Advantages: Soothes chapped/dried lips

Disadvantages: Weird taste

Spending much time outside with the horses, lip balms are a must for my chapped, sometimes flaky lips over the winter months! I have tried a number of brands, colours, consistencies over the years including nivea sticks, Vaseline pots (inc the aloe vera one) and other blistex products. I wasn't overly impressed with their soothing splash liquid one that I had tried previously which really dried my lips out.

I was all set on buying the Carmex lip balm (priced at £2.44) but saw this Blistex one at £1.95 and thought why not, any reason to save a bit of money!

The screw lid on the pot is very easy to open, especially when my hands are freezing cold unlike the Vaseline pot which I always struggle to open. On first applying, it leaves your lips with quite a shine and with a tingling sensation which I guess must be the menthol ingredients. I tend to find I can feel the balm on my lips for a good hour or so depending on whether I eat or drink anything. It tastes a little odd but definitely not off putting.
Despite loving the feel/look of it, I do try to limit my appliance of the product to about 2-3 times per day as I do find that overuse sometimes leaves me needing to use the product more.

Overall I find this product easy to use and it does the job required. I'd definitely buy again though it isn't my favourite product that I've used.

Summary: Nice product with good results
