EOS Lip Sphere [review]

Remember when I had (what looked like) a hundred and one lip balms in my collection? [Read this blog post for a quick reminder]. Since then, I've  stopped buying lip balms every time I pop out for a little shopping. I've actually stopped using most of my collection too! Even my previous go-to lip balm, Carmex (now gathering dust in a drawer). Why? Because of the EOS lip sphere! I've wanted to get my hands on this lip balm ever since I spotted it on Slice of Lemon in this post. I mean, who can say no to a cute little lip balm? Especially when they come in a range of flavours (and they just look adorable!)

Summer Fruits (top) and Sweet Mint (bottom)

I've been using the Summer Fruits Lip Sphere ever since I got it (sometime last year). As you can probably tell by comparing it to the Sweet Mint (which is new), it's been used a lot! This lip balm has replaced all my other ones, as I find that my lips stay moisturised throughout the day. I apply the lip sphere in the morning and in the evening every day and I rarely have to reapply during the day (which is great, because I don't actually carry it around with me). The balm itself is made from all natural and organic ingredients and is free from parabens, petrolatum and phthalates (basically all the chemical stuff that isn't good for your skin).

The packaging is quite bulky, which is the only downside I can think of, but it's something that I can live with. The other issue is that EOS lip sphere's are not so easy to get hold of in the UK. I've only found them online so far, at Cute Cosmetics and Naturisimo. Unfortunately there is a big difference in the price (which always seems to be the case) as they retail for just under £6 in the UK, whereas in USA they cost $3.29 (approx. £2.20).


What's your favourite lip balm?

Halal and Organic Skin Scrub [review]

I purchased the Sweet Lemon, Ginger and Manuka Honey Skin Scrub from Halal & Organic at the Smoky not Smudgy event in November. I've only used it a few times, but thought it would be useful to do a review as it's currently on sale on the website!

The scrub smells pretty good, sort of spicy and warm (which comes from the ginger and honey), and is exactly what is needed in this cold winter weather. It's a coarse sugar scrub, so I wouldn't personally use it on my face. I've been instead using it on my legs and on my arms, by applying and massaging onto damp skin and then washing it off. The lemon, olive and argan oils in the scrub means that the skin stays moisturised and doesn't need any extra moisturising afterwards (unless you have really dry skin). The website recommends this particular scrub for oily, normal or sensitive skin, but I think it would work just as well on dry skin types too!


Halal and Organic also have other scrubs available too, including Pink Himalayan Rose and Lavender (Sensitive skin), Sea Orange and Mustard Seed (Normal/Dry skin), Sea Lemon and Poppy Seed (Normal/Oily) , and a few others too. Be sure to check out the website here and their facebook page here =)
