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 stuff is okay at best. The smell is kind of weird, but certainly not bad enough to stop using. The texture is really greasy, it doesn't seem to stay on for very long, and its so oily you can feel it ending up in your mouth (icky). The only reason I use this over other balms is that it looks nice on, very natural pink and not too glossy. Its ok, but I really can't figure out why this is such a highly prized beauty product. That said, though, I'll still use it.

This stuff is great. I use it on my nails and cuticles. My nails feel so much stronger and my cuticles don't peel anymore. I also use it as a lip balm. It keeps my lips nice and soft.

I am a lip balm fiend and I must say this by far surpasses any other lip balms Ive tried. It has the best scent ever, and for those of you like me who choose not to wear lipstick, it is a great replacement. It gives your lips a lovely shine and looks fabulous. As others have said, though, its only downfall is the packaging because on hot days it melts and can be messy.

I live in a cold snowy climate and I can't live without this stuff. I put a little on my cheeks on blustery days. It's the best thing ever for lips.

I love this stuff. Gives a very natural (youthful) pink hue to lips, and smells nice. I use it as a good luck charm in my purse. It does get melty/messy in the summer heat... I apply with a lip brush so as not to goop my fingers.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I use it on my lips, on dry elbows and heels, rub it on dry cuticles, all over my face to keep from chapping when I am outside for a long time in cold weather... even on a diaper rash once when nothing else was working, and it cleared up in one day. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Don't know what I ever did without it.

By Elsa

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

I'm not sure what the big rave is for this product with all of the beauty magazines and editors. I feel it has an odd subtle plastic like taste which I didn't like at all. If it wasn't for the taste, I would have thought it would be Vaseline's Petroleum Jelly, which in MHO I think works better. The good thing is that you can use it in a bunch of ways, like on rough cuticles or to add a bit of shine to your lips and face. I was torn between giving it a 2 or a 3.
