Clearly the winter, and the colder weather in general, is an appropriate time to talk about lip balms, and I have certainly done plenty of that over the years. However, that isn't my intention here. While lips certainly require more care and moisture during this season, I wanted to address the way in which all of the trending liquid lipsticks, matte lipsticks, and intensely pigmented lipstick formulas can compound the problem, and really test the limits of what our lips can endure. You may recall, in my 2012 eos lip balm review (reviewed here) that I asserted,
While I have purchased many eos lip balms since I published my 2012 review, there have been two flavors that I have continued to repurchase: Sweet Mint Lip Balm and Honeysuckle Honeydew. For some reason those two flavors really resonate with me.
I find the eos lip balms very comfortable on the lips, and they quickly heal them when they are dry. I also really like that they are filled with lots of good healthy ingredients, and it is a definite bonus that they are 100% natural, 95% organic and cruelty-free.

Can you believe I have never tried eos lip balm? I just saw the cutest pattern to make a gift box for them out of card stock so maybe I will try it very soon!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised, Allison. I like to use them as lipstick bases because they are nearly matte, and lipstick adheres to the formula quite well! What a cool idea!
DeleteI'm with Allison, I have never tried it. I should grab it next time. It's always displayed in the checkout display rack
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a lip balm, worth trying! It's especially good as a base for lipsticks!
DeleteIt's been at least 2 years since I have used EOS. It was my go-to a few years back after being introduced to the product from the brand. EOS was one of the first PR companies I worked with. But, I stopped and haven't picked up a new one since. I need to check them out again.
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend them as a lipstick base, especially!
DeleteI know I'd love Honeydew. These are such cuties that they are fun to keep in my purse.
ReplyDeleteI think that you would definitely love Honeydew! I agree, they are definitely fun to carry in my purse!
DeleteI always have like 10 of these around the house!
ReplyDeleteAren't they wonderful?!!!!!!
