Blistex Five Star Lip Protection - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2024)

There are two moments where this lip balm has saved me: the first moment was at my wedding last month, when my Stila liquid lipstick made my lips look really dry and cracked. I dabbed this lip balm...

This is my go-to lip balm. It has broad-spectrum sun protection, and it does a good job of keeping my lips moisturized. However, it isn't really good enough for very chapped, sore lips, but as an...

I'm honestly surprised at the negative reviews for this one! This is my go-to spf lip balm for ski trips and it works! The price is unbeatable for the quality. Smells like vanilla cake to me. The...

Before buying this I had checked the reviews here. I decided to take a chance despite some saying the smell/flavor was overwhelming. At first, I thought I had found my holy grail chapstick with...

I feel like some of these reviews are for a completely different product than what I have.. My review is for the Blistex lip balm in the golden tube, spf 30. I'm usually the type of person who...

I've used/tried many lip balms in order to fight against chapped lips, and so far I'm most satisfied with this one.For the price, I haven't found one better.I only feel the need to apply it...

I've always been leary of Carmex products (the "addiction" issue), but this was on sale and advertises to stay on your lips in water and for extended periods. I was hoping this would solve the...

I couldn't tell you how well this moisturizes because, after a few seconds of wearing, some of it got in my mouth and the taste was so hideous that I scrubbed it all off and brushed my teeth....

I could not use this lip balm more than once due to the smell. Be warned!! It STINKS! This stuff smells like old prune juice.

Ok, so while this lip balm has a couple cons that are hard to ignore, the pros MASSIVELY outweigh the cons. Straight off the bat, this product has an overwhelming scent and flavour of some fake...

I love Blistex products, most of them work really well for me except for this one. It made my lips look disgusting, lip balms are supposed to make your lips look smooth, shiny and clean. When I...

I do not like this for a day to day lip product. I don't like the taste or smell (no, I don't eat my lipbalm, but if a product is on your lips, you are going to taste it) and it doesn't feel that...

Five star balm. Provides 6-8 hours of creamy moisture for my lips. Some balms dry out my lips (cough baby lips), but not this stuff. Super cheap, try it.

This might actually be my HG "all purpose" lip balm, 5 or 6 tubes later. I use this as part of my morning skincare/sunscreen routine, plus whenever I'm in the car and as needed. I normally don't...

I love this product. I use it all the time especially after I apply my makeup. It gives a nice white tint shade to my lips which brightens my makeup application. It also works great for all weather...

Good: High SPF, no menthol. Bad: White cast and bad smell, yes. Tastes like sunscreen, but you can get over these things.

The reason this product failed for me was because of the white cast it gives. I am a person that loves to reapply lip balm. Not only did this not moisturize my lips and still leave me with flakes...

Most of my lip balms make my lips peel and dry out, but this one is absolutely AMAZING! It's a lifesaver in the winter when my lips get really chapped. I recommend this to everyone! It's the best...

I bought this specifically for the SPF, at shoppers drug mart, for $4-5. It was way, way, way too dry on my lips. My lips do tend to get dry though, so I would just like to stress that if you need...

Blistex Five Star Lip Protection is one of the best things I’ve used. It’s really hot or it’s really cold where I live—no in the middle. This lip balm protects my lips in all conditions & that’s...
