I've documented my love towards Korres lip butters on several occasions and you perhaps can remember the Pomegranate lip butter post from last year. Ever since, I've purchased the Jasmine and Wild Rose hues out of which the first I've almost used up entirely whilst the latter never got much use as it's only the A/W kind of beauty item for me. I'll probably purchase another pot of Jasmine since it's my most used lip balm ever and I'm eyeing Quince, Mango and Guava for a long, long time. Ramblings aside, this after all is a review (overdue, I admit) and there's just something about Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose that makes me think of Autumn instantly. I am well aware that lip balms in pots aren't everyone's thang and I can see how fingers while you're on the go aren't always necessarily clean per se but a bottle of antibacterial gel and a pack of antibacterial wipes sure help. In all honesty, I'll probably use my Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector if I'm using public transport of if I forgot my antibacterial kit or if there's nowhere to wash my hands. However, when I'm at work or at home I'll mostly use one of my Korres lovelies.
Dokumentovala sam svoju ljubav spram Korres brenda u par navrata i mozda se cak sjecate recenzije od prosle godine kada sam recenzirala butter za usne u nijansi Pomegranate. Od tada sam nabavila nijanse Jasmine i Wild Rose od kojih sam prvu skoro pa potrosila dok ce druga tek sada da dobije paznju koju zasluzuje. Moze se reci da je Wild Rose cekala jesen posto je u potpunosti vidim kao sezonsku mazalicu za usne. Vjerovatno cu nabaviti novo, svjeze pakovanje Jasmine ali i nijanse Quince, Mango te Guava koje drzim na oku vec neko vrijeme. Ova recenzija se davno trebala realizovati ali i sada je dobro vrijeme jer, kao sto sam spomenula – Korres butter za usne u nijansi Wild Rose me neodoljivo podsjeca na jesen koja nam je stigla. Svjesna sam da sve dame i nisu ljubiteljice balzama u ovom pakovanju zbog upotrebe prstica no tome sam doskocila antibakterijskim gelom i maramicama. Naravno da to nije idealno rjesenje posto je tesko odrzavati prstice u potpunosti cistim kada smo izvan kuce. Istinu govoreci, kada sam u javnom prevozu ili uopsteno kada obavljam neke obaveze, najvjerovatnije cu koristiti Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. Takodjer mi je zgodniji ako sam zaboravila antibakterijski gel/maramice ili jednostavno nemam u tom trenu dostupan toalet gdje bih oprala ruke. Ipak, ako sam kuci ili na poslu, Korres mazalice su mi omiljene.
The unusual bouncy, gel-like texture of this lip butter is very addictive and even though I wouldn't associate a gel-like texture to heavy hydration, somehow Korres achieved to connect the two. Besides being light on the lips and completely non-oily, these lip butters pack a serious punch when it comes to nourishment. If Nuxe Reve de Miel is my fave overnight lip treatment, Korres is my lip treatment of choice during daytime. I always apply some prior to applying a lipstick as it smoothes, hydrates and plumps my lips in under 2 minutes. Very effective and very easy on the eyes. The packaging is so, so cute and reminds me of candy or cookies with a gooey filling in the middle. These also last for a long time as Jasmine has lasted me for almost a year of intense everyday use. Wild Rose is special in the way that it appears so dark in the pot but it goes as a moisturizing, semi-sheer tint on the lips. You can build this burgundy red hue from very sheer to semi-opaque and I think it looks lovely.
Neobicna gelasta pa skoro pjenasta tekstura ovog buttera za usne je jako prijatna i lako se ‘navuci’ na nju. Iako ne bih asocirala gelastu teksturu sa necim sto pruza intenzivnu hidrataciju, Korres je uspio povezati te dvije nespojive stvari. Osim sto je lagan na usnama i ne osjecate bilo kakvu tezinu, istinski ih njeguje i hrani sto se posebno cijeni tokom hladnijih mjeseci. Ako mi je Nuxe Reve de Miel omiljeni nocni tretman za usne, Korres mazalice su omiljena dnevna varijanta. Uvijek ih nanosim prije ruza za usne posto zagladjuju, hrane i cine usne punijima za manje od 2 minute. Izuzetno su efektni ali i prijatan prizor. Podsjecaju me na bombonice i slatkise sa tecnim filom u sredini. Takodjer traju jako dugo vremena sto mozemo zakljuciti po Jasmine nijansi koja mi traje skoro godinu dana uz intenzivnu, svakodnevnu upotrebu. Wild Rose nijansa je pak posebna posto djeluje tako tamno u pakovanju no na usnama se pretvara u hidratantni, poluprozirant tint. Ovu bordo crvenu nijansu mozete nanijeti od prozirnog finisa i nadograditi je do srednje prekrivnosti. Ovo je jedno prosto ali ocaravajuce zadovoljstvo.
