EOS egg-shaped lip balm hype?

I received some of these as a gift for Easter. I opened the Lemon Drop and have used it the past two days. I'm not sure if I'm missing something about why these are so loved. I feel like I have to use a lot and re-apply often to get real hydration. It almost feels too slick on my lips? Maybe I'd like one of the other "flavors" better.

And I find the shape really awkward. Lol, I feel really silly rubbing this huge thing on my lips! 

What are your thoughts on these?

Re: EOS egg-shaped lip balm hype?

  • I love them (and have 3), my favorite is the mint. I too felt a little silly at first using them but I got over it.
  • I have the watermelon and it's ok, I like it. I think the lemon one is the only one with sunscreen in it so maybe that's why it doesn't stay on. IDK I'm just guessing
  • I was so thrilled to find these at Walmart last year because people had raved about them. Turns out, I am not a fan and continue to remain loyal to Burt's Bees.

  • I'm on the fence. 

    I get really bad chapped lips and find if I use the same thing for too long, it loses effectiveness. So, EOS was my most recent replacement. I don't find it bad, at all, but also not amazing. But since nothing seems to be amazing lately and my lips are always chapped, I'll stick with it.

    I LOVE the container because I find it easier to find in the depths of my purse. Colourful and oddly shaped, I guess.

    I just got mint - I like that much better than the 'summer fruit' one which I just find so strongly scented. I can't drink or eat anything when wearing it. 

  • I have the pink one...I don't get the hype but I use it and it works fine for me.
  • I have not tried these, but I remember when people were going on about the EOS shaving cream. I bought it once, and it SUCKED!
  • Personally, I think these are awful!  They don't moisturize enough for me.  There are so many better lip balm options out there.  Cute packaging though, I will say that and that is what drew me in.
  • Thumbs down. 

    I have the red one. I bought it on a whim at the pharmacy. 

    I really wish I hadn't.  

  • I like the mint one and use it everyday.  I do not like the summer fruit.  With that one I always end up regretting using it. I should just throw it away.
  • I love the minty one, but I love all mint chap stick/ lip balm. The absolute best for hydration is kiehls though.

    Totally. As I was posting above, I grabbed it because it was beside me and my lips were dry (power of suggestion!) and get irritated all over again because it's so strong. I could have reached one foot further for my purse and gotten on the mint one. I need to just throw it out. 

  • The lemon one, with sunscreen, is the only lip balm w/ chapstick that I like! Most either leave a horrid taste, white lips, or feel dry..but this one goes on nicely and feels like it moisturizes a little while actually being sunscreen for my lips.

    The other ones...eh. I bought a few and I don't love them but I don't hate them. They're about equal to regular Chapstick brand to me.

  • my little sis LOVES these, but i don't get them either.

    my current obsession is old-school chapstick in the new green apple flavor.

  • I don't get it either.  I have the mint one which is alright, and the pink one(grapefruit?).  I still prefer Carmex and Rosebud Salve, EOS doesn't hydrate enough for me. But I also have overly dry lips, and have to apply chapstick often.

  • I bought one because someone here said that it was better than Kiehl's. I like Kiehl's better.

  • I loved them at first, and then after about a week my lips broke out and were completely burned overnight.  It took about a week for them to get back to normal. I stay away from them now!

  • my sister gave me one of these because she worked for the company that made them. I wasnt' a fan.
  • I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really liked them.  Especially for the cost. I have the strawberry one and I really like the smell and there is no taste that bothers me. Something that's similar, but more expensive is the Fresh chapstick. However, that's $22 and that's not something I feel like shelling out cash for frequently.

    Some people are mentioning the Kiehl's chapstick.  Is that the one in the tube? I have the mango and coconut (love the smell) but I feel like it lasts for 5 minutes.  Is there a different one that's better?
