    Carmex is great! Smells like Vanilla when you open the pot, but then it smells like peppermint/medicine stuff. It's actually not that bad. It's really thick and creamy and sticky, plus it stays on...

    I love this stuff. I keep repurchasing when I run out. I don't wear it everyday because it's medicated but it's great as an overnight treatment for when my lips are really chapped. Just slather...

    My college roomate used to swear by this, but I hated it. At first I was fooled by the tingling feeling, thinking it was "working". But less than an hour later my lips would be even drier. Did...

    I bought this on a whim for barely $3 at Shoppers, really for craft purposes. But when I got home that evening, I decided to try it on my kicked-in-the-ass-by-the-weather lips and woke up the next...

    I had a case of *very* dry, chapped lips. I thought I'd dry this- I wasn't very happy with it. I had a burning sensation after applying it, and my lips felt kind of itchy, too. Won't buy this again.

    I don't understand why people get so addicted to this stuff?? It dries out my lips and tastes bad! Burts bees is HG for me :)

    Carmex tastes and smells terrible, stings weirdly, and makes my lips peel. Dreadful, awful stuff.

    Sometimes the simplest products work the best. I have literally dozens of lip balms at home (mostly 'cause I can't resist cute/luxurious/novel packaging) but it's winter in the Midwest and there's...

    This is an HG. IT's the ONLY thing that works when my lips are chapped in the winter. I use this during the day under all my lipsticks and glosses because if I don't my lips will get chapped. It...

    carmex is addictive. the good thing is that if you get cold sores, using carmex in the morning will prevent you from getting new ones.

    I have a love-hate relationship with this stuff. I hate it as an everyday lip balm, because it seems to dry out my lips very quickly, and it's quite irritating. Think about it ladies, how often...

    This is a nice drugstore lip balm. Not the greatest moisturizer, but works well enough. Most of all, it's great to have around for cold sores (which I get rarely but it happens). I'm pretty...

    When you first open this it might smell like vanilla but you soon relize that it is a different scent-I don't know how to explain it but it's a strong minty-mediciney. I'm not addicted to this or...

    Carmex is addictive for me but only because I get cold sores. If i didn't get cold sores I would stick to Kiehl's but I find that using carmex twice a day pre-empts cold sores. I haven't had one...

    I get lots of cold sores at the sides of my mouth and it really hurts to talk or move my mouth in any way. If I use carmex, it usually goes away overnight. It's not as bad as I thought it was going...
