These come in a lot of flavors. The two I purchased were the Summer Fruit one, and the Lemon one with SPF 15 in it. Other flavors include raspberry pomegranate, mint, honeydew, strawberry sorbet, and medicated tangerine. I do notice that a regular one with no medication or SPF, such as the Summer Fruit one I have, has a completely different texture than a lip balm with an added ingredient in it such as the Lemon one that I have. The Lemon one with SPF 15 has a rougher, almost grainy or scruffy, texture. It glides just as easily and stays on just as long as a regular one, but it does have a really different feel to it. It's also differently colored. It seems to be sort of translucent and duller, while the Summer Fruit one is very opaquely cream-colored. The Summer Fruit one is also visibly smoother when you're looking at the actual sphere.
These do provide quite sufficient moisture, but if you need intense moisture these probably aren't going to cut it. I would label these lip balms more as constant maintenance, because they do a good job at keeping your lips healthy and moisturized if you're consistently applying it to slightly dry to normal skin.
The Lemon one smells like an actual lemon. It doesn't smell sweet, if anything, tangy. And the Summer Fruit one, according to EOS, is supposed to smell like blueberry, strawberry, and peach. I think the peach and blueberry are especially prominent.
Aside from the technical stuff I appreciate their unique design. They're easy to store in a bag, but not in your pocket because of their circular design. Each one of these are under $5, so these have great value and are pretty fun to collect.
