Lipbalms play an important role in lip care. It can moisturize, prevent chapped and flaking lips, aids in windburn, and as lipstick base. Peace, love and lipgloss or should I say lip balm? Methinks it's time to review one of many lip balms that I have. I remember owning more than 5 lip balms since high school. Avon , Chapstick, Blistex, Nivea, Vaseline to name a few. Some are effective some are nada!
Thanks to google because after years of research I saw this lip balm that has been raved in different forums and after finishing a tube, I will say my thoughts now.

| Carmex Cherry Tube the tube fits my palm |
 |
| Carmex Cherry Tube this is how the balm looks like, a bit thick but spreadable clear gel |
What I like:
- Moisturize my lips in an instant.
- Has a minty feel.
- I love the flavor and scent.
- Really affordable at 99 php since a tube lasts long.
- Has spf.
- Squeezable tube.
What I don't like:
- The texture is a bit waxy.
- There are times that it dries my lips.
- I can taste the petrolatum like petroleum jelly even though its cherry flavored.
Will I repurchase? Maybe no. I still have a back-up since this was given to me as a "pasalubong" by my sister-in-law from the US.
Recommendation:
I give this a 4/5 rating. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try squeezable tube type lip balm than the conventional one in a stick type. For those who wants to moisturize their lips prior to lip stick application.
I'm on a search for another lip balm that is affordable and organic. Do you love carmex lip balms?Share us your thoughts.
Good Times!~
