The name itself says it all! I've seen various beauty bloggers raving about the said spherical-cased lip balm! I've been wanting one myself but I swore myself not to do much international online shopping because it takes forever an a day before it reaches me!
Thanks to my dearest Shobe Sophie for giving me one to try! And she knows me too well because she gave me the flavor I would choose in a blink of the eye --- MINT!
After a week of using this on a daily basis, I will give my initial review as I have been applying and re-applying this on my lips for "God can't even remember!" :P
Here's how the inside looks!

AMW says ---
Pros- Packaging is the cutest I've seen! Enough said!
- Sealed quite well once new. Expiration date printed on the packaging.
- The packaging can stand on its own which makes it easy to put on top of your work desk or vanity table.
- 95% Organic, makes me confident to apply this on my lips and I wouldn't mind eating this!
- No petroleum or paraben that other lip balms have!
- Not tested on animals!
- Inexpensive, I've checked multiply sellers selling these for less than Php400.00.
- Because of its unique shape, packaging, easy glide-on-lips balm, I find myself addicted to re-applying my lip balm which makes my lips more moisturized!
- I do not need to blot my lip balm before lipstick application as this one isn't waxy so lipsticks do not glide off.
- The minty feel of Sweet Mint lasts for more than 10 minutes!
- With its wider shape, its easy to apply also on the corners of my mouth and outside the lip area which usually dries up easily on me.
- Not super moisturizing as expected.
- Not widely available in local market.
- The lines on my lips did not disappear or at least lessen its appearance.
- I was told that not all the scent are a hit! It really depends on your personal preference.
- Once you lick your lips, you can literally taste a very sweet, sugar-like substance.
The texture of EOS Sweet Mint Lip Balm is almost the same as my favorite Mentholatum Lip Ice in Lemon minus the waxy feel! This is going up the notch as my favorite lip balm because of the fact that its Organic and Paraben-free!
Tips
- Read ingredients list and expiration date before you peel off the wrap! All the writings will be gone!
- Slowly twist the cap to prevent ruining the cute lip balm!
- Apply this on clean and dry lips!
- As much as possible, wipe the top part of the balm with a clean tissue at least once a day.
Yes!
To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone who likes lip balm application.
Where to purchase and how much?
Search local resellers via Multiply. Price between Php300.00-450.00 (approx $7.00-$10.00).
Here's the size of EOS Lip Balm
A bit bulky for a lip balm but
I like how I can easily grab this inside my bag!

How do you like it?
I personally think there are better lip balms out there BUT
because of its smart packaging, gorgeous Sweet Mint scent, I can't stop re-applying!
*re-applies* Seriously, I just did!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
awww had the opportunity to get this at the toycon of all places LOL. i'll give it a try, thanks for the heads up that it's available on multiply ;-)
ReplyDeleteI do not need to blot my lip balm before lipstick application as this one isn't waxy so lipsticks do not glide off.
ReplyDelete- this had me...
With its wider shape, its easy to apply also on the corners of my mouth and outside the lip area which usually dries up easily on me.
- plus this one :)
Was really waiting for your say on this since you got me hooked on my lip ice lemon..
Was about to ask which one's better, but i also did realize this being organic. :)
Very nice review..
I have Summer Fruit and I love it. I will probably get this because of the cute color lol
ReplyDeleteIt looks too cute and the color (of the tube...err, egg) is so pretty! And I do love minty flavors. I'll definitely check this out! :)
ReplyDeletei've been reading a lot of good reviews on this lip balm too and it made me curious. but i don't like it if it is not available locally because i wanna try it first before buying. thanks for the review :)
ReplyDeletei forgot where i saw this but i think a few weeks ago. it looks cute but i imagine it will look weird if someone will see me applying this on my lips lol.
ReplyDeletethe shape is uber cute!!! i'd would keep applying this just to hold and use it :P
ReplyDeleteI knew you were going to say that! Hahahha
ReplyDeleteI actually like applying it even in public! KSP! Lol
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Buti may reseller!
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for someone to compare this to Mentholatum--of course, it would be you! LipIce Fruity is my HG also and I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend on EOS if I could get at least two LipIce for the price, haha. I think I will just have to check this out in person :)
ReplyDeleteIf you plan to try this go for this flavor!
ReplyDeleteSame as you, I'd love to purchase all flavors just for the packaging!!!
ReplyDeletemy favorite are summer fruit and honeysuckle honeydew, they're my best sellers too!
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind! The fact that this one is organic is a huge plus, but don't get me wrong, I still love Mentholatum
ReplyDeleteWow! Toycon??? Really? Because this looks like a toy???
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who hasn't tried EOS? I'm really happy with Mentholatum Lip Ice in Lemon for a regular untinted lip balm. But I must admit that I have always thought of the egg-shaped packaging cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI have this in Honeysuckle and I love that scent. It is fun to apply but its not as moisturizing as The One lip balms but those are a pain cause they are in a pot
ReplyDeleteI wanna try the other flavors too
Agree! I find that ok lips people would LOVE this! No wonder most actresses love this because they have good lips! Mine is uber dry!
ReplyDeletehahahah well it used to be me who haven't tried EOS, but trust me, a lot haven't tried this pa due to its unavailability! :) If you like Mentholatum Lip Ice you'll find this ok :)
ReplyDeleteReally? Now I want to try that one! :)
ReplyDeletehahahah for someone who raves on Menthlatum! Yes, that's me! :) Glad this helps! and again, this is not as waxy as Mentholatum and the minty feel of EOS lasts longer!!!
ReplyDeleteI own the 4 pc set and Mint ang pinaka-fave ko, the red one makes me dizzy kaya ayun di ko nagamit. IMO mas moisturising yung Stick lipbalms nila, Vanilla Bean smells sooo good. You should give it a try...
ReplyDeleteah thanks for letting me know At least I know what "not to" get :)
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging, it's so cute! Too bad the balm's not very moisturizing though!
ReplyDeleteAgree, only the moisturizing level. This works for people with good lips to

ReplyDeleteso cute! i love the color of the one you got. sounds like a yummy flavor too. it's too cute!
ReplyDeleteIf you're a fan of anything minty! this is the one for you :) the minty feel
ReplyDeletelasts!!! :)
i have been reading lots of positive reviews about this one..i'm not a lip balm fan but i might give this one a try.
ReplyDeletethe packaging is indeed cute!
Wow, if you're not a fan of lip balms, that means you have great lips! I
ReplyDeleteCANNOT live without lip balm, its super dry and it cracks!
i have this too and i really liked it when i got it. but in the long run it failed to keep my lips moisturized. :(
ReplyDeletei would agree that the packaging is cute and it smells nice . i guess this would be moisturizing enough for people with normal lips or those who don't have uber dry lips. :)
I can't agree with you more That's the exact sentiments that I have! Thanks
ReplyDeletefor agreeing!
i'm curious about this but i still can't bring myself to spend that money on a lip balm especially since human heart nature is so cheap!
ReplyDeletei've been wanting to have that!!!
ReplyDeletenice review!
I've heard how Human Heart is good enough and its locally made! So ok na
ReplyDeleteyan! :)
Thanks!
ReplyDeletei'm actually running out of my lipice lemon.. but i think ill still get that one.. :) you started my addiction with that.. then maybe when i'm curious enough with EOS, i might get one.. and yes, i think ill have the mint too.
ReplyDelete*applies EOS Lip Balm just now* LOL! the packaging and the shape is seriously addicting! :) Tell me if it gives you the same effect if you finally own one :D
ReplyDeleteThis got me because of its cute packaging. haha. It's not the best lip balm out there but it's addicting. I love the taste! :)
ReplyDeleteLip Balm Love
@Katie I agree with you, there are probably better out there, but this is definitely addictive and I'm done with my first one :D
ReplyDeleteThe scent of this one is not nice for me. :-(
ReplyDeleteDid you get the same color as mine? If so, it must be minty taste instead of otherwise, I wonder how it smells? Di ba expired na?
