picture.
