It’s the first long weekend of summer and I’m getting ready for my first beach getaway.
Here are my top resort wear and beauty picks for June:
Bikini top and bottom in rust red by H&M and cotton wrap dress by Glorious Beach Living.
Suede metallic sandals Toms x & Other Stories.
Ippolito straw and leather bag.
Inside my admittedly super cute tote there’s the Red Grape Sunscreen and After Sun lotion by Korres and the shimmering version of the famous Nuxe multi-purpose Dry Oil, that nourishes and illuminates face,
body and hair in one go.

As you we enter day by day the summer makeup continuum, the truth is that there is a narrow window of success. Somewhere in the middle between a light make up that melts away after 30 minutes and a heavy one with powders that turn into mud,
is the goal—makeup that stays luminous and natural, as it should be. During our annual -and very refreshing indeed- appointment with Korres we explored the new formulas that will help us pull through the summer.
First of all, two of their best sellers, the facial sunscreens with yogurt and grape are renewed and now you can find their tinted version that apart from sun protection they offer a nicely sunkissed effect, moisturized and dewy.
Then you have “the Sea Flowers” bronzer contained in a very 80s compact design awash with pink, terracotta and shimmering white that looks like you’ve stolen it from your mom’s drawer -and you’re five again. That bronzer you can use both as a blush and a contouring essential, a product to replace many.
For those who their divine french perfume suddenly seems unbearable under the scorching greek sun, Korres launched a series of body splashes -Mango Candy, Apple Blossom, Coconut Sand, Summer Wood, you name it. I opted for Pure Cotton which smells like fresh crisp seeds.
Last but not least, to the nail colours collection were added the “Sea Flowers” in vivid hues.
Bye-bye mocha color
Though I adore the sun kissed color on my cheeks, my skin cannot endure the greek burning sun, and the effect I get for the last three years are those charming little brown spots -what’s cooler than that. Anyway, apart from a big straw hat that I always take on the beach living my own Cote d’Azur, a sunscreen combo is more than necessary. I’ve told you before about the majesty of Korres yoghurt non-oily sunscreens and after sun lotions *heart*. In my top10 list is now added the Red Vine hair sun protection and a Walnut & Coconut sunscreen spray with transparent formula, ideal for water sports, like laying on the beach.
You have to love Korres.
