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.
I wanted to theme this one but could I find a Quince? No.
What the heck is a Quince anyway haha?
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.
Quince is a deep pink red in potted form - a raspberry pink hue
however when applied to the lips it takes on a bright blue pink tone.
It is a really pretty shade and a lovely way to incorporate a bright shade without going the full hog!
The only thing I dislike is the highly artificial almost plastic scent
I have no idea what a Quince is but this smells slightly like passion fruit?
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 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.
Pigmentation - (6/10) Which I think is good going for a tinted lip balm.
Availability - You can buy these from feelunique.com - link for £5.40

ReplyDeleteA quince is a flower found in Asia :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh thank you :) so odd that they haven't used any floral design on the packaging instead they have put what looks like a watermelon haha so odd but thanks for letting me know :)
DeleteI was curious so I just googled; it's a flower :) x
ReplyDeleteahhh :) why didn't I think to do that haha :) thanks lovely :)
DeleteI love Korres Lip Butters, I have four of them and Quince is the one that is in my purse at all times!
ReplyDeleteit's my new favourite :) what other shades do you have :)
DeleteI love how pigmented this balm is, it's not often you see something so glossy yet so colourful. I have to add my two bits though, quince is not just a flower, it's also a fruit, which is what they probably went for in this. It's like a mixture of a squishy apple and a pear (my nan used to make jam out of these, so I know haha).

I love these lipsticks! To me they're the best! :)
ReplyDeleteWe call Quince Membrillo in my family. But I'm not a fan of it myself - I do like it in wine form though! Passionfruit sounds about right with what it should smell like. :O I love the color and would probably pick this up given the payoff.
ReplyDeletequince means fifteen in Spanish
ReplyDeleteGreek mythology associates the quince with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and many believe that the golden apple given to her by Paris was a quince.Maybe it was the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. The quince is hard, acidic, and astringent before cooking, but once cooked and sweetened, it turns red, tastes divine, and takes on the color and flavor of love, in addition to the name.We make marmalade, spoon sweets, and jellies and it's also good with lamb, turkey, and duck. Quinces can also be baked, much the same as apples.Big hugs from Greece,i like your blog and special your writing.Amalia
