Fall/Winter Lip: Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Raspberry

While Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten is definitely my favourite Berry lip of all time there was a spate when I had an allergic reaction to something (possibly shellfish) and had peely lips. Now, peely lips and stains do not work well together, so I fell back on this tube of yumminess to keep my lips berry stained and pretty.

I was amazed at how pigmented Korres' Lip Glaze was and how long it lasted. I found that I could lay down a stain by really working it in with a brush, top off with a balm and then touch up during the day to keep it glossy. It will last through a light meal but not a greasy one.

It really is beautifully moisturising and leaves a glossy stain - not lipgloss like mind, more like stained lips with a layer of lip balm over. It works well on bare lips but I found that with my lips in in the sorry condition they were they did need a bit more help with an added layer of lipbalm.

By the way it doesn't smell of raspberry, instead it smells like cocoa butter or fain vanilla - which may be off putting to some but in winter the warm gourmet scent doesn't bother me!

Shade wise it's a really lovely bright red berry (I think it looks warmer than this image - office lights corpsify everyone):

I'm keeping this handy for when my lips want some colour and moisture this winter.

I bought it for about HKD98 on Strawberrynet.com
