Wild Rose Cream 24-hour  Moisturising & Brightening, SPF6 16ml 

I absolutely love this facial moisturiser. It smells a little bit like Dentyne Gum for those that remember it.. (cinnamon, but is blended with the delicate rose) and it does a SUPERB job of leaving skin moisturised and wonderfully bright. Honestly just after one application those who know me knew I had used something different on my skin and said I looked really well! Very tempted now by the full size version. 

A great product for the morning after the night before!

White Tea Fluid Gel Cleanser 16ml

The cleanser doesn't really have a scent as such but is a decent cleanser and it doesn't leave skin feeling tight or dry, just soft and clean.

Aloe & Dittany Shampoo 40ml

This shampoo smells lovely and did a good job of washing my hair.

Guava Shower Gel 40ml

A gorgeous and fresh scented shower gel that wakes up the senses, leaving skin soft.

Basil Lemon Body Milk 40ml

Completing the lineup is this fabulous body milk. It has a wonderful citrus scent that is spiked with basil so it's not overly sweet or citrusy. It is non greasy and dries in seconds leaving skin smelling delightful and skin super smooth and soft.

Korres Black Pine Antiwrinkle Firming & Lifting Face Serum Review

I have been using Korres Black Pine Antiwrinkle Firming & Lifting Face Serum for the past few weeks as part of my night time routine .

Korres say

Suitable for all skin types

To use  - Apply to face and neck avoiding the eye area

Korres Black Pine skincare provides firming and lifting action, wrinkle reduction & skin elasticity increases. The serum is the latest in the range of the Black Pine collection and promises anti ageing benefits.

I must admit to being rather dazzled by the science and scientific terms and maybe a little bit baffled with the bumf behind the product, however it promises powerful results and I think that all you need to know is that the key ingredients include

Black Pine Extract
Black Tea
Antioxidant Flavanoid Quercetin

My thoughts

Apparently the results of this serum are clinically proven and as they were impressive to say the least, I had to put the claims to the test.

First off I love the classy black bottle and the dropper handily dispenses the perfect amount needed. The scent is rather curious and I would say quite masculine but I find it rather appealing.

Does it work... Over the past few weeks of using this serum I have noticed my skin looking smoother and feeling softer and generally more youthful looking. I have a couple of lines on my forehead that raise alarm bells when they start to appear and this serum is fading them making them virtually invisible which is good news.  What I love about it though is that when I wake up my skin looks lovely and rested and beautifully bright. This is good stuff!

Korres Colour Organic Face Primer

I am so excited to have discovered this primer, a fantastic product from a great company.

Korres claims

This is a "Certified organic, silicone free make-up primer with antioxidant, nourishing vitamin E, Jojoba oil and Edelweiss extract. This silky, fast-absorbing formulation – offering all the benefits of the primer yet without any silicone-related disadvantages - acts as a layer, keeping skin elastic and comfortable, while ensuring smooth, long-lasting make-up application."

What I think:

The packaging is attractive; It comes in an easy to use tube, smells fresh like lemons, glides on easily and is very moisturising and hydrating. It makes the skin very soft and smooth, and provides an excellent base for make-up. It left me looking radiant and fresh faced for 10 hours, and although my blusher had gone, my foundation remained in place. I was so pleased with the results; It does exactly what it promises and is free from all the nasties - You HAVE to buy this!

I prefer to limit the amount of chemicals that go on my skin so I love that this is dermatologically tested and free of mineral oil, paraben, propylene gycol, ethanolamine and silicone!
