Korres Lip Butter

Korres Lip Butter loves your lips naturally!

Ah, I am in love! There is no better lip balm than Korres Lip Butter it literally melts into your lips. I have been recently having a hard time with some of the petroleum based lip balms on the market many which leave a yucky residue on my lips; with this Korres product I have no such problem. What’s even better than the creamy, lush texture (literally like butter), is that Korres is all natural as with all this Greek companies products. All but one of the four lip butters has a slight tint to them (they flatter all skin tones) and there is no overpowering fragrance, or flavoring to deal with which means it’s also great for the men in your life. One warning which made this a 8 instead of a 10 star, the Guava formulation leaves a white tint on the lips which is totally unsexy!

Laura Mercier Lip Colour - Stickgloss

Laura Mercier's Stickgloss in Black Orchid the next Glaze?

You remember it the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton scandal, what you may also remember is the Monica Lewinsky interview with Barbra Walters. Many Americans watched that interview, and a lot of women (and men) couldn't keep their eyes off Monica Lewinsky’s dewy fresh lips. The lipstick which the world found out was Club Monaco’s Glaze became infamous. I remember it vividly because I was working at Club Monaco in San Francisco at the time, and all the girls that worked there had to horde there own stash of the color before it sold out around the world. Unfortunately Club Monaco no longer has a cosmetics line, and Glaze lipstick is a distant memory unless you are willing to take your chances and purchase 10 year old makeup on eBay (gross). Well ladies you're in luck I have found a color that is so similar to Club Monaco’s Glaze, Laura Mercier's stick gloss in Black Orchid ( not the color pictured). This particular formulation gives you a sheer color, with minimal glossiness, and of course that Lewinsky dewy-fresh look.
