EOS Lip Balm Review

Today i am going to review the eos (evolution of smooth) lip balm in sweet mint. They have different colors and flavors but i chose this one because i love mint. Ive previously purchased the green one called honeysuckle honeydew but i can't show it because i lost it (actually my son "misplaced it" lol). So obviously what caught my attention was the sphere shape and at first it felt weird applying it but you get used to it. I have seen some people  apply it on both lips at the same time but i can't do that. It does have a flat bottom so it can stand alone.

What the site (eos) says:

•  Long-lasting moisture
•  Shea butter & vitamin E
•  Smoothes on clear
•  New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips
•  Twist-off top
•  Gluten-free
•  Paraben-free
•  Petrolatum-free
•  Phthalate-free



"eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth."

When you apply this lip balm it does apply really smooth and because it is mint it does give you that minty/tingling feeling on your lips which i like but i know a lot of people dislike it, but not all the lip balms have it just this one. The smell is kinda minty and it has no particular taste (a lip balm taste i guess lol) .Some cons is that it doesn't provide long lasting moisture, its one of those lip balms that you have to constantly re-apply throughout the day which a lot of people do anyways, and it doesn't contain SPF which is very important during spring/summer, apparently only the lemon drop has the SPF. Another con some people might have is the actual shape because it is kinda bulky so it might be uncomfortable in your pocket but for me it's not a problem since i carry everything in my purse. To me its a regular lip balm, theres nothing special to it and its not great but its not expensive either(got mine for $3) so you can still try it. what i mainly liked is the shape because its unique but the product itself doesn't do wonders. I'm 50/50 on it

Where to buy: Walgreens, Walmart, Rite aid, CVS, and Target.

P.S- I'm sorry i do long reviews but i always want to make sure i cover everything and give u all the info and my honest opinion.
