Welcome Back To Korres Kit* £15.00
This little kit is quite popular in the blogosphere, so I am sure that you are familiar with Korres and their products.
I was kindly sent the Welcome Back To Korres Kit* from WIMH (read more about them in my previous post here) and I was very excited to try it, until I found out that Korres are not as natural as they claim to be... (more at the end of the post)
The kit costs £15 (free delivery) and includes a full size lip butter, full size nail polish, two 50ml shower gels and two skincare samples (worth £27).
Korres Wild Rose Lip Butter (6ml)
I already had the Wild Rose Lip Butter in my stash, but it is always good to have a backup.
It is a buttery lip balm, enriched with shea butter and rice wax - great for chapped lips. It is a deep rose/burgundy shade, with a nice shine and it feels very moisturising.

Korres Nail Colour in Baby Pink (11ml)
New nail polished always excite me, especially if I haven't tried the formula before. Korres nail polishes are enriched with myrrh extract, oligoelements and Provitamin B5 for strong, healthy nails and don't contain nasty ingredients. Shade baby pink is a very pale milky pink, with a high shine finish. I needed two coats for a nice finish and the formula lasted on my nails for 3 days without chipping. I really like the colour and I might purchase some more in the future.
Korres Wild Rose Moisturising & Brightening Cream (2ml)
It is light, hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft and plump. It is suitable for normal to dry skin.
Korres Wild Rose Brightening & Line Smoothing Serum (2ml)
This serum is enriched with Vitamin C to brighten the skin and smooth fine lines. It is a lovely product, but I would need a full size bottle to see if it makes a difference.
Korres Guava and Basil Lemon Showergels (50ml bottles)
The shower gels left me very confused. Korres claim to be a natural brand, but... they use SLS/SLES in their shower gels. I don't understand why, because it is a very nasty ingredient!
Yes, it is a creamy-foam for everyday use with a lovely scent, but... it isn't suitable for all skin types and it doesn't offer a lasting moisturising effect. SLS isn't an ingredient suitable for sensitive skin and it leaves my skin very dry!
Overall, this kit is good value for money, but I am confused about the ingredients in Korres products. I would strongly advise you to read this post, written by Sarah to find out more about the ingredients used by this "natural brand". I will keep using my Korres lip butters and makeup, but I will be more careful with checking the ingredients in the future.
