Korres Lipgloss Trio


I love my Korres lipwear... the lip butter, lipsticks... and this Cherry Full Color Gloss which is my favorite gloss. When I was in Sephora recently checking out some Benefit, I noticed this collection in three shades: #33 Nude, #25 Natural Purple (don't worry - not purple purple), and #54 Fuchsia, priced at $19.50. They are the same .20 oz size as the singles that sell for $17 each.

The Nude and Purple are very natural-looking shades on my lips. The Fuchsia I was a little concerned about at first - but when I tried it on today, I found that it is a very pretty pink that adds a nice amount of bright while still being appropriate for daytime (and my lifestyle). I picture it being a great shade this Spring and Summer with all the happy, brighter florals from brands like Lilly and Liberty for Target that I plan to be wearing.

L-R: #25 Natural Purple, #33 Nude, #54 Fuchsia

For me, this gloss has just the right amount of shine and color, and it feels great on my lips - moisturizing - not sticky or tacky. I often wear it alone or over my Burts Bees, but also over lipstick. And I love the fact that it contains cherry oil and jojoba oil and doesn't contain any parabens, sulfates, or petrochemicals... who wants to end up eating that?!

I have a few more reviews - Old Navy, ATL, a bit more Liberty, more Sephora goodies... and I even plan to cook on Sunday, so hopefully will have a new recipe up soon... just need to work in the time to get it all together! We're almost to the weekend!

  3. Those really are great colors. I agree about the parabens, etc. Very nice that those are excluded! Does it stay on very well?

  4. I was thinking about those Korres glosses bc I found a color online I really liked and was going to check it on at Sephora. Thanks for the review bc I think I will probably end up getting it knowing they are not sticky! That's the worst!

  5. Thanks for the info! I'm all for tinted lipglosses since I have perpetually dried lips and I like the subtle hints of color. This goes on my must-try list.

  6. I went on a "lip gloss buying ban", because I had lipgloss in every nook and cranny of my house, car, purse, pockets, etc.! Now I'm finally at the point I need to purchase some! Oh happy day! These look like great ones to try, I love the subtle color and shine.

  7. hostess and fallonroxann - thanks for stopping by!
    Lipstick - it isn't that long lasting - typical for a gloss I think. I put some on around 8am, sipped coffee and ate a scone and I don't see it anymore now at 11:30 - but my lips do still feel kind of soft/moisturized from the earlier application which is nice.
    Pamela & Lisa - thanks - hope you really like them if you try!
    Jillle - yay! Have fun shopping :)
