Review: Korres Almond and Linseed Nourishing Hair Mask

I've reviewed Korres hair products here on the blog previously, but if you thought the Korres Almond and Linseed shampoo and conditioner sounded good, you will probably love the Korres Almond and Linseed Nourishing Hair Mask, too, because it's really good, so it obviously deserves its own post!

First of all, this hair mask has a very faint, but nice scent, so it's not a good choice for those who want a strong scent in their hair masks or shampoos. But the results are excellent! This hair mask really made my hair silky, smooth and soft, which is no easy task. It almost never happens to me with other hair products, so that alone is impressive!

This hair mask is supposed to be used by those with dry or damaged hair, mine is very dry, and I felt it worked really well with my hair type, so I would definitely recommend it to those who have dry and maybe coarse or frizzy hair, since I do believe it will work well for you.

The packaging on the Korres hair mask is just as sleek and simple as on the other products from the same range, and the price is quite good as well. So I do believe I would buy all the products I've tried from this range, including the Korres Almond and Linseed Hair Mask, again.

Review: Korres Pomegranate Cleansing and Makeup Removing Wipes

I have very limited experience with Korres products, even though it is a brand that I have been very curious about for quite some time. I've only tried a handful of products, some of which I've liked a lot (like this and this), and some of which have slightly disappointed me (like this), so when I recently bought a pack of Korres Pomegranate Cleansing and Makeup Removing Wipes, I thought they would help me decide what I think about this brand once and for all. But no such luck. Because the Korres Cleansing and Makeup Removing Wipes are not good, but also not very bad. They are just... bland.

So these wipes really do not change my opinion about Korres in any way. I guess I will just have to try more of their products in order to figure out if this is a brand for me or not!

So why did I think these wipes were bland?

First of all, they do clean your face, but not very well. So you need to use a lot of them in order to get any cleansing done, which is not very cost efficient, of course.

And they have no extra perks, such as leaving your skin nicely exfoliated, like these cleansing wipes, or smell amazing, like these, so in my opinion, there is really no reason to choose these wipes over any other wipes.

So I would say you can always get these wipes in case you find them on sale or for a really great price for some other reason, or if no other cleansing wipes are available for some reason. But otherwise, you can usually find many other, better options out there.

Review: Korres Almond and Linseed Conditioner for dry hair

Another hair care line where I have reviewed the shampoo but not the conditioner yet is the Korres Almond and Linseed line for dry hair. If you want to know more about the shampoo, read this, but here are some thoughts on the Korres Almond and Linseed Conditioner as well:

The scent of the Korres Almond and Linseed Conditioner is not as strong and as nice as the scent of the shampoo from the same range, but there is a nice, yet vague scent. What is amazing about this conditioner, however, is how amazing it made my hair feel after I used it!

In order to understand why I am so impressed by what this conditioner did for my hair, I think you need to know a little bit about my hair though. My hair is very thick, wavy and very dry, which makes it unruly and frizzy at times. But when I used this conditioner, my hair turned soft, softer than I've ever felt it, actually, and it didn't feel dry at all, for at least a day! So I was very impressed by that, because most conditioners definitely do not do that for me. But the Korres Almond and Linseed Conditioner did, so I would highly recommend it to anyone that has the same type of hair as me.

The only complaint I have about this conditioner is that the tube was pretty small. I ran out of the conditioner pretty fast, but it could have been because I was so thrilled with it that I pretty much used it every time I washed my hair until I ran out, haha!

But I will definitely be getting Korres hair products again, there is no doubt about that!

Review: Korres Almond and Linseed Shampoo for dry hair

My first experience with the Greek brand Korres was an okay one, even though not a mind blowing one by any means. But it still made me think there was potential in this brand, so when I saw that ASOS had some Korres hair products on sale a while ago, I decided to order them and see what I thought.

I got several products from their hair care line for dry hair, all based on almond and linseed. I will be reviewing the products separately, but let's start with the Korres Almond and Linseed Shampoo.

The first thing that struck me when I started using this shampoo was the gorgeous scent. I find that almond is a really lovely scent, that is not used enough in beauty products, so I think the scent of the shampoo is both unique and really, really nice. A plus, for sure!

The bottle is also great, it's easy to get just the right amount of shampoo out of it, and the shampoo cleans your hair really well. It doesn't foam as much as most other shampoos, though, which might cause some to use too much product at first. But in my experience, this is definitely a shampoo where a little goes a long way, so there is really no need for that.

Korres does not test their products on animals, and the shampoo doesn't contain any parabens, mineral oils or paraffin waxes either.

I can't say I know for sure how good the shampoo in itself was for my very dry hair, but I can say that when I used it with other products (conditioner as well as a hair mask, to be reviewed separately), my hair looked and felt amazing!

So I will definitely be getting both the shampoo, as well as the other products from the range, again.

Review: Korres Multivitamin Compact Powder

A while ago, I got a Korres Multivitamin Compact Powder when I ordered some stuff on Strawberrynet, and I was pretty excited, since I had been wanting to try Korres products for quite some time, having heard a lot of good things about them in the past. But I was also thinking this product might not be the best one to get started with, since I don't really wear a lot of powder (I used to when I was younger, and then suddenly discovered that too much powder is not really such a good thing, and haven't dared to go near it since, basically!).

This powder is supposed to be suitable for oily skin, like mine though, which sounded good, since I don't think most powders are, and I was lucky enough to get a shade that suited me really well.

I did like the packaging a lot, even though it is not very unique, but it's sleek and chic, which appeals to me. The powder in it is also soft and easy to apply, and the Korres Multivitamin Compact Powder comes with both a mirror and a sponge in the case, so you have all you need in the package you get.

I do not believe the coverage of this powder is good enough for me to use it as a compact foundation powder, but if your skin is oily, yet doesn't need much coverage, this might be a really good choice for you.

I personally need more coverage, so I don't think I will be getting this powder again, but I am still really happy I got a chance to try it, because it seems to be a nice product, in nice packaging, just not one that suits me that well.

The product I want to try most right now

Despite always having very long wish lists for cosmetics and beauty products, there is one product that I want to try more than others at the moment, the Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial, available over at Sephora, for instance.

This cream has gotten excellent reviews almost everywhere, and I don't think I've ever tried a product like it, so it would be amazing to give this a try. I am definitely ordering this online as soon as I get back from a holiday I am going on soon (I don't want to have a lot of packages lying around the post office while I am gone)!
