I purchased the package of lip butters, pomegranate, wild rose, and jasmine. I like this best of all because it is so sheer, it does tone down my lips a bit but does not look obvious at all. I was afraid it would look odd and milky, but it really doesn't and blends beautifully with my natural lip color for when I feel like wearing it during the day. I just adore how soft this makes my lips, I use it a lot at night because out of all three colours this definitely wouldn't stain my pillow case if I rolled over in my sleep, haha. I tend to look at it as more of a treatment than an actual lip color product, personally. I love that it is a pretty natural product and made without a lot icky chemicals, too. :)

I bought three Korres lip butters from Sephora on sale, and this one is my favorite. It's very smooth and silky, not tacky at all, which is a huge peeve of mine. I wear a lot of black eye makeup most days, and like a very understated mouth, and this is perfect for that. I would suggest applying a bit of balm with SPF first, as this does not contain any. Also, I wish it came in a tube!

I love the Korres lip butters. When I was in Greece a few months ago though I saw that they actually have the lip butters in a tube formula as opposed to the tub, and I bought several because it's definitely more hygenic. They only have the tubs in the Sephoras here in Ontario, as well as the Sephora website from what I can find, so I can only hope that they'll eventually come here!

However, the fact that this lip butter is in a tub doesn't stop me from using it. The colour payoff is good, and the texture is gorgeous - nice and soft, not waxy or sticky. I find them not to be extremely longlasting, but still decent enough.

I also have the Wild Rose lip butter in the tub as well - I'm considering getting more, because they really are lovely.

Korres Jasmine Lip Butter is touted as a moisturizing balm that gives the lips a shine and smooth texture. I have to agree that when this product is on the lips, it feels very comfortable--not greasy at all, not too thin or waxy, very smooth, almost kind of like a cushy feeling. It also smells great--kind of like carmel. Sadly there is no taste, but just the smell alone partly (emphasis on partly) curbs my sweet tooth.


While other Lip Butters are more pigmented, Jasmine is a soft nude pink in the jar and does not provide much pigment on the lips. It ever so slightly mutes my pigmented lips. A little smeared on the lips a couple minutes before lipstick application in order to soften and condition them would be a great use for this product.


The thing that keeps this product from getting the 3-4 star rating it could potentially have is the fact that it fades very quickly compared to some other balms I've used (Aquaphor, Rose Bud Salve, LUSH Honey Trap). I don't get more than an hour's use out of one application. Also, I feel the moisturizing effects really don't last. I don't even like using this as an overnight treatment because it's simply not effective. By the morning the stuff has completely worn off and my lips are just as dry as they were the day before. However, when I use the Aquaphor, RBS or LUSH HT my lips are moisturized and happy in the morning and the effect lasts after regularly doing this.


All in all I would not rebuy because it's simply not moisturizing at all. It smells very good and feels good on the lips, but I need a $10 balm to do more than that for me, particularly in the winter months when my lips are always parched.

Moisturize well, easy to apply, not sticky, a light/sheet pink tint but a little over-hyped. I think it's overpriced also. I don't particularly like the smell- it's like a sweet buttery scent. I much prefer the Pomegranate one to this.

Wanted to try this after Sephora discontinued their own FACE lip balm. Price was reasonable and I liked that Korres line is supposed to be very natural. I bought the jasmine one.

I really, really wanted to like this. It feels nice on, but it does NOT look good. It settled into the lines of my lips (and I have normal lips, fairly smooth) and made them look dry and awful even though they weren't. It didn't last overall, just in the spots it settled into. I will be returning it to Sephora.

I got this as a part of the Lip Saver Roll from Sephora and this was my favorite color of the three (the other two were Pomegrantate and Wild Rose). The texture is nice, not at all sticky; the color is a pinkish brown nude and there is a light and inoffensive scent. The amount of product in the pot will probably last awhile, but I feel that the Korres Lip Butters are over-hyped. It's just an average lip moisturizer with a bit of color in it and it has to be reapplied too often. Chapstick or Vaseline and a colored lip product over the top would give you the same results and would be cheaper too. I am just glad I got the whole set for $19.50 because these retail for $10 individually.

Love this stuff. It can make me look washed out if I'm not careful, but if I do my eyes right and have some blush on, it's a pretty nice nude lip. Lasts a loooong time and it feels so nice. Very moisturizing.

I received this for a birthday present, and I like it way more than I expected to. It's really soft and buttery, with a consistency, well, like butter!
For a bit of background information: Because of the metal in my braces, I have extremely sensitive lips. To the point where, at points, I have had to go to various doctors to get a variety of pills and creams. They would swell and itch to to the point where they would be up to three times their normal size, and I would have to hold ice on them. It was horrible. They have since calmed down, but my lips are still sensitive. I can only use Aquafor on them.
However, my sister got me this, and it is awesome. It is formulated without; parabens,sulfates synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, GMOs, and silicones. Impressive for any product.
It doesn't bother my lips at all, and no one has lips more sensitive than mine.
I have bright pink lips naturally, and this gives me a wonderful pinky-nude glossy look that I can apply without a mirror.
The only reason it gets 4 lippies is because I feel like it can be a bit too waxy if you put on too much, and the packaging. I would rather it be in a Fresh Sugar lip balm style tube, because I hate getting germs into the pot. I always sanitize before I apply it, and that's annoying.
Other than that, I love the thing! At only $10, it is worth the hype!

Like many others, I purchased this in the 3 pack that came with the pomengranate and wild rose. And though I love all of them, I'd say that I use this one the most. Jasmine has a very light and sweet scent, and it doesn't taste or feel funny or anything like that. Although this is "tinted," it doesn't show up on my lips (my lips are pretty pigmented) so I don't use it during the day. But, this is HG status for me because I use it before I go to bed. Before I lay down, I slather on about 1-2 coats of this stuff on my lips. It feels so smooth and smells delicious. In the morning when I wake up, my lips have completely absorbed it and they are extremely soft and very plump! I can't go one night without using this stuff or else I wake up to lips so dry I can't even wear lipstick that day. I also don't mind the packaging; I know that no one else is gonna dip their nasty dirty fingers in my lip butter :] I know you'd probably think a lipbalm is just a lipbalm and choose not to spend lots of money on it, and I am the same way, but this is one of my luxury items that I never want to be without because the job it performs is phenomenal.

I love all the Korres lip butters but this one is probably my favorite. It has a great fragrance and a nice slight pink tint to it that looks very natural and pretty on the lips. These butters are great, they really melt into your lips and feel so moisturizing. Another one of my HG items from Korres!

I ADORE this product and have recommended it to everyone! I have Jasmine and Wild Rose, and can't wait to purchase the other colors. I have tried countless amounts of different lip balms to heal my chapped lips and NOTHING has worked for me... even the $22.50 Sugar lip balm I purchased. Lip Butter has healed my lips and made them so soft! I'm not a big fan of the packaging but at only $10/butter, I'll suffer through it for this wonderful product =)

Jasmine lip butter from Korres serves it's purpose for me. I mainly use it as a lip balm treatment anytime my lips feel "Sahara desert" dry, which is most of the time. As I live in a harsh climate environment, it takes it's toll on my skin, So my lips need all the TLC they could get!
I have so many lip balms/treatments lying around, as I do need to reapply these quite often. I admit, I am a balmaholic, but enough about that, let's get back to this one pretty pink jar of Korres Jasmine Butter. I like it a lot, it feels so buttery soft, yet not mushy soft... it moisturizes and hydrates, and even leaves a little tint behind, But! All the hydration from this little butter lasts on my lips for no more than 10 min. after applying a fresh coat. My lips seems to soak all the moisture, so that not much hydration is left from my pink jar of Jasmine butter.
I find the fact that I need to reapply it so often does not leave me much choice of rating it beyond three pretty mua lipsticks.
I find the packaging so cute, yet I still prefer my squeeze tubes over it, I guess for practical reasons. Would I repurchase? Maybe, or maybe not.

I have very pigmented lips so I had actually bought this on a whim since I had never really thought it would show up on my lips. Yeah, I was wrong. It gives me that subtle pink nude look which I love. If I can't decide what to do for makeup or I'm in a hurry for work, I just whip this on with a winged out liner look and voila! It's perfect. Korres, if you're listening, please don't discontinue this product. I need it :)

I got this in a three pack from Sephora (came with pomegranate and wild rose) I really like Jasmine. The texture really is like butter. In the jar its a light dusty pink with a hint of brown color that I was sure would just go clear on my pigmented lips. Boy was I wrong. Its actually neutralized some of my natural color leaving a great nude pink. It would be great paired with smokey eyes or just an everyday look.

This is a great lip butter. I love the color and the smell. This is a really sheer pink. It doesn't show much on my lips but I don't mind. I like the texture of it. I just don't like anything in a jar. Would definitely buy this again if the price is cheaper and if it comes in a tube.

Bought this in one of Sephora's value packs (3 full size korres lip butters - jasmine, wild rose and pomegranate - for $19.50, amazing deal, esp w/ a FF sale).

I have to say I'm very impressed with this. It's like a MAC lip conditioner except better. It does have a similar consistency to MAC's but I think it's creamier and more buttery. It's not so soft that your finger dents it though (unless you're really pressing hard) which is good. I went into this being a little skeptical since I've bought plenty of hyped up things before just to be very disappointed...not this time though! :)

I really like the color - a neutral, warm, pink - but I didn't think it would show up on my lips at all since my lips are kind of pigmented. With a single layer it really doesn't show up but if I put two layers on I absolutely love it. It's sheer (obviously) but it kind of evens out my lip color (if that even makes sense) and makes them look 'done' (I don't know if that makes sense either). It addes the slightest sheen as well which makes my lips look more full and plump. It's a very flattering lip product.

Aside from the way it made my lips look, it made them feel great! This is SO moisturizing and not at all waxy, I do NOT like waxy lip balms. If you like waxy lip balms (ie: if burt's bee's your favorite) I don't know if you're going to like this because it is not at all waxy. It's just really moisturizing and as it fades my lips don't feel dry.

As far as the smell...unless I hold it up to my nose, I don't smell anything. When I do, I smell something that could be floral? I don't like it though, but like I said, I can't smell it unless I'm actually sniffing the tub.

Buttery, creamy and smooth. Definitely recommed this, it's worth the hype.

Buy the $19.50 value pack at Sephora's. These are normally $10 which is pretty expensive and I figure if you buy the value pack and don't like it you can always give the other unused ones away.

Did not like for a few reasons. 1. the color will NOT show up on even medium pigmented lips its too sheer. 2.It moisturized my lips for about a half hour and then my lips got dry again. 3. Packaging sucks because once you use a fair amount of it, when you dig in to get some it gets all in your nails. Drug store chapsticks are better than this!

I heart this. Dipping my finger into the pot makes me happy because of the squishy texture of the lip butter. When I put it on, it smells and tastes great! Sort of bready-floral, just yummy. Makes your lips look straight-up FAT! And pinky, and glowy. So good. I buy extras of this product.

It makes your lips luscious and irresistible. I swear.

I absolutely love these Korres lip butters. Guava was my first one and I'm now using the Jasmine lip butter because I like these so much. I'm very picky about lip balms and I think these are fantastic. They feel SO good when you first put them on, and I find that they really sink into my lips. They smell great too. I do wish these had a stronger tint though, because I find that Guava and Jasmine both tend to blend right into my natural lip color. It would be more convenient if these came in a tube form, however that might change the formula too much, and I like it as it is. I think these lip butters are worth $10. You can get something that moisturizers just as well from the drugstore, but there are a lot of weird ingredients in those and these lip butters are vegan, which is nice. They feel very lightweight when you hold the pot, but the product lasts a long time even if you use it every day. I highly recommend these and I'll keep purchasing them as long as they're made!
