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!

    The light scent is lovely. The gentle moisture works great. My husband loves it and has his own tins too. It's not just for women at all.

        I'm a registered nurse, always wash my hands in serious detergent.
        Allowed for healing of cracked cuticles, great for lips without being sticky. Use at night and before I leave for work.

                    I usually love Rosebud Salve for it's soothing touch to dry lips--[...]I'll try it one more time to see if this last order was a fluke because I normally love the product!

                      I bought this because of all the wonderful reviews, but this product is one of my biggest beauty purchase regrets ever! I'm so glad it was so inexpensive. First of all, the packaging is adorable, but incredibly impractical. The product was all melted when I received it in the mail (I'm in TX and I bought it in the summer) and I had to pry the thing open with a pocket knife. Ridiculous. When I finally got the thing open, the smell just about knocked me over. I thought I had somehow ended up in a nursing home. It's awful. Beyond that, i would NEVER put this stuff on my lips. I realize it's multi-purpose, but I wanted to use it on my lips. The texture is similar to Petroleum Jelly, but goopier. So gross. Don't waste your money. I'm tempted to buy the Strawberry, but this brand has totally lost me.
