eos Lip Balm hype

I've been hearing about eos lip balms a lot recently and I read mixed review about it. I never really needed one before since I had my Nivea Men's Lip Balm but I suddenly lost it so the California humidity has been taking it's toll on my lip and it started getting flaky.

So while I was on my date at Target (yes, date... yes, at Target) I impulsively grabbed one by the check out counter without even bothering to check for the "flavor". I think I paid more or less $3 for it... which is a steal for me since I remember that they were sold for PHP250 back in the Philippines.

I got the Summerfruit... Aside from the packaging being cute as hell, I like how it catches my eyes that I am reminded that my lips need moisturizing. It only takes 2-3 swipes for the balm to fully coat my lip. The smell is really yummy but the taste sort of reminds me of latex.

What I like most about it is that I can apply it over or under my lipstick without it wiping away. For reference, my lipstick is the generic Sephora brand.

The flakiness is a bit gone, so I'm so-so on the moisturizing part of it.
