Korres Plum Lip Butter in Plum

Hey gorgeous!

Here's another treat my sis brought home from Australia...

Korres Plum Lip Butter in Plum

She has quite a number of Korres Products that I got to try and this one she gave to me. For those of you who aren't familiar yet with Korres, it is a Greek brand that offers makeup and skin care using organic ingredients.

Anyway, my sister really loves this lip butter so she wanted me to try it. And upon trying it, I fell in-love!

But first, some info about it:

(from the website)

Ideal for chapped lips
0,21Fl. Oz.6mL 

Why Shea Butter? 

Shea butter has been traditionally used in Africa by native soap manufacturers to protect skin and hair from the harsh climate. It’d also been a well known baby pampering treat, intended to protect newborns from extreme weather. Recent findings claim that Shea butter protects the skin against climate and UV aggression; helps preventing wrinkle formation; soothes irritated and chapped skin and moisturises the epidermis. 

So this lip butter doesn't come with an applicator so it's better to use a lip brush or a cotton bud/Q-tip in getting the product. This is better than dipping your fingers in the pot for hygienic purposes. :)

This lip butter is very pigmented compared to other lip butter's I've tried. It also has a glossy finish and the scent is so yummy! This is available in 6 other shades too (Quince, Mango, Pomgrenate, Guava, Jasmine, Wildrose).

Here's a picture of my bare lips:

and my lips with the product applied:

I like that the color suits my skin well and it really made my lips look moisturized. If you have chapped lips, it quickly gets rid of it. I swear!

My only downside for this is that since the color is strong, I can't put on lipstick on top of it anymore, especially the lighter shades, which I usually do to avoid my lips from drying. I still need a nice colorless balm with me.

I'm not so sure of its price since this was just given to me by my sis and this, I think, is still not available in the country. If it is, please do tell me! :)

So, have you tried this product yet?
What lip butters do you use?

Korres Zea Mays Blushes in Pink and Orange Brown

Hello, lovelies!

My sister brought some of her makeup from Australia when she visited almost 2 months ago. Two of those are these blushes from Korres.

Korres Blushes in Zea Mays Blush and Orange Brown

It was my first time to try their products when she showed me these.

She gave me the Pink one since it doesn't suit her skin tone now. She's very tanned now so she's more into peaches.

This one she uses as a bronzer. It's the perfect bronzer for her tanned skin. It gives an extra glow too because of the subtle gold shimmers!

And here are the swatches!

Pretty, huh?

I'm definitely enjoying the Pink Blush. Will use it in one of my FOTD's soon. :)

Have you tried any Korres Blush yet?

Cheers!

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!

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!
