I tore through that box of macarons in record time, but their spirit lives on in the Korres Vanilla Guava Showergel ($19.50).
I’ll go out on a limb and assume that Korres didn’t have my favorite vanilla flavored cookies in mind when they cooked up this moisturizing gel. This newest member of the company’s luxuriously bubbly Showergel line is made from (a very specific) 90.2% natural ingredients. Korres claims the wheat proteins and aloe in the product keep skin moisturized while vitamins C, E and the mineral zinc help reduce visible signs of aging. Tabs doesn’t look a day over five…but he thinks it’s cool that this stuff is also cruelty free.
Thankfully, it’s easy to rinse and doesn’t leave behind a noticeable residue. Plus, there’s that delicious scent. Just like a yummy vanilla macaron, om, nom nom!
PRICE: $19.50 for a 13-oz. bottle
AVAILABILITY: At Sephora and korres.com

Hello Karen and Tabs hope you are both well. I love Korres shower gel. Going to a post next week about the five different Korres shower gels that James and I are currently using. I love the men’s range the best.
Hi Annabella,
I don’t think I’ve ever tried any of the men’s stuff. What do you and James recommend?
I love the Cedar and Juniper & Rum. James loves the Guava. x
mmmmm, i LOVE me some Korres! that sounds delectable
Hi Vonnie,
Me too! What’s your favorite Korres product?
i love the jasmine one! i’m using it right now 🙂 it smells incredible and it’s so soothing, perfect for winter!
Hi IKK,
I love that one too! It always reminds me of yummy jasmine tea. 🙂
That sounds yummy! Their plain guava shower gel is probably my favorite bath product and scent everrrr so I’m definately wanting to give this one a try.
Hi Liz,
That’s another great Korres scent! Have you tried their Guava body butter? It smells so yummy!
i got that for one of my other friends who lives in New Jersey … and uhm… i couldnt resist and got one for our shower too.
it smells like all sorts of awesome baked goodness! <3 it!
Hi Nina,
Hee, hee! I like your thinking. Does the hubs like it too?
Yummmmmmm. Want to try this one now!
Hi Tracy,
It smells delish! I hope you give it a sniff!
I guess the code is only for the Korres website? Too bad, because I’m about to place an order at Sephora for the set with five shower gels and five lotions. 🙁 Amongst other things, of course, otherwise I’d just order at Korres, lol.
Hi Alice,
Yup, the code’s only for korres.com.
I have yet to try Korres products but that shower gel sounds yummy! If only Korres wasn’t double the price here at Australia.. wahhhh..
Korres has a lot of nice things! If you ever get the chance try the lip butter glazes. They’re fabulous. 🙂
Hmmmm sounds tasty!!!! Might need some of this myself!
Don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to gobble it all up! It smells so yummy. 🙂
Thanks for posting this review! I’m hooked on Korres products and I’ve been meaning to pop into a Sephora store and sniff the Vanilla Guava scent…good to have an idea of what to expect 🙂
I just bought the Never Enough set (http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P275001&categoryId=C11245) so maybe once I work through that I’ll look into the Vanilla Guava showergel.
