There is a magical super product is called Rose Salve that can save you from wasting money. It's a multitasking moisture provider that will be your new best friend if you don't want to spend a ton of money.
Basically, it's a lip balm/cuticle balm/intensive moisturizer. I use it nightly as a lip balm, and it's the perfect night balm. It last all night but isn't apparent or sticky when I wake up in the morning. It does last all night, though. I've also used it on dry patches on my face, particularly around my eyes (you know how much damage can be caused by makeup and makeup remover). It works like a charm, and is nonirritating. I do not recommend this as a full face and/or body moisturizer, though. This is kind of odd, but if you get a small cut (e.g. paper cut, small razor nick, paper-cuts, etc.), you can use it to help stop the bleeding and shorten the healing time. It won't work on large gashes, but I speak from experience when I say it really helps to minimize blood loss.
The smell is light. It's definitely not overwhelming, and its slightly rosy. There are no unpleasant notes, like some other moisturizers may have. It lacks a taste, which, personally, is fine with me, as taste was not the reason for which I bought it. If you buy your lip balms for taste, then this probably isn't for you. It's pink in the tin, but applies clear.
The texture is very smooth and lightweight. Rose salve feels great on your lips.
Moisturization from this product is impressive. If used daily, one will have flake-free, non-cracked lips. You don't need a lot for a light moisturization. Therefore, the 22 gram tin will last you forever.
I've had one tub of this for far over a year, and I'm still not done with it. And I use a TON at night on my lips because they dry out so quickly. It easily comes out of the little container with your finger, and you can use your fingers to easily and precisely apply the product.

If I were to rate it, I'd give it a 10/10. You can get it at any Bath & Body Works store for the low price of $5.50.
As this post is getting rather long, I feel it is best to end it now. Thanks for reading!
