Korres Haul

Hey boys and girls, I have been very naughty recently and have been buying a lot of skincare and makeup when I already have so much. It was such a good deal that I just could not resist!!! There has just been so many sales going on recently that I just couldn't pass up on cause I would be so disappointed in myself. 

This is yet another Winner's haul, it is probably one of my favourite stores for random things that I don't necessarily need but will buy because it is such a good deal. Not sure if that made any sense whatsoever. I picked up these things from a Winners in Pickering off of Brock exit which is about 15 min from Toronto. They had a bunch of Korres and Smashbox makeup items that were extremely discounted. I picked up only 3 things although I wanted a lot more. I picked up 2 blushes at $5.99CAD (originally $24.00CAD) each which is probably cheaper than any decent drugstore blushes from Revlon, Maybelline and Cover Girl. I also picked up a setting powder from Korres for $6.99CAD(originally $25.00CAD). 

I do not currently own anything from the brand but was interested in it because of their skincare and makeup are formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and phthalates. 

Pros:

- finely milled and doesn't feel heavy

- decent at preventing disco ball syndrome

- paraben free

- sleek packaging

- large mirror inside good for touch ups

- did not extenuate dry patches making it good for all skin types

- free from mineral oil, propylene glycol, and ethanolamine

Cons:

- sheer; more like a translucent powder

- crappy sponge provided

- this formula might be discontinued (New Formula)

Applications: 

- best done with a super fluffy and medium density powder brush

I got this shade with the intention of using it as a bronzer. It does have small amounts of shimmer in the product and with swatches it proves to have the tiniest sheen with orange undertone hence the name. I was disappointed with this product simply because it could not function as a bronzer and I was not over impress with the pigmentations. 

Pro: 

- nice packaging with mirror

- soft and finely milled

Cons:

- weird smell

- sheer as hell

- too much shimmer

- poor colour choice on my part
