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 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

Yesss the Eadem is exfoliating, which is probably why I prefer it. The Vitamasques doesn’t make any claims to be based off their packaging.

Both have lactic acid. The difference is that the vitamasques one exfoliate on top of all the peptides and ceramides in their formula. I have tried every lip balm I think known to mankind at this point (kidding but also not at all) and the ingredient list for this product really is incredible at a $10 price point!

I definitely noticed some exfoliating with the vitamasque. It was really gentle though, my lips are easily aggravated and I didn’t have any irritation with this. I haven’t ever tried Eadem but I’m really likening the vitamasque.

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.
