Believe it or not, before you know it, the air will be drying out, the chill will become permanent, and winter will be here.
That means that our skin will be dryer than ever, and a really hydrating body balm becomes more than a luxury – it’s an essential.
Kiehl’s has just announced their new Imperial Body Balm, and I am excited.
It’s made with something I’ve honestly never heard of before – Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil – but it’s exclusive to Kiehl’s and known to have super skin regenerative capabilities.
Rumor has it the Imperial Body Balm was inspired by Russian honey baths, …read more

Ladies, when getting up close and personal with your guy, there’s one thing far more important than good hair, sexy lingerie, or even pilated-buns – and that is smooth skin.
No guy wants to caress a rough, dry thigh – it’s an instant turn-off. And if you have a spur of the moment date coming up, you really don’t have time to go to your favorite spa and get a hydrating body wrap – Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Cleansing Oil is a great stop on your beauty regime.
It works itself into a milky treatment that cleanses and actually retexturizes …read more

Kiehl’s recently emailed with exciting news: They were about to be the first prestige company to offer a mineral mascara!
I think just about every week, I hear from readers who are growing concerned with the ingredients in what they are putting on their face. (Not that I blame them!!!) Kiehl’s new Marvelous Mineral Mascara is super gentle—it’s Paraben-free and Fragrance-free, but also just happens to leave lashes looking shiny and sexy!
It’s made with Acacia Senegal, which is super-glossifying, and also has Jojoba Oil and Aloe Vera – all stuff I can pronounce!

Valentine’s Day is only two weeks away, and Kiehl’s Since 1851 just introduced a number of alternatives to the traditional flowers/chocolates scenario.
Why not a box of nourishing lip glosses, or sweetly flavored lip balm?
Lip Gloss/Lip Balm Sets
For soothing color, choose between a Bright & Warm Set or a Neutral & Cool Set of Lip Glosses, each featuring one brand-new shade. For nourishing moisture without the color, try Scented Lip Balm #1 Trio of the three newest Lip Balm #1 scents: Mango, Coconut, and Vanilla. Each set is packaged in a special Kiehl’s heart box, just for …read more

Yeah baby.  My two favorite subjects, neatly rolled up into one.  Brad Pitt and Beauty. 
Kiehl’s has announced today that they are partnering with the one and only Brad Pitt, and not to ensure super level sales (but they will no doubt have those), but to raise money for a common cause.  100% of the sales from Kiehl’s Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser will benefit JPF Eco Systems, a foundation created by both Kiehl’s and Brad Pitt to benefit global environmental initiatives that “minimize impact on the environment through thoughtful design.”  If you are a crazy mad Pitt …read more

Happy May Day!  We have two big things going on this month – first, and most important to your health – it is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.  Second, and also relatively important to your health, is Mother’s Day.  Yeah!  I will get into a lot more about Skin Cancer Awareness later on, but I have Mothers Day on my mind at the moment.  Sadly, I usually ask for tech stuff for Mother’s Day (and will likely do the same this year, along with a “day off”  – yeah right), but I really have this on the brain, hardcore:
This is …read more

I haven’t talked about it much, as I really (really!) don’t like to rant too much around here, but Kiehl’s hasn’t been on my favorite list for a long time due only to a bad customer service/web site user problem I had 2 Christmases ago.  I just sort of wrote them off after that, despite my bestest girlfriend being a huge fan and constantly talking them up. 
So when in NYC with Glam last week, our first stop of the day was at the Kiehl’s flagship store in the East Village.  Wow, what an experience that was.  First of …read more

I received an email today inquiring about Neutrogena’s Light Sesame Body Lotion, and I hadn’t thought about that product in such a long time. Neutrogena always does lotion right – and this one is no exception, but it has been difficult to impossible to find in local stores of late. The reader with the question was looking for a comparable item, and to my knowledge, there really isn’t one. Kiehls makes one that is similarly textured, but the price is so much higher. There are other lotions with sesame oil, but none with the light consistancy …read more
