Today I want to review a very well-known product: Evolution of Smooth (EOS) Smooth Sphere Lip Balms. I've been using a few brands including Chapstick, Burt's Bees, Carmex, Green by Nature, Nivea and I hadn't been satisfied by any of them. There was one time that I tried to make my own lip balm. I like my hand-made lip balm but maybe because I used only 2 ingredients: Shea butter and olive oil, I felt it was still lacking something. Then I noticed the little egg coming with many colors everywhere in Walmart and Target; I looked up the reviews and decided to give it a try.
The first picture is what I bought and the second one is what available on their official website http://evolutionofsmooth.com. The website shows only 8 colors (8 flavors) but I think I saw somewhere another one called Watermelon, and the pack I got has Vanilla so the total should be 10. I wonder if Watermelon is only available in some other countries.

My thoughts:
My first impression is that the package is so cute! Putting these colorful eggs in a basket reminds me of Easter. The package creates a comfortable touch and helps it easier to reach among countless things in your purse.
It smells yummy! I am not a fan of vanilla; I hate candles, cosmetics, shower gel, fragrances ... with vanilla scent! However, I was so surprised that I actually like the sphere in Vanilla. I don't taste anything though, just the smell. The Sweet Mint has a minty feeling when applied.
These lip balms are really moisturizing. They don't have the oily feeling of Carmex nor the waxy feeling of Burt's Bees; more importantly, they don't dry out my lips! They last longer than other lip balms as well. I just love the feeling of using them so I opened all three flavors in the pack and put them here and there around my house. I am so tempted to buy all the flavors!
The only con I can think of is Lemon Drop is the only one that has sunscreen. So if you're a lip balm person and must carry lip balms with you when going out, you might be limited to that particular flavor. I don't mind it because I don't bring lip balms when I go out anyway; I tend to use moisturizing lipsticks and tinted lip balms more. The EOS lip balm is perfect for me to use at home, keeps my lips in a good condition and is a base when I use lipsticks.
