I bought this at the end of this winter thinking it would be a great lip balm for the sunnier days because it has SPF15 , Vitamin E and it helps prevent & protect chapped , cracked or wind-burned lips . I guess it's also great for people who ski a lot !
Excuse all the dirt and the pink stuff on it ! It's just lip gloss and lipstick ...
Now , let's talk about the results of this product. First of all , I have to say i had high expectations from this product as i am quite familiar with their body moisturizers ( which i adore ). The first time i actually applied this on my lips it kind of stung which is kind of weird coming from a lip balm ! I didn't give up on it straight away though . I went on to use it a few times always hoping that i would be pleased with it but sadly that time never came... I mean don't you think it's weird that each time i apply this balm on my lips it burns my lips !? Shouldn't it be doing anything but that !? It does smell amazing though especially if you love cocoa butter ! All in all , as i said i'm really disappointment in this product ! :/
Vaseline is still ( i find ) the best lip balm / moisturiser if you have dry / chapped lips ! It works marvelously and i may just do a review soon ...
There you have it guys !
I have this and i don't like it either. I find that it just sits on top of my lips and doesn't do anything, tastes horrible too! x
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame it was so disappointing. I love Palmers moisturisers, but won't be trying this!x
ReplyDeleteGreat review, i was going to try this but think i'll give it a miss after reading this.

thats so disappointing! I love carmex xx
ReplyDeleteThere is not much that beats Vaseline - it is the best multipurpose product generally but petroleum is not ideal when you consider the environment! :( I will write a blog about some vaseline alternatives I have tried and am developing some blends too!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Lanolips also thats prety good?

Agreed. I don't think i could live without having Vaseline though :( No , i have not tried Lanolips ! I have heard of it but that's all... maybe i should try it out !
ReplyDeleteI also experienced the same thing and my lips is getting worse :(.. i think i need to stop using this lipbalm
ReplyDeleteI purchased some Plamer's "Coco Butter Formula" lip balm a couple of days ago and it gives a real burning/stinging sensation (ouch!) I'm concerned that this product is doing more damage than good and I won't be continuing to use it.
ReplyDeleteI've used Carmex, Blistex and Vaseline in the past and all have worked perfectly. I enjoy using the other Palmer's cocoa Butter Formula products so thought I'd try the lip balm too but I don't recommend it!
OMG, I just bought this and was SOOO excited to try it but just like you BURNS!!! I googled "Palmer's lip balm burns" and you wouldn't believe how many people said the exact same thing. What is in this stuff? As we speak, it feels like someone took a million little needles dipped in hot sauce and poked them into my lips simultaneously. Going straight in the trash.
ReplyDeleteOmg the same thing happens too me. Its ridiculous, everytime i use it my lips burn.
ReplyDeleteI got mine and i am not in love with it. But is my first spf lip balm so i will use it for a while. I tried Carmex too in these days and OMG is magic in a jar. I love it, the sad part is that i prefer vegan cosmetics or also halal cosmetics (because i identify me like a muslim) and Carmex products contains lanoline and beeswax :(
