How to distinguish a fake
Due to the popularity and positive attitude towards EOS products, many people started making cheap Chinese knockoffs to make money from the famous brand. In the composition of such products, as a rule, there is not a single natural component, but it is full of all kinds of parabens, artificial dyes and vaseline, which not only will not bring you the desired result, but can also do great harm.
Fakes smell very different than the original - the smell is rather unpleasant and chemical. And their packaging is not as soft and pleasant to the touch as that of a real manufacturer. Therefore, be very careful when buying such products. And here are some ways to distinguish the original from the fake:
- The original always contains a protective layer - blister or film;
- Pleasant to the touch bottle, which in no case smells like plastic or something chemical;
- Almost all original packages have an even gaplocated at the junction of the cover and base. Exceptions are products such as "Coconut Milk", "Vanilla Mint" and "Blackberry";
- Original balm color - light beige. Counterfeits tend to make the color darker;
- Pay attention to the recess under the finger – in the original it is even and comfortable, and the engraving of the company is neat and clear, the packaging itself opens and closes easily;
- The original product smells light and gentle, unlike a fake, the smell of which resembles more cheap soap or perfume;
- If your balm tastes like soap or doesn’t feel at all, then it’s definitely a fake.. The original is always a little sweet, but by no means cloying.
In addition, pay attention to the composition - the names of some ingredients can be greatly distorted there. The box should also be considered more carefully. Those who supply a low-quality and unnatural product have also already learned how to fake it, but you can still notice some details. As a rule, the picture on the package is printed using a cheap printer and cheap paper, so the image quality will be worse - less clear, more “noisy”.
Reviews
Feedback on EOS balms is almost all positive. Users emphasize excellent care and a pleasant feeling on the lips, as well as cooling in products that are designed to cool. Several users honestly wrote that for many years they did not consider these balms a necessity, but after trying them, they can no longer tear themselves away and admit that they were wrong.
Several customers compared the balm in sticks and in the sphere. The sticks seem to be more convenient for them, but the girls were upset with the packaging, as its material collects all the surrounding dirt on itself - for example, from a bag or a cosmetic bag. Also, some users noticed that the total mass in the sticks is slightly less than that in the sphere, but at the same time they cost the same and, according to most, this is not very reasonable.
Not everyone is happy with the price although, according to these same buyers, it pales in comparison with the positive qualities of the balm - excellent hydration, ease of distribution and excellent consistency. Separately, everyone, without exception, likes the natural composition.
Balms that have come to the taste of most - "Sweet Mint" for the cooling effect and flavor of mint, "Lemon Twist" for the best in moisturizing and "Strawberry Sorbet". In the latter, users like everything - from aroma to effective action. Least of all reviews and some violent enthusiasm to "Passionfruit" and "Shimmer Sheer Pink". Not everyone likes the first one because of the smell, but about the second there were many statements about the fact that not everyone wants their lips to shine a lot.
