Rosebud Three Layers of Lavish Lip Balm (Original/Strawberry/Minted Rose)

Rosebud Perfume Co. Three Layers of Lavish Lip Balm

Just wanted to do a quick review on this Rosebud lip balm set I got a while back on drugstore.com during their 20% off sale. My HG lip balm definitely goes to Rosebud Salve original lip balm! (I have a review post here) I think I probably have gone though almost 10 of this?! yes,that's how much I love this lip balm! When I saw this set on drugstore.com, I thought I'll like it since I like the original very much! This set includes: the original Rosebud Salve lip balm, Strawberry Lip balm, Minted Rose Lip Balm.

These lip balms come with a tin container which I think is very nice and cute! You can use it to store your lip balms or other tiny things.

Original Salve Lip Balm: very moisturizing and long lasting. It has a very light rose scent, but nothing over the top. The pink color is only shown in the tin. When applied, I considered this as "transparent" (aka: clear), it's not even "sheer". 

Strawberry Lip Balm: This didn't disappoint me! It was a very yummy strawberry scent like candy, yet not too overpowering. If you love sweet scented lip balm, you will love this! It has a thicker texture than the original and Minted Rose, which is good if your lips are extremely dry. I found that the thicker texture lip balm stay on my lips longer. Same as the Original Salve lip balm, the color only show when in the tin, it did not provide any color to your lips. Also, the strawberry scent stays for almost an hour, quite long. I like to use this during the day time as I prefer very little to no scent lip balm on my lips when I go to bed. 

Minted Rose Lip Balm: This reminds me of Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 in Natural Mint & Shea Butter which I also love for on the go during the day. The cooling sensation for this Minted Rose lip balm is not as intense/strong as the Jack Black one, but still nice enough. The cooling sensation stays on the lips for about 40 minutes or so and then disappear. This is also very moisturizing and give you very soft and supple lips. As for the color, it's clear to sheer depending on how thick you apply on your lips. If apply a thicker layer, it will give your lips some life back (if you have pale lips). I think this is perfect for warmer days or summer as it has the cooling feeling plus a very sheer color to the lips.

Overall I really love these lip balm, they work wonders and really inexpensive (I paid $12.80+tax for these three). I will definitely repurchase. Highly recommend!!!

Smith's Rosebud Salve (in a Tube) Swatch and Review

Today I'm reviewing a great lip balm from Rosebud Perfume Co.

It is Smith's Rosebud Salve (and Rosebud Salve in a Tube)

This lip balm have received all the hype, it's like something

everyone have to have in their bags. Is it really worth all the

hype? the answer is yes! It works like magic!

From the product description/detail, it said this rosebud slave 

has multi-purpose uses. It can be used to sooth dry lips and skin, 

diaper rash, blemishes, rough cuticles, and may soften rough hands. 

It can also calm and heal irritation, and soothe the sting of minor burns. 

It can also be used on dry elbows or knees to condition, and relieve dryness. 

So far I only use this on my lips and cuticles, and mainly on my lips. ha ha 

It's really moisturizing and super long-lasting, perfect for the cold winter seasons!

I like to apply this before bed, and wake up with a soft, supple and moisturizing lips.

the texture is thick (so doesn't evaporate as fast) and smooth with a glossy finish 
it has a sticky feeling when first applying it, but your body temperature will "melt"
the lip balm within a minute or so and it will leave you a glossy, non-sticky finish! 
It's rose smell is very very light, you can barely smell it which is great for 
people who's sensitive to scents, etc. (great for men too)


One downside: this lip balm is petrolatum/petroleum based so it's not that great.
but it's moisturizing power is very very good!
(Ingredients: Cotton Seed Oil and Aromol, with essential oils blended 
in a special petrolatum base.)
