EOS Lip Balm-Moisture For Your Lips!

 Nothing too exciting but wanted to share my newfound love of EOS lip balms. I love these little cuties! I have been using them for a few weeks now and had no intention of writing about them but then I read some not great reviews and thought I would write my own. 

I like them, I like the way they feel, I like the shape-it's unusual for a lip balm. It is not glossy, kind of the same texture as Chapstick. EOS stands for Evolution of Smooth. These little round buggers are the one's that everyone knows about but they have them in stick form as well. They also have other products such as hand and body lotion. I tried the Honeydew (green) and the Strawberry Sorbet (pink). As far as flavor goes, Honeydew wins hands down. Honeybuns thinks they taste synthetic. 

The moisturizing effect last a pretty long time. I have had super dry lips this winter due to my central air trying to escape the obscene chill that has been calling the North East home. If I apply EOS before bed, I can still feel it slippery on my lips when I roll over in the wee morning hours. They also last through my sweaty gym classes. 

According to the website

We've already discussed organic and natural so take that with a grain of salt (I don't even know what that means), however they are made without a bunch of crap in them (parabans, phthalates, etc) so that's always a plus in my book. They cost around $3.00 each.

Spoiler Alert-October Birchbox

Oh hiiii!!

My favorite time of the month is here! 

It's Birchbox time!

 

So in this month's box, I received a liquid pearl illuminator from Benefit, shampoo and conditioner from Bain de Terre, a face mask from Karuna and a new product from Chapstick.

Ok first, Girl Meets Pearl by Benefit in Golden Pink. I freakin LOVE this product! I have only been using this a few days but I am already madly in love with this. This is a gorgeous highlighter that creates the perfect glow, plus we all know that I think pink and gold are a marriage made in makeup heaven.

Next, Bain de Terre Macadamia Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. I have not yet tried these but I am looking forward to it. I have used Bain de Terre products before and have liked them a lot so I have high hopes for these. I do have to travel in about a month so I may wait and take these with me to use. I will let you know how in my update post if I waited and if I loved them. 

Next up, a Clarifying Treatment Mask from Karuna. 

According to the package:

Shiso, a Japanese Green Leaf, plus Ginger work to keep your skin clear and healthy, while Honey soothes and provides oil-free hydration. 

All Karuna masks contain a custom-blended beauty boost. Plant extracts, peptides, and anti-oxidants bring care and compassion to all skin types with a feeling of hydration, nourishment and renewal. 

I will be using this tomorrow night. Honey has made my skin break out in the past so I am a little nervous, however this contains Salicylic Acid so hopefully it will counteract any clogging. This has lots of good stuff in it but then the very last ingredient is fragrance. Ugh. Boooooo. 

Lastly, a new product from Chapstick.

According to the packaging:

ChapStick Hydrarion Lock provides advanced moisturization to revitalize and visibly improve the appearance of your lips. It provides 8 hour moisture, contains antioxidant CoQ10, contains hyaluronic filling spheres, gives lips a fuller and smoother appearance, has a light, silky texture for instant smoothness and enhanced lip feel.

This product does contain petroleum and parabans so it may be a pass for me. 

I give this box a solid 7 (I subtracted a point for the chapstick). 

These are all new products for me and I am excited to try all of them (except the ChapStick), 

plus I'm already in love with the Benefit product!

Until next time kitty cats!
