Carmex Lip Balm

This balm is wonderfully moisturising and I love the tingly, cooling feeling it gives my lips. The bright tube makes it super easy to locate in my abyss of a handbag and applying it is a dream as it's in a basic squeeze tube which also means no lids popping off in my bag- HOORAY! The texture is very thick and moisturising so I prefer to use it at night before bed and as soon as I wake up in the morning mostly as a way to get my lips ready for whatever I put on them that day. As mentioned, it is extremely thick so it doesn't just absorb into your lips like your average Babylips, or Chapstick might so keep that in mind before buying it.

The Carmex Lip Balm is a super nourishing, softening balm. I really like this product, although for several reasons I don't think I will be purchasing again.

Firstly, the packaging isn't that appealing. I'm a girly girl at heart, and for me bright red on bright yellow just doesn't quite do it. I also received the jar-style packaging of this product, and I naturally don't really like lip balms in jars.

The lip balm itself has a really nice consistency, however, and immediately feels nourishing and nurturing on your lips. It does, however, smell VERY strongly of menthol product! Was not expecting that. It also had a tingly effect on my lips, causing them to plump out considerably.

Other than that, however, this balm is long lasting and definitely helps to soften up my lips when I apply it overnight.

Glad to read the reviews below which say they also had the tingling feeling - thought it was just me when I gave some to a friend who said they didn't feel anything! Despite the tingling, which isn't a bad feeling, I like the Carmex Lip Balm which is mositurising and the methanol smell is refreshing. However, I can't use this when at night because the tingling feeling keeps me awake - only bad thing about this product (Plus the packaging is a bit outrageous for me).

I got this the other day as I was out walking and my lip's got so dry and sore from the wind I had to try this as It was on special aswell as because I've read such good reviews on here about it. I got the one In a stick, My first Impression was I enjoyed the smell, I can't really describe It but I liked It. The price was reasonable at $4.00. As soon as i applied it on my lip's the stinging and dryness instantly disapeared after first use, which impressed me hugely. The downfall for me with this product though is that it's pretty much vasaline made for your lip's. I found It did'nt absorb into my lip's but just sat ontop on the skin. It also contains petroltum, So that made me get put off by that alittle bit. To me It's pretty much just vasoline in a stick. I will use it though when my lip's are shockling dry and sore from windburn.

I hadn't ever heard of this brand and wouldn't have ever used it as I tend to stick with brands I know or ones that are recommended to me.

I was lucky enough to receive this as a freebie and it reminded me a little of Blistex's lip balms - that tingly sensation.

I'm not overwhelmed by the scent but I really love that tingling sensation and I do feel like it moisutrises and smoothes out my lips. I carry this in my handbag at all times and I will be repurchasing this again even though I don't like the smell.

I received a tub of this balm in a subscription box a while ago. I tried it out when I first got it but I found the taste and smell quite unpleasant so I didn't use it again. A few weeks ago I had a cold and my lips were so dry and gross and I remembered that I had this so I pulled it out of my collection to use again.

This is a heavily scented product, not by perfume but just the natural smell of the ingredients. It reminds me a little bit of the vicks smell with a slight vanilla note. It's not very appealing to want to put on your lips but if you can get past the smell, it really does work wonders. I applied this at night before I went to bed with my gross lips and woke up to nice moisturized, soft lips again. I also used some on my four year old sons lips and sore cheeks from being sick and his face looked so much better the next Day!

This does have an instant cooling effect when you apply it. Its different but feels nice. There's a bit of a taste when you lick your lips so I prefer to use this as my bedtime lip balm rather than during the day when I will taste it.

I like that this comes in a few different forms as not everyone likes applying lip products with fingers. I would buy this, I think I would go for the stick version for next time.

I've always had issues with my lips being cracked, dry, sore and chapped until I discovered this product. Seriously can't rave about this product enough. It feels wonderful. Does everything a lip balm should do and I wouldn't be without it. Very reasonably priced and lasts for ages too. I always keep one in my handbag.

This product is awesome I originally bought it for my partner who had a coldsore cause someone recommend it for that an we all have been using it ever since its such a good all round product

Whilst I carry this product on in my handbag I must admit that I prefer the cherry Carmex by far. I find this product feels a little heavy and greasy when I put it on. I do however love Carmex and it does work to relieve rough, dry and chapped lips. I would love it if I could get the Cherry Carmex in the tube as I find the tub gets sand, dust and fluff stuck in the lid where the tube is much better. The tube also holds more.

This is probably one of least favourite lip balms. Personally, I find it makes my lips almost too glossy and plumped up and I already have very full lips so just end up looking a bit silly. It has a horrible smell - I can literally smell it a mile off. Personally I prefer balms with a bit more of a subtle smell.. And it is just sooo sticky. However, when I do manage to leave it on long enough, it does really moisturise dry, sore, cracked lips so in that sense, it's a good product. Oh, and the sensation I also find really burn-y. It's a very strong tingle; way more so than the blistex balms which have a subtle tingle for a few minutes. This one just keeps tingling! Sorry - not a very nice review, but got to have a range of opinions right? And this product is just not for me!
