Korres Black Pine 3D Sculpting, Firming & Lifting Eye Cream Review

This eye cream will not disappoint when it comes to results.

Ever since I first tried Korres Firming Black Pine Night Cream and had success, I was curious how the Black Pine 3D Sculpting, Firming & Lifting Eye Cream would compare for the eyes. I must admit that I was not disappointed.

This eye cream is meant to target puffiness, dark circles, loss of skin firmness, and fine lines and wrinkles for all skin types.  It also is specially formulated without harmful parabens, sulfates and phthalates.  

The product is dispensed through a pump.  It has a light feel and is fast absorbing without causing skin to be sticky, heavy or greasy.  Furthermore, my eyes can at times get irritated, but I had no problems with this gentle formula.  

I noticed was that the area beneath the eye didn’t look like it was doing too much the first two days. By the third day though, I was starting to see changes in the darkness under my eyes.  My dark circles and typical morning puffiness lessened and appeared brighter.

Over the next few days, I also had to admit my fine creases beneath the eyes also seemed to have tightened up!  Could it be due to Korres special ElastiLift3D complex for skin renewal, black pine extract and black pine polyphenol epigallocatechin to strengthen, black tea active agent to brighten, and the spilanthes acmella active extracts for lifting and tightening?  I do not know, which of those ingredients to credit the most. 

All I can say is Korres Black Pine 3D Sculpting, Firming & Lifting Eye Cream ($56) has merit.  It smooths, tightens, reduces puffiness, and brightens dark circles.  If this product worked this well for me, I imagine it can do the same for you.  Check it out because the only way you’ll know if you try it, too.

The effect is still fresh with just enough sweetness to make you feel good.  Think of it at this stage like a passing summer breeze carrying the scent of flowers in the air.   

As this fragrance dries down in the base, its notes of white musk, cedarwood and moss give it a soft sort of natural sexiness that is very appealing.

Korres White Tea Bergamot Eau de Parfum is a delight to the senses and quite different from what you may expect from when that citrus, floral, tea, musk and wood notes combine.  It is light fresh, but with a sweet uniqueness that keeps me so drawn to its magic.

Beauty abounds in this unique Korres Limited-Edition 20 L'Eau de Parfum!

Just in time for holiday gift buying, Korres, the Greek Apothecary, released their Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum.  This oriental-floral fragrance has warm spicy and fresh notes that give it a soft, yet irresistible sexiness for an unexpected take on rose and woods.

20 L’Eau de Parfum opens with a tart brightness from bergamot, green notes, green mandarin and apple. Though attention getting in its snappy freshness, the sweetness of the licorice top note dials down the crisper green in a pleasant way. 

As the fragrance warms in the heart with woods, rose, whisky and cedar, it develops a velvety richness and sophistication to that subtle sweetness from the spiked mix of rose and woods.  The result is flowery but at the same time, earthy and masculine with this combination of woods, whisky to the floral. Personally, I would describe this Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum, a scent either sex could wear over restricting it solely to feminine or masculine.

By the time it dries down in the base, the more alluring it becomes as heart notes are tempered with the oak and amber base notes, enveloping this sensual fragrance with an inviting creaminess that you want to cozy up to.  

Do check out Korres Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum ($52) for yourself or when you’re making out your holiday gift list because it is a wonderful, unique rose fragrance that I now adore.

Review: Korres Vanilla Freesia Eau de Parfum

Korres Vanilla Freesia Eau de Parfum

I have sampled some wonderful skin care and scented body care products from Greek brand, Korres, but wasn’t aware they had perfumes until PR kindly sent one along with their Vanilla Freesia Eau de Parfum Spray.  Let me tell you that if you gravitate toward oriental vanilla fragrances, then you would love the captivating sweet flower power in this one.

The scent opens with bergamot and tea for an exotic start that soon gives way to heavier, sweeter notes of fruits and floral in the heart.  

As lychee, peach, freesia, jasmine and sandalwood heat and blend, the fragrance has a thick gourmand like sweetness against an explosion of floral, which adds mystery as well as velvety allure to this romantic scent.  
Spiked with notes of vanilla, patchouli and creamy musk in the base, it warms deliciously into a light seductive vanilla that is sultry as well as surprisingly soft in its beautiful embrace.

Those that are drawn to vanilla or oriental fragrances would especially be attracted to Korres Vanilla Freesia and its undeniable magnetism.  If this sounds like you or anyone on your holiday gift list, then I highly recommend getting a bottle ($38.50) at Sephora.

Review: Korres Black Pine Night Cream Could Be the Next Best Thing to Having Work Done on Your Face!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Korres Black Pine Night Cream

Many anti-aging products make promises that may or may not live up to our expectations.  However, I got to try a new night cream that PR sent from Korres that truly did deliver in erasing time off of my face.  The product I am referring to is their Black Pine Night Cream ($68) from their new anti-aging skin care collection.  

The unique skin advantage that Black Pine offers is its natural hexapeptide-11 for its help in increasing the complexion’s collagen and elastin production along with black pine polyphenol’s for its exceptional firming capabilities while protecting the skin from free radicals.  It also has other active ingredients like spilanthes acmella extract for further helping lift, contour, and support the collagen, giving skin renewed volume.

What I noticed immediately was the Black Pine Night Cream was lightly scented, which was a nice change to see from Korres face creams that can be quite scented.  The texture was rich and luxurious, melting into my skin with its gentle and hydrating moisture.  Over the many weeks of use, I saw my fine creases disappear while my two, deeper laugh lines, sealed up in an astonishing way so they are barely visible!  

I say Korres Black Pine anti-aging skin care is the next best thing to having some work done on your face. If you don’t believe me, then try this product and discover what I shared from my own experience for yourself. I really am in love with Korres Black Pine products and now want the entire line.  

If your face could benefit from a bit of firming, do visit Korres and check out their Black Pine Skin Care Collection.  Once you do, you will be excited that I turned you onto this great product with that Black Pine Night Cream! 

A Sure Bet to Brighten Up Your Complexion--NEW Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel

With all the cosmetics we subject our skin to, I have always made it a point to exfoliate occasionally with a facial peel to help save my complexion from dullness of what may still be lingering in my pores.  

As I shared with you earlier, I had a bad experience with a facial peel that left me with a small scar a while back.  Some products that I tried helped somewhat, but I am still trying to gently buff it away. When I heard that Korres had a new two-step brightening and resurfacing system with this Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel, I was more than curious as you can imagine.

What you have in this System with Step One is the Wild Rose Activating Peel Gel.  When I tried it for the first time on Sunday afternoon, I pumped a bit of that gel out and applied to my freshly washed face before allowing it to dry.  I am now more than cautious of any facial peels and kept checking my face in the mirror for any signs of red, but this was gentle and did not give my sensitive complexion any signs of pink or discomfort.  

Take a look at  Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel and both the products involved in both steps. 

After it dried was when I took out the Step Two with their Wild Rose Brightening and Resurfacing Peel Mask. This is a pink, rose-scented cream that you layer over top the Step 1 of the Peel Gel and keep on from three to 10 minutes.  

Standing in front of my mirror with handy view of my clock, I checked both my face and time after three minutes.  When both looked fine, I gave the product longer and kept doing that until the maximum time of ten minutes had passed without any problems.

After I rinsed the mask away, I can’t say it helped with that  remaining bit of that small scar, but it was wonderful for what else it did for my complexion.  It really did brighten and tone the pores remarkably well to bring about an incredible peachy glow without any signs of red to my fair to light olive complexion.

Since the box suggests you can use it twice in one week, I thought it was gentle enough and tried it again this morning.  This time I gave myself a slightly thicker coat instead of the more timid way that I started out during my first time using the product.

What I can tell is that this stuff may not radically change the surface of your complexion, but it definitely improves radiance, smoothness, and manages to shrink visible pores in a beautiful way without harshness.  

Find the Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel ($64) at Korres.  Check it out because I know that you’ll love this.

Korres Greek Yogurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Korres Greek Yogurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial ($45)

I had been wanting to try Korres Greek Yogurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial for a while now since I am quite fond of dairy-based skin care products.  With my dry complexion, I find them particularly soothing as well as excellent choices for restoring the proper levels of hydration to my more sensitive face due to all their proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Therefore, I was pleased when the opportunity presented itself to put this product to the test.

The formula is rich with antioxidants and luxurious in texture, but is fast absorbing without just sitting on top of the skin.  Instead, this cream did comfort my tight skin and moisturize very well while feeling silky to the touch.  It does seem to go a long way once you dip your finger in and start spreading, which was always wonderful to find out as well.

At the same time, this product is free of sulphates, parabens, and phthalates.  Though with all the formula’s other botanical ingredients, it does have a bit more fragrance than I care for in a face cream.  It also has denatured alcohol, which ranks pretty high among the ingredients to help preserve the integrity of the formula against bacteria.

Despite those things, I still woke up with an incredibly soft complexion the next morning that looked healthy and nourished.  So what’s not to like about that I ask you?

Have you tried Korres Greek Yogurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial ($45) yet? Do check it out.

Korres Jasmine Body Butter Review + ($29) Giveaway!–Ends September 11, 2014

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Korres Jasmine Body Butter

Nothing is more enticing than fragrant, petal-soft skin.  A smart way to lose yourself in lush, fragrant moisture to accomplish that goal is through a healthier alternative of skin care.  A purer 92.8% natural formula that you need to be aware of without all the chemicals comes from Greek brand, Korres, with their Jasmine Body Butter that I have been sampling.

  

This is a delicate white floral packed with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, quince extract, sunflower, almond and avocado oils that I adored after showering.  This silky cream felt luxuriously rich and didn’t sit on top of my damp skin or feel greasy.  It smoothed and scented with just enough appealing jasmine without overpowering the senses to make me irresistibly soft and fragrant through my day.

I am now longing to try a few of the other scents to indulge in like Japanese Rose and Guava.   Needless to say, I am also so tempted by Apple Blossom, Vanilla-Guava, and Fig and the rest, if the truth is known.

Anyone looking for a very effective natural body butter to keep skin hydrated and subtly perfumed should check out Korres Body Butter ($29), especially this lovely Jasmine.   I just am confident that you will be pleased on how well it works.

Review: Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping FacialAdd caption

I had never tried any skin care products from Greek brand, Korres until testing their Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial. However, I think once you hear what I have to say that you will want to clear out the clutter and make room for this one because this brightening treatment is a keeper!

At first, I didn’t see too much of a difference after applying this luxurious cream with wild rose oil, vitamin C, and imperata cylindrica root extract among other advantageous ingredients that I could speak of.  But the longer I used this beautifully scented rose cream and switched to using it as a daytime moisturizer in addition to a night treatment, I noticed my pores looked like they kept shrinking and the tone was evening out. The color of my complexion was changing as well with more luminosity. Even a small mark looked like it was stretching and smoothing over more than before using this Korres product.

There are many skin care options for brightening and improving skin tone as they moisturize, but if you have dull skin that could use a healthy boost, then I highly recommend Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial ($48).  Do try this product now and be happier with your complexion later!

Hot Summer Lip Balm Pick--Korres Lip Butters (Mango, Quince, Jasmine) Review + SWATCHES!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Starting on the left is Jasmine, Mango, and Quince on the right.

If you’re looking for a super-moisturizing tinted lip balm that won’t let you down when you need hours of lasting hydration, then I know just the thing to make your dry lips happy.  I suggest checking out Korres Lip Butters from Greece’s oldest homeopathic pharmacy.

With shea butter, natural oils and extracts, these little pots of lip butter really do soothe and soften lips incredibly well. They have a pleasant fruit smell and even taste a bit fruity of the ones I tried, especially yummy Mango. 

The color is fresh, sheer, and shiny with seven shades in all. Mango looks like an orange-yellow but appears with pink tones once on.  Quince is a pinker-plum color that can give your summer lips quite the edge. Jasmine is a soft nude-pink that would look great with a tan.

This product leaves your lips satisfied afterwards instead of desperately needing to reapply. At the same time, you get some color while caring for your lips with beneficial ingredients.  

Do visit Korres and check the Lip Butters ($12) out as well as their other products.  After this experience, this is exactly what I plan to do!    

This is Mango.

Take a look at Quince.

This one is Jasmine.
