I bought the Korres Coconut Guava and I love it. I have never tried Korres before but it feels really great on my skin. My dry legs look moisturized and smooth now.I hope the crepe smoothing effect kicks in. I will be buying more in the future.

@chessylady I ordered the coconut guava as well and am excited to get it never tried it before so glad you say it’s a good one!

Curious about the mint tea scent and if people like it. Might be a nice scent to pick up in the jumbo shower gel.

What does everyone else think???

I received the Lilac/Hyacinth today/  As my UPS man handed me the box he said, "Are there lilacs in this box?"  The aroma was very present.  I opened the box and saw no bubble wrap or any kind of cushioning. Korres specials are usually in a gift box; these were rolling around in a plain old brown box.

I didn't open any items. (customary for me in case I want to gift the item) The scent does appear to be spot on for lilac.

Mine came packaged the same way, but I've never ordered Korres before so I wasn't aware of how they shipped.  But I do love the TS, the body butter was HUGE!!  Very happy with my first purchase.

The Korres Greek Goddess perfume is on Extended Delivery, so it's not expected to be delivered until sometime around the 17th of the month.

I did receive the Korres 4 Floral Body Butters Set yesterday, along with the Olive & Olive Blossom EDT.

Here is a product description for them:

I have not tried the body creams yet, but I did try the Olive & Olive Blossom EDT.

I think that it's a really beautiful fragrance.

It smells very clean and fresh.

When you first put it on, you can smell the olive notes, then the citrusy notes, and then the citrus notes mixed with the olive notes remain and stay more noticeable.

It's not overpowering to me. I think that it dries to a soft fragrance. My husband noticed it and thought that it smelled pretty.

Here is the product description from HSN:

Hi @Pixie66 ,

From what I have noticed, I think that they might use recycled packaging with some of their product boxes, like perhaps their fragrance boxes?

The boxes that their perfumes/EDT sprays come in are closed, but not sealed.

By the time that the product box gets to me, it is opened up on the inside. By that, I am talking about the inner product Korres box--not the shipping HSN box.

Usually there is one of those plastic inflated packing strips in the HSN shipping box, but nothing else, so the product contents usually are able to slide around the shipping box if more than one item is packed in a larger shipping box.

My Korres body creams were packed in a couple of Korres boxes before being packed in another shipping box for HSN, and then it was put into another HSN shipping box with the Olive Blossom EDT spray.

I wish that the Olive Blossom EDT Korres box either would have been sealed/taped, or would have been put inside another smaller packing box for safer delivery because the cap to the bottle was loose on there.

Nothing had leaked out, though.

My TS orders for the Lilac and the Mint Tea arrived today.  I am surprised they weren't in the printed gift box like previous years and what looked like was the TS box in this teaser photo Liz posted on Facebook. Every bottle/tube is sealed well, no leakage

I LOVE both scents. The Lilac is very authentic and the Mint Tea is very fresh/appealing - a good unisex scent. I thought it might be similar to Beekman Sweet Grass scent, but they are not similar

Sooooo happy to have the body butter sprays  GREAT TS!!!

@Chi-town girl do you find the mint tea heavy on the mint? Trying to decide if I want the ts while still available or just get it in the shower gel. . It was such a good kit!

@ShopperGirl15  - the Korres Mint Tea is very light mint. I smell more of the tea. It's a light scent. I can see why customers asked for it to be brought back. 

The Beekman Sweet Grass is definitely minty.  

HSN will let you exchange for a different scent if you don't like it so I would encourage you to try it! The TS is such a good value

[ShopperGirl15]

@Chi-town girl thank you! That’s very helpful, and I love tea scents!

Good to know about HSNs exchange policy as well
