I went to Walgreens (for makeup and half off
Easter chocolate, of course) and I saw that they had their Walgreens Lip Balms with
Vitamin E & Aloe on sale. I've mentioned that I'm not exactly in love with
the EOS lip balms. They are in that awkward shape and usage causes a weird
indentation in the product. I'm a plain "balm in a tube" kinda girl. That
being said, my kiddo loves them. If she loves them, they get purchased (by/for
her anyway). So, when I saw the Walgreens lip balms on sale, I
decided to pick up 2 for the kiddo...and 2 for myself.
And, I was pleasantly surprised! I actually
like the Walgreens lip balm better than the EOS balm!
The Walgreens balms came in watermelon and strawberry.
I happen to have both of those EOS flavors. They all smell like the fruit they
are supposed to smell like and the taste isn't terrible (They smell good
people. You are BOUND to lick your lips a time or two).
The Walgreens balms came in the same egg shaped
container but the product inside isn't a round ball. The top portion of the
ball is flat (so not a ball at all). That's a little less weird to rub on your
lips (a little less weird, not a lot). The formula appears to be slightly
different too. I found the Walgreens balms to go on the lips more easily than
the EOS balms. They also seem to last a bit longer and my lips felt more
moisturized. Maybe the addition of vitamin E and aloe? I dunno.
If I had come across these first, my opinion of
egg shaped lip gloss would have been different. I would have been willing to
try out more flavors.
And now, I will!
