First of all, $10 for a lip butter is pretty expensive. I only bought it because of the hype going on YouTube a while back. I have super pigmented lips, so it does go on pretty much clear for me. The main thing I really do like about this is the smell. It does last a long time on the lips and leaves a shiny finish. I like the texture, it's very smooth and creamy and it feels good when I put it on. It's not sticky at all. I do hate the fact I have to stick my finger into the jar. Honestly, this isn't moisturizing at all. I actually think this makes my lips even more dry. It just sits on my lips and don't do anything. A cheap lip balm at a drugstore can do a whole lot better job at moisturizing. I do use it time to time only because I don't want to waste it; but most of the time it just sits on my desk collecting dust. Don't waste your money on this product.

OVER HYPED. This does exactly what a lip butter should do, but for the price I can go buy a great lip balm and a nice more pigmented nude lipstick.

I thought this product was worth the price. It barely adds any color to my lips but it adds a really nice, nonsticky shine. It lasts longer than chapstick and smells/tastes very nice. I would buy this again and am willing to try the other colors.

My lips are also conditioned for long after it's worn off. The tub is quite small and easy to keep in my purse or pocket.

The color and smell is amazing. Texture is smooth and non sticky but does not blend into my lips. No matter how much I try to rub it in, it seems like it's just sits on top of my lips which makes it easy to rub off.

This is my first product I've tried from Korres, and I have to say I'm quite pleased. I like knowing my products are more naturally derived yet still perform how they should. I admit this product is pricy for a lip balm ($13 Cnd), but I had a discount to use, so why not give it a try. Well, I am glad I did. It has such a yummy cotton candy scent and it's very creamy and smooth to apply. I find it is non-sticky and moisturizes well. If I wear this under my MAC lipglasses it actually makes them feel less sticky. So all in all I really am happy with this. It also lasts a lot longer than I would have thought. So far two months and I have over half of it left.

Jasmine Lip Butter does what any lip balm should; it is moisturizing and softening, plus it ads a bit of nude pink color. My lips are not terribly pigmented, so if yours are maybe you won't get much color payoff. This was a very impulsive purchase (when will I learn?) and even though I think it's an OK product, I have to say it is not worth the price. I should have invested in a good nude lipstick for more color, or buy a cheaper balm that performs just as well as this one. Korres boasts with natural ingredients but this product doesn't contain that many. All things considered I would give it strong 3,5 lippies.

I bought two of these - Rose and Jasmine. They are both lovely colors and very nice products. The rose one is a gorgeous rosey red, but nicely sheer. The Jasmine one is a nice neutral pink. The formula is very nice - highly moisturizing, and surprisingly long wearing for a balm. However, the packaging is truly miserable. They're packaged in tubs. I was well aware of this, but the thing is the opening to the product is a little small, so it's kind of difficult to maneuver a finger in there without making a total mess. Also, if you have any kind of nails at all, it makes it even harder. My nails are not "harpy length" by any means, but I always seem to get balm under them, which is a little annoying. But, I'll stick it out, I do love these. They're nice to put on during the day when you're not in full makeup mode, but still want a little something more than chapstick.

This color looks amazing in the jar. It does had a little hint of color to my lips, but does not moisturize as well as my other lip balms, plus I dont like the fact it has NO SPF and that it is made in a jar which is unsanitary. It was okay when i bought it, but will not purchase it again.

I was so excited to try this product. I love lip balms. And I was really impressed! I don't think this product is drying at all. I think it moisturizes very well... plus is smells amazinggg. I can't decided exactly what the smell is, but it's something along the lines of caramel or vanilla. The only thing that is a little dissapointing is the color. In the pot it looks like a beautiful light pink/mauve color, but on my lips it goes on much lighter and can sometimes make me look washed out. I naturally have very red, pigmented lips to begin with so I don't think many other people will have this problem but I was just a little disappointed because all of the other colors seem a little too dark for my preference.

I have Korres Lip Butters in Jasmine and Plum and wear Jasmine much less than plum. Why I bought two of these when I don't favor lip products in pots is another story, but let's just say that the lure of the Korres gift pack reels me in every time. As a lip balm, Jasmine Lip Butter feels nice enough, but it's certainly not buttery in the sense of adding a lot of moisture or gleam. If your lips are in bad shape I would apply Aquaphor and call it a night. Don't expect any healing qualities for dry chapped lips from this. As a lip color, Jasmine is basically colorless with a very, very slight milky finish. It does make a nice base for applying lipliner without dragging and helps lipcolor apply smoothly. A number of reviewers commented on the caramel taste and scent of this product but my sniffer failed to pick up on these qualities. I wouldn't repurchase this by itself for $10.00, but if another one happened to pop up in a set sometime, I would use it as a base for lipstick.

I used up the entire pot and it took several months, so needless to say a lot of product comes in such a little pot. I used it daily. So I feel now I can write an honest review having testing it thoroughly. Positive: I love the smell, it reminds me of cookie dough. Very nice. It feels good on my lips, goes on smoothly and does not feel sticky. So why wouldn't I repurchase? Well, first the color payout is not great. It looks mauvey pink in the pot but goes on clear. Also, it feels moisturizing but ends up drying out my lips so I find myself reapplying constantly throughout the day. I used this product during the winter and felt as though it did not do a great job moisturizing my very dry and cracked lips. It's not an awful product, but for the price I would not recommend.

I was excited at first when i saw the color, but when I put it on it feels dry and you need alot of product for it to go on smoothly, where as the other color i have(pomegranate) needs a very small amount of product to go on smoothly. I wouldnt repurchase this color.

This is my first Lip Butter and I must say I am very disappointed in this product. I had very high hopes for this because of all the good reviews and raves I read here on MUA. I will stick to using boring old Aquaphor to keep my lips moisturized because this Lip Butter left my lips in a condition worst than they were before I applied it! It is sooo drying and left my lips flakey. Not to mention it's not even tinted. I will most definitely not buy this again, especially for $10 it's way overpriced for such a crummy product. Overall: totally skip this. It offers nothing as a lip balm, lip treatment, whatever.

I find it strange that this is categorized as a lip treatment and so many expect it to be so... I'm really not sure it was meant to be that. I always dab a little bit of chapstick on my lips before applying any lip color this product not excluded. What I love about this Jasmine Lip Butter though is the subtlety both in terms of color and in texture. It's very sheen and I think it's a nice nude for pairing with a dramatic (or neutral) eye . As a lip treatment it's not necessarily tops but it adds an amazing finishing touch as far as I'm concerned. You just need to properly exfoliate and lightly moisturize your lips beforehand to really get the most out of this product.

Nice lip balm, soft pink color if you have non pigmented lips but other than that nothing overly special. It does have a nice smell and taste... price point is okay too.

I have tried this product and I prefer MAC's tinted Lip Conditioner, plus MAC has better colors,as soon as you apply it you can feel it moisturizing your lips. I just wish both would package it so you can apply it easier.

I LOVE the feel of this stuff on my lips. So smooth and creamy without being greasy. I also love the nudeish color it gives my lips, without making me look dead. Just the slightest hint of blushing color. Makes my lips super soft. Just ordered my second from ebay as the price can get high. Its like a luxury for my lips and with results, soft lips!!

This lip butter (actually a wax & oil concoction), nothing buttery about it. Why does it contain an greyish/ashy tone in it? I mean colourless is one thing, but looking like a corpse is something else. The only thing I can think of is to mix it with some darker shade of lip cream. You have to dig your finger in for application, if the container is larger, I can just stamp it on my lips & smack.
The reason is being it comes with the jasmine body butter, which I am not too keen either.

I really don't understand what everyone on Youtube raves about. This product is just ok. The smell is nice but I was expecting something to knock me out the way people reviewed this product. This does ok moisturizing my lips. I use it at night but still have chapped lips the next day. I find that my regular ol' chapstick does just as well. Don't waste your money. Will not purchase again...
