Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick ~ Soft Pink

This is a review of one of the lip products I received in this month's Lip Factory box, you can read more about the beauty kit service here.

I am going to slowly review every product I received for you all.  I like to wear a product for a while to see how it stands up in different situations before I give my final verdict so these reviews may take a while.

Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick in Soft Pink ~ This is my first Korres product ever, I have read some rave reviews about Korres so was very happy to be able to try this lipstick.

Comes in a tube with a doe foot applicator, applies like a lipgloss but appears more like a creamy gloss lipstick.  Very cooling to the lips and drys to a non sticky glossy finish.

Has an oily feel but once it's on your lips it doesn't move or feather into your skin.

Definitely moisturising and didn't dry my lips out like lipstick tends too, so you get the best of both worlds here.  A lip gloss that acts like a lipstick.

 It was a very dark rainy day here when I photographed these swatches, this is under a natural day lamp, the photo below is pointed more towards the lamp to catch the glossy effect.

The colour is a gorgeous dusky rose and one of my favourite shades in lip products.

No flavour, and a subtle vanilla aroma.

Wearability is about average, I found myself freshening up my lip colour a few times a day, especially after I ate or had a cup of coffee.  The colour was still there, it hadn't travelled to the edges of my lips producing a ring like some do but the gloss just needed refreshing.

I really like this product, I prefer lip gloss and I am really happy to find one that works like a lipstick without drying my lips out, I would certainly repurchase and would be interested to try some different shades.

I did find a trio here at Cosmetics Now in Soft Pink, Fuschia and Berry for $24.95 plus free shipping.  If anyone knows where else they can be purchased  in Australia please leave a comment below.

  1. I've heard loads about this: aren't they the Raspberry Antioxidant something something liquid lippy? They're such value for money, I believe, and something of a cult glossy-stain/stainy-gloss. Gorgeous shade, I love dusty rose. I had expected better staying power, but I badly want one or more nonetheless!

    1. Oh Gawd I better go edit and put the raspberry anti-oxidant in!! How did I miss that lol.....

      Lipstick NEVER stays long on me, it may last more on others but they all are about the same for me.

      Dusty rose is one of my favourite shades EVER!

    1. Hya Sammi, I haven't tried their lip butters yet but I have heard about them. I have a draw full of lip products, it would have to be my favourite beauty item. So I haven't been buying anything since I am trying to work my way through my stash lol.... But I am really like the liquid lipstick.

  5. Lovely color. These liquid lipsticks are sold here in U.S., but I have only seen them in Sephora stores and these weren't really too hyped about here. Everyone raves about Korres lip butters though! I really like the concept of liquid lipstick, but I haven't found a good one yet. I thought of trying this one out about a year ago, but I didn't like the color selection available (quite limited) and this does feel a bit heavy on the lips. I would love to find a deep red maroon liquid lipstick!!!

    1. I have only found a 6 colour selection, I don't know why. Maybe they didn't sell so they didn't bother bringing any more out. I quite like them :o)
