Carmex Lip Balm

Carmex has been my absolute lifeline since discovering it in the states. I was one of those $2 shop lip gloss kids at intermediate, so my lips are pretty ruined from that even after all these years - constant chapping (amplified by inability to breathe through my nose). Carmex relieves this quickly, smells great, and makes my lips look plump and supple. Its great value as well and easy to find at chemists - though I stocked up in the States recently, hope my local gets the 3 packs in soon! I have one in my bag, one next to my bed and one next to the couch.... my Carmex is never far away!!

I have tried this a couple of times over the years and decided to give it another whirl when I had really dry chapped lips recently.

First off, when you put it on it has a tingle that reminds me of Vicks Vapour Rub. It also does quite well in it's capacity as a lip protectant and has kept my lips feeling moisturized and protected in an air-conditioned building where other lip balms were just drying me out.

The packaging isn't sexy looking but the squeeze tube is quite good for hygiene.

I tend towards more natural lip balms as a personal preference, but after rediscovering this one, I will definitely keep it in mind for when all other lip balms have failed.

This is my go to lip balm but at around $8 i feel like it's a little pricey, but it does last a long time. As soon as you put it on you can feel a warm feeling, like vicks vapour rub but it's not bad. It instantly heals my dry chapped lips which is why i keep using it. My husband as even started using it and have recommended it to family and friends.

Love Carmex products and have been using their lip balms for years. They're very effective and feel and smell great (especially their watermelon version!). Simple packaging which I can easily carry around in my purse and keep at my desk. I can happily say I have finished several of these lip balms and keep using them. Heals my lips very well and keeps them soft especially when they start getting dry during winter. I recently started using the jar version as well and love it, too!

This is really good lip stuff. If you have used it you will know what I mean by the tingle!!! I have tried it in the tub and the tube. When you have sore lips it soothes them if they are bad that’s when you feel the tingle. Really good stuff

This is a classic for a reason! I have and would use this time and time again. This is perfect for keeping your lips in good condition and an absolute essential if you like wearing lipstick. It’s particularly good during that awkward change of season period when your body is still adjusting to the new season. I personally prefer the tub as I find it nicer to apply that way and I find it easier to control how much I’m using as you only need a really small amount.

This lip balm is the balm that all others wish they could be. I have used this on and off and it is up there with the best. I have no doubt. It makes your lips feel instantly great. The smell is lovely and it tastes ok too, if you happen to get a little in your mouth! It lasts forever and is great for any sporting activity. I especially like to take it skiing.

I love the Carmex lip balm, especially the Click-stick in Strawberry flavour. It has such a nice cool and healing sensation when applied to the lips and I love the addition of salicylic acid which has a lovely effect in gently exfoliating the lips. For this reason, I love using this lip balm as an overnight lip sleeping mask in place of my Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask on some nights and waking up in the morning to soft, smooth and plump lips! I love the convenience of the click-stick but would like to try the tube formula in the pineapple mint flavour :)

Out of all the lip balms I've ever tried this is the one I go back to time and time again.

I like the little pot it comes in, I like how it makes my lips tingle but not in an irritated way, I like that is moisturises my lips beautifully and that ten minutes later I don't have to reapply.

This for me is the gold standard balm and I can't recommend it highly enough.

I bought this lip balm on a whim when I wanted something affordable but looked like it would still work to heal my lips that were cut, basically bleeding, cracked and just downright painful. I applied it as soon as I got home and the next morning I woke up and the cut was gone and there was no cracks or dry lips! I was SOLD. I haven't had a lip balm that works so quickly or without me having to reapply it a few times. I am now using this religiously every day especially before/after makeup use
