Quercetin & Oak Anti-aging Eye Primer by Korres REVIEW, Thanks BeautyStat



When I opened my package a few weeks ago from BeautyStat, I was ecstatic. What a wonderful gift that was bestowed upon me, an all natural cosmetic by the notorious Korres, a brand I had learned about from frequent sephora visits. I had received the Quercetin & Oak Anti-aging Eye Primer.


The Great, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:


I tried the primer for two weeks and I wore it about every night & day. For the product's trial size of .06 Fl. OZ (2mL), I believed it was a great amount. I say It should last anyone else about 2+ weeks. DO NOT keep eye products for too long to avoid infection & etc.


Because of its applicator, it is fairly easy to apply. I experienced problems with application due the following: no enough of the product was on the applicator to swipe once. I had to keep dipping to apply to the lids (upper and lower).


Once on, it felt great. I love the smooth texture. It was not watery or to thick. After the spread, I either applied my eye shadow &/or liner after  OR  rubbed it in (I couldn't leave it as is for it was lighter than my skin) for solely the anti-aging purposes. 


Results:

With Eye Shadow When applying eyeshadow, the colors just glide right on, due to Korres' Quercetin & Oak Anti-aging Eye Primer.  The primer made my shadow colors a little more vibrant, not to extreme tho.  It, also, held my loose shadows greatly in place. Sometimes my shadow would last a full days worth and sometimes the shadows got a little faint. Problems could be due to body temperature, the temperature around me, or the eyeshadow that was used on a specific day.


Solely Primer While wearing the primer, it was as if it was just regular creme or lotion, and i treated it as such. I went through out my day without re-applying, until the next time my face was washed (thats if i didn't forget at night). At first I didn't see a difference, within the two weeks it was only a small change in complexion underneath my eyes, but it worked. Pictures don't tell lies. 


Before


After 


Sorry about the lighting, it was in too diferent room and two different times. but you can see the skin complexion underneath the eyes from before is different and after underneath is of the same complexion. 
No foundation was added in any pic. 
There was no type of photo manipulation, as well. 
This is me in the photographs.
IN CONCLUSION


I would recommend this to all my readers, readers of readers, and see-ers of readers!!! LOL


I will also purchase this in the near future.


Special Thanks


I would like to thank Ron and BeautyStat for the primer and for making this possible, as well as relieving me of my dry streak.

Words of Self: Treat yourself for a better attitude

WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD AND VICE VERSA.

What to do?
  • Try giving yourself some me-time. Have a relaxing bath (or shower if you prefer) with some bath salts and maybe even candle light. 
  • Get you hair done, do it yourself or go to the salon. 
  • Get pampered, have a massage. 
  • Go shopping and buy yourself something, try not to slurge. :) 
How you may feel after?
If you know in your mind you are looking your best, you fell your best. Your attitude changes in a way that may make you more sociable or more content. You may began to walk with your head high and smile. 
&
When you feel happy and content with yourself you will look awesome. Smiles and facial movement bring about muscle stimulation and glowing and purified skin.

Get to feeling and looking better ASAP!!!

Facials are necessity!! Facial FAQ

About 6 months ago, I herd a couple of females talking on the train about how facials cleared up their skin. This made me want to get a facial myself. Not having money to spend on what i had thought was considered  luxury, I decided to look online for at home facials. I saw many methods, which was mostly to cleanse. Some methods were involving oatmeal and others using citrus fruits. I copied some recipes but never got around to giving myself one. recently I was looking on youtube and stumbled across a facial tutorial by a licensed esthetician. I liked what i saw and decided to research and learn more.


What is a facial?
"A skin treatment that may involve steam, exfoliationextraction, creams, lotions, facial masks, peels, and massage... It often contains mineralsvitamins, and fruit extracts."



Why do my skin need a facial? 
This is like saying why do my body need to stay active. A facial cleanses your pores and purify your skin. some are deep cleansing for cleaning the pores, healing dark spots, or hyper-pigmentation, or brightening for a gradual illumination of the skin tone. It shouldn't be a luxury, but a part of life.
Where should I get a facial done?
At a reputable beauty salon or spa, which consist of wise estheticians. Don't settle for a cheap way out, if that method isn't proven to work for you. If a facials is not done right it will worsen skin.
Why do I need someone who is licensed?
They will know how to analyze your skin and make the facial to your needs. They will also be able to give you products, tell you techniques, and provide equipment you most likely will not have at home. ANd most likely, mistakes will not be made. 
How many times should i have a facial?
As much as needed. Facials should be a part of your life. Some people need to do them more or less each month. It depends on the person and the reason.
Can I do my own facial?
if you are knowledgeable, maybe. If you really rather it that way, research, research, research! YOu also may want to speak to a dermatologist.
What if my skin doesn't get better?
Either the method wasn't done right or it is the other products you are using. Try using natural makeup and better skin care, without harsh chemicals and other toxins. 
Are facials affordable?
Normally they cost approximately $50. You may get some on sale. There will be many spa sales this month from March 21st- March 28th and Next month April 14th-April 20th. Try searching on Spa Week or Spa Finder.


I have yet to get a professional facial. But i will later on this month, no matter the price!!!
