EOS Lip balm smooth spheres

I love the cute packaging of EOS lip balm spheres. The texture of these lipbalms is really lovely but I don't find them the best if your lips are dry as they aren't very hydrating. As long as my lips aren't flaking I find them moisturise enough for everyday use. I have six flavours: blueberry and acai; honeysuckle honeydew; strawberry sorbet; summer fruits; sweet mint & Vanilla bean.

Blueberry and Acai 

This is a fruity scent that I really enjoy in summer time.

Honeysuckle Honeydew
This flavour is my least favourite it smells really chemically.

Strawberry Sorbet
This lip balm smells like a delicious strawberry ice cream.

Summer Fruits
This lip balm has a very light scent which is nice if your don't want a strong scent.

* Organic. ** Component of natural flavour.

Sweet Mint
This is a very strong peppermint scent which personal I find a little over powering.
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Beeswax/Cera Alba (Cire d'Abeille)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract*, Tocopherol, Limonene**, Linalool**. 
* Organic. ** Component of natural flavour.

Vanilla Bean
This lip balm has hardly any scent but is very moisturising.
Vanilla Bean Smooth Sphere: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Beeswax/Cera Alba (Cire D’Abeille)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Natural Flavor (Aroma), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract*, Tocopherol, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*. *Organic 

Overall, these lipbalms retail at £5.99 each which is quite expensive for something that struggles to fix chapped lips. The packaging is cute and the scent range is good.

New obsession

So I seem to have come to the party a little late but hey I'm here now! Lipbalm crazy have you seen how many different types of lip balm that are available in 2016. It's crazy! If you type lip balm haul in on you tube there is page after page of haul videos with millions of lip balms of every flavour imaginable and lots of new and different packaging. I used to be a Vaseline and lush only lip balm sort of a girl however, I seem to now be a lip balm junkie.

The collection started small with 2 EOS mint and summer fruits. Once I tried EOS I was in love with it I've since brought a few more flavours. Next to the collection came Carmex which is a brand I've heard of but never ever brought.  Then I added a Balmi to the collection. After that I brought a couple  of baby lips. Finally I brought a few Burt's bees lip balms.

It's safe to say I don't think I'm going to run out of any lip balm and time soon!
