I bought CO Bigelow after reasoning with myself over FOMO sales at a certain beauty site. My recent lip cream had been Ole Henriksen in a mini size (7ml). I found it to be good, better than the Rhode one I had which I didn't find spectacular or worth the money.
Everyone (social media) raves about Ole and I thought I should stick with the brand. Yet, I felt uncomfortable spending $24 for a full size because I just didn't want to waste my money when there had to be something equivalent or better at a cheaper price. I just had to find it.
CO Bigelow had been sold and Bath & Bodyworks way back. Now, everything has changed at B&BW, and people have forgotten about CO Bigelow products (Or at least I have). Rarely hyped and hidden in a corner of memories, I decided to revisit.
CO Bigelow lip creams are priced at $9 and about $25 for a set of three. The price of 3 alone covers the price of ONE lip product from those other brands. I bought the Lemon Lip Cream and I have two others for around the house or gifts for others.
This lip cream is a creamy with no color. It is similar in texture to Ole Henriksen which I find slightly stickier than CO Bigelow. CO Bigelow also has other colors available too. I opted for this lemon one because I like lemon. This lemon balm smells like a lemon chiffon pie! Think of Key Lime pie in a lemon version. It also tastes like it too. I didn't eat it, I just accidentally licked my lips.
I am happy with my purchase because I bought something that is reasonably priced and works just as well as the other brands. Remember, CO Bigelow had their lip products out there way before these other brands. Don't forget this brand. They still exist!
You can find their products on Amazon or at CO Bigelow (both the store and the website).
