[Review] EOS Honey suckle\Honeydew lip balm

Hello, guys~! ^^
First of all, this is going to be a very negative review lol As you can notice I rare write negative stuff about the products I use. Mostly because I have a good experience and usually like the things I have bought. The second reason is that I like to share a positive experience with you rather than writing a negative one. However, sometimes it is important to tell about bad products, too. So maybe someone won`t lost his\her money for the products, which isn`t worth it. 
Today`s edition - the product I regret buying or a crap product haha And as you can see from the blog title it is EOS Honeydew lip balm.
I have wanted to try EOS lip balms for a while. I have seen lots of videos on Youtube, where girls have this lip balms. I liked the packaging a lot and I thought if so many people are using EOS, this lip balm should be something really amazing, right? How wrong I was... t_t 
It is impossible to find an EOS products in Russia. The only available option for me was to buy it from e-bay. You can imagine, that EOS lip balm at e-bay is way more expensive than at some local shops in the USA. But i have decided to try it anyway, so I have found a seller with not-so-high prices. This little egg-shape lip balm cost ~8$ (at my case). I find it very expensive for a lip balm, but remember, I though this is super good product. so it might be worth the money! How naive i was.. lol
After a while I have received my purchase. 


  
this is how much I`ve used it. I really tried ><

Look pretty nice! This light green packaging is cute ^^ Of course, the content and the properties seem to be awesome. I was soo~ excited to use it! However, very soon my excitement became a huge disappointment. >-<`
Just let me show you the pros and cons of the EOS Honeydew lip balm, and you will understand why I don`t like it at all. *and why it is so crappy*

Pros
  1. cute package
  2. nice smell
  3. good content - super natural! 
Cons
  1. uncomfortable to apply - the ordinary lip stick shaped lip balms are way better and easier it usage
  2. sweet taste - omg, i hate it sooooo much!! I want my lip balm to have no taste whatsoever! >-<``
  3. pricey - i can buy 3 (!!) Nivea lip balms for the same price (as each is just 2$)!
  4. not moisturizing - i have to re-apply this lip balm again and again and still it doesn`t moisturize lips at all. Once again, Nivea lip balms always work amazing when it comes to moisturizing and keeping my lips soft and smooth. 
EOS stands for "Evolution Of Smooth" - are you guys serious? Like, really? *smooth my arse*
The main reason for buying a lip balm is that we want to keep our lips moisturizing and soft, to protect them from cold or windy weather or to much sun. However, EOS lip balm can do nothing! Except having a cute package and nice content. 
This product is so not worth a hype!

p.s. Do you have another experience with EOS lip balms? Or maybe you were also disappointed? Share it with me!

E-bay haul: October edition

Hello, guys~!
I`m here again~ hehe I like online shopping a lot, which you could probably see from my posts :p As I am living in a small city in Russia *yeah, my country sucks when it comes to good shops*, I can get some awesome products only purchasing them online. And the best place for me is E-bay! The most purchased items (in my case) are: CD disks & cosmetics from Koreaclothes, shoes & accessories from China; food and beauty supplements from Japan.
No wonder, I am always waiting for something kkk
Right now I am going to show some things I have received during this month.

1. Tonymoly Baby Doll BB powder
+ Lioele Fresh sun screen SPF 45 as a sample

This is a second time I`ve purchased this powder. It means this product is awesome. Really! Because it`s a rare case to me to buy the same cosmetic product again, as I always want to try something new, to find a better one. 

2. Black knee-high stockings with spikes!
 
They are just super cool! Comfortable and look amazing ^-^ I wear them with skirt and my black creepers.

3. EOS honeysuckle\honeydew lip balm

I`m using it right now ^-^ Overall, it leaves a pleasant feeling, but there is also something I don`t like about it. I won`t write its pros and cons here, as I am planning to post a full review. Stay tuned!! ;p

4. MIZON Special Therapy Good Night white sleeping mask and A.C Care Solution Mark-X blemish after cream

Sleeping mask is wonderful! It works pretty good. But I haven`t really tried "blemish after cream". So, I might write more about these two products later~ *if i won`t be too lazy -_-`*

5. The Face Shop Rice Ceramide moisture toner & emulsion
+ The Face Shop Chia Seed cream and SKINFOOD Watery Berry blending cream as samples from seller

I have already included both Rice Ceramide toner and emulsion in my daily skin care routine. And as far I have only positive results. Gonna use them a little bit more, before giving better description. ^-^

6. Meiji Vegetable & Fruit Gummy with collagen

I have eaten them all, because the pack was small ^^` Candies look like little carrots (like on the front side of the pack) and has citrus and carrot taste. Very yummy!! And as they contain collagen, they are also good for skin~ *that`s why I like Japanese products lol*


p.s. if you are interested in some particular product from this list, let me know. I might write a review on it. 
^-^
