Eyeko: Fat Balms

Until recently I’ve been a stranger to the cosmetics that Eyeko sell. If I’m entirely honest Eyeko doesn’t even come in the top 15 brands that initially come to mind when I want to purchase make up. I’ve always had the misconception that they didn’t produce anything suitable for my skin tone – with the exception of their nail polishes
I was pleasantly surprised to find that their multi-purpose Fat Balms which come in a variety of scents are actually better than I thought they’d be. These blush sticks offer a sheer wash of colour that aren’t sticky (certainly not to the extent I imagined them to be) and are a decent option to the traditional powder blush. I also don’t mind the sweet, sugary scents as I got used to them after a few applications.
Alternatively they also act as a tinted lip balm when applied to the lips too, and don’t leave your lips stripped of moisture – always a bonus!

I’ve worn these a few times and they’re okay. They didn’t last ALL day on me, instead fading considerably by 3pm but I don’t mind reapplying them once. Three dabs on each cheek leave enough colour and I find them easy to blend. For the price you can’t complain and I actually prefer them to Bobbi Brown Sheer Color Cheek Tints which are quite greasy in comparison – and also not multi-purpose.

Available in six scents, Strawberry, Raspberry, Toffee, Minty, Cherry and Frosting you can find these in Superdrug and powderrooms for £6 a pop.

    Thanks for this, your swatches are very useful as most folk have just been posting lip swatches. Both look and sound lovely!

    The raspberry would look really nice on you, it's a lovely shade!

    I'm sorry but I'm going to have to add that they're available at http://www.powderrooms.com too!
