Review: Korres Lip Butter

Here is my first product review for my new blog!  It coincides with my first video review on YouTube, which I made as my contest entry for the Makeup Geek Star Challenge.  If you haven't heard of Makeup Geek, I highly recommend checking it out.  It has great tutorials and the forums are really helpful.

I am a lip product addict.  From lipsticks to glosses to balms, my collection is constantly growing.  I tend to prefer bold lipstick colors with matte finishes, but every now and then I want a lighter, more natural–looking product without sacrificing that little pop of color.  So began my obsession with Korres Lip Butter. 


 Korres, a Greek skincare and cosmetic line out of Athens uses primarily natural ingredients in their products (bonus!).  Their super‒popular Wild Rose anti‒aging skin care line is a big hit at Sephora along with their high quality cosmetics.  

Although I cannot attest to the the other products by Korres, I can tell you that their Lip Butter is a godsend. The formula is incredibly creamy and smells fantastic.  The balm is lightly pigmented to give lips a soft and shiny flush without shimmer.  

The Lip Butter comes in seven colors.  Watch my YouTube video to see swatches of the five I own.  Most of the shades are pretty universally flattering (except maybe the "Mango" shade, which comes off a bit orange).  I particularly love Quince.  It is the perfect rosey pink that looks good with everything.  Jasmine is also great for a soft nude lip to balance dark, smokey eyes. 

This stuff looks fab on bare lips as well as layered over a lipstick.  It also gives that extra little bit of moisture you need to keep lips from getting flakey in the cold winter months.  

At 10 bucks a pop, this stuff is a bit of a luxury (although you can get a 3 pack at Sephora for around $20 and save a few dollars).  But hey, who doesn't need a little bit of luxury in their life?  The stuff is seriously high quality and you get a good amount of product for your money.   I gave a bunch of these out at Christmas and have heard nothing but positive reviews.

Want it? Need it? Gotta have it? Yeah, I know the feeling. Find it here: Korres Lip Butter at Sephora
