The Spring Season: Korres #22 Rose Guava Lipstick

Korres #22 Rose Guava Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a beautiful shade of medium pink with golden shimmer. It reminded me of a seriously muted version of Guerlain Giulette Lipstick. It could also double as MAC Nympette Lipglass in lipstick form. It has a beautiful muted medium pink base with golden shimmer and a light sheen. Korres’ Guava Lipstick is incredibly moisturizing and glides onto lips easily. Guava Lipstick wears well (four hours for me) and looks soft and smooth without being creamy–so they don’t slip on the lips.

Is this the right sheer lipstick for you? Would you wear it?

The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

I have used this before but wont repurchase since the price is inhibitive. Most lipsticks are 0.12-0.14oz so on an equivlent scale this is a $44-$51 lipstick, one of the most expensive lipsticks on the market.

So gorgeous, I immediately thought of Nymphette when I saw it.

The size/price though…WOW!!! I’m glad someone pointed it out. I can’t justify spending that much on so little!

I love your lipstick swatches, but I can honestly say that it was the first one that I saw, wrote down the name and immediately went online to find. I had to have it because I love the look of the little silver particles in it that make your lips look so pretty. It’s like the pink shoes with silver heels by Chanel a couple of years ago…I could not wear them but I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. This lipstick is like those shoes melted into a lipstick…so so pretty and I cannot wait to receive it. Thank you SO SO much!

very pretty color, lots of dimension and great texture, but i don’t think i can deal with the hefty price for so little product. i get the feeling i’d be done with this lipstick in two weeks if i wear it everyday.

Well, I tried it today and for me it was difficult to get color payoff. I applied 3 coats before I could see some color, plus I think I would apply a primer first. Oh well, maybe I’ll try MAC’s Nymphette!
