I get those little bumps from EOS! I thought I was crazy at first, but then so many other stories popped up online about the same thing way back when.. so then I felt better that at least I wasn't crazy, lol.
My problem is I'm allergic to so many things, and for no reason in particular. Just certain fragrances and flavors/scents end up not agreeing with me, especially mint! I hate when they put mint in lippies. Which is weird, because I can eat real mint, but the mint oil or whatever they put in lip products makes my lips chap and split within a few hours. I LOVE the tarte lip surgence pencils, but 99% of the colors chap and split my lips after half a day because of the minty stuff in them. It makes me sad.

I didn't believe the hype on the fresh balms for the longest time, even though I wanted to buy one badly. Finally got a mini rose one back when Sephora had the mini duo for a bday gift, and fell in love with them instantly. They are the only "balm" that isn't a makeup gloss product, that doesn't ever bother my lips, even the ones with spf, which is amazing. SPF lip products usually chap my lips too, lol. I'm hooked now, I don't care if it is full price. If it works on me that well, I don't care what the price is! But they last me a long time, so the price works out to cheap as chapstick by the time I finish a tube.
If I had to choose, I'd say Tulip is my hands down favorite, followed by rose. Tulip is just so pretty and pink and happy, and I like that I can make it subtle or very very bright depending on how much I put on, and it leaves a nice pink stain the rest of the day.
I LOVE the sugar shine lip treatment glosses too. Started with the clear when it first came out, and then got Honey back when the new colors came out. Just last weekend I picked up Cherry and Rose. They are all beautiful! Just as great as the balms are, but lip gloss texture and shine.
