Review: EOS Lip Balms

EOS Lip Balms. If you aren't sick of hearing about them yet you will after this post! EOS Lip Balms are the spherical, out of the box, and chubbiest of all the lip balms in the lip balm world. They come packaged in these adorable orbs and instead of being shaped like a stick, they are shaped like a dome. I love EOS Lip Balms if it wasn't already clear from the nubby pink one and the two back ups, haha! It looks as though they would be extremely inconvenient to use, but just the opposite! Cause of the rounded shape you can easily moisturize your top and bottom lip all in one swipe (although I do like to swipe more than once to get the delicious flavor!) They are also very moisturizing. Not so much that your lips slip and slide, just enough so you know your lips are nice and hydrated!
These lip balms also come in a pretty big variety of flavors so there's one out there for everyone to love! My favorite (by far) has to be the Strawberry Sorbet (the pink one); nicely sweet and fruity, it was perfect for the summer time! The other two are Sweet Mint (in the mint packaging) and Summer Fruit (in the red/orange packaging). I go between these babies and my Maybelline Baby Lips religiously. I've had some scary dry lip spells and these have saved me from crackly and cut up lips!

Also, the cherry on top of this amazing lip balm, is that they are an absolute joy to decorate! Strange right? I made my first ever EOS Lip Balm (from about two years ago) look like an out of this world space ship! I slathered these three with my favorite polishes to give them a 'Jessica' touch. The pink one was painted with a Wet N' Wild clear glitter polish. The mint one was painted with my Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream and lastly, the red/orange one was painted with China Glaze Riveting. If you can make it sparkle, why not? ;)

What do you lovelies think of the EOS Lip Balms? Have you ever thought to decorate them with polish or pens? If not, you should give it a shot! Moisture and sparkle, what more can a mermaid ask for?!

Summer Picks!


Here are my top beauty picks for this Summer!

  1. NARS Laguna Bronzer: I'm new to the world of bronzer and don't see myself always wearing it. But what I find is that I do love wearing this on it's own just as a contour, without blush or highlighter. *gasp Beauty faux pax I know but I feel it looks more natural like that. Bronzer is just perfect for a sun kissed face!
  2. NARS Orgasm Blush: Everyone has their favorite seasonal blush and Orgasm is mine! It's the perfect blend of pink, orange, and shimmer which I think are the top things I look for in a summer blush.
  3. EOS Strawberry Sorbet LipBalm: No matter the season your lips always need to be moisturized and EOS Lip Balms are the best (and funnest) ones to just throw in your bag. They are also made in awesome summer flavors!
  4. Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti: I find that wearing lipsticks in the summer time is just way to hard to keep up with reapplying it. I love the Lip Butters (in any color) to add moisture and color without feeling like you're wearing it at all!
  5. Essie Turquoise & Caicos: If you're a lover of teal or turquoise you will LOVE this color. It's that perfect spring and summer color that's awesome for the day and the beach!
  6. China Glaze Riveting: This polish is the color of the shimmering sun. That is the sole purpose of it being my summer pick. Sun? Summer? Anyone? Haha
  7. Bath & Body Works Fine Mist Fragrance: Okay I'm about to go on a tangent with these Fragrance Mists. They are a wonderful blend of delicious scents and lightness to it that no one is walking passed you choking on it (too much?) There is a scent for everyone and the summer scents are impeccable! They also come with mini's that are perfect for travel!
I'd love to know, what are some of your must haves for the summer?
