Review: EOS Lip Balms

Hey everyone! Today I just feel like posting a lot so I am going to try to post at least five posts today. LOL Wish me luck! In this post, I am going to be talking about the EOS Lip Balms. EOS basically means "Evolution of Smooth", which I never knew until I started doing this review and was looking at the actual packaging that the EOS came in. LOL If you don't know what an EOS lip balms is, its just basically a lip balm but what makes it unique from other lip balms is its packaging (as you can see in the pictures). The lip balm in the pictures is the EOS lip balm in Strawberry Sorbet.

WHAT:
EOS lip balms are 100% all natural lip balms that are 95% organic. Plus its USDA organic, which is really nice too! They are also paraben free, phthalete free and petrolatum free. They have shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to help keep the lips moisturized and soft. Also its also gluten free for those people who can't have any gluten!! And the best part is that its not tested on animals!!

PACKAGING:
Instead of your typical lip balm packaging in a twist up tube, EOS lip balms' packaging is sort of egg-shaped. Its sort of like sphere shaped. The packaging is really different and more noticable than the usual packaging. Plus whats also cute about these EOS lip balms is that each flavor has their own different color packaging. Plus their packaging also has somewhat a rubbery feel to them. For instance, the packaging of the Honeysuckle Honeydew is sort of a mint green, Summer Fruit is a corally red, while Strawberry Sorbet is a light pink. Now supposedly, the sphere shape is supposed to make it easier to glide onto your lips but I don't really see a difference from my other lip balms.

FLAVORS:
There are at least six flavors as of right now:

     ❀ Strawberry Sorbet
     ❀ Summer Fruit
     ❀ Honeysuckle Honeydew
     ❀ Sweet Mint
     ❀ Medicated Tangerine
     ❀ Lemon Drop SPF15

The ones that I have so far are Strawberry Sorbet, Honeysuckle Honeydew, and Summer Fruit. My favorite out of the ones that I have and tried is Strawberry Sorbet. It smells really good and plus its pink!! I have been wanting to find the other flavors, like Lemon Drop, Medicated Tangerine and Sweet Mint but I could never find them.

PRICE:
EOS lip balms usually retail for around $3USD-$4USD each plus tax. Sometimes they do go on sale, depending on the store. A few months ago, Ulta had these on sale for $2USD/5 and a few weeks ago at Walgreens, these were on sale for $2.99USD with $2RR back, so it was sort of like paying $0.99USD for one.

WHERE:
You can buy EOS lip balms at Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, RiteAid, Albertsons, WalMart and Target. You can also buy EOS Lip Balms online from the EOS website as well. To buy from the EOS website, you can click here: EOS Official Online Store Stores may vary though. Out of all those stores in my area, the only ones that I was able to find EOS lip balms were Walgreens, WalMart, CVS and Ulta. I think it just depends on your store and whether they keep any in stock. If find out what stores in your area carry EOS lip balms, you can click here to find out: EOS Locator

All-in-all these EOS lip balms are alright. I would say that they don't really live up to all the hype about them. Before I tried this, I would hear so many great reviews about EOS lip balms and how much better they are than your typical lip balms. These lip balms are cute because of their unique shape. Its fun to take these out and use these in public because its so different and have people wondering what it is that you are using. LOL

To me, I would buy these again just because of its cute shape but I would prefer my regular chapstick over this in terms of keeping my lips moisturized. Don't get me wrong, EOS lip balms do keep my lips moistured when I apply these to my lips, but the moisture wears off pretty quickly. With these, I feel like I would have to reapply every few 30 minutes to a hour. Plus another downside is that once after you use this lip balm after a couple of times, the shape of the actual lip balm tends to get flatter and no longer stays round. I would repurchase these but not for full retail price. I just don't think that they are worth more than $2USD each. I would rather just wait until these go on sale and just use my regular lip balms and chapstick for the mean time.

So what do you think about EOS lip balms? Have you ever tried them before? Would you consider these your favorite lip balm? Do you like their unique packaging? Do you think that they actually live up to all the hype surrounding them? Do they keep your lips moisturized?

Walgreens Haul (1.2.12)

Hey everyone! Today I just went to Target and Walgreens. I didn't get anything beauty related at Target, just a couple of clothes (for my mom, younger brother, and myself) and pair of wedges/heels. I did buy a couple of item at my local Walgreens. I hate going there so much but I had to suck it up because right now Walgreens is having a great deal on EOS Lip Balms. At Walgreens, EOS Lips Balms are regularly priced at $3.99USD but right now, they are $2.99USD and you get back $2 Register Rewards (RR). RR are somewhat like CVS ECBs but in my mind, more of a hassle. LOL Since you get $2RR back, its sort of liking paying $0.99USD plus tax for an EOS Lip Balm!! Its limit one so if you plan on buying more than one EOS, I would recommend doing more than one transaction.

What I bought at Walgreens:
❀John Frieda Full Repair Touch-Up FlyAway Tamer (x2)
This was on clearance for $2.59USD and I had (2) $2 off any John Frieda Full Repair products so I only paid $0.59USD plus tax each for these two products. I never tried these before but I am always bother by my flyaways so I thought I might just give it a try. Its an interesting concept. Plus I love how convenient and travel-size friendly it is. Great to just put in my purse and use throughout the day whenever I spot a flyaway.

❀Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo
This was also on clearance for $1.29USD and I had one $1USD off coupon for any Aussie product so basically I paid $0.29USD plus tax. In addition, I got $1 back in Register Rewards so it was a money maker for me. YAY! I never tried Aussie shampoos before but I do love their 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner so I figured I could give this a try.

❀EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle, Summer Fruit, and Strawberry Sorbet
These were on sale for $2.99USD each and you get $2USD back in Register Rewards. So its kind of like paying $0.99USD plus tax for each EOS Lip Balm. These are $3.99USD regularly priced so its a great time to get some to try out or to stock up! Its a limit one so I would suggest doing more than one transaction if you plan on getting more than one EOS Lip Balm, if you want to get your Register Rewards (otherwise you would just be paying $2.99USD plus tax for one). I did three separate transactions. LOL If you want to try out EOS and/or want more, then I definitely suggest for you to go to your Walgreens right now before the sale is over or before all the EOS Lip Balms are gone.

I hope you all liked my Walgreens haul. If you have any questions about the products that I bought and/or would like to see a review on a certain product, please let me know! Have you ever tried any of these products before like the John Frieda and/or Aussie shampoo? Let me know what you think about those products!

My ULTA Haul: FREE PINK BATH ROBE

Hey everyone! I had a ULTA 20% off coupon that was expiring on the 24th of December so I decided to go and buy some before it expired. Also I love shopping at Ulta because they have way more stuff than Sephora and they also have way better promotions and freebies! Plus I heard that Ulta had EOS Lip Balms on sale so I knew that I definitely had to go and pick some up. I had never tried EOS products before and I didn't want to be pay regular price for it so I have been waiting for them to go on sale. They were buy 2 for $5USD, which I thought was an alright deal. I wanted to try them out so bad that I was okay with saving a little. LOL Plus on the back of the Ulta catalog, there was a coupon for a free Ulta product, so yay! I love Ulta blushes and this was the perfect time to pick up a couple since they were also BOGO FREE!

What I bought:
EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet 2/$5
EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit 2/$5
I have been wanting to try some EOS lip balms ever since I have been hearing about them on YouTube and Luuux. I am so glad that I finally have them! I can't wait to try them out. Hopefully they live up to their hype.

Ulta Cheek Color in Heartbreaker $7
Ulta Cheek Color in Exposed FREE, SAVED $7
Ulta was having a BOGO FREE promotion on their selected products. I really like their blushes so I thought it was a great time to pick up some more. I already have one in Heartbreaker but wanted to pick up a backup because I love it so much. It gives me a great flush of color on my skin tone. Red shades don't really look that good on me because my skin is so light so Heartbreaker is close to a red shade but its flattering on me.

Ulta Eye Crayon in Birthday Girl $8
Ulta Lip Crayon in Late Night FREE, SAVED $8
I never tried either of these products so I just picked them out just because I was curious. LOL Hopefully they turn out okay!

Ulta Eye Shadow #2 Brush FREE, SAVED $10
This brush I got for free because I had a coupon. I am not sure how I feel about this brush but free is free. I will figure out an use for it.

3-Piece Pedicure Set (x2) $1
I bought one initally to give to a friend as their stocking stuffer for Christmas but saw how cute it was because it was pink and purple that I had to get one for myself as well. It was only an dollar each so it didn't hurt. LOL

Juicy Couture Perfume Set (Couture Couture, Juicy Couture, and Viva La Juicy) $35
These are travel size perfume sprays. They are 0.33 fl. oz. each or 10ml each. I love how these are actually sprays and not rollerballs. I never had Juicy Couture perfumes before but I have smelled Viva La Juicy once and remembered loving it. Plus I got a FREE pink bath robe with any $30 perfume purchase! I can't wait to wear it. I have been wanting a pink bath robe for a while now. Right now, I have a yellow one but its getting old and isn't as pretty as a pink one. LOL

I hope all of you like my haul. Did any of you guys go to Ulta when they were having all these promotions or used your 20% off coupon? Have you tried any of the products that I bought? What do you think about them?
