Korres Love Your Lips Collection

The Korres Love Your Lips Collection is a collection of three pretty darn nice lip glosses and a pomegranate lip butter. Korres makes their lip glosses with cherry oil, which manages to moisturize, smooth, and taste good. In fact they taste REALLY good. I don’t really care for cherry flavor, but I loved these! The glosses give good shine and are not at all sticky.

The Pomegranate Lip Butter uses shea butter and rice wax for hydration. These natural products do not contain Parabens, Sulfates, or Phthalates.

Philosophy the Supernatural Collection Lip Gloss

Philosophy has a new makeup collection out and sent me a couple of Philosophy The Supernatural Superglossy™ Lip Glosses SPF 15 to try. Overall, this is a nice gloss if you want both pigment and a non-sticky moisturizing gloss. The SPF 15 is an added bonus

The gloss is flavored, and while I have seen one review that disliked the flavor, I was fine with it. It seemed to me like a mint based flavor with perhaps a hint of vanilla. The flavor is quite light. The gloss is decently pigmented and runs a bit to the sheer side, but is not near as sheer as say a light tinted squeeze tube type of gloss. The best part is that it is absolutely non-sticky and has a great moisturizing feel to it.

Below are swatches of the shades Live in the Moment and Share the Love.

Philosophy’s Supernatural Makeup Collection is free of Parabens, Phthalates, Talcs, and Sulfates, and all of the products contain antioxidants.

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Ultra Soothing Lip Tint

It is no secret that I love the sally Hansen Natural Beauty Line. I think that it is the best overall drugstore line out there. They recently put out a new lip gloss: Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Ultra Soothing Lip Tint. I grabbed one at a CVS store and found it to be as good as expected.

The gloss is packaged in a squeeze tube and has a good, non-sticky, light texture. Gloss level is high. The tint is subtle, but noticeable, which I like. Some brands, no matter how dark the gloss appears in the tube, the tint doesn’t show on the lips. This one does, although it still is light. Pick a rather dark shade for actual tint (this is true of almost all tinted glosses of this type—meaning a squeeze tube type of gloss). It was quite moisturizing and lasted fairly well.

The gloss has a light flavor and is formulated with natural pomegranate, antioxidants, and cranberry. You can find Sally Hansen Natural Beauty products at most drug stores and big box retailers. I have also purchased Natural Beauty cosmetics at Ulta.

Lavanila Healthy Lip Butter and Shine

Lavanila Laboratories specializes in various natural bath and body products, and their Lavanila Healthy Lip Butter is a huge new favorite of mine. This tube lip conditioner is all natural and contains a number of my favorite moisturizing ingredients. It applies just like a tube gloss and gives a bit of shine as well. Consider it a thicker (but not sticky) buttery gloss! It lasts for quite a while too and has SPF 15. Made with vanilla, it also has a nice scent and light taste. Here is what the company literature has to say about it:

The Healthy Lip Butter is packed full of powerful antioxidants, essential oils, and nourishing vitamins that help relieve and hydrate dry lips. Protect your lips from UV-damage with 100% Natural SPF 15 while four exotic butters moisturize and soften. Lavanila Healthy Lip Butters are 100% Natural and are formulated without petrochemicals, phthalates, synthetic dyes, sulfates, or chemical sunscreens. Available in Pure Vanilla, the fresh vanilla bean instantly soothes, making Lavanila’s Healthy Lip Butter the perfect winter indulgence!

LaVanila also makes a lovely Lip Shine , which is an all natural gloss. I gave the Vanilla Lavender flavor a try and found it to be light, glossy, and not at all sticky. It too has a nice light scent and taste–just enough to be pleasant without being overwhelming.

If you like tube products definitely try out Lavanila!

Kiss My Face Organic Shimmers and Lip Shine Gloss

This may be a duplicate for some. Wordpress seems to have somehow eaten the first one!

Kiss My Face is one of my favorite natural; products companies. Awhile back, they sent me their collection of their matching Shimmers and Shines to try. All are quite lovely! I will also be holding a give away of this entire line next week, so keep an eye out for that!

Kiss My Face Sheer Organic Shimmers have a sheer color and come in a light vanilla mint flavor. They condition and moisturize lips with Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E. I like the very sheer color on these.

The Sheer Organic Shines are high gloss with excellent pigments and color payoff, yet no stickiness whatsoever! They feel great! Shown below from left to right in both sets of swatches are the shades: Pearl, Opal, Ruby, Topaz, Amethyst, and Garnet. The Shimmers on on top and the Shines are below.
