It's what you would call "Cheap as chips" but it doesn't work for me at all.
The product just feels waxy on my lips and doesn't penetrate my skin to offer any hydration.
It's a cute looking product and the scent is lovely, but that's where it ends for me.
Bought this because of the cute little container.....
1 goes on thick
2 smells divine (reminds me of cherry cola drink)
3 doesn't compare to its original counter part though sadly
Gosh, did I really think that a petrolatum based lip balm would keep my annoying chapped lips at bay? Well yep, that was before I used the product, yes it does smoothen those roughened up lips on application but a few minutes afterwards my lips starts feeling dry and the chapping begins like dry leaves in autumn. So you have to reapply the product very single minute to get the desired effect if you know what I mean. DUH?
consistancy/smell: Red waxy consistancy with a very strong cherry scent
Price: R4.99 @Jet for 7g
I brought this yesterday for the 1st time ever and I must say I'm not a fan of Zam-Buk. It smells similar to the Medi-Keel throat lozenges, very strong cherry scent. It's very thick, but also very waxy when applied to the lips, I could feel that I had something on my lips, but when I looked in the mirror my lips still looked dryish,it has no shine or shimmer and it didn't give my lips the reddish tint I was hoping to get. I have to apply it really thick in order for my lips to look like it has something on.
My lips do feel a little moisturized, but where is that waxy feel as well.
Would I buy it again: Definatley a Big NO...... I'll probably end up using it as an emergency lip balm,, when I've forgotton or misplaced my labello
I like the fact that this is better than the original Zambuk in looks and scent but HATE the waxy feel. It literally feels like I am applying wax polish to my lips and I struggle to make it melt on to my lips and absorb. Sometimes it even flakes off, during really cold winter days and sit in clumps on my lips. This is a no from me.
Love the scent, Love the Price. Isn't really effective though as it doesn't melt on lips nicely. Good for night use. The packaging is cute though difficult to open.
for just R5 at Legit 9GUESS I WAS GOING THROUGH ONE OF MY LETS TRY THIS PHASE)i was like "O my Word thats like the cheapest thing ever and it smells divine i must try this" Once applied it leaves your lips feeling soft; it moisturizes your lips preventing dried chapped lips for ever; Luckily unlike Vaseline it does not look oily once applied it absorbs almost immediately. I find this perfect to apply just before applying your favorite lip color...it is also very Yummy;)
Bought this on impulse while buying a chocolate - for R5 it's pretty cheap! And a nice package too.
It smells great and yummy BUT I find that it doesn't do a great job at moisturising at all. I feel like it dries out my lips actually. Then again, I do tend to have quite dry lips so maybe this just isn't aimed at someone like me who needs something more heavy duty.
