Carmex Lip Balm

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!

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 was a little apprehensive to try this after reading mixed reviews but I must say... it isn't too bad at all. Lips feel soft for hours but I can still feel the dry skin underneath. It smells vanilla to start then as you apply it it has a minty sort of flavour. The feel... cool and tingly, non tacky and non greasy. I am still a little unsure if I like the tingly chill, but otherwise it is a good lip balm. I still prefer my trusty balm I was using prior, but would be happy to add this one to my handbag.

Lipbalm is one of the things i'm changing up all the time. I never have chapped lips but I like my lips moisturised and non-sticky afterwards. Carmex in the tube made my lips to glossy which I didn't like. But I definitely do like Carmex in the pot and would recommend this one over the other two types. The thicker balm made my lips feel like they were being properly cared for which I loved.

My hubby got this from USA I am in love with this product one work amazing, totally worth trying.helps making lips smoother, great product

Delicious caramel flavour with a touch of eucalyptus. It's a great moisturiser and handy pack size. It's available in a lot of places. I have one at work, at home and in my purse. Happy days

Carmex is my second fiddle to Blistex - sometimes mainly in winter my lips turn to custard and i need something really thick and penetrating and carmex does the trick for me. the only downside for this for me is the smell its a bit like 8hour cream and blistex mixed but i guess they all smell like that. definately a great lip conditioner

I have this in the little jar and think its really cute and compact. I love the bright yellow they have used as it stands out against some of the other lip balms out there on the market. So, my first impression of this is that I love the texture, not too thick and not too thin. I love the scent/fragrance of this, as it reminds me of Vicks Vapour Rub due to the menthol ingredient in it. However, after I've had it on for awhile though, it starts to feel a bit gluggy, although it doesn't look gluggy, it feels like it is, I guess its similar to Vaseline. It definitely leaves your lips nice and moisturised, so no complaints there, for me, but I've given it 4 stars due to the texture of it after its been on awhile. Other than that I really like it.

I love this lip balm, it keeps my lips moisturised and because of the menthol in it, it feels cooling and tingly. I know some people hate that feeling, but I love it, it makes me feel really fresh, especially in the winter, when the cold air makes the feeling even more cooling. I like this for daytime use, but if I use it overnight, I wake up in the morning with a weird residue on my lips. This happens with most lip products though, so it must just be me.
