Sephora is offering a Korres set for $39

This set contains:
- 25 x Pomegranate Wipes
- 0.68 oz Wild Rose Brightening and Line Smoothing Serum
- 0.68 oz Wild Rose 24-hour Moisturizing and Brightening Cream
- 0.34 oz 99% Natural Silicone-Free Face Primer
- 0.34 oz Wild Rose Brightening Foundation WRF3
- 0.21 oz Wild Rose Lip Butter
- 0.3 oz Provitamin B5 and Rice Bran Mascara in Black

The set is a nice way to try the line. The only thing I cannot figure out why they included foundation in the set – it’s a set color, so clearly will not be for everyone; and if you read the reviews you’ll see the foundation getting lots of hits.

Regardless, this sounds like a good buy.
