I've been desperate to try the EOS spherical lip balms for absolutely ages now but they're really hard/expensive to get over here. Balmi is a new lip balm that is pretty much a rip off of the EOS concept but for me its definitely a welcome new product on the UK market. I saw these on a few blogs over the last week and headed to my local Boots where I bought it for £4.99. It comes in several flavours but as I have an aversion to really synthetic tasting lip balms I decided to go for the classic mint flavour.
The balm itself is really moisturising and leaves my lips feeling soft and looking shiny. The mint flavour is really refreshing and doesn't taste overly fake at all but it doesn't last very long. It disappeared after about 10 minutes whereas the balm lasted until I ate something. This product contains SPF15 so it'd be great for taking on holiday with you. I really like the packaging and I find that the shape makes it really easy to apply. Its so much more hygienic than sticking your finger in a pot. The little key chain part is a nice added bonus and the cute design makes me want to collect a few more to adorn my keys with. Considering the nice packaging and ease of use I'd say that a fiver is a fair price for this product. The strawberry and coconut flavours are definitely next on my list.

I've heard so much about these, I'm definitely going to have to try them at some point! Now it's just a case of deciding which flavour to go for... xx

These look so nice, I had no idea there was a coconut version, I need that in my life! The packaging is so cute, definitely much more hygienic than having to use your fingers! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteKeep wanting to try these, the packaging is probably to blame!

ReplyDeleteI tried to get one on the boots site the other day but they are all sold out! Shame the flavour doesnt last! Xo
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of these around on the blogs recently- I actually almost bought an EOS balm in the states but thought I'd get one of these when I got home! Need to find them now!
