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 liked this balm before my cats disappeared it off the computer desk. But for the price and due to its greasiness, I'd probably not repurchase unless on sale.

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

      This is the best product I have found to eliminate my dry ears. Every morning I apply some to my ears and rub it in.After a few minutes I will rub my ears again to work it into the skin and eliminate the greasiness of the save. No more embarrassing dry dandruff like dead skin on my ears. It's great.

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

        Its ok, there really isn't much to brag about here, its basically petroleum jelly with a slight tint and scent. I wouldn't describe the scent as rose, more of a medicinal scent. It isn't terrible, but not a true rose. I would hail this balm if it was made from castor oil, vegetable oil, beeswax, or any other still inexpensive more natural ingredients to create this product. it has a huge following and I don't know why, it would be good for lips or face if all you are trying to do is prevent dehydration but its really shiny and doesn't really moisturize. I would love to find a true rose balm...the quest continues.

          If I could give this 0 stars, I would. DISGUSTING PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCT!!! Do not buy this. If I had known I was going to be smearing motor oil on my lips, I would not have bought this. Total waste of almost $6. I will stick with Desert Essence and Burt's Bees...

          I've read heard about this product for years and was excited to finally find it in stock. The smell is wonderful with a mildly sweet taste. However, I was dissapointed because I constantly had to re-apply it. I also used it at bedtime and by morning my lips were very dry. There are many other products out there and do a much better job.
