Rosebud Perfume Co. - Minted Rose Lip Balm Tube - .5 oz

i got this rosebud perfume strawberry lip balm in the squeeze tube as a small christmas gift for a friend and for myself. it’s perfect for moisturizing dry lips and giving that classic, old-school lip balm vibe. the tube is cute and retro, with the white packaging, red cap, and strawberry details. it looks exactly like the listing photos. the squeeze tube is easy to use and toss in a bag or stocking. nothing fancy, but it’s charming in a simple, old-school way. the texture is smooth and balmy, not gritty, and it spreads easily. it gives a soft, glossy finish without feeling sticky or thick. that said, it’s more of a light moisture seal than a deep repair balm. it helps dryness temporarily but doesn’t feel super long-lasting if your lips are really cracked. it smells like classic strawberry lip balm, not candy-sweet and not overpowering. very nostalgic. the flavor is mild and fades quickly, which i actually prefer. this formula is petroleum jelly free, which some people really like. it does contain beeswax and coconut oil, so not ideal if you’re sensitive to those. it didn’t irritate my lips, but it’s definitely a basic balm rather than anything soothing or medicated. for the price, it’s fine. you’re paying a bit for the brand name and nostalgia. i think it’s worth it as a small gift or stocking stuffer, but not something i’d rely on as my main everyday lip treatment. this is a cute, classic lip balm that does what it says but nothing more. it’s perfect as a small gift, stocking stuffer, or purse balm if you like nostalgic packaging and light moisture. if you need intense hydration or lip repair, this probably won’t be enough on its own. solid, simple, and very on-brand for rosebud.

Received as a teacher appreciation gift once - and never looked back. From chapped lips and just thinking that was my luck, to never thinking twice about it ever again. This lip gloss has been amazing! I use it on my natural lips with a lip liner and it looks great. I do notice softer lips and no chapping. The strawberry flavor is really nice. It’s not thick at all and doesn’t feel “wet”. My mom said it’s too “oily” for her - but I would say it’s more of a moisturized and smooth feeling, like Carmex (a liquid rather than a paste!).

I love the chocolate smell and it really makes your lips so soft I use this every night

the best lip balm I have ever used. I was skeptical about this stuff because it was so affordable. but let me tell you that it’s worth EVERY penny. I had a problem with my lips getting so chapped they would split and peel. it was miserable. I use this nightly before bed, and 2 days later my lips are completely smooth and plump. it also smells amazing, I got the mocha rose and to me it smells like a chocolate tootsie roll lol. I’m sure the other scents are nice too. recommend to anyone interested in trying!

I would definitely recommend not putting a sticker on the entire tube. Lots of sticky on it and it’s quite irritating

When I purchased this, it was listed as the tin of Smith's Strawberry Lip Balm, so that's what I'm reviewing. I never ordered the tube, but I did notice when it shipped to me the photo was of the tube... so, sorry if this review is misplaced! Anyway... I love this lip balm. I have been using it for years. It is affordable, works well, feels and smells nice, and comes in a pretty tin that makes me feel fancy and old-fashioned. I enjoy using it. Packaging is a big deal to me... the product might not technically be better than regular ol chapstick, but it's worth it to me. I've converted a couple of my friends to this balm as well. It is pale pink in the tin but doesn't have much of a tint on lips. I have pretty pink lips naturally, though, so it might show up more on someone with a lighter lip color. It works very well under lipstick because it moisturizes but is not too slippery. I prefer a thicker lip balm at night (pure lanolin works great-- I use Dr. Lipp), but for daytime this tin is perfect to toss in your bag and apply as needed. Also works great on cuticles in a pinch! It smells like strawberries but isn't overly scented or flavored. If you accidentally eat some of it, it doesn't taste like anything. Also my boyfriend doesn't mind kissing me when I have this on... it moisturizes but doesn't get everywhere like some lip balms. The finish is moist-matte, if that makes sense- not glossy. I have several of these tins laying around-- at work, in my purse, and in my makeup bag. I will continue to repurchase!

I've been using this product for years . It moisturizes my lips and gives a little shine as well. This is only lip balm I use

This is hands down the best lip balm I have ever used. And I have used a lot. Burt's Bees used to work for me but then it stopped working and I got extremely dry peeling lips and little sores that were not cold sores around the corners of my mouth. I just assumed that it was something I was going to live with forever. But when I started using this lip balm exclusively, the little sores went away and my lips have never been more hydrated.
