While this lip floss does nothing for me as far as moisturizing goes, it also doesn't dry out my lips. It's not sticky (yay!) but does have a slightly greasy finish. It adds a nice pop of bright coral color, although it doesn't last more than a couple hours (even when I don't eat or drink). I can't apply this without a mirror, since the glaze is very pigmented. A nice product, but maybe not worth the $14 price tag considering how quickly it fades and the fact that it doesn't moisturize.

I love this lipbalm/gloss hybrid. It feels very nice on my lips, not sticky, doesn't add much moisture, but doesn't dry them out either. I prefer the thicker consistency over the lip butter as it stays on longer. Color is great on my NC42 skintone. Would definitely re-purchase.

I LOVE the color. It is a beautiful light orangy coral. On my pale skin, it is more interesting than just a nude, but it doesn't scream. However...it's really sticky & goopy and not very moisturizing. I put Aquaphor over it and that helped, but I just do not like the texture.

love , love, love the feel of these! Have a million glosses but these are the ones that are lately always in my makeup bag. I travel for a living and these are fantastic for chapped lips with great shine and color pay off. Also great just for a low key look at the beach!

THIS PRODUCT IS IN A TUBE, NOT A POT!!
Several of the negative reviews below are reviewing the POT, not the GLAZE - the glaze butter product comes in a tube and costs $14 while the pots cost $12. Different products.
With that said, I way prefer the tube to the pot. There is more pigment (see Temptalia's reviews and swatches), it's more sanitary, and it's more like a heavy gloss + butter hybrid. I really love all the colors I've tried (Pomegranate, Quince, Rose, Jasmine, a few more). It's a shame this product isn't getting reviewed properly because the GLAZES ARE AWESOME!

I like this, it is very moisturizing and non-sticky on me. Plus the tube is easy to apply to the lips. It is a bright coral/peachy color when you squeeze it out of the tube and it brightens up my lips without looking garish since the color is fairly sheer. One thing I like about it is that it doesn't have chunks of glitter in it. It smells like vanilla from the tube but on the lips it is flavorless.

I got a little travel size Lip Butter Glaze from Sephora (raspberry) which is perfect for travel, especially air travel which is very dehydrating. It is a lovely shade, and like other reviewers, I apply it to my finger then dab it on my lips. It is quite hydrating, although not quite as much as the Ecco Bella Rhubarb stick which has a moisturizer core (see my review). So if I were travelling to a tropical location, where I knew there was a high humidity, I would be content with the glaze, but if I were going somewhere dry, like the Rocky mountains, I would probably apply the Ecco Bella en route.
Happy trails!

I was looking for an MLBB-type product that would look both enlivening and natural and was steered towards this. I love the stuff in the pot, but hate digging about with grubby fingers. Most unsanitary. This seemed like a good compromise. Anyhow, in the shop mirror, this looked fine; however, on closer inspection in the bathroom mirror at home, it appeared gummy, uneven, line-accentuating, and....and...orange. I am a NW20 with freckles and blue eyes, and corally shades can look quite pleasing on me, but this honestly looked as if I had melted a road cone on top of the stove and slapped it on. Most disappointed was I, figuring I would again have to take another dud back to Sephora and admit shame and defeat, while the black-jacketed Sephora girls tut-tutted at the crazy impulse-buy lady. However, I had a stroke of inspiration. I mixed a little of this with a blob of Bigelow Ultra Mentha Lip Shine...voila! Perfect consistency! Enough rich warmth, and yet not overwhelming or fake. Now would I buy it again? No. Too thick and lurid on its own and not moisturizing enough. A shame, as I like Korres.

i have this in 'quince', suits me great. i also have it in 'pomegranate' but its a bit orange on me really
pretty moisturising but not amazing, also doesnt last too long. its been usurped as my go-to lip stuff by revlon lip butter, which also comes in a tube, so no more sticky fingers
LOVE the colour quince though, best thing about this little pot

I have this in wild rose and I love the way it feels in the strong red color that is still sheer. Perfect for a work lip or a party lip because the sheen isn't so shiny but the color is bold so it's a perfect match. The only thing I wish was that it was a tiny bit thicker. Otherwise, so far so good would buy again!

Having been obsessed with the lip butter, I thought the glaze would also be to my liking. However, it was way too sticky for me. Also, very overpriced.

I got this in Pomegranate and it is a gorgeous colour. It really is pretty. I also like that it is a squeeze applicator. That being said, I don't understand why the word 'very moisturizing' pops up in many of the reviews. There is nothing moisturizing about this product. It's sticky, tacky. The only way I can think of how to describe the stickiness... think of sucking on a lollipop and rolling it around your lips and wait for 5 secs before smacking em. Yeah... that sticky. Having to drag your hair away from your lips is so not sexy... especially when there's colourful streak marks across your cheek.
Perhaps the lip butters in the small circular containers are better, but I dont think that I'll be trying them out. The glaze turned me off.

Eh, to me these are not as good as the lip butter in the jar. They are okay but the formula is more of a glaze. I use the butter at night for moisturizing, I think this one might be more convenient on the go for a daytime tinted balm, but I prefer the other one overall.

I would say the packaging is cute and simple for on the go, the only con about this product is it's price. It's quite pricey. The pomegranate lip butter glaze is my favorite gloss of all time! It provides a really nice coral color to my lips and it also provides just enough shine! :) I usually don't like using lip glosses since I feel like it makes my lips look oily, but with the lip butter glaze, I don't feel that way. It moisturizes my lips as well! My lips look so plump and healthy! I love this and I'd totally repurchase! Definitely would like to try more shades~!

As far as Korres' comparable lip products go, I prefer the glaze to the lip butter. It's thicker in consistency, stays on my lips longer, and isn't as shiny. I don't really like using squeeze tubes, so I squeeze the product onto my ring finger and then dab on my lips, blot with a tissue to make it more of a stain, and top with any lip balm. The scent is soft and lovely, and I've gotten several complements from friends I've applied this in front of. I love this product and will repurchase in the future!

The only downside to this product, I think, is the expectations that come from being named a "Lip Butter Glaze." I'm a Korres Lip Butter fan, and upon hearing that they were coming out with the glazes (not in a pot, yay! in a squeezy tube, YAY!) I was jumping for joy. However, these really are NOT the same. They are very nice, moisturizing, pigmented glosses, but truly are NOT Lip Butters in a tube. My main disappointment comes from the fact that all Lip Butter Glazes (at least the ones I have -- Jasmine, Pomegranate, Quince, Raspberry) are all vanilla-scented. Had they kept the same scents as the Lip Butters, these would have been absolutely perfect.

I think these are great. I don't understand the negative reviews. My lips look pinker and fuller with this on. Its moisturizing, too.

I had hoped that the Korres lip glazes would be the same as the potted lip butters, except in a squeeze tube. I was wrong. This is a very different product. It is very thick and it applies heavily from the tube. It is also much more brightly pigmented. So it's heavy and bright and not very natural looking at all.
It has a nice scent and not any flavor to speak of. It leaves my lips feeling moisturized and soft. I'd love it if it didn't leave my lips looking like a goopy pink mess...But I was hoping for light and sheer. I was disappointed. I won't say it's a bad product, but it's certainly not the product I'd thought it would be.

I love Korres' pomegranate lip butter in the little pot. I love the tint, the formula, the lasting power, everything. As someone on an obsessive quest for the perfect tinted lip balm, that product was a wonderful find . . . except for the pot packaging, which I find extremely bulky, unhygienic, and irritating. I waited for a stick or tube version of the product to emerge with bated breath and was super excited when the lip butter glazes finally arrived in the US. I was sure that I would love this product and that it would be my trusty sidekick whenever I left the house. Well . . . not so much. I'm disappointed that this isn't the exact same formula as the pot version, since I love the gel-like slip of the potted balm. Instead, this is slightly stickier and heavier on the lips. Still, however, it feels quite nice, lasts a long time, and I love the slight vanilla scent of these products even more than the fruity pomegranate scent of the potted version. BUT, I have a major issue with the application and tint of the product. The squeeze tube and plastic slanted tip applicator make it difficult to get a smooth application of the product, and, what makes me most disappointed, is that this product is far more pigmented than the potted version. Maybe others will like this. Maybe it's just a question of using more product due to the packaging. But this tints my lips far more coral-red than I would like. While the potted version offers a sheer, subtle pop of natural color, this product is goopier, heavier, and far more obvious on my lips. I wear it over a balm to use it up and this looks nice, but I feel like I can layer any pinkish-coral lipstick over balm and get the same effect. Overall, this product is decent, but, given the potential and my expectations, I'm disappointed and won't repurchase.
