hot weather is a-coming. at least once we get past this gray may and june gloom.





warm weather is the perfect time to switch to a lipstick formula that is a tad lighter . . . but if you're like me and still want a color other than the one you were born with while retaining moisture minus the glop factor, a regular lip balm might not fulfill your qualifications.





enter korres - the all natural homeopathic pharmacy and now beauty brand hailing all the way from athens, greece. korres has infiltrated beauty counters all over the world (long weekend style operatives report seeing korres in barcelona, paris, ireland and the UK). their mission statement is consists of 4 bullet points: naturally derived, top shelf ingerdients, clinically tested effective products that deliver, products that please the senses and lastly, all at a reasonable price designed for everyday use.





korres lip butters ROCK, in one word. packed with ultra moisturing shea butter combined with rice wax for staying power, these amazing lip butters glide on, not only moisturizing and protecting lips but also providing a juicy dose of just-ate-a-popsicle color to lips. color range covers the lights to darks; "guava" provides shine and moisturizes while at the other end, "wild rose" makes lips look just lusciously bitten.





and at $10 a pop, you can try all 5 - guava, quince, pomegranate, plum and wild rose.



this just in - korres lip butters also do double duty as cheek tints. and who doesn't love a little toteable product that does 2 jobs?

color your world indeed.
