::: The Product :::
Korres Lip Butters are lip balms which give the lips a hint of color, but can also be applied to the apples of cheeks for a pop of color. The Lip Butters are available in seven flavors/scents: Guava (clear), Quince (sheer rose), Jasmine (sheer neutral pink), Mango (sheer peach), Plum (sheer lavender berry), Pomegranate (sheer coral), and Wild Rose (sheer deep red).

All Korres Lip Butters are made without parabens, sulfates, GMO and petro-chemicals. Guava, Wild Rose, Pomegranate and Quince are free of synthetic fragrances, and Wild Rose, Pomegrante and Quince are also free of synthetic dyes. All of the Lip Butters are made with Shea Butter to hydrate and soften lips, as well as Rice Bran to seal in the treatment benefits of hydration and comfort.

Korres Lip Butters contain approximately 0.21 oz/6g in a white pot with different color lids depending on what scent/flavor you chose. Korres Lip Butters are available at Sephora brick & mortar stores, as well as online for $10. They may also be purchased from drugstore.com for $10. Funny enough, they’re available directly from Korres for only $9 *shrugs*

::: My Experience :::
I kept hearing about Korres Lip Butters from the girls on Makeup Alley, as well as TiffanyD mentioned it in a few of her YouTube videos. Instead of getting one or two with my Sephora Gift Card, I decided to wait it out. I mean, I was in love with my Cococare Cocoa Butter Lip Balm!

Back in November I had a crappy experience at my local Sephora, so I wrote to the company about my experience. The district manager was kind enough to write me offering a free gift (which I never received, but that’s not a biggie) and a complimentary consultation. I’m not sure if the consultations are generally “complimentary” or not, but I figured I’d give it a go. Since this was right before the holidays, I decided to wait until after Christmas since I knew I had to go in for my birthday gift anyway… Which they were out of, so I’ll have to call the store back on this one. Anywho! The manager offered for me to come in this past weekend since a lady with Korres was in doing the consultations.

Sahra with Korres was wonderful! I didn’t need much help as far as cosmetics since I already know quite a bit and am happy with what I currently use. She did help me with her own hints on doing the cat eye/winged liner, which I still need to try out. I decided I’d finally try the highly praised Lip Butter, and was HOOKED instantly! I ended up purchasing one in Jasmine because the smell is just divine! The only one I didn’t care for smell wise was Guava… I’m not sure how to describe the smell, but it wasn’t pleasant to me. I think I’d have to get Pomegranate or Plum next… Maybe Quince…

My lips are insanely soft from using the Korres Lip Butter! I apply it at night before bed, and still wake up with soft lips! I keep it in the bathroom, so I apply it whenever I go in there as well. Since Jasmine isn’t a very dark balm, and I do have pretty pigmented lips, I don’t get much color from my Lip Butter, but that’s just fine. Also, I generally prefer a tubed lip balm (even if it’s a squeeze tube), so that’s my only real “issue” with this product. However, I will most definitely be buying more of these. I’m thinking relatively soon too so I have one for my desk at work!

::: Overall :::
I will most definitely be purchasing this product again! Korres Lip Butters are just as wonderful as everyone said they were! I’m glad I finally caved and purchased one, and I look forward to owning many more! If you have a change to grab one, do it! Smell them all first if you want too… Make sure you’re putting something on that you’ll love to smell as much as wear!
