REVIEW: Korres Mango Lip Butter




The Korres Lip Butters are such a cult item and it seems that everyone - except for me - has owned one previously or currently owns one. The packaging to start off with is beautiful. Simple, understated and somehow, it works. It's very classy and shows the brand in a positive and professional light. The lip butter itself is rich and melts into the lips while offering a tinted, shiny finish. I chose the Korres Mango Lip Butter* because at the moment, I'm obsessed with the smell of mangoes and this one doesn't let me down. It smells and tastes gorgeous and leaves a very pretty and subtle coral tint on the lips. Not only does mango smell, taste and look wonderful, it's also known for easily absorbing into the skin and its moisturising and healing properties so if you have chapped lips or dry lips, this formula would be perfect for you. My lips have become very dry recently - probably due to university stress - and I've been working this into my lips on a daily basis. It provides a lot of hydration but it doesn't sit on top of the lips, it sinks into them and leaves your lips feeling nourished all day long. I also love the colour of the tint as it means that I don't have to apply any lipstick throughout the day as this provides a beautiful colour that's perfect for day-to-day wear. I can definitely see why these lip butters are a cult and sought after item and I need to try out more of the flavours. You can buy the Mango Lip Butter for £8 here and view more Korres products (including the other lip butters) here.

Revlon Colorburst Collection including Lip Butters

I won the Lip Butters from Ysis at LeBeautyGirl and you should definitely check out her blog as she's one of my favourite bloggers! And when writing a post, I thought 'why not include my other Revlon Colorburst lip product?'
I don't think I can rave about the lip butters enough. They're really smooth, very pigmented and keep lips soft and moisturised throughout the day. They also last a long time to say how buttery soft they are. They look so beautiful on the lips and apply like a dream. The Colorburst lipsticks are nice.. great pigmentation and last a long time but they don't apply as smoothly as these lip butters do. Both the lip butters and the lipsticks retail for £7.99 which I personally believe is a bargain!

From these pictures you can see how well they apply. My lips look soft and smooth and if you compare these to my other lip swatches, you'll see a big difference!
Have you tried these lip butters yet? What's your favourite colour?
