Carmex Lip Balm

Advantages: heals sore lips
Disadvantages: not available in Czech rep. so I have to import

Carmex Lip Balm I have started to use Carmex lipbalm on a friend's recommendation and I was surprised to see and feel how well it worked! I've always suffered of dried and cracky lips particularly in winter and even if I always was equipped with lip balms and spent quite some money on it as I preferred stuff like Labello, it never really had a long-term effect. Neutrogena wasn't all bad either, but I have to say Carmex was where the revolution in lip care has come. Package Carmex comes in a form of a lipstick, a little jar and a squeezable tube. The jars were introduced already back in 1937! All containers are in red+yellow and black which remind me of beeswax somehow. It gives impression of sth natural and good for your health. Carmex original was lately accompanied by strawberry and cherry version - those I didn ...

Review of Carmex Lip Balm

Excellent lip balm in a neat little pot

Advantages: Works well, convenient to carry
Disadvantages: None for me

As you may already know from my previous reviews I always use lip balm. I just cannot stand the sensation of my lips feeling dry and use the balms all year round to combat the dryness caused by the sun and wind. There are little pots and tubes all over the place here in the cottage - in drawers, in my handbag, next to the bed - you name it! I have tried lots of different lip balms and Dave usually buys me a variety as stocking fillers at Christmas so I thought I had tried most of the decent ones, but whilst in Tesco last week I found another one. I was looking to see if any of my favourites were on special offer and a gentleman reached across me to pick up a pot of Carmex. He turned to me and told me that it was brilliant and the only thing that worked for him, so I decided to give it a try. To be fair I had read various good ...

Review of Carmex Lip Balm Pot

Mmm Yummy! Carmex Cherry Lip Balm

Advantages: Makes lips soft, lasts for a long time, SPF 15 and easy to find in your bag!
Disadvantages: Fortunately for Carmex I can't think of any...Perhaps not good if you don't like a light menthol?

menthol, camphor and beeswax which leave the tingling sensation) which is pleasant - I think it's this that encourages the rosy-ness. You immediately feel the moisturising side of the balm going to work - so it's great for being out in the sun, especially given that it's SPF 15. Likewise, I imagine it's good for relief of chapped lips in the windy, wintery weather. We'll see when that rolls around, but I'm pretty confident about that. A small amount gives the lips a nice healthy completely natural look, but a heavier application would show up glossy, so it depends on what kind of look you prefer. When I say 'glossy' though, we're not talking about the shiny wet look kind, just a muted gloss - after all it is a balm. Luckily this lip balm is long lasting - I apply once in the morning and sometimes once at lunch if I'm going out and I feel ...
