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:

Can't live without it! My family has been using this wonder salve as long as I can remember, starting with my great-grandmother in the early 1900's. We use it for everything. It's wonderful to prevent/cure diaper rash, chapped lips, chapped skin, blemishes, and minor cuts. Everyone I've had try it wants their own. I haven't found a more universal product. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Give it a try!

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

I love this stuff. I have used it on my lips over my lipstick for a tinted glossy effect, and I have used it on my cuticles as well. If you use it faithfully, it works well. It smells just like roses, and the consistency is not sticky or tacky. The price is reasonable, too, because it lasts forever. Well worth the investment.

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

It is ok. I like the color it gives the lips, but I find it too greasy. It just sits on top of the lips, I don't think it really goes into the skin. It made me break out more, so I am guessing that is only good if you have dry skin. The smell is okay. Not the tradional rose scent I am used to.

Works really well. The scent isn't very good, but doesn't last long. I put it on overnight, and my lips were nicely moisturized in the morning. I would buy it again, and recommend.

By Leah

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

I was rather disappointed. I'd heard such great things about this product, but found it drying on the lips. I got used to the smell, but I didn't find it appealing or rose-scented. I did like the touch of color it added to my lips and cheeks. It was just right for a minimalist girl like me. It was just too drying. I had to keep reapplying it, and it caused my lips to actually chap, even under lipstick.

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

This is the most wonderful salve ever. I first discovered it when I lived in Frederick MD, as I believe it was made right around that area. It was getting hard to find. I still have a tiny amount left, as I was using it sparingly in fear of not being able to get it again. Then voila, as usual, your site came through for us.
Thank you so much.

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

Wow, where has this been all these years?! I had never heard of this or tried it before I found it on drugstore.com. I had tried their Starwberry one, but the taste of strawberries all the time was a little much. I got my first tin of it today and have been happily slathering my chapped lips often. It has a slight rose scent, but that fades, and is not at all over powering-nor does it have a taste to it. I appiled some to a few very dry spots on my face, and even my cuticles. A great all-purpose product that I will indulgde in again! And this is a large generous tin, it will certainly last longer then any lip balm in the tube.

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

This scent gave me terrible headaches. It is pretty strong, and being right below your nose once applied, it is not for those with a sensitivity to perfumes. I did like the texture when I put it on my lips, so I was sad that the smell affected me so badly. BE CAREFUL - don't leave this product near a heat source or in a hot car. I left mine in the car, and when I opened it, it had completely melted and spilled all over my shirt and pants. It didn't come out in the wash.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. This is the best lip balm I have ever used. I will now start trying the other hints I read.
Smith's Rosebud Salve is now a must-have in my purse and bathroom drawer.

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

I'm on my second tin of this stuff. I ALWAYS always goop it on before bed every night. My lips are rarely chapped during the day and they are always plump. I figure if I keep moisturizing my lips, when I'm old they won't become yucky looking! The smell is nice, more of a fake rose smell- but I dont care because I don't use it for the fragrance, and it dosen't put me off any. The tin is cute and looks nice on my bathroom vanity. Good price, and lasts a long time!
