Eyeko - Strawberry Fatbalm

I've been waiting for Eyeko to bring out the new fatbalms for aaages. The moment they appeared on the website, I placed an order! Now let's see if it lived up to my high expectations.

I thought it would be bigger to be honest. It looks like a plump lipstick, but with a flat top. You also don't get all that much product for 7 euros in my opinion. And there's glitters in it. Glitters! I hate glitters ;(. But these were just my first impressions. It really won me over when I started using it. I did like the packaging right away though, the gray looks way better than the previously pink fat balms.


Eyeko describes it as a pink colour, but it looks more of a muted red to me. And well, I'm scared of red lipsticks. I've got big eyes and full cheeks with a relatively small mouth, so vibrant lips easily look funny on me. I actually look okay wearing this on my lips! I thought it would hold a lot less pigment, but it's quite okay. Therefore, you don't need a lot of product. And the glitters I hate so much, you can hardly tell it's there. It just becomes a nice glowy sheen. Pfew! The only problem I have is getting it on my lips. The balm is so big you easy get colour outside of your lips. I can't say anything about the moisturizing effect because I mainly use it as a cream blush. I just get some of it on my fingers and dab it on my cheeks, it gives me a nice pinky flush, I like it. O, and the smell! I actually like it, it's like super sweet strawberry candy.

Pro:
- packaging
- pigmentation
- scent

Con:
- price
- can colour outside the lips
- amount of product

I think for the amount you get, 7 euros is a bit much maybe. However I do think I'm getting another one in a paler colour so I can use it on my lips daily. I think Minty would be something for me.


Have a nice day,
