eos 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Collection

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a great opportunity to learn more about the breast cancer. eos (evolution of smooth) makes it easy to support the cause with a limited edition three-piece collection for which 100% of the net profits are to be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. The eos 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Collection ($9.99) is available September 2014 through November 2014 at Shopper's, Loblaws, Target, Walmart, Giant Tiger, Rexall, Lawtons and evolutionofsmooth.com! 

As mentioned, the set contains three eos products - the Strawberry Sorbet Smooth Stick Lip Balm, Pomegranate Raspberry Smooth Sphere Lip Balm (see blueberry acai review) , and Berry Blossom Hand Lotion. I've tried two of the three products (everything but the Limited Edition Strawberry Sorbet Smooth Stick). 

My feelings about the eos are just about the same as the rest of the world. Awesome 96-100% natural and organic, paraben-free, gluten-free product housed in stylishly ergonomic, purse-friendly packaging. I love the scent of the Pomegranate Raspberry Smooth Sphere and find the Berry Blossom fragrance a little strong but still nice. The Limited Edition Strawberry Sorbet Smooth Stick looks and feels just like the Smooth Sphere in Strawberry Sorbet (except for the tube form). Like all eos balms, the scent is fairly lightweight and the balm is on the hard side, which can be good or bad depending on what you're into. 

All in all, if you're a fan of eos products, this is the perfect way to stock up and support a good cause at the same time!

EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balm in Coconut Milk and Vanilla Mint

I'm still not over the fact that EOS lip balms are absolutely adorable. As of August 2014, the NEW EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balms in Coconut Milk and Vanilla Mint ($3.99 each) will be available at a local drugstore near you. If you're not an avid collector of all the flavours of EOS lip balms, I bet there's one big burning question in your head - How are these different? 

Less than a year ago, I reviewed the EOS Smooth Sphere in Blueberry Acai (see here). I'm a big fan of these balms, but I also know that not everyone is like me. In regards to the Smooth Spheres, one of the most common complaints is that they're too hard and not moisturizing enough. When applied, the new EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balms are a bit softer and they feel more hydrating on the lips (the moisture factor lasts ~2 hours). 

New EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balms in Vanilla Mint and Coconut Milk (and nails to match!)

Other than that (and the two new flavours) not much has changed. I'm still a huge, if not bigger, fan of the EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balms - they have the same adorable packaging, they're 99% natural, and petrolatum/paraben/gluten/phthalate-free. Furthermore, both the new flavours are pretty delicious smelling. Coconut Milk is a bit more aromatic and fresh, which reminds me a lot of a Chinese coconut milk and tapioca dessert. The Vanilla Mint is on the subtle side (less obvious than sweet mint). If I had to choose between the two, I'd definitely pick up the EOS Coconut Milk, as the scent is more unique to the line of minty and fruity flavours. 

Will you be picking up one (or two) of the new EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balms? If so, which scent? :)
