KORRES Lip Butter – Guava

Brand: Korres
Range: Lip Butter
Flavour: Guava
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

  • Read my previous review of the Korres Lip Butter formula here.
  • Guava is a milky lip butter in guava scent, formulated without synthetic fragrances
  • As with all Korres products, they are formulated without mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol and ethanolamine.
  • Verdict: Recommended for those that want to add a milky finish to their lips, or want a colourless option for night time.  In my opinion, Korres Lip Butters are one of those must-try-in-your-lifetime lip balms especially for lip enthusiasts.

Brand: Korres
Range: Mango Butter Lipstick SPF 10
Shade: Pink #14
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

  • Available in 11 shades, Korres describes their lipsticks as a “rich intense colour with a high shine and wet look” but I would describe it as a  a moisturising tinted lipstick.  It’s more pigmented than the usual lip tints, but sheerer and glossier than lipsticks.
  • Contains Mango Butter,  Vitamin C and E to moisturise & nourish lips
  • Dupe: The formula reminds me of Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipsticks.
  • Verdict: If you love pigmented lip colour but struggle with thick formulas, definitely worth trying this formula as it’s so wearable given the sheer finish. Personally I prefer this buttery formula over liquid lip tints which often requires blending with fingers.

 See what I mean by a pigmented yet tinted finish?
 Dermatologically tested and free of mineral oil, silicones, propylene glycol & ethanolamine.

KORRES Lip Butter – Wild Rose

Brand: Korres
Range: Lip Butter
Shade: Wild Rose (Sheer Deep Red)
Swatched by yours truly: akisa
Available at Sephora, KitCosmetics (Australia)

What they say:
A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of Shea butter and Rice wax offers deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips.

  • Texture: Buttery & smooth. Lips feel softened once absorbed.
  • Hydration: Medium when compared to heavyweight champions like Dr Lipp’s Nipple Cream.
  • Tint: I’m surprised by how wearable it is. My lips have gone a bit pale in winter, so this helps bring back some colour instantly.
  • Flavour: The rose flavour is not overly sweet. No synthetic fragrance= BIG TICK.
  • The only down side is: I prefer stick-balms / tubes for day, and pots only when I’m at home, so I have to be vigilant with hygiene when using this outside. Korres also have a “Lip Butter Stick” which I can’t wait to try.


Dermatologically Tested.
Free of mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol, ethanolamine.
Sephora describes it as ‘deep red’ but it’s kind of berry to me?
