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!

        I read about Rosebud Salve in a Family Circle magazine and decided to try it. I usually prefer a tube for my lips but this little can is just right. Fits in a pocket, has a simple design, and the contents work like a charm. I live in Maine which can be very dry in the winter. Rosebud really helps everything thing that chaps and cracks! Try it!!

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

            I had heard about Smith's Rosebud balm for a long time and found it listed in the "cult favorites" section on [@]. This balm lived up to the hype. At first I wasn't sure that I liked the scent as I'd never had a lip balm that smelled more like a floral, but I quickly got over it. My first tub lasted for YEARS and now that I'm back on online looking for a replacement I see it comes in additional scents/flavors I'm going to give one of them a try for variety sake. In particular I like using this balm at bedtime to really sooth dry skin on the lips, cuticles and the occasional dry spot. I've been looking for a replacement for my tin for several months now and it is definitely much cheaper on Drugstore.com than in [@]!

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

            I just stumbled upon this while I was searching on this site for my regular lip balm. It got such rave reviews that I just had to try it. Big mistake! I just don't see what everyone thinks is so great about this stuff. It's probably the worst lip balm I've ever used, and I've yet to find any other uses that I like it for either. For me, it's just very over-priced Vaseline that doesn't work as well and smells even worse!

                This stuff is a staple in my purse. I don't like to be without it, especially in the winter b/c it is so healing for chapped lips and dry cuticles. I can't believe that it's so cheap! I think it is one of the best kept secrets EVER! Try it yourself, you will NOT be disappointed!

                  If I had an addiction it would be rosebud salve!!! We always kept it in our home when I was growing up, then it became hard to find and I am so happy it has made a comeback and readily available. No better lip balm on the market!
