Korres Lemon Lip Scrub review
Hi everyone! =] Today I'll review Korres Lip Scrub that I bought while ago along with the Jasmin lip butter. In fact, I bought the "Love your lip" set from Sephora. At first, I only wanted to try the lip scrub but the price tag just kept me away lol so I opted for this kit, which was only about 9 or 10$ more and I could get 3 more products haha.
My lips were chapped and the skin was flaking due to stress and the cold weather. I applied lip balm everyday but it seems like I couldn't get rid of those flaky skin! Ugh. SO I thought that I would try a lip scrub in order to scrub away the dead skin. I couldn't find any at the drugstore (weird) so I checked out this one because a lot of people raved about it. I had high expectations for this since there were so much good ratings and the crazy price tag. What it claims :
What I liked about Korres Lemon Lip Scrub:
Packaging: 5/5 Comes in a lipstick tube, very portable and easy to use
Quality: 3/5 I expected more of it
Effectiveness: 2/5 I didn't felt like it scrubbed anything
Price: 2/5 25$CAN for a lipscrub.. I can find cheaper and more effective
Scent: 5/5 light lemon scent
Would I repurchase? No.
"What it is: A gentle yet effective exfoliating lip treatment that prepares lips for long-lasting lip color.
What it does: Lips are left soft and nourished due to the soothing botanical ingredients in this formula.

The proprietary blend of coconut flour, jojoba seed oil, and beeswax moisturize and condition lips—leaving them in prime-puckering condition.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosans
What else you need to know: 100% Natural Ingredients. Flavor of scrub is invigorating, fresh-squeezed lemon" (Information from Sephora.com)
It made me go "OoOoO" haha. When I opened the tube, there was this nice lemon smell. The product is kind of a yellow color and I was expecting big chunks of rice grains but what I saw was tiny grains. When I applied it, I was surprised by how it was gliding smoothly and I could barely feel the grains. Honestly, I didn't felt like it was exfoliating my lips. I wiped off the product off and started to touch my pout. Surprise! Flaky skin was still hanging on tightly! However, I could feel that the parts where I didn't have dead skin were smoother and supple. I tried it again several time but nothing. Big disappointment =(

Aww that's too bad it didn't work as expected, b/c I need something like this! I exfoliate my lips in the shower every day, but I still have dry lips :(
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!!! I have been thinking about getting this product for awhile, well not going to waste the money now!
ReplyDeletethanks you so much...great review!
xoxo
@Sophia: Have you tried BListex medicated lipbalms? I have the lip medex one (in a jar) and it works wonderfully :)
ReplyDelete@Kaitlyn: I know it sucks so bad esp. for the price :( If you're searching for a lip scrub try the ones from Lush. They are very affordable and they are amazing! I have the mint julips and they do exfoliate well :D
It's true, I have the bubblegum lip scrub of Lush and it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI thought about getting the product awhile back but I'm kind of glad I didn't now. The product sounds like it smells lovely and looks nice but I guess it doesn't work as well as it looks.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's a trick I do to exfoliate my lips? Vaseline and sugar. =] Try it sometime. It works really well. Reminds me of the new lip scrubs LUSH came out with.
<3s Serena.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work too well for you =/ Serena's suggestion works! :) Vaseline and Sugar :) Or you can use oil and sugar, that works just as great :D
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's not effective, maybe you should give Lush lip scrub a try, I've tried it and it's great :D
ReplyDeleteOh that sucks :( I use my Haus of Gloi sugar scrub (which is generally for use on the body) on my lips and face, it works quite well. And I think it's cheaper than the LUSH one for a sample size.
ReplyDeleteAw too bad it didn't work out. Wow 25 is a lot for the amount given o__o
