Review: Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter

Hey Lovelies

I wanted to share with you today my thoughts on this Korres Lip Butter in the shade/flavour pomegranate. I purchased this while on my holiday at a discount beauty store for only $5 AUD. I have seen these on ASOS for around $15 AUD before so I was surprised to see them so cheap. I was unsure whether it was fake or old or something along those lines but I figured it was worth trying for just $5. And I am so glad that I did.

The packaging is a plastic pot with a screw on lid, not the most hygienic of products so I would never take mine out in my handbag because I would prefer to use it at home when I have clean hands and can wash my hands after using it. There seems to be a decent amount of product inside so I think that this will last me a while as long as it stays clean. 

I actually really love this lip butter. I find it is very mositurising and doesn't leave me with dried up patches later like a lot of other lip products do to me. It also leaves a nice pinky/red tint to my lips and also a bit of a glossy look. I do love this product but I am not sure if I would pay the full $15 for it!

January Favourites

Hey Lovelies

It is that time of month again where I share with you my favourites. This month is all beauty related, surprise surprise! My skin has been really horrible lately so I cant say that I have been enjoying using any of my products. I also recently got a haircut so I am still experimenting with my hair and will probably need to purchase some new hair styling products as I never really felt the need to use anything with my old hair style. Onto my most loved things of the month!

Korres Lip Butter

I purchased this only in January and I have been absolutely loving it. I do have a blog post coming on it soon. But mainly it moisturises my lips whilst also adding a lovely my lips but better colour. I purchased mine at a discount beauty store but I know that you can get this on ASOS for $15.50 AU (currently on sale). 

Models Prefer Soft Touch Mineral Powder

I absolutely love this powder, it has now become my daily setting powder and has completely smashed my Rimmel Stay Matte and Nude By Nature Finishing Veil out of the competition. This adds a lovely blurred photoshop finish to my makeup. I own two out of the three shades but soft focus is definitely my favourite of the two. These retail for $16.99 AU at Priceline. 

OXX Eye quad

Sadly I do not have a lot of information on this product as it is not listed on any websites and doesn't even have a shade name! I purchased this from Kmart for $2 AU and I believe it is Kmart's own beauty range called, OXX, in which everything is $2. I was not expecting a lot from this $2 quad but all of the shades are very pigmented and quite a soft blendable texture. The packaging is nothing special but perfect for travel. 

Topshop Blush

I purchased this blush for $10 AU in I believe Topshop's end of year clearance sale. I really love this blush, I have two shades, this one is Do It Again which is quite a wearable shimmery peachy pink. This is quite pigmented so I make sure to use a fluffy brush and dust off any excess. 

Daiso High Curling Mascara

I purchased this mascara on a whim whilst in Daiso in Melbourne. I was so amazed by the entire store so I kind of got swept up and purchased a lot of stuff. I have been using this mascara almost every day since I got it. It is my perfect every day mascara, no clumping whatsoever and adds subtle length to my stubby lashes. I am not sure about their claim of high curling however, I just find this adds length but does nothing whatsoever about curling my lashes. Being from Daiso this was $2.80 AU. 

What have you been loving this month?

Wishing For #01

While you are on a limited spending budget, you tend to end up lusting over and wishing for a long list of things. I decided to start a post so I can share with you want I have been wanting, maybe you guys will have some insight on whether or not the items are worth it, and mainly just to keep an online list of everything I am after. Now for the wishlist..

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder

This beautiful creation is from the Body Shop and is fairly popular with UK bloggers, which is how I discovered the product. This retails for $28.95 AU which I don't think is unreasonable as I expect this product would last me quite a while. I am currently using a sample bronzer I received in a Clarins gift bag, as my other Australias bronzer was way too dark for me. This has been on my wish list for a few months now so I do plan on eventually purchasing this, when I am no longer on a spending ban. 

Revlon Highlighting Palette

This palette has yet to be released in Australia, so I may have to search eBay in order to grab this for myself. It is an absolutely gorgeous shimmer brick style highlighter which looks reminiscent to the lovely offering by Bobbi Brown. In the US it is available in three shades, Peach Glow, Bronze Glow, and Rose Glow (pictured). The retail for $9.59 US on the Target online website, it would of course be a lot more expensive than that if this product is released in Australia. 

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch

I only use a cheap mattifying primer from Loreal currently, I am still not sure whether or not it actually does much to keep my foundation staying longer or whether it actually keeps my skin oil free. I have heard really good reviews and considered getting this primer for Christmas but I already had so many other things I wanted so I left this out of my Christmas wish list. I am really regretting my decision and this has since stayed on my wish list. This retails for $38 AU in Myer but you can get this from adorebeauty for $31.92. 

Korres Mango Lip Butter

I have had this lip butter on my feel unique wish list for quite a while now. It is $16 AU which seems quite expensive for just a lip balm type product, which is why it hasnt been put in my basket just yet. I have heard many good things about these Korres lip butters, they come in a range of flavours, and I would be happy to try any of them, but I just have a weakness for mangoes. The packaging does not really remind me of mangoes but looks very lovely and vibrant nonetheless. This may have to stay in my wish list for a while longer though as I am not quite ready to part with so much for a lip butter. 

I have recently bought a few items that I will be reviewing soon that have been on my wish list, I am excited to test them all out. I just hope they live up to my expectations! I also have a few more things I am wanting, mainly home items as we will soon have some more room in our house so the spaces must be filled with beautiful things. Another Ikea trip will be coming up soon I foresee. 

What have you got on your wish list?
