The color is a rich orchid shade—a beautiful mix of purple and pink. As mentioned in my other posts about the other NYX Butter Glosses, this product is a gloss that keeps the lips hydrated. It's non-sticky too so it's very comfortable to wear. It's the kind of lip gloss that I like. :D

Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick Trio

Hi Ladies!

How's your weekend so far?

Mine's a bit busy with all the tasks I have to do for different reasons. Gaaah! But anyway, I'll just do a blog post about something that might interest most of you.

When my sister came back here in Manila for a vacation from her studies in AU, she brought along her favourite makeup goodies that she knew I haven't tried yet. 

And some of these makeup are...

Korres Liquid Lipstick Trio

I haven't even tried any product from that brand yet nor was I aware of the brand at all. Haha! So much beauty stuff yet to be discovered by yours truly. :P

I did a quick research though and found out that Korres is a Greek brand that started in 1996. It focuses on makeup and skin care using mostly natural ingredients. 

If you'd like to find out more about Korres, visit their website.

Anyway, these liquid lipsticks come with a doe wand applicator.

Makes it very easy to apply since it is in liquid form.

The shades are the following:

28 - Berry

54 - Fuchsia

13 - Soft Pink

Here's a heads up about this products from sephora.com :

What it is:
A cooling, water-based liquid lipstick rich in line-smoothing, antioxidant-rich raspberry and pomegranate extracts.

What it does:
This cooling, water-based formula contains the natural raspberry and pomegranate extracts to protect against free-radical damage and smooth lip lines for softer, more youthful-looking lips. It glides on with the creamy texture of a lip gloss and has the long-lasting, vibrant finish of a lipstick.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

My sister said that these are currently her favourite lippies so I had high expectations when I finally had a chance to try them out.

And honestly, they really are great!

Very pigmented, easy to spread and never dried my lips. Nice scent too!

Here are the swatches for proof!

(From left to right)

Berry, Fuchsia, Soft Pink

And here are pictures of what they look like on my lips:

My Bare Lips

28 - Berry

54 - Fuchsia

13 - Soft Pink

Berry and Fuchsia resembles in shade a lot but they both are stunning! My favourite would have to be soft pink! It just has this lovely finish on my lips and it would look great with a natural look or with very smokey eyes. But the darker colors (Berry and Fuchsia) have better staying power.

These lippies remind me so much of my favourite lip glosses from LipFusion. Check out my post about it here.

Have you tried any Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipsticks before or any other product from the brand yet? Share, share!

Cheers!
