Yay, ANOTHER new series! I thought to do this because even though people may not like products, they usually just choose not to talk about them.These are going to be products I have tried and hated, and I’ll tell you why and show pictures. I like to add a poll at the end of this and the things I love to see everyone’s general consensus on things. Just because I hate something doesn’t mean that everyone else does. And this is very true for my first item: EOS Lip Balm.
EOS Lip Balms are about $3 at many drugstores (I got mine at Rite Aid)
Why I Hate it:
–Waxy consistency. It doesn’t feel smooth at all!
– Overhyped. This was extremely overhyped on YouTube. Everyone and their mom was making videos on how good these were.
–Over Priced. These are over $3.00 and I think it probably comes with less product than other lip balms that are more effective for less money.
– It made my lips break out in gross tiny bumps. I tried this product two different times with multiple applications and BOTH times I got these bumps. The first time it was on the top lip, now it’s on my bottom lip. The next day it’s spread on both lips. 3 days later I still have it.This is unfortunately money wasted and is going straight in the trash.

This might offend someone stupid!!!!!!

This wasn't meant to offend anyone….I clearly acknowledge that I don't like this product but loads of people do. Just because a product is horrible to me doesn't mean that it won't be amazing for someone else. And I think you calling me "stupid" is more offensive and immature than the post itself. Thanks!

This product also made my lips break out in tiny bumps!! First on the top lip, then on the bottom! I wanted to like this product but unfortunately I have to stop using it because of this! 🙁

That sucks! I'm kind of glad someone had the same experience as me because I thought it was just me! I'm sad I can't use them also 🙁

Yesterday i used my girlfriends eos (red) lip balm. one area of my lips were chapped so i applied i on my lips. the next evening out of the blue i had these tiny bumps on my upper lip. i researched it a lot and became worried. my girlfriend has never had anything like this and uses the product. Also i was in the sun all day and i read somewhere else smoking cigarettes can cause the allergic reaction to speed it up. hmmm im glad i read this post and thank you for posting this.

You're welcome! It's very weird. I don't smoke but it happens to me both times I used it. My sister uses it without issues though!

I googled break-outs and EOS to see what came up and found your site. It doesn't cause me breakouts on my actual lips, but definitely around the mouth. However, to their credit, anything 'greasy' I put on my face breaks me out….which is why I cant use shea butter or certain lotions on my face.

That's strange, but makes sense! That's a bummer!
