Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve 0.8 oz

 
our price: $5.59
in stock

Is it as good as they claim? There's no doubt. Hard-to-find Rosebud Salve is considered the gold-standard of lip balms -- even jaded Beauty Editors (we're just one example) go crazy for it. Soft, supple, and slightly rose-scented lips result with every use.

I've wanted to try this product for a loooooong time, and finally just saw it again on here, so I ordered it. I know... very exciting tale. Anyway, gorgeous tin; the balm smells great, if you like roses, that is (I do); and then I go to use it. I don't know about you, but I don't like to stick my fingers into my balms unless it's some "balm emergency". I'll use my lips until I can no longer get at it that way. So I did so with this product, very lightly, and ended up with goop EVERYWHERE. This stuff is SOFT and SMOOSHY beyond belief. What a mess. But now I know. APPROACH WITH CAUTION!!! Store this somewhere cool. It's worth the extra measures because it is awesome. There's a reason people have been buying it since 1892! It's perfection in a pretty tin. It's hyper-lightweight, but stays on. It's flavor/scent are very light, but soooooo nice. And chapping? Buh bye... in ONE use. How's that? Granted, it was light chapping, but still...
This is definitely a buy-again. Even with the smoosh-factor. :)

I was so excited to get this because (like a fool) I wanted to use what the stars use. So lame! This product smells nice but tastes like glycerin. I have very dry lips and this did not penetrate or heal. In fact it felt like my lips were getting drier the more I used it! This might be better for someone who does not have sensitive lips. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because I use it on my cuticles (though it does leave my hands oily). I prefer Sally Hansen Lip Butter hands down!

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve, .8 oz:

This is my favorite thing to keep in my bag! You can use it on dry skin anywhere on your body, as an eye makeup remover, on blemishes, and of course as a great lip balm. Nice light rose scent and pretty color. One tin lasts forever, too.

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve, .8 oz:

The product is good... wish it had sunscreen in it (for lips) so I could wear it more often. I would not recommend this product as it is packaged (in a small tin) for people who have weak hands, arthritis, wrist or repetitive injuries, etc. Sometimes it is easy to open and sometimes it isn't, and I have a very strong grip. Also, someone with average to large size hands (or thick fingers) may have trouble opening this tin or getting a good grip on it to open it.

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve, .8 oz:

This is the best lip stuff ever! I really only use it on my lips, but I'm sure it's great wherever you would use it. The best part is it smells like the old Ban De Soleil orange suntan lotion. LOVE IT!

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve, .8 oz:

This is an amazing salve. We use it on dry lips, cracked cuticles and chapped hands and faces. A little goes a long way, and the scent is light, not overpowering. My kids will let me use it on their lips and hands because it does not sting, and no strong smell or taste! My tins have opened easily with small twist and lift motion.

Can't live without my rosebud. Best all around salve-- use it also when I have dry patches from winter. Original flavor is best. I have tried the other flavors and they are waxier-- not as smooth. Don't leave Rosebud in the hot car during the summer!

I keep a tin in at home, in my purse and in my desk drawer at work! I put it on hives, dry skin and my lips. I put it on my face at the first sign of a blemish-the blemish disappears!

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve, .8 oz:

I had severely dry (red, flaky, cracking, painful) skin appear on my hands a few months ago. I tried every lotion I could get my hands on, but nothing helped the dryness and only managed to make my skin burn and sting. My mom overheard a woman in the store raving about Rosebud Salve and picked me up a tin. It's the only thing that helped heal my skin. I would normally use it as a lip balm, but if you have a severely dry patch, try it out.
