Go to lip balm
Price range: They say it's $3-8. I bought the Smith's Rosebud Salve online for $3.89, the usual price of this Rosebud Salve would be $6 at Sephora or more at Anthropologie. Many years ago, my cousin had been using this Rosebud Salve as her lip balm and I was a bit turned off by anything rose, so I didn't really have a good first impression. I don't think I even smelt it before...maybe had seen ...read morethe rosey pink hue of the lip balm...but yeah, I knew of its existence. Recently, I had been looking for something to use for my nail cuticles because the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle cream wasn't quite working for me. I did my research and learned that Smith's Rosebud Salve is a multi-purpose product. Then I saw on Sephora's website, that Smith's not only had the original Rosebud Salve, they also had a Strawberry flavor and a Mint flavor. Then I found a tin that had all three of those flavors in a tin box for $11.19 (on sale) and I had to get it and try it out. I read about the salve and how you can use it for your dry nail cuticles, as a lip moisturizer, face moisturizer, blemishes, as a hair pomade to smooth out frizzes and etc. It works pretty good. I used to remove make up last night and it worked pretty well. I slather a thin layer on my face and take a cotton ball to remove the make up and it works. I found that once the salve had absorbed into the skin, it makes my skin feel so supple and soft. Very hydrated and my skin felt good. The PMS pimples I had also healed and lost the zit pain. Some people might not like using their fingers to use the salve, and I have small make up spatulas to use it. But if I'm using it as a lip balm alone, I wouldn't care if I used my fingers. I would just use my pinky finger or ring finger on my left hand because those fingers don't get used as often. Yes, I'm right handed. Anyways, I knew I would like the salve, so I bought the 3 Layer Lavish tin and a loner Smith Salve. I love how small and compact the tin container is. It actually has more product than Nivea Lip Butter lip balm as the Smith Rosebud Salve has a deeper pot than the Nivea one. I own both products and love both. Yeah, sometimes it is hard to open if your hands has something on it. Scent - The scent is very soft and not overwhelming as I had first thought it might be, but when I opened it and smelt it, it's not a strong scent. I like that it absorbs into your skin after a couple of minutes of wearing it on your lips or on your skin and it makes your skin feel super soft. It's no wonder it is a cult favorite. It is well worth the hype. I can't wait to try the other flavors. I will wait to use it all and most definitely repurchase it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

aromatherapy
I first heard about this in a list of top-rated lip balms, and then when I saw it in Sephora I thought it was so charmingly retro I had to get it. It looked like something my grandmother would have used. I decided I don't like to use it on my lips because of the taste, but I've discovered it's a wonderful product to massage into my hands and feet at the end of a long, tiring day, when I've collaps...read moreed in front of the TV. My hands and feet end up wonderfully moisturized, and the light rosebud fragrance is good for the soul.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Classic!
I bought this on a whimp on a recent vacation because silly me had forgotten my Vaseline, which I used on my really dry skin (it was winter). The clerk told me it was better than Vaseline, and had a plesent scent. After spending $ on it, I tried it. Opening the tin, I was plesently suprised to smell it, it smelled wonderful! Then---the lips. It smoothed and softened my dry, chapped lips, moiusturi...read morezing them. And it looked like a very subtle, pink gloss, which was beautiful with my fair skin. Overall, this is a fabulous product. No wonder why its been so popular all these years! I prefer the tin over the tube, just because it's easier to use other places with the tin. Will reccomend!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not loving the scent
This product is quaintly packaged and appears adorable. The smooth application and long lasting moisture makes this product worth purchasing. My winter lips are loving their new smooth appearance. However, I am not loving the scent. It reminds me more of a soap or floral perfume more than a salve/balm, and is not muted. I prefer my lip products to have a sweet smell or none at all.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Awesome Lip Balm
I love using this on cuts and scrapes(since I'm a clumsy oaf)but also on my lips. I find that is so good at locking in moisture and forming a barrier to the elements that it actually has a slight plumping effect on my lips. I took off two stars because 1)It has no spf and 2)It is in a tine which is a bit unhygienic. Other than that it's great. You get a ton for your money and it's cheap to begin ...read morewith. It took me a year to go through it with near constant use. This isn't sticky at all which I really look for in a lip balm. It's very light and comfortable to wear. It now comes in a squeeze tube too so I really have no reservations in point number 2 anymore. My husband surprised me with a tube and I carry it with me everywhere! Definitely give this one a go. It's one of the best!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

An old standby
My medicine cabinet staple. I use it to moisturize my lips, my cuticles, rough patches, and to take off stubborn makeup smudges. My tip is to take a q-tip, roll it in a little rosebud salve, rub it along makeup smudges or leftover mascara under your eyes after washing your face and then wipe with the clean side of the q-tip, et voila! Smudges are gone with no irritation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful

A Gem
Is this one of the best secrets of the beauty business? This ordainary little tin-it almost looks like a container of cough drops-contains one of the best lip salves/glossses around. I had heard it came in 2 or 3 colors-I only find the one but I use it as a conditioner and a gloss over and/or under lipstick so that is fine. It has a little taste-but not too sweet or offensive. I just cannot ke...read moreep enought of this stuff in the house-great Xmas stocking suffer too.

BEST value for a lip balm!
i swear--you cannot find a product better than this. it's inexpensive, has a fraction of ingredients compared to other lip balms, the tin is cute and easy to throw in your purse, and it lasts FOREVER! i use mine almost everyday and it's been a year already, i still have a lot of it left. it doesn't leave behind a gross or sticky film. i'm thrilled with this product! i buy the strawberry version as well. you won't be dissapointed:)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
