Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter

Here's a short but sweet review on the Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter! I've had this product for a few years now and have been using it a lot lately for a sheer, comfortable lip color!


The Korres lip butters are tinted lip balms that have a really nice, glossy finish. They are a really nice formula and according to Sephora.com, they are formulated without:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

They also contain shea butter and rice wax, along with other natural oils to hydrate and smooth your lips. I LOVE the way they feel when you first apply it to your lips, but personally, I don't feel any long term moisturizing effects--your lips feel nice and smooth when the lip butter is on your lips, but once it wears off, that feeling doesn't linger. Thus, lots of reapplications are needed or I wear a heavier lip balm underneath! I do still love it because the sheer color it gives is so pretty--and they DO feel incredibly soft on the lips :) Check out my post here where I'm wearing it!

The smell is nice and fruity, but not overpowering. I really love the Pomegranate shade--it is an extremely flattering strawberry pink. The only other negative for the lip butters is the packaging--the little pot that it comes in (although really, really cute) can be unhygienic and is not the best when you're on the go. I do love carrying them in my purse, but i just have to make sure I can clean my hands before and after applying. I believe they come in stick form now but I haven't tried them yet!

If you want a tinted, glossy lip balm that will keep your lips soft during the day, this is a really nice choice. As long as you don't expect any healing or long term benefits, you will love it. They retail for $12 at Sephora.com and come in other great colors. I usually wait for a sale to snag them up! :)
However, if healing dry, chapped lips is your main concern, pass on the Korres butters as there are definitely better options out there (such as Jack Black lip balms or Paula's Choice lip balm).

Any Korres Lip Butter fans out there!? What do you think?

    I love the Korres lip butters as an everyday lip product. I had the pomegranate one for about a day, and I returned it for some reason...looking at that swatch now, I think I need to go back to Sephora and take another look at it haha
    Great review!

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and...

Updated Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
Hey all! I've gotten a lot of requests asking for an updated post of my Inglot eyeshadows. I first posted about them last year after discovering how much I love them and how affordable they were for such a quality eyeshadow. After all this time, they are still one of my favorite eyeshadow formulas and I probably use at least one or two of them in each look I do. Since my first post, I have accumulated two more palettes so there are a bunch of new colors that I swatched (along with repeats from last year's post). If you'd like to read more about Inglot and the various eyeshadow formulas, please take a look at my original post HERE ! Let's jump into it!  I posted my swatches from left to right, top row first then the bottom! For quick reference, the finishes are as follows: P = Pearl, M = Matte, Double Sparkle = DS, Advanced Makeup Component = AMC, & lastly, AMC Shine  Again take a look at my first post  here  for more in-depth descriptions. ...
