Rose Salve
This is better than the average lip balm, and leaves a nice sheen and a faint rosy tint on the lips. It doesn't burn like some lip balms, and the tin is very cute. One tin will last you a very long time. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful

wonderful!
I can understand all the hype that this balm has received. After finally giving in and buying a tin (mostly because I have countless lip stuff already), I really enjoy this product. My lips tend to become chapped quite frequently and this smoothes it out quickly. It's not sticky, feels very moisturizing, and it smells amaaaazing. My lips look luscious after putting this on. It's only $5.50 a tin, but a little goes a long way! I haven't used it on any other part of my body like claims say you can, but I reckon it would work nicely! — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

C.O. BIGELOW ROSE SALVE
I have both this and the original Smith's Rose salve in fact I did a comparison of them on my blog. I love this. I think the formula is slightly better than Smith's because when I apply this at night, it is still protecting my lips in the morning. I sometimes get cold sores and this type of product is essential to keeping my sensitive lips moisturized when that happens. I use one or the other of them EVERY night before bed and the results are beautiful, soft lips. A lot of people say this is just glorified Vaseline. I disagree, it has rose extract which acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant (beat that Vaseline). I have NEVER tried a better lip balm before these. There is one problem though. As much as I love the C. O. Bigelow balm, I can't get the tin open if I have the slightest bit of moisture on my hands. I think it gets worse during the winter with the cold temperatures but it's really obnoxious. That is why I went out to buy the Smith's salve which, by the way, opens like a dream. If C. O. Bigelow made this open-able this would be my HG product! I had heard great things about this product for years so when I finally spotted it at Bed Bath & Body Works I couldn't resist. I actually don't find that packaging difficult to open at all. I like the vintage looking tin, though it's important to always have clean fingers before reaching in! I like this for temporary moisture on my lips, but it's a winner for my cuticles! At first, I felt like it was too greasy on my fingers and was disappointed. But lately I have been using it just before bed massaged into my cuticles and even after the first night I noticed a difference! The subtle scent is beautiful. Because of the slightly greasy texture I wouldn't use it on my face as it recommend (it says for elbows, cuticles, lips, face, knees) My only gripe is that the product is very soft and easy to create a mess if you aren't careful... Overall I love it for my cuticles and *like* it for my lips. I would repurchase. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 15 people said helpful
