Korres Cherry Oil Lipgloss Review and Swatches

I am doing a quick review for Korres Cherry Oil lip gloss today. I love that these are made up of natural ingredients. I also love the beautiful shade, especially light purple #23. It’s such a pretty pale pink and despite the name, I don’t detect any purple. They are non-sticky, moist and add just the right amount of shine. For me, it’s a little pricey, $17 each (6ml); $14 would have been more fair.

Review Amore Pacific Time Response Skin Renewal SPF 18 Foundation

I was passing by the Amore Pacific counter when a SA pulled me over. She got beautiful fair skin with a very cute Aussie accent. She introduced me to their foundation which is way out of my price range. Such a sweet lady, she did a match for me and gave me like 20 packets of sample in not one but two different shades to play with. Rarely do you ever meet a SA this nice or generous.

Packaging: It is elegantly packaged in a pump where you press the top down.


Price: $90, available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.


Pros: Oh, where do I begin? This foundation is very pigmented. I use “less” than a pea size for my entire face and it’s plenty. Since it is so pigmented, I can get a good medium to full coverage with a sheer layer, which makes your skin look more natural than if you were to pile on a couple layers. It is also very blendable, smooth, does not accentuate dry patches. It gives long lasting, natural satin finish that does not turn cakey or oxidize as the day goes by.

Cons: I honestly can’t think of anything negative performance wise. However, it is really expensive for a foundation. Also, it has added fragrance which I find a little strong.

I also wish the second lightest shade, 102 has more of a yellow undertone (it’s neutral). This last point is not a con in general but more of a personal preference of mine.

Overall: Probably too pricey as your everyday foundation but definitely worth it for special occasions. Rating 5/5

Korres Lip Butter in New Packaging: Lip Butter Glaze

I love the original Korres Lip Butter. It has natural ingredients, hydrate, and keeps my lips soft. It is also quite pigmented and long lasting for a lip treatment. The one thing that annoys me is that I don’t like to dip my finger it in. So, I constantly have to use it with a lip brush. I am more than thrill that these are now newly package and its new name is Korress Lip Butter Glaze. These are $14 compare to $10 from the original but you will also be getting more product, as they come in a new .34 fl oz vs. .21 fl oz jar. Actually if you do the math (I won’t go into details), the new lip butter is cheaper by $6 per fluid ounce. Yay!

Update: Sorry that I had misinformed you, the Lip Butter Glaze is not the Lip Butter in a new package but indeed a total new product in itself. It has all the same shades as the Lip Butter and last month another blogger, Muse from musingsofamuse said the Lip Butter has new packaging so when I finally see it on sale at Korres, I thought... Sorry again for the confusion. Thank you to Caitlyn, Korres representative, for pointing this out.

Review Softymo (Kose) Eye Makeup Remover

Packaging: The bottle has a small opening up top that you can safely squirt product out.

Price: $11, available at imomoko.com

Pros: This is very gentle. I accidently got some in my eyes and it didn’t sting at all. It is also non-greasy. It removes eyeshadow effectively, with just one swipe.

Cons: Unfortunately eyeshadow is the only thing this seems to remove effectively. If you wear smudgeproof or waterproof makeup, good luck! I held the cotton pad for a few seconds, did a couple wipe, my Wet ‘n Wild Eye Liner (LINK) still stay intact. I experience the same problem with Cover Girl Lash Extract waterproof mascara and regular formula mascara as well.

Overall: Unless you wear very light eye makeup, it can be quite frustrating trying to remove your makeup with this eye makeup remover. I give it points for being very gentle and non greasy. Rating 2/5.
