Carmex Lip Balm

Got this as a freebie so didn't really have high expectations for it. So needless to say I was pleasantly surprised! Cracked this open one day when I woke up with dry lips. Used this balm for the rest of the day and the next morning I woke up and my lips were normal again! Needless to say I did jump on healing the dryness before it got too bad - but in the past using just normal balms I have found my lips continue to become dry. This product cure the dryness right up.

It feels kind of tingly when you put it on and is quite cooling on your lips, but there is no overpowering scent or taste and it leaves your lips feeling nice and moisturised. Great moisturising lip balm!

Everybody who has tried Carmex's original flavoured lip balm (or any in their range, for that matter) can tell you that feeling that it gives you on your lips is immensely satisfying. I love it so much that I sometimes put it on my lips even though my lips may not be needing of it. When you apply it on your lips and leave it for a few seconds, you will notice that it starts to feel fizzy/minty and cold on your lips. Feels really good! Apart from the feeling, Carmex moisturizes very well. The product comes in a small tube which you can screw open the lid, push out the product and take it with your finger (or just rub the tube on your lips if that takes your fancy) and lather it all over them lips!

It is quite inexpensive ($4-$6 from Asos.com - watch out for the frequent sales!) and has the most delicious, sweet scent! Definitely a repurchasing item for me. A classic.

This lip balm is extremely moisturizing but the con is: your lips are thirsty for more! Though I wouldn't say that my lips dehydrated extremely fast after the product was fast, it just felt like it was dry even though it wasn't. This obviously drew me to get the lip balm out again and apply it on my lips - which my lips thanked and drank!

I have the tube version of this and I am currently using it every night before I go to sleep. I have a large number of lip balms, all for different purposes, and this is one of the best to put on before you go to sleep.

The formula is quite thick, but rubs into your lips easily. It is not a waxy formualtion like some stick lip balms can be, and instead is more of a slippery texture on the lips.

I find it very hydrating, and often when I wake up I still have some residue on my lips - I do tend to apply generously however. I really enjoy the tingling sensation of this as well - it does not last long though. The real test of this lip balm will come in winter when my poor lips are chapped beyond recognition - but I have no doubts Carmex will be up to the task.

I had forgotten all about this brand until I seen it on here I used to use it as a teen but haven’t seen it around for a good few years unfortunately,it’s a little on the pricey side for the size of the tube but goes on nice and your lips feel moisturised you don’t need to apply much as it spreads easily so it does last a little while,also easy to find in the depths of your handbag

I love a good lip balm. Always have them around the house and in my handbag. This Carmex balm smells great and feels really moisturizing on your lips. I just don’t like the packaging. The rounded tip can become quite oily and sticky and I found I had to clean the tip off often. Also once you’ve reached the end of the tube there is a lot of product left inside but you can’t squeeze it out. Had to cut the tube to scrape out the remaining product and place in a separate container to apply. I did find this product great for applying before lip stains as it smoothed them out nicely.

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.

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.

This product is awesome I originally bought it for my partner who had a coldsore cause someone recommend it for that an we all have been using it ever since its such a good all round product

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.

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.
