Lip balm companies really have us in a chokehold, don’t they? Give women of color the opportunity, and they won’t just take it, they will finesse it, and turn it into pure gold. Summer Fridays better count its days because there’s a new lip balm in town—her name is EADEM, she’s sexy, and she’s coming for the throne. EADEM (which means “the same”) is a brand created by women of color Chemist Alice Lin Glover(Taiwanese American) and Marie Kouadio (French -Ivorian).

EADEM is just that girl because you can find a variety of tints that flatter every skin tone. EADEM is true inclusivity, its not just a buzzword to them, its standard. It’s hydrating formula, locks in moisture practically all day and It’s not waxy or grainy. It’s smooth and doesn’t clump up like other brands. The metal applicator helps to glide the product over your lips with ease. it’s vegan, lead free, cruelty free and dermatologist tested. Retails for $24.00 but definitely worth every penny! Recommend 10/10
Comes in a variety of tints:
BOBA BOUNCE: Rich soft brown (My favorite)
BURNT MALAI: Milky desert rose
BUTTER MOCHI: Clear balm
FIG SAUCE: Milky rose brown
BISSAP GLAZE: Rich earthy plum


I originally bought the Boba Bounce just to test it out, but now I’m hooked! I’m definitely grabbing the other shades and diving into EADEM’s skincare line too—stay tuned for my thoughts!
