VIP Launch of Korres Skincare & their signature Wild Rose Collection

Tuesday 30^th October. Villa Arrigo.

Walking up the stairs, we couldn’t be more excited for the launch of Korres Skincare, and their newly launched Wild Rose Collection. We were welcomed with prosecco, embellished with a rose petal - aptly reflecting the collection we were there to learn about.

The event in itself was quite different to others that I’ve been to – it was intimate, highly informative and we had a wonderful time. After chatting with other bloggers and influencers, we were kindly asked to sit down at a long table decorated with wild rose cut outs and the products from the collection right in front of us. After the lovely brand manager, Stephanie, gave us an introduction to the brand, she delved into some key points about each product – which we could test out whilst hearing all about it.  

If you’ve never heard of Korres Skincare, let me give you some background to it. Korres is a Greek skin care brand with roots in Athens’ oldest homoeopathic pharmacy. The brand’s aim is to utilise its extensive scientific resources (Lena Korres, the wife of George Korres, is a chemical engineer) for the development of clinical effective and safe products, producing a natural and certified organic range in all areas of beauty and skincare. They feel that they have a commitment to natural products which truly deliver results to their consumers. What I loved the most whilst hearing all about the brand, was the fact that on their products they have what they call ‘Formula Facts’. This contains the percentage of natural content and which ingredients are in and not in the product, so you’ll have a good idea of what it doesn’t contain as well – usually, brands only list what the product contains rather than what it doesn’t – which I found very interesting.

The Wild Rose Collection promotes brightening and active radiance. It contains Wild Rose Oil which is a natural source of Vitamin C, which demonstrates significant repairing activity to fine lines and skin colour disorders while adding brightness and radiance to the skin. Whilst reading this you might say, “this doesn’t apply to me as I don’t have fine lines”, however, this range is for all skin types and all age groups – we say that prevention is better than cure and it couldn’t be truer. Vitamin C helps give you that radiance your skin lacks whilst helping you keep fine lines at bay – so need I say more?

To close off the lovely evening, we had a beauty station offering hairstyles incorporating roses and hand massages using Korres hand creams. Plus, a flatlay station which was amazing! It was all set up with lights and an array of props (which I definitely need for my personal collection!) and we had a flatlay challenge amongst the invitees using the products from the collection and any props we liked – and I unexpectedly won! 

I can’t wait to test out some products from the range and tell you more about them once I get a good feel of the products – I have a feeling that I’ll be quite impressed as they look (and smell!) fantastic! Baby smooth skin, here I come!
