EOS Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm // REVIEW


Hey guys! Today I am here with another review, this time for the EOS Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm, as you may already be able to tell from the title of this post. I'd wanted to try an EOS lip balm for so long, but since only a shop or two sold them (EOS/Evolution Of Smooth is an American brand), they were quite expensive, so I had pretty much lost all hope in trying one in the near future. I then won Ria's LoveLula Beauty Box giveaway back in February, and was very happy as the EOS Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm was included in the box! 

One of the most noticeable and memorable things about EOS lip balms are their shape! They are very round, which makes application of them very easy as you don't have to mess about scooping lip balm out of a jar, and getting it stuck under your nails (I'm looking at you Nuxe Reve De Miel). Instead you simply glide it on and you're good to go! They are also 95% organic and 100% natural, making them great for anybody with sensitive skin and those of you who like to stick to natural products! 

This is a completely clear lip balm, so it won't affect the colours of anything you apply on top of it! It would be good if EOS were to do a tinted balm version as I really like those, especially during colder seasons, but I sadly they don't yet. When you first apply it feels really solid and not great, however it then begins to melt on your lips and you can feel it instantly moisturising! It has an extremely light formula, as quite often I feel like I need to apply it a few times, because you don't feel any weight on your lips at all. This makes it perfect for putting under lipsticks to add an extra layer of moisture, which is when I like to use it as I tend to get dry lips! 

Strawberry Sorbet smells a little like sweet, slightly artificial, strawberries, which honestly wouldn't be my first choice (I love the sound of the Sweet Mint scent) but it isn't overpowering so I can easily stand it! The taste is really nice though - it's quite sweet and it stays on my lips for hours without any need for reapplication. There have been many times where I have applied this just before bed, and woken up with the taste still on my lips, which shows just how well the lip balm lasts! 

I'd highly recommend trying an EOS lip balm out. as they are a great staple product to keep around the house, or in your bag! There are lots of other flavours too, so there should be one for everybody.

Have you ever tried an EOS lip balm?

  2. This sounds really lovely but I agree with you, so expensive for those of us living in the UK! It would be great if they bought out a tinted version too, as I'd definitely look into those.

  4. I saw that this was one of Nicole Sherz' favourite products, so I have been interested beforehand, but the price has put me off!

    I never used to wear lip balms, but now I keep two on my bedside table and my lips are thanking me. I may have to splash out and add this to my little collection.

  6. I picked up the minty one from the big Topshop in London's beauty hall and it's GORGEOUS. The scent is divine and it gives your lips the slightest tingly sensation, I'm going to pick up a handful the next time I'm in London for sure! x

  9. I have wanted to try one of these for so long but always winched at the price of it as it's 'just a lip balm' I think I need to man up and just buy one after this review! xx
