You want a Bargain??

by Shopping Diva on March 28th, 2006

Smith's Rosebud Salve - OriginalThen you are going to love this… well most of it anyway. I will explain my reservations in a couple of minutes. But, I have to say, that this has to be the best lip balm I have ever used.
It comes in a tiny little canister that can easily be tossed into your handbag or on do as I do and keep it handy on the dresser. I use it every night before climbing into bed.

Pros

-You get a lot for your money. This little canister costs only $5.00 and you will likely toss it before you run out.
- The lip balm is incredibly silky. With the winter we have had, my lips haven’t found the need to complain and that is saying something!

Cons

-The taste gets a little getting used to, but I really don’t mind it at all anymore. So, is this a pro or a con??
-You have to put your fingers into the container. This is the part I hate. I wish it could be packaged in a tube so that you couldn’t actually touch the product. Bacteria… yuk!

*And just in case you don’t care for the flavor of roses… apparently it’s being formulated with a strawberry flavor as well!

    This Rosebud Salve is a great product. I keep it by my bed to use on my lips, but it’s also great if you have very dry hands. It makes a great cuticle cream to use before bed. I agree with you though, it would be great if it came in a tube to reduce the bacteria risk.

    I love this product and have used in for a couple of years now.

    Ironically, I don’t usually use it as a lip balm. Instead, I use it as a cuticle cream, on my hands and feet, elbows, and I have even used it as a hair product when I’ve been desperate.

    Definitely going to try it on the cuticles. They could use the help… the hair?? You have me curious!

    I was traveling and had forgotten some hair wax to hold down some of my flyaways. I grabbed some Rosebud Salve, rubbed it in my palms to emulsify a bit, and then rubbed it over the ends of my hair. Worked like a charm, and didn’t weigh down my hair.
