Korres Lip Butter: Quince


Today's post is about one my all time favorite lip products. The Korres lip butters. My first experience with the Korres products was with Jasmine Lip Butter. I used Jasmine every morning and night. It moisturized my lips, without leaving them feeling dry or chapped hours after application. It left my lips moisturized. After finishing up Jasmine, I decided to repurchase this product, but in a different color. Quince. 


I would describe Quince as a juicy, berry color. It it sheer, but gives the perfect wash of color across your lips without having to sacrifice moisture. This product is fantastic for summer. It is easy to use, you don't need a mirror to apply this product, and it pulls your whole face together with ease and effortlessness. 


One of my favorite things about this product is that it is NOT sticky at all! It is smooth and buttery. The smell can be overpowering. It reminds me of roses or something floral. It is definitely a unique smell that lingers on the lips for a few minutes after application, but then disappears. 


Have you tried any of the Korres Lip Butters? If so, which ones?

Mae Movement Bracelets

I stumbled across these bracelets at a local retailer where I live. The sparkly beads and the different variations of colors and patterns caught my attention. Little did I know, these bracelets are a hot commodity and have been spreading like wild fire! I can totally see why. These bracelets are made by women in Nepal and all the proceeds go towards ending sex slavery.



Each bracelet is comprised of approximately 1,000 beads and the bracelets themselves do not stretch, they simply roll onto the wrist, therefore they are one size fits all. These bracelets are absolutely beautiful and I personally love wearing them either three at a time, one by itself, or two together. I love pairing two patterns together or a pattern with a solid. I could rave about these bracelets non-stop. I love them so much and I think they are so unique and the perfect mother-daughter gift.



You can buy these on the website maemovemenet.com or if you are lucky enough to have a retailer that sells them near you to go check them out.
