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.

Reviews
I found this lip balm at my local pharmacy. I had never seen it before so thought I would give it ago. It smell is not to bad not over powering. It glides on and feels cool on your lips. I noticed within a few weeks my lips were smooth and have never looked better. Such a great price for a really amazing lip balm.
Tips: Put your lip balm on just before you put your lip stick on, It adds extra shine to your lips and they will look great!.
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.
Tips: It's a good product, Does what it say's,affordable, But only apply alittle at a time otherwise you may get an oily feel residue on your lip's
So I have to give this one a thumbs down. Not only do I think Camphor is not a smell for lipbalm but it had salicylic acid in it which I am allergic to (face comes out in a pimply blister type rash). Didn't think to check if a lipbalm contained it as it's usually found in products for oily acne prone skin. Weird. Far nicer products out there!
I love this lip balm, it keeps my lips moisturised and because of the menthol in it, it feels cooling and tingly. I know some people hate that feeling, but I love it, it makes me feel really fresh, especially in the winter, when the cold air makes the feeling even more cooling. I like this for daytime use, but if I use it overnight, I wake up in the morning with a weird residue on my lips. This happens with most lip products though, so it must just be me.
I received this product a monthly subscription in a jar type. It reminds me blistex. It gives me a tingly feeling when applied. This product works to moisturize your lips. I havnt used it when Ive had sunburnt lips or wind burn. But it does moisturize, however it doesnt keep them moisturized for long. It is easy to carry around and it last long time. Ive had the product for a while so it keeps well. I would buy this item if I ran out of my normal lip balm.
I brought this product because a YouTube guru was saying it was her favourite lip balm. The scent/taste of it really reminds me of blistex. I have to say I really enjoy using this product and it's doing wonders for my dry lips
I found that this lip balm is really good when travelling in different climates, as it does a fantastic job of keeping your lips moisturised. I wouldn't use it on a day to day basis as I find stick lip balms much easier to use. Other than that its a great product.
I really like this product, the squeezy tube is really easy to chuck in your bag, it doesn't melt on hot days and doesn't go super hard on cold days. it contains menthol which provides a nice tingly feeling once applied I use this constantly during the day as I work in an office environment with air-con. it smells sweet but isn't a overly nice smelling product but doesn't smell bad either. it provides shine on the lips which is good. not really impressed that it contains petroleum but I have still been using it anyway.
I tried the cherry version of this lip balm and found that alongside it being a revolting tasting lip balm that some how snuck onto my tongue without my knowledge, it also stung my lips horribly. I have sensitive lips and only use lip balms that I know don't react with me, I thought i'd give this one a go, but now it's just sulking in my bathroom never to be used again. DON'T use this this lip balm if you occasionally get a reaction to some products OR if you just don't fancy a horrible tasting balm!
Tips: Try using Lucas' papaw ointment instead, it's natural so doesn't react with my lips, and its got an average taste.
