Korres Vanilla Cinnamon Body Milk for Soft Skin
Korres Vanilla Cinnamon Body Milk ($15.00 for 8.45 fl. oz.) is a thin, highly liquid moisturizer for the body. It smells exactly as I would imagine vanilla and cinnamon to smell together. It has the softer, subtler sweetness of creamy vanilla melded with the spiciness and woodiness of cinnamon. Korres describes the scent as “a creamy touch with insistent woody tones.”
The body milk has the consistency of heavy, heavy milk cream, so some might even call it “runny.” I was actually surprised at how thin and lightweight the body milk was, because it quite easily poured out of the container (I have a sample size–just under 2 fl. oz–as the full size versions come with a pump–thankfully!). Despite being incredibly thin, it actually moisturises very well. It kept my legs and arms scale-free all day, and I didn’t feel the need to reapply throughout the day. It absorbs quickly (less than five minutes) and doesn’t leave any greasiness or stickiness behind.
I’m really pleased that the full-size packaging has a pump, because it’s extremely helpful with this product in particular, as the consistency is so thin, it is easy to pour/squeeze out more than you need. The pump gives you much more control over just how much you need, and I have always had a preference for pump-mechanisms for a lot of products. I feel like you can “measure” how much you need by how many pumps you need, so you can be consistent day-to-day. It is also very hygenic!
The price just right, too. It’s not necessarily the cheapest way to moisturize your skin, but it doesn’t break the bank either. For me, it is in that perfect position of being affordable but still feeling like I’m indulging–just a bit.

Recommendation: If you like spicy/woody scents, Vanilla Cinnamon is fantastic. Smells very natural, not synthetic/perfume-y. The Body Milk is hydrating even on dry skin, and it never feels heavy or greasy.

I love body lotions and I can’t get enough of them and being that this one smells like cinnamon and vanilla makes it a dream! I would have to check it out in Sephora the next time I go. I love smelling like dessert!
Definitely check it out, Amy! I think you’ll like it!
I have been wearing Korres Vanilla CInammon mist instead of water for years and I love the smell, of course I have the shower gel and the moisturizing lotion as well. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find that mist anywhere on the web anymore 🙁 I only have 1 & 1/2 bottles left 🙁
Oh no, that is too bad 🙁 I have no idea if they’re still in existence or not… but maybe you could email customer service?

Haha! I know… nearly good enough to eat 😛
