    REVIEW: Korres Lip Gloss (Cherry Light Pink no. 11)

    I got the Korres Lip Gloss because I wanted a hydrating, tinted moisturizer and glossy “balm” for my lips.

    I remember I payed less than 10 Euros, but on their website I found it at the 15.50€ price. Maybe I just bought it on sale. Anyhow, I think that even 10€ is a little bit too pricey for what this lip gloss has to offer.

    The Korres Lip Gloss did the job I bought it for. It really was hydrating and glossy, but… it didn’t last on the lips. In one hour it was completely gone. Then again, it is a lip gloss, maybe it’s not unusual for a lip gloss to last only one hour.

    I got the Cherry Light Pink no. 11. The color was nice, although it was a little bit too light for me.

    What I liked about this lip gloss was that:

    • it was moisturizing
    • it was kind of natural looking
    • it was glossy
    • the package is small and cute

    What I didn’t like:

    • it didn’t last long on the lips
    • it was kind of sticky
    • and the worst part is that the cap broke down and every time I wanted to unscrew the cap, I would be left with the cover in my hand, while the applicator would still be screwed to the bottle. So when this happened, I didn’t bother to use it anymore and just threw it into garbage.

    This is how it looks now and unfortunately it can’t be opened by hand. It is almost stitched and the small cap doesn’t have enough grip to open it.

     

    Even though I don’t regret buying it, I would not buy it again.

    REVIEW: Korres Shampoo Almond and Linseed for Dry or Damaged Hair

    I got this Korres Shampoo Almond and Linseed from a drugstore. It was the first time I saw somewhere this brand. I got the shampoo for dry/damaged hair, which contains almond and linseed. The bottle looks like this:

    It was a good shampoo, I didn’t get dandruff from it, nor split ends. It was a pretty good experience.

    I didn’t buy it again because it didn’t impress me either. It was just one of the many other OK shampoos.

    I continue my quest in finding the perfect shampoo for my hair, but if you don’t really care, then the Korres shampoo is definitely a good choice.
