Revo Lip Balm (EOS Rip Off?)

So I was browsing through the new priceline catalogue and saw these Revo lip balms which look like they’re knocking off ESO (Evolution of Smooth). I’m a sucker for cute packaging.

My local priceline is a smaller store and isn’t carrying the range. Has anyone else had an opportunity to check these out?

To be honest I’m a bit put off by the lip balm itself being coloured rather than just the packaging. I know it probably won’t show on the lips but I prefer plain balm unless I’m buying it for the tint.

    Forget revo… I just got my hands on a five pack of ESO. Thank goodness for dads that shop at Costco! The only way this could be any better is if it had the coconut milk one in the pack but I’m still pleased as anything.

    I have never heard about EOS lip balms.

    Agreed! I’m trying to keep petro chemicals and mineral oil away from my face which meant getting rid of a lot of my lip products…

    Whenever I see a new one in the shops I’m pretty much praying while I turn it over to read the ingredients.

    It’s a real bummer that Revo is petroleum based.

    I saw these (REVO) and thought that ‘wow! They have finally come to Australia!’
    Nope, but the packaging is a direct dupe.

    I thought REVO was the Australian re-brand of EOS…

    Keep in mind, as cute as EOS is, when you get to the bottom of the balm it becomes a real pain! Refer to my pic of my current EOS in Tangerine.

    Thanks so much Pretty Princess! I pretty much avoid mineral oil in lip balm like the plague because the only place I get break outs is around my mouth.

    I’ll just have to wait until I can justify an EOS order to trial the adorable packaging 😛

    I haven’t heard of EOS. I’d prefer to use something which doesn’t contain sulfates parabens or petroleum though.
