This product is not only going to leave your lips chap-free – but this Rose Bud Salve can be lathered onto dry knees and elbows, insect bites and moms, it’s a multi task-er, from lips to nappy rash, this little tin is a handbag must! The Minted Rose Lip Balm, well this I would wear in the morning, it gives a little wake-up kick, or right before kissing. It’s fresh, minty and makes your lips tingle. Mmmm.

The next 3, Brambleberry Rose, Strawberry and Mocha Rose, you’ll just want to stick a teaspoon into. These are totally and utterly delicious smelling , leave lips soft and moisturized with a subtle sheen. I think I would have bought this product just for the vintage tin, but luckily, it’s packed with goodness!

Good Friend and renound Cape Town make-up artist Sylvie Hurford says:

“I have always been enchanted with roses. So much, that I named my daughter Rose.
I bought my first tin of Smith’s Rosebud lip salve at  Ricky’s on Broadway in New York about 10 years ago, not knowing that it was a cult favourite, iconic amongst make up artists, models and actresses – I just loved the vintage tin, the fact that it could be used for a baby’s bottom (!) , the sheer pink tint, the fact that you hardly ever have to reapply and the smell, the smell, the smell. Its a great unifier – someone spots it in your kit, falls on it with delight and then you bond instantly postulating the wonders of Rosebud! I keep a tin in my bag, a tin in my kit and a stock of tins on my bathroom shelf.”

Also watch out for the Menthol and Eucalyptus balm for those weary days when  you need some TLC on muscles, mind and mood! Marvelous!

    What stores are they stocked at in Cape Town/Stellenbosch? I was overseas at the beginning of the year and loved it and have been looking for it ever since.
