I don't want to bog everyone down with a huge review on basically what is a tinted lip balm,
so I'll keep this review short and sweet...first time for everything and all.
Korres lip butters are slightly tinted lip balms that have a high gloss finish, they moisturise and add a hint of colour to the lips but do not have any medicinal values. If the potted version of these balms freak you out a little, you can purchase these in a traditional stick form...more hygienic and all!
Each lip butter is a blend of Shea butter and rice wax, free of petroleum jelly. In my opinion Korres lip butters are some of the softest balms available, they melt with first contact of skin and feel buttery soft too and are not sticky at all.
Mango is a bright vibrant coral almost orange shade in potted form and on the lips it definitely looks more orange than in the pot. However as it is a tinted balm the shade is muted and not scary at all.
It has a slight ring of Mac Ever Hip about the shade. The only thing I dislike is the highly artificial almost plastic scent not really how you would imagine mango to smell like, luckily once on the lips it is undetectable but it is still disappointing in that aspect. The great thing about these lip butters is they look great layered over lipsticks and although they may not heal the lips they do a great job of hydrating at a purse friendly price.
Product Summary
Round Up - A soft soft lip balm that does not heal but instead adds a hint of colour and keeps the lips soft throughout the day.
Best For - Those who like tinted lip balms and do not need a balm to heal, shade wise it is a possible dupe/alternative for Mac's Ever Hip
Pigmentation - (6/10) Which I think is good going for a tinted lip balm.
I like the colour!! *writes on wishlist*
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Well, to be honest? I dislike mangos! Haha. I put off buying this specifically because I thought it would smell like mangos, even though I love the color. The pigmentation is nice. I would still layer it over a more healing balm but I love this color quite a bit~
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice hint of colour! Definitely going to be purchasing this! xxx

@Kelly - I have tried to get that one a few times but its sells out so quickly :( x
@TrailerHoodChic- Ooh what shade do you have? x
That looks lovely! I've always wanted to try these but never got around to it, but fab that they don't contain petroleum jelly, i often find products that to just mask dehydration and not solve the problem... and sometimes make my lips feel even dryer.
