My luxury skin obsession is Korres – I live for their shower gel – and as I use a lot of it, it can become a pretty pricey affection.
Imagine my glee, then, that today at Haute Look they are holding a Korres sale! Things are marked down as much as 50%, so it’s a great time to stock up on stuff like their silicon-free primer or their fabulous travel sets.
Sale extends through tomorrow, but it’s while supplies last, and items are already selling out! If you are going for the shower gel, I love the citrus (pictured) or the …read more

I’m going to the beach with some girl friends this weekend, and as I am ghastly pale, sun sensitivity is as much an issue as my jelly butt issues.
Korres Watermelon Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 has been a fabulous find for my sensitive face – it’s super easy to apply, easily fits in my cutest of purses, and – most importantly – works!
As in works, I mean, I don’t end up with an ugly blotchy sunburn by the end of the day. It also has a cool but natural-looking iridescent touch, and is sweat-proof! You probably want to consider it, too, …read more

I go through more body butter than I go through real butter (thank god), and so I try to avoid using the super luxe stuff by a means of economy.
However, I am smitten with Korres Body Butters!
These were developed exclusively for Sephora, and each formula is enriched with shea butter which is great for softening the skin; it also contains a blend of sunflower, almond, and avocado oils to restore elasticity and smoothness; and quince extract to heal and nourish.
So while it may seem like this body butter is the makings of a good salad, it’s actually the making of …read more

As you can see, I’m a tad bit obsessed with my lips right now. Curious thing that it’s actually doing alright save the occasional dried up feeling (on the surface, it looks alright though) but I don’t know, I’m really scouring all the possible places to look for something to manage the moisture on my lips.
And then I come across this interesting lipstick from Korres, the Guava Lipstick.

KORRES
Black Tea & Verbena Skin Smoothing Cream
Korres Black Tea and Verbena Anti-Cellulite Cream is an easily absorbed cream-gel that acts in all stages of the lipogenesis-lipolysis cycle.
I know, I know. Least thing that I should be worried about is cellulite but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be curious about products that may help remove or fight the appearance of them, right? For all you know, there WILL come a time when I just may be burdened by that very problem. It’s good to be well-informed of remedies, don’t you agree?
The Black Tea …read more

Guava Body Butter
What it is:
A divinely rich, guava-scented smoothing cream for dry elbows, heels, and knees.
What it is formulated to do:
The emollient balm can also be used over the entire body, preferably onto warm, damp skin, after bathing to lock-in moisture.
This may be synthetic and the glorified version of the Guava treatment on the skin but I reckon it’s a start. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, well, here in my country we have this practice wherein we use Guava on the skin. I’ll save further explanation on the treatment for a later post.
I recommend creams or …read more
