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.
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.
