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:

    Petroleum jelly was the only thing I could use on my severely chapped lips all my life as chapstick items only burned my lips. This salve does the same work as petroleum jelly with a much nicer smell to it. My lips are kept moist without the burning and now without the petroleum jelly smell! I keep a handful throughout the house for ready use. One thing - it does melt in the heat (and then hardens again under normal temps). Also, a couple of my children could not use it (or petroleum jelly) without breaking out with cold sores so if you have problems with petroleum jelly you may with this, also.

        I love this stuff! What a treasure I've found. The one downfall, which is not a big one, is the cute little metal jar it comes in is hard to open sometimes. I wear this to bed, and if I forget to open it before I moisturize, it is difficult. But I love this product! Props to the company who makes it!

        something has changed in its consistency

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

        I have been buying the rosebud salve for quite some time now. But my last order of 2 I noticed a change for the worse in its consistency. Very thin and not as healing. I need a thicker product for my lips. Can you change it back please?

          I absolutely love this product! I keep it in my purse, desk drawer, and my nightstand. It's lightweight, nourishing, and has a soft light glossy finish to it. With regular use, my lips do not chap. Plus, it's great on my cuticles, elbows, scabs/scars, and anywhere that needs extra moisture. I even have use some on my dogs cracked paw! I love the smell too. I have shared this with my friends (obviously not the tin I use on my dog) and they too are hooked. This product is seriously awesome!

            I like this product when my lips are super dry. I have sticks of everything ... but nothing keeps my lips from drying out for more than a half hour. Until this. I don't like that it's in a pot (vs a tube) but it does seem like it will last longer because of this and I won't be as tempted to stick it in my pocket and forget where it went. The only thing I don't care for, is the smell. It does smell like roses so if that's your thing, you'll be happy.

              This salve is a beauty multi-tasker. Yes, it works wonderfully on lips, I keep some on my nightstand and use it nightly and wake to soft plump hydrated lips but I also keep one in my beauty bag for a quick cuticle touch up and it works great in a pinch to clear up dry skin while you are out and about. I also use this on minimal makeup days just a sweep on the lips, cheeks and eyelids for a natural soft look oh and did I mention this is the perfect eyebrow tamer? Yes, the scent is rose and a bit little old lady, I happen to love florals, but not to worry the dry down is sweet and soft and very barely there.

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

                This is my "can't do without it" product! I hate the waxiness of lipstick - using this before lipstick makes lipstick go on smooth & blended, not hard/waxy! Great for any dry patches, soothes allergy irritations, any chapped skin, lips, nose, knuckles, etc! I am a cosmetology instructor, and I have recommended this to many of our students, staff, clients, & friends! It is AWESOME for soothing, softening, & healing dry or irritated skin! My knuckles used to bleed every winter - NEVER AGAIN! Kids love this salve - it never burns or hurts when you use it, even over open sores. Messy? No way - wipe the excess on your elbows or knckles after you're done putting it on your lips! No greasy residue left on your fingers! It also now is available in a tube for more convenience, but I love the tins!!!!!
