Korres QUERCETIN & OAK Antiageing Eye Primer Review

First take a look at what Korres has to say about this product. Following exert is direct from the korres website and my review is to follow *no copyright intended*

    KEY INGREDIENTS

Now its my turn :)

I was very impresses with this primer. WOAH did I just say that? YES! I did! Since I do have somewhat of a hooded lid the best of the best primers crease on me UDPP the original does (not eden), NYX HD primer doesn’t as much but I do experience some fading. The first time I used the Korress primer I had a bit of creasing but it was minimal, the saying power however was amazing the best ive seen in a while. The second time I used it I got 18 hours of wear out of it WOAH BABY and practically no creasing.

As stated in the exert this product has a slight peachy tint to it so it does provide some coverage for discoloration and veins alike. Can be worn alone for that purpose or paired with makeup for a flawless fade proof look. It is on the pricey side but they do market it as a 3-in-1 product to justify it. Once you get over the fact that you are paying a lot of money for almost half of the product you can get from some brands you will understand the true meaning of quality. For a whopping 21usd at 0.14 fl oz. Compared to 19usd for UDPP at 0.37 fl oz. I consider it more in the range of a Laura Mercier 24usd at 0.25 fl oz.

Here are few perks you may consider as you ,may have seen in the exert for korres.com this primer is natural, anitaging, corrective and has the Korres name attached that we all love and trust.

All pictures are of a sample size 0.06 fl oz product







After 10 hours the studio light make it look more creased than it actually was



Would I recommend this product to everyone? Yes and no, if you are in the 13-19 range this product may break the bank and all of the benefits that it offers aren’t targeted toward you.

Now my ladies 20+ GO GET YOU SOME it is that time for you to care for your skin fine lines and wrinkles are around the corner products like this that treat or prevent (depending on your age) are key and worth the few extra bucks. This product may actually be a repurchase for me, and let me tell you I was beyond skeptical. I hope some of you found this helpful. As always I love you for reading youtube video link: http://youtu.be/N7rl0cgw77U

Beauty What?


Beauty Stat! Beautystat.com is a website that i am an official blogger for. I guess it has been about a year but i finally received my first product to review, and may recieve more in the future. I just wanted to take a moment to promise you as always my reviews will remain honest!!! I am never compensated for any review/video where the product i receive is from beauty stat. I am in no way affiliated with any company in witch the product i receive is from beauty stat. That being said the only perk i get is the product i am reviewing. Most often it will be a sample size, and periodically a full size product. I love love love you guys and i know you respect my opinion and would never let my opinion be swayed regardless of the circumstances. Have a Beautylicious day my loves

You Want What Back?


My groove back?! NO... My money back?! NO...... My sexy back?! NEVER LEFT!! As almost everyone knows i strained a vocal cord about 2 years ago. It was devastating hearing someone tell me i might not ever get my singing voice back. That made me completely shut music out of my life i didn't write music for a year, and seeing any form of a talent competition on TV brought tears to my eyes lol (that should be me boo hoo). I love to perform it always made me who i was and not having the same powerful voice i did before made me hopeless. I substitute it with doing makeup and designing,those thing are amazing and give me something to focus on but in the end its just that "a substitute". Looking back i probably should have sucked it up got myself back into singing lessons but its not that easy when you're actually faced with it. I remember my friend Stella told me once "you don't need college you have talent" and now that all im thinking about is what i need to go to school for (don't get me wrong knowledge is power) i forgot how talented i am and how much i miss singing, dancing and how being on stage makes me feel. I need it back, that feeling, passion the one thing that has always made me Jacqui. Now that 2 years have passed i cant wait much longer i want the stage back. I start vocal lessons saturday (hopefully its not to late to fix them)! Cheers to me getting the stage back! Its where i belong.
