I've always been a lip balm junkie. My first makeup memories are of collecting Lip Smackers like my life depended on it. Seriously, I probably chucked out 50 of them only a few years back. And now, even though I'm more drawn to lipstick and gloss, I still keep a few good lip balms in my stash.
Korres is one of my favourite cosmetics brands out there. They make quality products using natural ingredients, so I feel good about using them. Their original Lip Butters, housed in tiny pots, have cult status amongst makeup junkies. I believe it was last year that Korres finally smartened up and released their Lip Butter Glaze formula, finally in tubes!
Comparing the two formulas, the Lip Butter Glaze is a bit more slick and lighter than the Lip Butter, but equally moisturizing. It has to be less thick so it can be dispensed in a tube. Another difference is the taste/smell. Original Lip Butters each have a unique smell because of their flavours. The Lip Butter Glazes are lacking unique scents and all smell very sweet. If you don't mind a sweet lip balm, then this won't bother you, but the scent is noticeably different from all the original Lip Butters.
I have three Lip Butter Glazes (so far) and find myself using them all the time.
(L-R: Jasmine, Pomegranate, Quince)
As you can see, the Lip Butter Glazes are just as pigmented as their precursors, delivering a nice shot of colour while moisturizing. My favourite is definitely Quince; it's a perfect everyday pink for my pigmented lips.
I really love the Lip Butter Glazes from Korres, not only because of their convenient tube-design, but also a top-notch formula!
Do you have any Lip Butters or Lip Butter Glazes? What do you prefer?
