   I bought the pink tint of this product and really like it. If you’re looking for color and/or a lot of shimmer, this isn’t it. It moisturizes, gives you a bit of a sheen with a faint amount of reflective material, and just gives your lips a little umph. I love the large product because it takes little effort to coat both lips, but the packaging is irritating just because it doesn’t fit well in a jeans pockets (if you’re lucky enough to have jeans with real pockets anymore) or in a clutch. Love the product. Don’t like the packaging.

   This disappointed me a teeny tiny tinge (still giving it a 5 rating thou) because it does not impart but the tiniest amount of color/sheen basically don’t expect a lipgloss I don’t know what I was expecting maybe. The scent is vanilla (subtle, pleasant), & leaves my lips feeling great. That’s why I really love this & I want to get more eos’s. I have pink & pearl. They make your lips pretty!

   I do love this balm. It’s moisturizing, vanilla smell & taste, and the pink shimmer is very flattering on older lips. My complaints- the unscrew top is a pain, it’s hard for me to find in my purse (must be the odd shape), and it’s expensive. Heads up if you like this, try Wet n Wilds naturals (same shade).????

   So far I like this. I’ve never been a huge fan of the EOS balms, mainly because they never felt creamy enough to me. But this one (I got the sheer pink color) feels creamy and smooth, and tastes/smells amazing.
   I love the light wash of shimmer that this leaves on my lips. That paired with the moisture really gives my lips a fuller look, which I appreciate.
   I’ve always liked the feel of the packaging (especially since it’s so easy to throw in my purse and go) but the packaging of the shimmer spheres is really quite attractive. The sphere of balm feels plush and makes application very enjoyable.
   The was $5 at Target, which is pricier than EOS’s usual balms, but considering how expensive balms in general are getting, I’m not too put off by it.
   If it continues to keep my lips comfortable throughout the winter, I’ll definitely repurchase. It’s pretty enough to finish off a light makeup day, and feels soothing on my perpetually chapped lips.

   Yes! I’ve been waiting for eos to come out with a tinted version for a long time. I have this in Sheer Pink. It looks like a frosted pink lipstick when you open the sphere, and I was afraid I would try it once then immediately throw it out if it looked the same way on my lips…but it doesn’t-its actually so sheer I barely notice any color at all. It just makes my lips look fuller and shinier, like a sheer, shimmery pinky gloss…except it feels moisturizing like a balm. The previous reviewer commented that it feels grainy-and it does feel a bit that way when you apply it-as balms often do when they contain shimmer-but once it’s on I cant feel the grains at all, just moisture. If it felt grainy on my lips I would toss it, as I have with other brands of balms with shimmer because that irritates my sensitive lips, and also drives me crazy-but this one is totally fine. It has the usual ingredients of the other eos balms- beeswax, coconut oil, jojoba, shea butter, etc…with mica added for shine, and color added but it’s the same as my natural lip color-not the frosty Barbie lips you would assume by looking at it. The packaging is so cute, and the scent is very yummy. I paid a couple dollars more for this then the regular eos spheres-which is annoying because I already feel like eos is overpriced and I normally only buy them on sale. But this was new and eye catching in it’s black and pink packaging, had to have it, and I’m glad I bought it…go get one

   Picked this up from Kohl’a (it’s also available in Ulta and Walgreen’s). I don’t remember how much it was, somewhere around $4? It comes n two shades, Pearl (white-ish), and a pinky-shade. I have the pink one and I love it, it’s kind of the 90’s frosted lip look, but it smells heavenly. Only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s kind of grainy feeling 🙁
