This is my go to whenever I have really dried lips. It's such an affordable option and does an amazing job.
Aside from the odd scent, I love this and is my staple for winter.

I like the little tingly sensation you get when using this lip balm. It is ultra soothing, and heals cracked and chapped lips. Does not cause any irritation or break outs around your lips and the little tube lasts a long time!

This is my go-to when my lips get so dry int he winter wind that they hurt. I apply generously overnight, and while the scent is distinctly medicidnal, it's absolutely worth it.

this may not some high end, brand name lip balm but it is the best stuff for dry chapped lips! I only use this, especially in the winter when the wind and weather tarnish my lips, but I know the second I apply Carmex they will be brought back to life!!

You know what this lip balm may not be pretty, or have a fashionable scent... but it does what it's supposed to do, and does it very well. Some times it's nice to put aside fancy lip balms and get right to business with a proven winner. This is that!

I've been ranting a bit lately about how Winter is on a mission to destroy my skin. Its dry, it hurts, it looks awful, and its made me step up my skincare regime in a big way!

My lips have taken a big hit and I went through a ton of products before I remembered my old friend Carmex Original.

I don't love the packaging, its a little dated, and doesn't have visual appeal we expect from most product packaging today, but that's OK! and here's why:

It Works!!

1. A little goes a long way
It glides on smoothly and it doesn't take much.

I don't know about You but I don't want to walk around with goop covered lips, and I don't want to have to reapply every 10 minutes.

One thin application will set you up for hours of carefree moisturizing bliss!

2. Intense moisturizing properties
Its got lots of great ingredients like cocoa butter and menthol to hydrate and cool your winter ravaged lips.
The website offers lots of information about what they use and why, tips and tricks, as well as some offers and reviews.

Here's what the don't tell you: One of the key ingredients used in this product is lanolin. Lanolin is derived from sheep's wool and is used in many cosmetics and consumables. It has some incredible properties and is a key ingredient in this product. On the website it is simply listed as a natural product (which it is). If you are new to Vegan/Vegetarian culture this might not catch your attention, so do your due diligence and check out the uses and practices behind it if this is an area of concern for you.

3. Moisturizing is great, healing is better!
I love that I can use this product for a day or two and experience a total lip transformation. Dry, cracked skin is restored to baby soft virtually overnight. I love that the results are fast, effective and consistent.

By using Carmex Lip Balm you are doing your lips a favor and that winning smile will be back and brighter than ever!

My lips are so dry and I have tried numerous products. Carmex Original is one of the best products thus far that I have tried. It is easy to apply, it gives you a good strong coating that doesn't come off within the first minute of applying it. I would recommend this to anyone who has severely dry lips.

Carmex is the best brand when it comes to a balm that works on lips being destroyed by Canadian winters. I received both this balm and the moisturizing one as part of my residence package from my University four years ago, and I'm still using them today. The balms are so moisturising and creamy that they create a barrier against harsh winds. Carmex is a simple product, but super effective, super affordable, and simply amazing. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

This is probably one of the only products I NEVER run out of. Being from Canada, we have some long, dry winters that call for heavy moisturizing. This lip balm is the most moisturizing thing I have ever used. It gives me a great tingly refreshing feeling which is nice when your lips are chapped and burning. This has a way of cooling, healing, and moisturizing all at the same time. Each time I use this I feel like it's repairing my lips a little more each time! Such a nice, smooth formula and gentle "medicinal" scent which i love. Highly recommend you try this!

I got this at walmart for $1 USD each which is a great deal.
pro:
- glides on easily and smoothly
- extremely effective. I put it on before going to bed at night and my lips still feel moisturized in the morning
- can't beat the price

con:
- no security seal. It could easily be contaminated
- the smell is very unpleasant although it goes away after a little while. This is what stopped me from purchasing it after trying it out from a friend.
