eos lip balm


These have been around for a couple of years now I think, but I had never tried it.  I always wanted to see what was so cool about these.  I decided to finally give it a try.  It's called eos, and it's lip balm.  Not just any old lip balm, it's lip balm in a "wierd shape".  Haha.
 It is nice to see someone trying something really different than the usual stick of lip balm.  It's a little sphere rubbery container, but it sits flat because it's flat on the bottom.  It can easily roll off the table if you leave it sitting there-if say you have a cat who likes to jump up on tables so she can push things off of them...easy to find in a purse or bag because of the shape as well.
 Just twist and the top comes off to reveal a round thing of lip balm.  Even though it's pretty big it applies really easily though.
 I really liked the scent I picked out.  I think it might be my favorite thing about it.  I got "summer fruit".  It smells great and taste great actually too!  My kitty likes how it smells too. :)  It think since the ingredients include these fruit extracts it's a mixture of these scents: blueberry, strawberry and peach.
 I also really love that it's 100% natural and 95% organic.  It also happens to be paraben and petrolatum free, gluten free and isn't tested on animals.  All good stuff!  It has vitamin E, shea butter, jojoba oil to soften your lips.  I don't think it doesn't anything spectacular in the moisturising department but it works good enough. 
I would try another flavor.  I thought it was pretty good! Hope your summer is off to a great start! XO, Heather Honey

Least Favorite Lip Balms

This is just a quick post.  I didn't want to include these in my top 5 post because it already had enough pics I thought.  I do not recommend getting these two lip balms.  They are not good in my opinion. 

 Aww, how cute.  A Yankee candle lip balm, smells delish.  SPF 15.  How adorable...NOPE!! Don't be fooled by the super cute packaging.  It is a greasy oily feel on your lips and it doesn't soften them.  I would almost go so far to say they are more chapped.  Maybe not, but it sure doesn't help them! ;) 

 Next up Softlips Sheer Color.  It is suppose to adjust to your natural lip color.  My sister and I both got one.  Neither of us have neon dark pink lips, nor does it look flattering on either of us.  Cool idea, but it's a total FAIL.
 Hope that saves someone the trouble.  What is your favorite lip balms?? I hope you are all having a great week.  We are suppose to get more snow here, I hope spring is on it's way though.  Thanks for reading XOXO, Heather Honey

Top 5 Favorite Lip Balms

Hello! I'm back. Haha. I have just gotten over the worse stomach bug I've ever had in my life.  It literally lasted 4 days.  I am starting to feel better and I'll spare you the details but it was AWFUL.  Then I gave it to my poor husband. :(  I got it from a student who came to school sick.  No fun!! Anyway I decided to do a top 5 for you.  I have been using lip balm like crazy lately.  The end of winter is hopefully coming soon! Below is a picture in order of my all time favorite lip balms:
1. Carmex: Fresh Mint 2. Burt's Bees: Beeswax Lip Balm 3. Bonne Bell Lip Smacker: Dr. Pepper 4. Retreat Aromatherapy Lip Balm: Sensuality 5. Crabtree & Evelyn Aromathology: Romance
 With 100% natural mint oil and SPF 15 this stuff is just awesome.  I've tried the strawberry and original flavor but mint is my favorite.
Good old reliable Burt's Bees!  I've been using this stuff since high school.  It is 100% natural and has vitamin E and peppermint.  I love this stuff because it leaves your lips all tingly and you can just feel it working.


 I've also been using this since high school!! My Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers.  I loved these in high school and Dr. Pepper is still one of my favorites. I love the flavor of this chapstick and it leaves your lips a really nice shiny red color.
This lip balm is scented "sensuality" and it smells amazing.  It is patchouli and ylang ylang scented and has sunflower oil and bees wax.  It melted one day in my back pack and now I don't have to put my finger into it spreading germs to apply it-I can roll it right on my lips.

This is Crabtree & Evelyn Aromathology Lip Balm in Romance.  This is also something I've had since high school.  I've had this one a long time!!  It still smells amazing.  It is a clear gel that is
"flavored with vanilla and essential oils of tangerine and cardamon, to sweeten your breath and soften your lips."


Hope you enjoyed this post!! Thanks for reading!! xo, Heather Honey
