Yes well I used it a couple times when it arrived my partner saw me and asked to use it, I've not seen it since lol. I just told him he had to help write the review as he stole it so I asked him the important questions. Smells nice, lasts couple hours, good stuff, so there you go his review. I did like the consistency when applying and the smell not too strong and felt it really hydrated my lips when I got to use it lol

Tips: Don't leave it lying around, it will be stolen
I wanted to love this lip balm but its really not for me. As soon as I put this on my lips they were extremely tingly, in an uncomfortable way. Not sure if this lip balm is supposed to have this effect or not? Glad this is a freebie, will pass this onto my partner who hopefully will like it.
This product has both good and bad qualities. Firstly I like the texture and the thick consistency and application is smooth. I like the initial slight vanilla scent, but then it changes and the taste and smell make me feel sick. It leaves my lips soft for a while which is nice and the slight tingle from the menthol is not unpleasant, I also like that the tube is bright yellow and red so its hard to loose in my bag. I just find the smell and taste that I get in my mouth when I use this really unpleasant.
I got this free from the website and am going to give it an honest review. I hated it! I put a little bit on my lips and they stung for ages, even got my eyes watering! Way too strong for me and not at all what I am looking for in a lip balm!
If you are not a fan of tingly mentholated type products or medicinal smelling products than this is definitely not for you. However it is a great balm for repairing damaged skin - have been spending alot of time outside in the sun lately and my lips were peeling, dry and flaking so badly despite scrubbing and wearing lipbalm with spf all day - one night of wearing this and they were fixed.
Tips: Doesn't contain a sunscreen so be aware of that however its great for repairing sun-ravaged lips.
I had heard a lot about this product, but frankly I was disappointed by it. Menthol and Camphor are both known drying ingredients, which does the exact opposite of a lip balm. It seems like Carmex are trying to ensure a constant market for their product by drying out people's lips as they try to use it. I liked the balm's texture, and didn't mind the smell some people have described, but the inclusion of menthol has totally ruined it.
I got this free from a website like many of other girls on BR, At first it gave a very weird tingly feeling which i didn't like, it kinda burned my lips to be honest but after i tried it around 5 more times it didn't seem to hurt my lips so much. It has really helped my cracked/peeling lips now i use it daily!!
Tips: try it a few times before you decide its not your thing :)
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).
This balm is nice, it goes on well and has a nice almost honey taste to it. My lips aren't that bad this time of the year but the balm kept them moist and over the course of the last 2 weeks I have not suffered from dry lips at all.
Tips: Don't leave it in a warm car, my mistake as when I went to put on the heat had made the balm a bit more liquid, leaving me with heaps at a time.
This stuff is amazing!! Ive used it 4 times and it moisturises my lips, has a nice smell, leaves your lips feeling more repaired, healthy looking with a little bit of shine.
Tips: Great for those hot days, or windy days where you need a little moisture on the lips
