EOS- Evolution of Smooth: Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream *****


      
      I loved the EOS lip spheres so much, when I saw the shave cream at Walgreens last week, I had to have it! There were three scents available: Vanilla Bliss, Pomegranate Raspberry, and Lavender Jasmine. I didn't really love the last two scents, so I ended up with Vanilla Bliss, and I love the smell. When my older sister was in Junior High, she completely overdid the vanilla scent craze, and I have hated the smell of vanilla ever since. However, the Vanilla Bliss scent is mild and sweet and completely lovely. 
      In case you care, it is paraben-free, phthalate-free, and has all kinds of wonderful ingredients like oat, aloe, and shea butter. There is no metal on the container, so it won't leave rust on your tub which is a big plus for me.     
      As for the product, it's different from any shaving gel I've ever tried. It says you can use this product either wet or dry, but I have yet to try it dry. I don't think it would work well simply because when used wet, I find that it clogs the razor a little. It's easily remedied by running hot water over the razor, but I imagine the problem would be worse if used dry. If you're daring and want to try it, I would recommend using a really thin layer of product. 
      After using this shave cream, I immediately noticed how incredibly moisturized my legs were. I didn't even need lotion. Usually I hate shaving my legs, and go without shaving way longer than I should. In fact, it's been something my best friends have teased me about for years, but now that I have this stuff I have been shaving my legs much more regularly.
      This shave cream is a little expensive. I think I paid around $7 for it, but I love it so much. I will be keeping a lookout for sales and coupons for this. It's a great product. 5/5 stars. 

EOS- Evolution of Smooth: Smooth Sphere Lip Balm Review ****


      I am a self-proclaimed addict when it comes to lip products. Lip gloss, lip balm, and to a lesser extent, lipstick, are my drug of choice. I don't like to spend a lot of money on any form of makeup, but when I saw the honey dew EOS sphere in Rite-Aid a couple of months ago, I had to have it.
      The lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, paraben-free, petroleum-free, and Phthlate(how do you even pronounce that word)-free. I don't normally go out of my way to find a product like that, but it's nice to know that it's been so thoughtfully created.
      The packaging is absolutely adorable, but makes the product awkward to carry with you, but you can also buy the product in a stick form (which I have been unable to find as of yet). As a side note, its bulky size makes it a perfectly safe toy for my 9-month-old nephew. I taught him to play catch with it, as well as how to crawl. 
      As for the product itself, it is one of the best lip balms I've ever used. I love the formulation of the lip balm, and it seems to stay on forever. It's incredibly hydrating, and the smell is simply lovely. I later bought a little summer pack with three more spheres including the summer fruit and the lemon drop with spf 15. The lemon drop is nice, but I LOVE the summer fruit scent. There seems to be more product in this sphere than in your typical tube of chapstick, which is especially nice for those of us who chronically reapply chapstick several times an hour.
      Overall, I give this product 4/5 stars because while the packaging has been a real positive for me, it is bulky and not very portable. I love the product itself, though. That's a 5/5. I'm sure you'll love these. All the women in my extended family have noticed mine and immediately needed to try them out, and everyone so far loves them.  
      I found the spheres at both RiteAid and Walgreens, but you can use the website's store locator to find them near you: http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/locator/
