Happy New Year girls!

This is Solero (a.k.a. Eleni Solomou for the curious ones out there) and since today is the first day of the year we thought of giving you something better than a review. We’re going to give you a gift!

The gift we received for the New Year is Korres Natural Products, the world-renowned Greek company that started out as a small homeopathic pharmacy, has been added to Megsmakeup’s list of wonderful cosmetic companies that value our reviews and your opinion. But that was our gift. Yours is even better and I’m going tell you all about it along with my Christmas story.

When I was a kid, every time I was walking around Athens with my mom, we passed outside her favorite pharmacy and she kept telling me tales about it. She said that it was not just a pharmacy. She said that there were scientists working in a lab in the back. She said that they were actually making everything they sold there on their own. I’m not sure if that was really the case, but I’m sure that Korres has been one of the best kept secrets in Athens.


In October of 2007, Korres.com opened its first U.S. store in Manhattan. The space looks like a cutting edge New York loft (you know, the kind of lofts we all dream of when we think of the Big Apple) - so industrial and well designed that any self respecting cosmetic company would be jealous of.

Guess what ? Their all natural products are as amazing as their new space!

Their New Year’s gift to all Megsmakeup.com readers is a special 20% discount on their products for the whole month of January. No, that didn’t sound nearly as exciting as it actually is, let me rephrase: OMG, KORRES GIVES A 20% DISCOUNT JUST TO MEGSMAKEUP GIRLS AT THEIR NEW SOHO STORE THROUGHOUT JANUARY!

Doesn’t this somehow tell you that 2008 is going to be awesome?

All of you lucky girls that live out there (and when I say lucky I mean LUCKY) just go to 110 Wooster Street in New York, NY 10012 and say the magic word “Megsmakeup.com”.

It’s one of those things you don’t wanna miss, take my word for it.

I really hope that one day it will be me who takes my mom out for a walk around my favorite city, just so I can stop at Wooster street and tell her the rest of that little pharmacy’s tale.

Excuse my cheesiness, it must be the remains of the Christmas spirit enhanced by the excitement of the upcoming Korres’ reviews and exaggerated by me missing my mom.

Until then, I hope you enjoy your generous discount to the fullest!

Any other Korres lovers out there?

I was wondering if I should move to NYC or not and then I saw the news. Maybe this is a sign? In a less spiritual mood: Korres has the BEST body lotions ever. And if you are a smoker, you should try the whitening toothpaste.

I was just in NYC right before Christmas but unfortunately didn't make it to SoHo. Now I wish I had just so that I could have visited the new Korres store. I've been hearing so much about the lip butters and can't wait to get my hands on them. Happy shopping NYC ladies!

Happy New Year everyone! I discovered the Korres Bath Gel at desertdolls house and loved it so much; I took it home with me! It smells fantastic and produces a great foamy lather - it’s the Green Tea scent and yummy. One of you (lucky) NYC ladies, please go and let us all know about the new shop! Solero, you are a lucky lady too - browsing the streets of Athens with your Mom - sounds wonderful.

OMG where have I been? I had no idea Korres opened in SoHo! I discovered Korres in Greece last summer and would have stocked up there except for the annoying liquid restrictions on the airlines. I did manage to grab eye pencils and some of the small tubes of cream at the cute shop in the Athens airport. LOVE LOVE LOVE Korres.

I just bought at sephora the white tea gel facial cleanser and it's a winner for me. I was a little hesitant to try this beeing a suki and juice beauty lover. But this rank as high for me. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and very soft. The smell is just ok, still getting use to it but it's all natural and paraben free. I'm also using the primrose eye cream and Pomegranate balancing moisturizer for oily-combination skin. The Pomegranate moisturizer smell heavenly. Love this stuff and it's a bit cheaper than suki about the same as juice beauty. The eye cream feel a little heavy but I only use it at night.
