Good Lip Balm

Got one of these from Goodie Box and have to say they are quite good. It helps my chapped lips and I like the smell of it. It moisturises my lips well during winter time. Would recommend it

Very Good (if you can handle the smell)

This is a great product from a well respected brand. It's one of those brands like Vaseline that have been around for ages.

The lip balm in a tube is a gel like consistency and is quite heavy. The main point of contention between people will be the smell. It is very pungent because of the ingredients. There are going to be people who just can't get past that smell especially if you are very sensitive to that sort of thing. Others on the other hand love the it. It also has a cool, tingling feeling when you apply it which can be off putting for some.

If you can get past the smell it is a really good lip balm, especially in the winter for dry and damaged lips. It is very effective at repairing the damage done by the harsh cold climate.

It now comes in other flavors so I would be interested to try out some of those too.

Carmex Lip Balm

This stuff is great when you have windburn/sunburn. It seems to soothe any irritation. I also have their chapstick which I actually prefer though. Does provide a nice sheen for lips and can be worn for any occasion. It does however, have a kind of medical smell to it. Hard to describe the smell.

Does the trick

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.

Unusual... but I like it

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.

Carmex

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.

Love this-go to lip balm

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.

Carmex Lip Balm

I received this in my Goodiebox and was put off by the resemblance to Vicks Vapour Rub. However, after using it for a few days I'm officially a convert and on the cult bandwagon.

This lip balm leaves my lips so insanely soft, I don't know that I'll ever need a different lip balm. It smells like a mix of honey and menthol, which is weird but it grows on you. Even after an entire day of not using it, my lips are still really soft and moisturised because of liberal use before bed last night.

I like the way this lip balm is addicting, and the cute old-fashioned packaging. Huge recommendations from me!

Tips: Use a lip scrub first, for super-soft and smooth lips.

Finally got to try Carmex!

I finally got to try Carmex at Christmas, I bought one for my own stocking ;) ... as you do! The tube is a standard size for lip balm..nothing special. The product reminds me of paw paw balm in terms of texture. It's quite thick which is what I like.

I've heard a few say the smell is gross but I thought it smells exactly like Blistex products so if you don't like them then you probably won't like this. I didn't think it was too bad.

After using about half of the product I found it was a bit harder squeezing the product out but no biggy.
