Korres Natural Products

My relationship with Korres is verging on unhealthy, which is really saying something seeing as they are natural products and I rarely apply cosmetics. What I do use I simply adore. * . Their nail varnish, of which I have a humble eleven in my collection, is highly pigmented and long lasting. Even their 02 Milky White provides a full layer of colour which I have not found when wearing other white nail varnishes. Though there are many colours and shades, each nail varnish has a slight pastel quality which makes them easy to wear everyday but not as noticeable as other brands of the same colour. 

The lipliners are extremely long lasting and match beautifully with the lipsicks. The whole range of lipliners are highly pigmented, no matter the shade - the lipsticks, however, tend to vary in pigmentation. Lipsticks Natural Pink and Rose are both very light lipsticks though different in finish. Rose (22) is not very pigmented at all, and in fact has iridescent quality, whereas Natural Pink (13) is highly pigmented and provides a solid colour. There are glossy, less pigmented lipsticks available, such as Peach (18) and Fuchsia (54), which are sheer lipsticks made from mango butter. These lipsticks are SPF 10, and are € 18,40 on the Korres website. And I haven't even mention the genius that is their Plum Δαμασκηνο Lip Butter, which feels smells and tastes divine. The lip butters are made with shea butter and rice wax, which in some wondrous way make one feel like a princess (who is empowered and weapon wielding, yet still comfortable with their delicate traits). The Plum Lip Butter is dark enough a colour to tint the lips slightly and creates a rather neat dark purple sheen, which I'm (unsurprisingly) also a fan of.

I am also a huge fan of their hair dyes. The quality of the finished colour is really quite beautiful, with natural highlights and warm, natural looking colours. The dyes are ammonia free and instead contain natural ingredients in its place (It even smells fairly nice when it's developing in your hair, not that I advise persons to smell the chemicals as that would be terribly foolish). Though I cannot find anywhere selling the dyes in Britain, I have seen several boxes of these dyes in other European countries.

I'm such a "fangirl" when it comes to Korres and love the natural vibe they rock throughout their range of products.
