Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine - Nude Gloss







This is the Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine.  PRETTIEST PACKAGING EVER!  I got a little snap happy but a box this pretty deserves every photo it gets.
I picked this up whilst in Canada as part my Sephora haul.  I'd heard a lot about it, primarily from Anna and thought I'd give it a go.



The balm itself is smooth and not sticky, very easy to throw on before work and during the day.  Its ingredient include Shea butter and rice wax... unusual!  It keeps lips soft but I wouldn't say it was particularly repairing if you're prone to dryness and cracking (as I occasionally am!).  So I think I'll need to give my lips some TLC before I reach for it again.  But I have been applying it throughout the day since I got it...
The shade is a lovely nude/pink but the balm isn't very pigmented.  For me, that's perfect.  In a balm I'm not really looking for a heavy opaque colour so the Korres lip balm fits the bill!
The scent isn't particularly jasmin-y but again, scents can sometimes be overwhelming and this one certainly isn't.



The packaging is absolutely beautiful.  I've struggled to throw it away but think the time will soon come when I must...!  The little pot it comes is in small, portable and durable, it wont be getting and dents like your vaseline tin!

Overall I'm really glad I bought this product.  Sometimes all I want is low matenaine pretty make up and I love a glossy non sticky lip.  It may not be the longest wearing but I sometimes like to reapply something as luxurious as this every hour or so.

You can pick this up on Amazon or Feel Unique for between £5-6.

Are you tempted?  Are there any other lip butters you recommend?

Look Double Hit Lip Review

Whenever a make up range emerges from an unlikely source, we can be forgiven for having a few reservations.  It seems only natural that MAC, Nars, Benefit etc have years of experience and will therefore produce make up at a higher standard.  Every once in a while however, I am proved well and truly wrong and this is one of those times!  Enter the Look Beauty range...









































Having seen this in Superdrug and feeling a little adventurous I picked up the Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot.  At £7 it sits right in the middle of the market and I'd say it was very purse friendly!
The product consists of a matte(ish!) lipstick at one end and a matching gloss at the other.
You can either wear them separately or together (as in the photo above)
Rose Riot is a lovely but very wearable bright pink shade.  The lipstick is nicely pigmented and has good staying power.  Since purchasing I have started wearing this most days and have found it to last just as long as its MAC contemporaries!  The gloss isn't too sticky and has a strong sweet candy smell, which I love but some may find a little overpowering...
Over all I am very impressed with my first purchase from the range and look forward to exploring it further...
What do you think? Do you have any products from the Look range?
Until next time...
