Korres Lip Butter

In my everyday make up routine post I mentioned that I would be posting a review of my Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine. 

I can get slightly dry lips at times and the only lip balm I have ever found that works for me is Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant. Now this is fairly pricey at £20 (even though it is amazing) so I am always on the search for a reasonable price lip balm that works. After hearing a couple of great reviews on the Korres Lip Butter I decided to give it a go!

The colour I bought is Jasmine which is a lovely light nude, pink colour. There is a slight scent to this but it truly is very slight - I really have to sniff to smell it!

When I first used this it just melted onto my finger and I was surprised at how soft and buttery this was. Hopefully you can see from the photos how creamy it is! Some lip balms that are in pots I really have to rub at to get any product onto my finger because they aren't very soft and creamy. This lip butter moisturises my lips so well and leaves them smooth, soft and with a lovely hint of colour. This is honestly the best (yes, THE best) tinted lip balm I have ever used!

There are quite a few different colours available as well so hopefully there will be a colour for you!

This is available here for £7!

Have you tried this lip butter? What is your favourite lip balm?

My Everyday Make Up Routine!

This is my 50th post and I thought I would make it a little bit special by writing about my make up routine! I review lots of products on my blog, so I thought a make up routine would be a fab post as you will get to see which products I rely on and use on a daily basis!

Just a little note, I love all these products dearly so a lot of them already have full reviews. If I haven't written a lot about a product here then it's probably because I have a full review on it already and I will link the product name to the review!

To start with, I always always use a primer. I get slightly oily down the centre of my face so a primer is great as it stops me looking so shiny and helps my make up last all day. I have tried a few different primers and hands down, my absolute favourite is the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer. This primer is absolutely amazing! It is so silky, creamy, my foundation blends smoothly over the top and my make up lasts all day.

Next is foundation! I have a couple of favourite foundations that I switch between depending on whether my skin is behaving well or not. My go to foundation at the moment however is the YSL Touche Eclat foundation. It is a very lightweight foundation that leaves a dewy, natural, light coverage to the skin - absolute perfection!

After foundation I use Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer. I have gone through 3 tubes of this concealer and I love it (obviously)! It effortlessly covers any blemishes or discolouration I have on my skin. It never ever looks cakey or dry, it just smooths over any blemishes, covers them instantly and stays put all day! What more could I ask for! The shade range isn't that great with only four shades but if there is a shade to suit you I would definitely recommend trying this concealer! 

I next use my YSL Touche Eclat highligher pen! I use this underneath my eyes and around my nose. It highlights these areas and is very radiant and light reflecting. This product gets a lot of hype and I have to say, it deserves every bit of it!

On a daily basis I don't wear eye shadow. All I do to my eyes is curl my lashes using my Shu Uemura eyelash curler and then apply my L'Oreal Telescopic waterproof mascara. The combination of these two steps makes my eyelashes look amazing (if I do say so myself!) and my eyes stand out, without the need of eye liner or eye shadow which is great on a daily basis.

Moving back to the skin, I next powder my forehead, nose and chin using Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural. This powder is lovely to use as it is really light and doesn't look or feel cakey or powdery! My skin is left looking natural and radiant which is lovely.

On a daily basis I don't tend to use bronzer, however I am starting to use it more and my favourite is Clarins Bronzing Duo. It is a gorgeous natural colour that leaves my pale skin looking healthy and sun kissed!

For blusher I have two that I tend to switch between. They are Mac Well Dressed which is a pure pink colour with subtle shimmer and Nars Deep Throat which is a pink, peach colour also with subtle shimmer. I just apply my blusher to the apples of my cheeks and both of these leave a healthy, radiant colour.

Finally for lips I wear my Clarins Instant Lip Perfector in 01, Rose Shimmer. This is a pretty pink colour that feels as though it just melts into my lips leaving them hydrated and moisturised. I have recently bought the Korres lip butter in Jasmine and I am going to be writing a full review on this very soon as it is creeping it's way into my everyday make up routine!


That is my make up routine! I hope you enjoyed this post!
