I always love a bit of rose in my skincare, and I've been incorporating quite a few rose themed products into my skincare routine the last month or two. Korres' Wild Rose line has always been on my radar, especially after I tried the Greek Yoghurt Sleeping Facial and was really curious about the Wild Rose version.
I picked up a deluxe sample size of the Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial from Sephora recently, and have enjoyed using it as an overnight mask. I think it works nicely to hydrate the skin, and perhaps if I hadn't tried Sisley's Black Rose equivalent, I would say that this one was a must have. But, unfortunately for my wallet, I did try Sisley's, so Korres' moderately priced and effective option will be used up but not repurchased.
Similarly, I think the Korres Wild Rose Brightening 24-Hour Moisturizer* does its job by keeping my skin hydrated. It keeps my skin looking pretty good! However, I do have to note that there is something about the scent of this line that I'm not totally in love with. I can't describe it, and it may just be me, as I have been told by people I know and read in many reviews that this line smells very good. (And no, it doesn't smell bad at all... it just isn't quite the fresh rose that I hope for?)
All in all, I like the range and probably would have loved it had I not tried some other (pricier!) products I enjoy more. Have you tried anything from the Korres Wild Rose line? Do you like rose ingredients in your skincare too? I'd love to know! :)

Kate Somerville is a brand I always keep my eyes on. I haven't used much from the brand, but there are always products that intrigue me. In the fall, I was starting to run low on my trusty (and discontinued!) Murad spot treatment, so I decided to try out a treatment from Kate Somerville instead. I debated between the standard spot treatment, the D-Scar, and landed on the Anti Bac Acne Clearing Lotion.
After I finished my last cleanser, I've been going through my stash of deluxe samples to see what else I might fall in love with. There's a whole lot of cleansers on trial over here at BB HQ, and while I haven't found a new favorite, there are definitely some good ones in the bunch.
I've been on a green skincare kick lately, and this serum from Kahina Giving Beauty has been such a staple these last few months. I had never tried the brand before purchasing one of the A Night for Green Beauty x Goodebox collaborations at the beginning of the summer, and all I can say is that I wished I purchased every one of their boxes!
