Hi There

KORRES

KORRES

By now, you guys have probably heard that Greek beauty brand, Korres (pronounced “KORRE” without the “S”) will be making its way to South Africa in November this year! Aren’t you excited about this new brand? Well, you should be! When I was in Greece last month, I purchased some of their sun-care and body products. Yes, I do buy beauty products as well – just in case you’re wondering :). Anyhoo! Let me tell you that these products are amazing! KORRES do a whole range of beauty products from skincare to haircare, body care to makeup and fragrances. I tested out some of their makeup in the stores and it’s quite impressive, but since I ran out of sunscreen and body cream while I was on holiday, and I didn’t want to hoard too much back – I only bought a few products. I checked in with Edgars, who will be stocking KORRES in select stores, and it looks like some of these will be available when the brand hits SA, others not. Regardless, they are definitely still worth a mention – especially since a lot of my readers do go overseas and I also have lots of visitors from outside SA…

New Product! Filorga UV Defense SPF 50+

New Product! Filorga UV Defense SPF 50+

Another exciting product launch from my current favourite skincare brand, Filorga! Only a few days left of August, then Spring Time Baby! As we head into summer, September sees the launch of Filorga’s brand new UV-Defense. A sunscreen that offers the highest quality UVA & UVB protection, with a dual benefit, boasting Filorga’s powerful anti-ageing ingredients in the mix. UV-Defense contains Filorga’s patented NCTF poly-revitalising formula, combined with hyaluronic acid. This is the same ingredient formulation that is used in Filorga’s aesthetic mesotherapy range. In UV-Defense, this formulation allows the ingredients to be transported deep into the skin, to offer maximum protection. Sounds pretty impressive doesn’t it?

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream – Targeted Sun Defense Stick

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream – Targeted Sun Defense Stick

I’ve always been a huge believer in Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It’s just one of those cult products that every woman loves and always keeps in her handbag. This summer though, there is a new type of Eight Hour Cream designed specially to keep your skin protected from the sun. It’s Elizabeth Arden’s new Eight Hour Cream Targeted Defense Stick and it sure beats the hell out of those lumo orange and green sunscreens the cricket players love wearing. I don’t know about you, but a bright orange or lumo  green nose is a no-no, even if you are a hottie like Graeme Smith. I don’t actually watch cricket, so I don’t know if they still do the whole lumo war paint these days, but if they do, these guys should just get themselves one of these handy little sticks and keep the sun at bay. I know I’ll be keeping one in my beach bag. It’s super small; about the same size of a lip ice tube and probably about double the width if you can picture that? It’s great to protect areas like the nose, lips, earlobes and even scars you don’t want to get darker. The stick glides on super smooth, and although the original Eight Hour Cream is quite an oily product,…
