KORRES COMPACT POWDER
Even though I bought this before Christmas I sadly have had little time to really test it out to its full potential. These are just my initial thoughts .
I happened upon this item at Winners and felt it was worth grabbing because it was only $7. If your familiar with Korres products then you know they tend to fall under the high end spectrum of the cosmetic and skincare world.
I really think the compact was a big selling point for me its well made and very clean and modern looking. Also it just happened with the few that were there this was the perfect colour for me.
As you can see it comes with a square sponge applicator that has a white leatherette look and feel on the one side. Apparently this product is intended for normal/dry skin so we will see how this plays out on my oily skin (oops missed that memo)
This powder is velvety smooth, finely milled and is coated in a rich botanical blend that is suppose to be emollient to the skin.
Korres compact powder is dermatologist tested and free from mineral oil, propylene glycol and ethanolamine which I can't even pronounce, so should we really be putting those things on our skin any way???? probably not!
I do smell the essence of olive oil in this product, but its very mild, I just have a very sensitive nose. Also there is rice starch in it which I imagine helps to absorb some of the excess oil.
I think this product will be great as a finishing powder to complete and set your makeup. I will try to update later once I have actually used it for a while to see how it stacks up to less expensive compact powders and if Korres is worth the hype and price.
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU OWN ANYTHING FROM KORRES???
THANKS FOR READING EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT DAY:)
