Got this as a freebie so didn't really have high expectations for it. So needless to say I was pleasantly surprised! Cracked this open one day when I woke up with dry lips. Used this balm for the rest of the day and the next morning I woke up and my lips were normal again! Needless to say I did jump on healing the dryness before it got too bad - but in the past using just normal balms I have found my lips continue to become dry. This product cure the dryness right up.
It feels kind of tingly when you put it on and is quite cooling on your lips, but there is no overpowering scent or taste and it leaves your lips feeling nice and moisturised. Great moisturising lip balm!
I've had a rocky road with balms. Mostly, in fact always, I find they tend to dry my lips and I end up applying more and more and my lips become drier and drier until I give up and my lips return to normal. Not so with Carmex! Carmex went on easily and I loved how it tingled a little on the lips. Most importantly it moisturised without eventually drying - which makes me happy as now I can wear a tinted lip balm one day and although it'll make my lips a little dry the next day I apply Carmex and they're good as gold again. Carmex for the WIN!
