The small, colourful lip-care sphere is already well-known and sought-after. Every girl has at least one of the popular EOS-boxes in her purse. Mine I is the one with strawberry smell in sweet pink. But the EOS lip-care is not only being hyped because of its unusual shape – it really works. I have rarely had such completely nourished lips and now the brand has extended their product line with body lotions and hand creams. I tested whether it’s all just about their extravagant packaging form or their content is living up to its reputation.
EOS is the abbreviation for “Evolution of Smooth” and that’s what it says on the the lilac body lotion (ca. 8 €) in a snappy design. But will this cream really make my skin smooth? After I had realized after the second (okay I’ll be honest: the fourth) try that I have to turn the fastener into to the middle (blondie…), I could finally start putting cream on. The consistency is great: it leaves no smears straight after the application.
My version’s scent (“Delicate Petals”) smells incredibly spring-like: as if you were standing in a sea of tulips in Holland and took a deep breath. The lotion also works quickly without leaving a smeary film. But the morning after I still have a super-soft skin, which feels simply well cared. So thumbs-up for the body lotion. Next time I’ll definitely buy the other scent “Berry Blossom”.
Normally I have a very sensitive nose but I have to admit that I have been mistaken by far with the smell of the hand cream (ca. 6 €). I was totally convinced it had a slightly fruity smell of apples which I am putting on every day but no – it’s cucumber. As a big Moscow-mule fan, this convinces me even more and if you know it, it does really smells of cucumber – but in a pleasant way so don’t be put off by the name.
Who is not so into vegetables on their skin though, can also try one of the other options “Berry Blossom” and “Fresh Flowers”. I am especially thrilled about the fact that it has a slightly cooling effect on the back of my hand. And there is also no residue but only a pleasant velvety feeling.
Thanks to its small, flat shape the hand cream is perfect to take with you everywhere but at the moment it looks very cute on my desk – always at hand and in pastel-colours, it gives off an atmosphere of spring. Big Love.
