Zalando POPUP Store & Blogger Awards in Amsterdam
A few days ago I attended the Zalando blogger awards 2013 event that took place at the Zalando pop up store at Kalverstraat in Amsterdam. Zalando invited me to this event and I couldn't say no since I thought that it would be a fun night haha. It was pretty crowded so it was a bit hard to take pictures and also with my height it was hard since i'm a shorty pants. I'm glad that I met some fellow beauty & fashion bloggers at the event, so I wasn't alone after all haha ^^.
Anyways, here are a few shots that I took just to give you an impression of the atmosphere of the store:

Review: KORRES Thyme Honey Moisturizing Cream
I started to use the Thyme Honey moisturizing cream from Korres. I've been testing this product out for a month now and I'm still satisfied with it. Last year I had seen many videos on Youtube about the products of Korres and the Wild rose 24h moisturizing cream seemed to be the most popular. I wasn't able to get that product so I chose* the Thyme Honey moisturizing cream. This brand is well known because of the natural ingredients in their products.
What does it claims?
Honey, a natural hydrating agent, helps skin keep an ideal level of moisture, while providing intense nourishment and elasticity to dry skin. The extract of Imperata cylindrica continually regulates the cellular water equilibrium, thus providing 24-hour moisturizing. Due to its special texture, thyme honey cream absorbs easily, while leaving the skin soft and moisturized. This product is suitable for dry to dehydrated skin.

Where to buy?
Korres products are all manufactured in Greece. Their products are also sold in The Netherlands at the online store Zalando, in Germany, France, Switzerland, Australia, Cyprus, China, USA, UK, Scotland, Finland, Czech Republic and in Dubai.
Packaging
The product comes in a sturdy cardboard box, with an extra cover with the English version of the product information, the primary box contains the information in Greek. The boxes are also stamped with an expiry date, which is repeated on the actual product. This date on the packaging refers to unopened products. They recommend to use this product within 6 months after opening. All the packaging is marked as recyclable which is stated on the box. I actually like the look of the container more, which is made of glass and aluminum. There is an extra cover above the moisturizing cream, which I'm holding in the picture. It also comes with a small scoop, so that you're able to scoop the product out. The small scoop is very useful and hygienic.
Texture & scent
It has a honey scent, which isn't overwhelming and the cream is quite thick. This isn't suitable as a day cream because of the thick texture. It also takes a bit long to absorb into the skin. It takes at least 20-30 minutes to absorb which is way too long for me in the morning. That's why I'm using this cream at night. It also leaves a little bit of sticky feeling after applying and unfortunately it gives me an oily face in the morning =(.
Price
It costs €23,95 at Zalando for 40ml 1.35 fl oz. I have been using this every night for 1 month and I haven't used much of it yet. You don't need a lot of product at once, but I do think that I am able to finish this within 6 months
Key ingredients
Does it do what it claims?
♥ Is my face moisturized for 24 hours? My skin does feel moisturized, but not for the whole day, probably for 12 hours.
♥ Absorbs easily? It takes 20-30 minutes to absorb, depending how thick you apply it on your face. Which means that it takes a while until its completely absorbs.
♥ Leaves skin soft? A bit soft, but it also leaves me a bit of sticky feeling.
My opinion
♥ Repurchase? No
This product is great as a night cream. I love it that it contains a lot of natural contents, it just gives me a better feeling while using it. It doesn't really do what it claims, but I do recommend this to people with a dry - dehydrated skin, because it does moisturizes the skin well and the dry flakes/spots on the face will go away because of this. Things that I don't like about the product is the sticky feeling afterwards, the long absorption time and the oily face that I'm getting in the morning. Because of these cons I don't think that I will purchase this product again.
