Advantages: handy size, keeps lips healthy

Disadvantages: can stain, opening the tin can be tricky

My lips and skin dry out quickly and so vaseline is a must have item for me, especially when the weather turns colder. Rather than a nice big tub of it, I find these little lip therapy tins are more handy.

*********Good points*********

I find these tins a fantastic size for slipping into my pocket or bag, making it easy to carry them around with me.
This product does stop my lips from getting chapped and soothes them if they are already chapped.
The rosy tint makes lips look healthy and "polished" without giving too much colour or an overly made up look. Perfect for when you want to keep things looking natural.
The tin seems to last a good while, I usually have one in my coat, one in my bag and one in my make up box and replace them around every 9 months (or sooner if they get lost and I seem to be good at loosing lip balms!)

*********Bad points*********

The tint in this vaseline means that unlike the other varieties of this product you can't use it on your nose if it gets dry. Although these little tins are designed for lips I do find it quite handy to dab a little onto my nose too if I have a cold and it was annoying to not be able to do this.
The tin is easy enough to get into that my toddler son can open it, but inexplicably at other times it takes at least 30 seconds of prising off the lid with my nails to manage to open it! A different design would be much less frustrating.
Last year I went for a nap with this tint on my lips and I can still see a feint mark on my pillow case where it stained the fabric! I found this very frustrating.
Because you apply this tint with your fingers, you are left with rosy tinted stuff on your hands that you have to be careful with as it might stain something.

*********Price and availability*********

I usually buy my vaseline lip tins from Boots (you can buy them in store or online) where it costs £1.99 for a 20g tin (and earns me 4 points on my advantage card).
These little tins are available in many other places, they are usually around the same price that Boots sell them for. Most chemists stock them, as well as supermarkets and some smaller shops too.

*********Overall opinion*********

I didn't like this product much, although it does keep your lips looking good I just didn't get on with the tint. In future I would stick to the original and aloe vera varieties.
Although I would on the whole recommend the vaseline range of lip balms, I would not recommend this one in particular.

Summary: Not as great as non tinted versions of the product.
