Korres: What's Good?

[BettyJoanPerske]

I just wonder about this brand, the packaging is gorgeous and I am tempted by it: I signed up for the website and will get 15% off the first order. I love the look of the olive oil soap and of the yoghurt cleanser. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

My best recommendation is look in tk maxx as they often have it in their much cheaper.

I've been using the guava body butter for about 20 years and still absolutely love it. So moisturising and it smells like holidays. DH always complained when we went to Greece because I'd be in every single pharmacy looking for it!

Edited to add: it doesn't look like they stock it on the UK site. It always has been oddly difficult to get hold of. Sorry about that!

Oh wow, good tip! Thanks!

Olive honey and pear shower gel smells amazing but it is a bit expensive so I look out for special offers.

The yoghurt after sun is incredible as is the Olive Oil shower gel - latter smells delicious.

I love their Black Pepper and Mountain Pepper scents.

ive bought a black pepper shower cleanser one to rake on holiday and it smells gorgeous

It's really lovely stuff, a hotel spa in Greece had their products and I have used them since. Think mainly organic.

Whilst I enjoy looking at it (and smelling it!) in Greece, I always buy in TK Maxx for a fraction of the price. My favourite summer scents are yoghurt and guava - they just smell of summer! TK’s has been good for yoghurt this summer but as pp mentioned I’ve not seen guava for a while, it’s been a favourite for years. I’m using Lefko at the moment which is gorgeous and leaves a lovely summery scent on the skin, even the shower gel lasts on the skin. Lemon basil is good too.
Vanilla cinnamon is my favourite winter scent. I also like violet and pistachio too. Their olive range is excellent as well.

The rose lip balm is fabulous. I stock up every year in Greece . All the perfume/ aftershave is really really good . Violet shower wash is lovely too . Their face creams are great too . I just think it’s a great brand . Tkmaxx definitely for the shower gels .

Ooh I’ve never noticed it in TKM. Will have a look.

waitrose used to stock this brand, they may still do. I’ve never bought the olive things that are more popular, but I really liked anything Korres that was pear or fig scented.

I have always loved the Lemon & Basil and Jasmine shower gels and accompanying body cream. I get mine when I go to Greece although, as others have said, TK Maxx is a good shout as they usually have it.

I love it too. If you ever go to France Monoprix (praise be) has loads of the Korres range including perfume which is beautiful. They also used to stock the Korres make up range which was fantastic but they stopped a couple of years ago sadly.

I love their moisturiser. They used to do a fantastic rose lip butter but sadly now discontinued.

They do an advent calendar every year which isn't too expensive, if you waited a few weeks you could use your new customer 15% on that. Good way to try a selection of items. Last year was a mixture of creams, serums, body washes etc.

I’m off to Greece soon and will definitely treat myself!

@OvaHere I didn't know that they do an advent calendar. I shall be looking our for that!

I’ve been using their shampoo and conditioner for years. Can't remember which flavour. I recently bought the olive oil soap to make up an order. It's OK but a bit pungent for me. I probably wouldn't get it again.

Also, how does everyone pronounce Korres? Does it rhyme with bores (as in people who are boring) or Boris?

I like the yogurt foaming cleanser and yogurt intense moisturiser :)

I love the Olive Oil soap it’s very good for my skin and the smell is really lovely. Though it is very green and herbal smelling.

I used to use the citrus body lotion but, when in Greece last year they didn’t have any but a lot of floral ones.

I was going to ask whether it was pronounced ko-res or kors?

This was last year's advent and list of contents.

Wow, thank you! I think that's exactly what I'll do!!
