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.
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.
