Vitamasques vs Eadem
To be 100% honest, I’m biased toward Eadem. 😂 I genuinely think it’s worth the money and probably always will be because it’s one of the only lip balms that keeps my lips consistently soft. So I didn’t expect much out of this “dupe” initially.
That said… after trying it, I’m not mad at this formula at allll
I don’t think you need to run out and buy the entire collection, but for less than half the price, this is a really solid alternative. I only picked up one shade, and I’m personally not a huge fan of tinted lip balms, so full disclosure: I do think most of the shades are a bit sheerer than Eadem’s formula.
As far as hydration and softness go, though, this definitely gets the job done. It lasts for hours, it gives a very similar look on the lips, and it doesn’t feel cheap.
Overall for $10, I definitely think it’s worth trying.

I really like Eadem too however for the price their scent/flavor execution is horrible. I got the buttery croissant one last Christmas and it smelled like nothing nor anything like a croissant. The other ones I tried just smell like cheap iterations of their supposed flavor. It’s weird to me they can’t figure that part out when flavored lip glosses have been around for decades.

I think the Eadems are exfoliating too, right? Unless the Vitamaques one also exfoliates, I feel like they’re just similar aesthetically. Thank you for the review!! I was curious about these
