I love Carmex as a lip balm! have just recently begun using and have used it everyday, it smells good, is very moisturising and has a cooling effect when you first put it on your lips which I love as I can feel it working! Its on a par with Lucas' Paw Paw ointment for me! which is a huge compliment because I loooove Lucas' Paw Paw!

Reviews
Got given this and was unsure if I even wanted it.. has an unusual smell and once applied it has a funny taste but then it kind of goes minty and is quite nice.. In terms of treating my lips its actually really good... if my lips are getting dry this will smooth them up quick! Will re-buy.
I was a little apprehensive to try this after reading mixed reviews but I must say... it isn't too bad at all. Lips feel soft for hours but I can still feel the dry skin underneath. It smells vanilla to start then as you apply it it has a minty sort of flavour. The feel... cool and tingly, non tacky and non greasy. I am still a little unsure if I like the tingly chill, but otherwise it is a good lip balm. I still prefer my trusty balm I was using prior, but would be happy to add this one to my handbag.
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.
Tips: Put this on before bed.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by this lip balm. Like many of the other reviewers, I got this for free and at the price of $5.99 it sells for I'd buy it to use again. It's really nice and smooth and lasts a long time. I like the tingly feeling that you get when you put it on. Doesn't smell great but it's nothing to put me off. I like it.
I wasn't really prepared for the tingling when I put this on since every other lip balm I've tried has never done anything like that. I personally don't really like it for that reason. When I put on a lip balm I'm trying to moisturise my lips not burn them
I love the taste/smell of this lip balm and feels very nice and tingly on my lips. The size of the tube is very good and enables me to have it available wherever I am and is very portable. Just be careful not to store it in the heat as it becomes very watery and just slips out of tube.
I first came across this in the States when I couldn't find Blistex for the life of me. A friend who is from the UK had Carmex and offered me a spare tube. It's practically identical to Blistex, if not better. You get that cooling effect on your lips when you put it on and it lasts a lot longer too.
Well this was one of those things I got and never thought much off. I used it once and thought it was spicy and tangy on my lips. But a while later I had a terrible cold and my lips were as dry and cracked so I used it again and it cleaned everything off. My lips stung for a moment or two but once it was was worn in my lips were so soft and there wasn't anymore dead skin in there.
Tips: I put it on just before my shower so when I get out and dressed ready to put my makeup my lips are already soft and clear ready to be painted.
Lipbalm is one of the things i'm changing up all the time. I never have chapped lips but I like my lips moisturised and non-sticky afterwards. Carmex in the tube made my lips to glossy which I didn't like. But I definitely do like Carmex in the pot and would recommend this one over the other two types. The thicker balm made my lips feel like they were being properly cared for which I loved.
