KORRES PARTY SURVIVAL GIFT AND GIVE AWAY! GREEN CHI TUESDAYS!

Wow, what is going on in the world that all of our morning after stories have to do with booze! What lushes our parents are raising...anyway, I must admit that my story too has to do with alcohol. A bit long, but I will try to be as brief as possible. Names have been excluded to protect the innocent (or not so innocent as the case may be). The scene, first week of college, first party (football team), best friend from high-school's boyfriend on football team so only freshman girl invited, and then me thinking I can hang with the big boys. Am suckered into playing drinking "games" with the team. Lose all rounds of course. Have to go to the bathroom, in which I promptly pass out and am locked in in the only bathroom in the "pool house". Am awakened by loud banging on the door as angry revilers stand in line with legs crossed (and mouths covered). Am finally coherent enough to open door and am escorted to buses hired to drive drunk party goers home. Begin ride home in bus on winding roads with other party poopers (who also just couldn't hang) only to find the ride and those turns going downhill not agreeing with stomach. Decide it is a great idea to wretch right there on floor of bus (noone knows me anyway). Of course since we are going downhill it all flows to front of said bus, but then at the next stop it flows back to the back of same bus (oops, everyone watch your feet). Am promptly kicked off said bus at dorm stop but cannot figure out how to get in, so I lay in nice pink flowers outside of front door. They looked soft and comfy at the time. WWake up next morning in dorm room, in bed, with half of clothing still on (and when I say half, I mean it...one leg in and one leg out, one sleeve on and one sleeve off). To this day, I have no idea how I got back into dorm...maybe one of the football players felt guilty!

OMG, Chi Chi and girls...not only did my brand spankin new Sephora NOT have this for my hostess (I got her the Caudalie gift set instead though, which she loved)...they didn't have it for me and I needed it SOOO bad yesterday morning! What is it about those parties? You get all cranked up on cheap wine (my poison of the evening was my very own bottle of 3 buck Chuck Shiraz - which goes down way too easily when it's that cheap), and then you spend a hundred bucks on all these lotions and potions that amount to nothing more than slathering yourself with a tube of Ben Gay - I could've saved lots of money and gone to the corner drugstore...now there's a good Thursday DD topic! I"m not saying it was ALL a waste of money - and the bf and I sure had fun trying to justify my spending. If I had had this kit yesterday morning though, I may not have sent the party planner an email entitled "where's my coochy cream?" only to find I'd already put it in my shower sometime during the evening! no memory of that one. I also may not have, as it was described by a client at the hair salon, "red velvet cake" colored hair! Yes, I went and got my hair dyed yesterday and with my hangover just said take the blonde out and make it red. And she's like really red, and I'm like sure whatever... well it's RIDICULOUSLY RED and we had no time to tone it, b/c I was late getting to my makeup appt (with carmaqara!). So now I look like Sharon Osborne (actually it's kinda fun - if my job wasn't "teacher") and I can't get it fixed until Tuesday night. So...I NEED this Party Survival Kit BADLY - because even though I swore up and down yesterday that I'm too old to do this anymore, I still have a case of 3 buck Chuck left and lots of lotions and potions!

I could literally kick myself for not picking up some Korres products while I was in Greece this summer. Everytime I shop online I love to look at what type of kits they have...I think I'm gonna break down and pick up some of their body butters because of all the wonderful reviews I've seen here and on other posts. When I drink, really drink, which is not that often it has to be planned because I'm not getting out of bed for awhile. I'm too damn old now to quickly recover. However, when I do get out of bed this would make a welcome addition to my hangover cure (starchy comfort food, lots of cold, unsweetened tea, oh & of course 3 ibuprofen):)

Hello I want to know if anyone have tried any of Korres produtcs for celulite. I love Korres, and I know they have a new tratment (with 2 creams and 1 oil for celulite, ANYONE HAVE TRIED IT? THANKS ANA.

It’s a Filet of Fish, French fries and a coke for me, ahhhhhhhhhhh. And now I have Korres Party Survival Kit to help me with those morning afters when I’m feeling awful because I didn’t take my make up off the night before. Like DD said, they are great for those everyday kind a mornings too. I’m heading off on a business trip Sat and the size of the items are perfect for travel. Needless to say once I see all my friends in London there will be some mornings when I’ll need “the kit”.

Funny thing is that even if Korres cosmetics weren't as good as they are, just by opening that golden box and using the cute little product bottles you forget your hangover!What works the best for me in terms of post-party survival is the Guava shower gel. The smell of it makes me awake and blissful, like a good cup of coffee.Of course the Wild Rose moisturizer is wisely made to be a 24 hour one (who knows what time you'll end up putting it on your face!)and it has that extra moisture kick you need after a wild night and so does the Evening Primrose Eye Cream.At this point I have to confess that after parties I am always too lazy to take off my makeup in a proper manner, but surprisingly enough the Guava shower gel did an excellent job on my face too!I know, I shouldn't be doing that. But it worked!Also, the lemon flavor of the gum wasn't chosen randomly: The essence of fruits that have high vitamin C concentration (like lemons and oranges) are known to stimulate parts of your brain that make you alert and happy.Go lemons!

Oh my how I wish I had this kit over the past few years. I was not well over New Years and have not had a reason to drink into oblivion since I received this but I did do some sampling while I was under the weather. It even helps you with your everyday cold. I love the eyecream as it instantly helped my puffy sick eyes so I could at least look some what presentable to pick-up cold meds and the shower gel is divine! This kit will come in very handy next Vegas trip or in a few months when I see ChiChi!

I haven't tried any Korres products, but they're very much onmy to-buy list. I've been thinking of picking up this set since before Christmas. So my worst day after followed a night when I drank 3x more than I had ever drank in my life and I had mixed everything, cocktails, beers, shots, long island iced teas, everything! I don't remember the last hour that I was in the club, but suffice to there was much craziness, puking, and paranoia. Important detail: I was in San Antonio in a very urban area. When I come to, I'm next to someone I've never seen before (luckily, I do recall that nothing happened there, thank God). I walk out the door of where we were and I'm in the desert. All around me all there is to see are pickup trucks, yucca plants, and dirt. I have no idea where I am, I'm still nauseous, I can't eat, and I'm supposed to be catching a plane out of San Antonio in a few hours. Luckily, I ended up only being a couple of hours from home, but have you had to endure liftoff, in the window seat next to a psychiatrist andhis wife, with a hangover and you're still nauseous. NOT FUN!! I don't think they ever realized how much danger they were in sitting next to me.

Tick, tock ladies. If you want a chance to win this fabulous kit from Korres, now’s the time to post! Oh and thanks to everyone that’s shared a story. Some embarrassing moments, bad decisions and even chopped teeth! Very entertaining so far. Mel9, did you get this for your hostess gift? More importantly, how was your party?

And while we live in a world that is full of nastiness. There is nothing I like more than to rid my skin of all the days’ dirt! I particularly liked Korres Milk Proteins 3 in 1 Cleansing Emulsion because does it all! It gets all your makeup off quickly and at the same time. It’s a wonderful cleaner and toner and provides essential moisture with natural plant extracts and milk proteins. My skin felt so soft and smooth instantly. I also read that it forms a hydrating film that attracts and bonds water molecules. You can feel that too! That’s just amazing stuff! This all-natural emulsion is ideal for all skin types, even dry and sensitive. There are absolutely no traces of drying soaps and irritating chemicals. Got to try it, you’ll like it! I also loved the Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer a lot! It goes on as if it’s meant to be on right after the Milk Proteins 3 in 1 cleanser. Wow, it actually can be noticed when you look at your skin. It looks so clear, and smooth. Then it does get event better with the Evening Primrose Eye Cream. It also is a great product. Kiss those bags and dark circles so long! They are definitely reduced too. Who ever dreamt this idea up was a genius. Give him/her a cookie!

These stories are hilarious!I wanted to say that this kit would make and awesome party gift! Imagian having it sitting on the table in front of every guest! IT might even encourage some serious partying!

man oh man i can't wait to try something from Korres!!

Oh the morning after, when you swear you are never going to drink again! How many times have I made that promise? One of the great times was having one to many margaritas with the girls, only to have to wake up the next morning to be out on a boat sampling (ie fishing), imagine the rolling swells along with horrible fishy smells. I get on the boat only to realize that I'm not hungover, I'm still drunk! The hangover came about 2hrs later and was terrible! The worst morning after had nothing to do with alcohol, or very little. The day I defending my master's degree we went out to celebrate. I had a drink and a half, then ate dinner. We all parted ways to get swimsuits to continue the party in the hot tub. During this time my stomach starts feeling gurgly, but I ignore it. Have to get up and leave hot tub. Just looking at alcohol makes me feel even worse. Finally I have to ask all my guests we are celebrating my accomplishment without me to go home. I spend the rest of the night with a raging case of food poisoning on the bathroom floor. I had a phone interview the next day, so after being up all night evacuating my guts from all points, I do the "Mommy, I'm sick" phone call at 7am to see how I can make it into work to do the interview. Drag myself in with trash can in tow and somehow do the interview, many explanations of "No I didn't party that much, I got food poisoning..." At least the interview wasn't in person! How do you politely excuse yourself to throw up?

Ewwww McDonald's biscuit makes me want to vomit and I'm sober. Hey mel9 I bet your students know what an girls only adult toy party is. I'm actually a pretty good drunk, most of the stories I have are about other ppl. One of the days when this would have came in handy was a very very cold morning after. The night b4 I had puked out the passenger side of our SUV, I ran in the house and continued to rid myself of to much liquor, HOB went to bed. In the AM he said "Please go clean off the side of the car". Out I go and there is my vomit frozen solid for almost the lenghth of the Durango. It took me lot's of hot water and scrubbing to get that off. I was so mad at him, no not myself but him. If that was him in the situation I would have cleaned it up, gave him water and Advil after he was done being sick, let him sleep late in a nice dark quite room. Needless to say I have never gotten sick in a vehicle again.

that looks awesome! i really wanna try it!
