Reminds me of blistex

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.

Very moisturising

I bought Carmex recently after hearing that it can help with coldsore prevention (strangely!) It does seem to be working so far. I get mild coldsores very frequently, but haven't had any since using Carmex. The only thing I really don't like is all the vaseline!! Not great for your skin, but I switch it up with my EOS balms so I should be ok.

Kissable Lips

I came across this lip balm recently and have been converted. It makes my lips tingle when I put it on in a really nice way, and it keeps my lips moisturised for hours. It doesn't get 'eaten' off or wear away, but stays on for a long time

Carmex worked for me!

I got a pottle of this in a beauty box I subscribe to, and I just love it. I like the smell, kind of methol like, and the tingly feeling when you put it on, lets you know its there and doing its repairing job. I have it beside my bed now, and every night without fail ,I put it on as part of my bedtime routine. When I went away for a weekend and left it at home, I really noticed how dry my lips felt. I now have two pottles, one in my bag, and one by my bed, for the price it is an awesome product and i'm so glad that I was introduced to it.

Tips: Have a pot in the car, in your bag or in your desk, its so handy to pop on so your lips don't dry out.

My Tube Broke

That sounds naughtier than I inteded, but about a month in to using this paticular balm, a slit appeared at the base. Now i'm not paticularly carefuly with my possessions, so is this my fault and not a design flaw, possibly, fortunately nothing has leaked out of it, and i'm not too fussed about the hygenic-ness of having a slightly open container. But some of you may be. So I am just warning what may happen. Otherwise - this is comparable to my Holy Grail Blistex. I really like the applicator on this type. I have the tub also, but the tube is definately preferred.

Tips: I'm unsure how easy it is going to be to get out when i get down to the scraps, I do like that you can tell in normal balms or tubs, this however you can't, so I just have to trust I am getting all the product out which bothers me a little.

Tingly.

I love the tingling sensation and the minty taste and scent. I think this product is very sticky so you shouldn't go overboard during application. I would suggest to only apply it on the bottom lip and smack your lips together. I like to use this as a base for my drier lipsticks. Would repurchase but it lasts so long that I don't know when I'd need to.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

Don't spend a fortune on coldsore creams this is a

I used to spend over $20 on a teeny little tube of Zervirax, No more this product is only around $8 and is every bit as good. Tingly and soothing eases the pain of coldsores as well as moisturising your lips. Apply as soon as you feel the first tingle so keep it on you at all times. I keep losing mine because my daughter and husband love to use it. Great value for money.

Tips: Keep a couple in the house and one in your bag. For coldsores apply as soon as you feel the first tingle then about 3 times per day it will reduce the time and size of the coldsore. Use it on the beach to protect your lips from drying in the sun.

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.
