[eos - evolution of smooth] Sphere Lip Balms *Honeysuckle Honeydew, Sweet Mint & Tangerine (Medicated)*

My favorite lip balms aren't from Asia but from the USA: The eos (evolution of smooth) - Sphere Lip Balms. I just love these natural lip balms and got three (3) flavours: Honeysuckle Honeydew, Sweet Mint & Tangerine (Medicated).
I purchased them in Hong Kong/ Taiwan but they're made in USA!

The sphere lip balms are available in the following flavours:

- Honeysuckle Honeydew

- Summer Fruits

- Sweet Mint

- Strawberry Sorbet

- Passion Fruit

- Lemon Drop

- Tangerine (Medicated)

Description: To keep your lips looking and feeling healthy. We created this 95% organic, 100% natural lip balm that's petrolatum & paraben free, just like you.

Each lip balm is housed in a rounded, egg-like container with a twist-off lid and contains 7g!

Every flavour got another color! I got Honeysuckle Honeydew (green), Sweet Mint (blue) and Medicated Tangerine (orange).

Some details I found online:

In a smooth sphere for easy application that precisely glides on lips, this lip balm has broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. This lip balm contains Vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil to keep your lips kissably smooth. 

Petrolatum & paraben free

Gluten free

Phthalate free

Not tested on animals  

The lip balms contain Phenol 0,5% (antibacterial) plus, Coconut Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Jojoba Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Ginger Root Extract, Acai Fruit Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Pepermint Oil, Honeydew Melon Seed Extract and/ or Honeysuckle Flower Extract.

 Tangerine (Medicated)

 Honeysuckle Honeydew

Sweet Mint

The lip balms have a off white/ yellowish color but go on completely clear. They are very smooth and glide easily on my lips. I like the round shape a lot!!

The scents are so-so... My favorite atm is Honeysuckle Honeydew. It has a slight honeydew (melon) scent and tastes very sweet/ sugary.

Sweet Mint got that minty scent and a cooling effect. 

The Tangerine one doesn't have a very strong scent. I expected something more fruity or citrus-like but I barely can smell tangerine out of it. Maybe because it's medicated?!

How to use: Apply to lips as often as needed!

Price (each): around 4,- €/ US$5
Bought at: eBay (birdbirdking & alphabeautyuk)    

What I love:  

Just love them!!

What I don’t like: 

The scents are not always the best but I still like the balms.

Will I buy this again? Yes, will but Summer Fruits, Strawberry Sorbet or Passion Fruit as well.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Juicy pop tube *Apricot Smoothie*

[ETUDE HOUSE] recently got some new Lip Glosses. I'm not really sure if these are completely new or if they just changed the design and added some new flavors. Anyway, I'm talking about the Juicy pop tube glosses.

The new ones are available in eight (8) different colors and flavors:

- #1 Blueberry Soda

- #2 Watermelon Soda

- #3 Cherry Soda

- #4 Lime Soda

- #5 Orange Soda

- #6 Apricot Smoothie

- #7 Strawberry Smoothie

- #8 Raspberry Smoothie

I got just one color for now - No.6 Apricot Smoothie.

Description: Natural Luster Lip Gloss!

Sturdy, smooth tube for clean & convenient application & use. Smooth & light texture without stickiness. Easy-to-carry (pocket-sized).

The Juicy pop glosses come in a translucent and small tube with a simple twist-off lid. The tube contains 12g. The applicator is just made of plastic!

I got Apricot Smoothie because I liked the peachy orange shade. It also smells super fruity like apricots! This lip gloss isn't sticky and has also no shimmer. My lips just look very glossy with a hint of color.

Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:    

The fruity scent & non-sticky texture!

What I don’t like:
There is nothing atm.

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting another color.

[TONYMOLY] 7-Fruit Princess Gloss *Plum Princess*

A few month ago I received a really cute Lip gloss.... the 7-Fruit Princess Gloss from [TONYMOLY]. I don't use a lot of stuff from this brand even though they have some nice things.

I wanted a Lip gloss without much color. That's why I got this cute gloss in  #2 Plum Princess.

The Gloss is available in 7 different fruit flavors:

- #1 Strawberry Princess

- #2 Plum Princess

- #3 Mangosteen Princess

- #4 Apricot Princess

- #5 Pomegranate Princess

- #6 Cherry Princess

- #7 Apple Princess

Description: Princess Gloss features all the fun and flavor of you favorite fruit-flavored Lip Smacker. Moisturizing formula softens and smooths lips with a juicy burst of fruit flavor.

Contains Shea Butter, Vitamin A, C, E and Rose Hip Oil.

The packaging is translucent and the bottom part of the Lip gloss container, too. The lid is very cute and looks like a plum. Each flavor got another 'fruit' as head/ lid. The sponge applicator is soft but small coz it's just a mini lip gloss with 7g.

I got #2 Plum Princess coz I saw some sample pics and this one seemed to be rather clear. After trying it by myself I can agree it: The color is barely visible. It has a hint of pink in it with some violet shimmer. The consistency is - like most lip glosses - jelly-like but not sticky and it smells like plums.

The 7-Fruit Princess Gloss is very cute and handy but the applicator is too small for me. I have to use it many times to get enough gloss on my lips.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)    

What I love:    

The cute design and small size.

What I don’t like:
The applicator is too small. Need to re-apply many times to get enough gloss on my lips.

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color. But it's also a bit pricey for its size.

[SKINFOOD] Rose Essence Lip Balm *Care Balm*

I signed the contract for my new apartment today. I'm kinda excited because it will be the very first time that I really live alone. No parents, housemates or boyfriend!! In May I can move in and the best part will be the shopping: I need ALL furniture including a new kitchen.

I'm always have problems with dry lips especially during winter time. I use a lot of lip balms at this season. Last time I purchased the Rose Essence Lip Balm in #1 Care Balm from [SKINFOOD]. It's also available as #2 Tinted Balm for rosy lips.

Description: An essence lip balm with rose essential oil that moisturizes and nourishes your lips at the same time while protecting from environmental aggressors. The subtle fragrance of rose attunes your senses.

 The Lip Balm comes in a small metallic pink container with a twist-off lid. Inside are 8g!

The milky pink care balm has a thick consistency and the scent of roses. I don't like rose scents but this one is still bearable for me. You have to use your fingers to get the balm out of the container what I don't really like. I prefer stick balms!!

After applying it, my lips look less dry and glossy. I like to use it over night!

My lips without any balm (pic above) and with the Rose Essence Lip Balm (pics below):

How to use:  Apply liberally onto the lips whenever they feel dry or you want to create soft lips.

Price: around 7,50,- €/ US$9.50    
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)   

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love.   

What I don’t like:  

I have to use my fingers to get the balm out. 

Will I buy this again? I'm not sure yet!
