Product Review: Eyeko Minty Fat Balm

Time for another lip balm review. This time, I will be reviewing the Eyeko Minty Fat Balm. First things first, pictures.



First of all, I find the packaging cute because it is pink but a bit cheap, to be honest. But then if the product inside is good, then I am willing to overlook that aspect. The moment I pulled the cap, I detected a minty scent that was just a bit too strong for my liking. It was as if the scent crawled through my nostrils working its way to my brain. Although it did not trigger my allergic rhinitis, I had migraine.


The color looks really pretty so I took that as a good sign that maybe I just might like the product regardless of the scent. I did not apply it directly on my lips and used a lip brush instead because of the scent. It looked a bit frosty on the lips but it also felt minty, which I thought was a bit nice (I used to dislike minty lip balms but because of Mentholatum Lip Ice, I got used to it). I stayed in front of the fan to help get rid of the scent and since I have this habit of licking my lips, I did lick my lips. It tasted awful, I just couldn't put my finger to it but one thing for sure is that it left a horrible taste in my mouth. And oh, it just sat on my lips which is another bummer.


When I removed it from my lips using a wet tissue, I felt that my lips were smooth and soft. Too bad because it could've been a moisturizing lip balm if it weren't for the scent and taste. That being said, I am not going to buy this product and other variants since it was an utter disappointment for me. Good thing is I got this as a gift from Tweetykat again.

I would encourage those with sensitive noses to give this a sniff or try it (without licking it :P) before purchasing if you know someone who owns this balm. But if you are not that sensitive to scented lip products, you might like this. :)

Just a hand swatch, no lip swatch. Na-ah!

Have you tried this balm? How do you like it?

Happy Monday night, super awesome peeps! :)

  10. unless it smells like di naarawan and potpourri.. i can probably take it. But i don't think i'm thrilled with the shade either.. hehehe!

  11. i think the shade is reminding me of elf's pink lemonade with the satin finish and the baby pink ;-)

  12. it's cute but i don't even want to go near it because of the way you described the scent. besides, i don't think that color would even show up on me.

    thanks for the review, pammy. =))

  14. the packaging is really cute plus i love pink so much! if i see it i might have bought it. good thing i read your blog. even if it would work as a great moisturizing lip balm, a super strong smell is definitely a no-no. XD

  18. Lol @ getting a migraine. I guess some products are really just worth staying away from if it doesnt suit our tastes. Is it sold here in Cebu? And I agree, maybe its expired?
