Hi Readers!
After reviewing Carmex Lip Balm Original flavour (jar container), I admit I was totally in love and hooked with this lip balm. Aside from helping to moisturise and relieve dry chopped lips, it is also very affordable and no wonder why there're so many users kept on buying and using Carmex.
About Carmex:
Suffering from dry, chapped lips, Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in the USA in the early 1930's. The mixture was carefully hand poured into small glass jars which Alfred would sell to pharmacists from the boot of his car. Now available with sunscreen, Carmex comes in squeeze tubes and click sticks-as well as in Alfred's original little jar. The Woelbing family still runs the business today! Carmex products are tested on family member-not on animals.
Pro(s)What I like:
Recommendation:
Yes I recommend Carmex but among the Carmex lip balms, I like most the one in the jar and tube container -I like how my lips moisturized. If your looking for a lip balm with SPF then choose the one in Click Stick. It's not tinted because of that, not only ladies but men can also use this (^_^).
I already made my review on Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in jar container you can read it here. |

Con(s) What I don't like:
- I don't know if it's just me but after applying this on my lips it became a little dry :( . It felt like I applied a matte lipstick (less the color though!)

- I can't find the expiration date.

Had the same experience with lipbalms too, not just this lipbalm. My lips get dry instead of getting moisturized.
ReplyDeleteI stop using lipbalm altogether except for alba terra tints, which is a tinted one, when I need to put color on my lips.
Yes, I don't know what happen. My lips got dry when I used the click stick it might be because of some ingredient (like SPF). When I used the one with jar and in tube (which doesn't have SPF) I don't experience adverse reaction. Where did you buy Alba Terra?
DeleteHaven't tried the one in a tub yet. I like the one sa tube. Kaso I must remind myself not to lick my lips once it's on. :))
ReplyDeleteHi Janine thanks for the comment (^_^) Oo nga me too I tried not to lick my lips kaso di naman natin maiwasan (^_^) Good day
DeleteI love Carmex in tube too or plain ol' Petroleum Jelly as cheap alternative.
