Korres Wild Rose + Castanea Arcadia Collection

November 4, 2016

Korres is a really well known skincare brand that focuses on natural ingredients. No one can really pronounce Korres but I’ll go with kor-rez. I remember wanting to try the brand but Sephora pulled them a few years ago. Now it’s back at Shoppers Drug Mart and I’m excited to share with you some products that are new to the brand.

Korres Wild Rose Collection

The Korres Wild Rose collection is one of their best sellers and this year they came out with two new items to supplement the collection.

Brightening Targeted Tone Corrector- $60

This treatment is suppose to reduce the appearance of dark spots, even skin tone and improve skin radiance. I have a couple of dots on my face that I desperately want to get rid of. But I keep hearing mixed comments from dermatologists. Some say that they are moles and can’t be removed and some say laser treatment would work. Either way, I still get excited when I see products that will reduce dark spots.
The serum contains a ton of ingredients such as Wild Rose Oil for cellular regeneration, French Sea Fern active to decrease excess pigment formation and Sand Lily extract to inhibit the formation and transfer of melanin. These all sound great but I guess what I have isn’t meant for this as I did not see any results after using it for 2 weeks.
It does seem to get good reviews for those with acne scaring so that may be worth a try! But it didn’t quite work for me.

Wild Rose Vitamin C Active Brightening Oil- $75

The other exciting product to be added to the Wild Rose line up is this facial oil featuring lots of pretty rose petals in the bottle. This product is a modernized version of the bestselling original product and the first ingredient used in the Korres.
The product promises brightening, tone repairing, and fine line reduction, while soothing and nourishing for a supple, radiant, youthful complexion that glows with health. It can be worn alone, with serums and moisturizers, or mixed into moisturizer for a dewy glow.
I’m not a big fan of facial oils as I don’t like the feeling on my hands after I pat the product in. This did make my face feel supple but I didn’t notice any brightening effects. Additionally I don’t think this was hydrating enough on its own and I noticed some skin flakes after a few days. I do love the packaging though and it is gorgeous to display on the vanity.

Korres Castanea Arcadia Collection

New for Fall 2016, Korres released a new collection called Castanea Arcadia. This collection features a new ingredient called Lupeol which contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin regenerative properties.. Korres discovered a way to encase Lupeol inside a hyluronic acid shell so it can penetrate the skin and this collection was born!
The collection features a day cream, night cream and eye cream. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and although I do not have wrinkles or other visible signs of aging, I feel an improvement in my skin texture. I wake up feeling tons of elasticity and bounce in my skin particularly in my cheeks!
All of the products have an earthy aromatic scent. It’s a bit like honey and olives and other earthy things.

Wrinkle Rewind Day Cream- $65

The day cream includes other natural ingredients such as: Abyssinia oil, Apricot oil, olive oil esters, , sweet almond butter, essential fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, and E for increased hydration. The cream is very light and fluffy in texture. It absorbs quickly and is ideal for use before makeup application.

Wrinkle Rewind Night Cream – $80

The night cream is a lot thicker and has a velvety texture. The other natural ingredients include jojoba oil, chamomile oil and apricot oil. I mostly wash my face at night time so this one gets used a lot more than the day cream. It really does make a difference and I can feel my skin feeling healthy and supple the morning after.
It feels very hydrating without feeling greasy or oily. I have dry skin so I find this is fantastic for keeping my skin moisturized.

Wrinkle Rewind Eye Cream- $60

The eye cream comes with a pump which is great for keeping things hygienic. It is aimed to lift, smooth and firm the delicate skin around the eye, while reducing sagging and brightening skin tone. I haven’t really noticed any effect but it is a very nice product to have to moisturize the eye area. Usually, I only need half a pump for each eye.  I especially love using this after I remove eye makeup and feel that I have irritated the area.
Overall my favorite product is the Castanea Arcadia Night Cream. I feel like it really does make a difference in my skin the next day. And although the Wild Rose Brightening Oil didn’t work out for me, it is very popular among online reviews and might be worth giving a try! It also looks amazing on the bathroom counter or on a vanity.
What are your favorite items from Korres? Do you usually stick to one brand for skin care?

Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤 Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❤️‍🔥🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single eyeshadow from merit is all I need! 💚
I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!

Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?
