I was standing in line with a handful of products at Sephora recently when I came across a small yet noticeable display of Korres lip products on the counter. Each product was on sale for $8, which is a comfortable number – not too cheap to seem unattractive but also not expensive enough to dismiss.  The tricky tempting strategy worked, and I spontaneously purchased two products—a lip butter and a lipstick.

Korres Mango Butter Lipstick in Peach 18 ($18 on Sephora.com and korresusa.com)

An amazing product! Korres Mango Butter Lipstick makes wearing lipstick enjoyable which seems to be a difficult endeavor. The lipstick goes on smoothly. It has a great consistency – smooth and shimmery but not drying. The product independently creates a colorful shine. With SPF 10, it is a perfect beach pick.  In terms of the shade, Peach18  is perfect for summer and it is a universally flattering hue. A deep blend of coral and watermelon with bits of gold shimmer complement a great range of looks. This lipstick is a great investment in your makeup collection!

Korres Lip Butter Pomegranate – $8.00 on sale at Sephora. I also like to use this product as a blush – use your middle finger to pick up some of the butter and then dab it on your cheeks. It will seriously look like you just worked out for an hour. Love it! So pretty and healthy!

I will  be repurchasing both of these products – even if they are at the normal price… :)

P.S. My awesome experience with korres led me to purchase more of their products: primer, tinted moisturizer & bronzer – I will review each soon!
