Kiehl's

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, which are known to be a super-rich body moisturizer, and it also has Cocoa and Shea butters, and Honey and Fruit Glycolic Acids. With all that going on, it’s super fragrant, on top of making you silky smooth!

Will be available in stores in September!

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 body skin, and is naturally fragranced with oils of Sweet Orange, Patchouli, Eucalyptus, and Cedarwood.

You probably have heard about Argan Oil before. The oils of Morocco are always a hot topic when me and my beauty writer friends get together. It has been used for generations by Moroccan women to help restore elasticity, smoothness, and moisture levels to undernourished skin.

It’s also naturally rich in antioxidants, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, including Tocopherols (Vitamin E), and Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, which are known for having restorative and protective properties on the skin. It has also been shown to help improve skin smoothness and suppleness.

So, give it a try – and tell me how date night ends up turning out!

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!

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 fan like me, you will know that two of Brad’s greatest passions are design and eco consciousness – so good on both of them. 

If you don’t keep up with the beauty news, you might never know of Brad’’s involvement.  He won’t be featured in the advertising and no sexy Brad images on the bottle (*pout*) – but, the writing on the bottle is his.  Good enough.  Watch for the cleanser to be out sometime in October.

As you might remember, I am a fairly new fan of Kiehl’s, but am becoming more devoted the more of their products I try.  I am still crazy in love with the Olive Oil Restorative Hair Treatment.  Crazy.

This is Kiehl’s Gardenia collection – a limited time only collection.  Why *oh why* did I not get this when I was at Kiehl’s last month?  Probably because it wasn’t there yet.  Gardenia is, bar none, my very favorite fragrance.  My gardenia bush outside is covered in buds, and I salivate every time I look at it.  I can hardly wait for the flowers to open – the smell is simply to-die-for.  Ok ok, back to the products.

There are three new products in Kiehl’s line, Gardenia Hand & Body Lotion ($19.50), Gardenia Liquid Body Cleanser ($15.50) and Gardenia candle (I am *so* getting this – $28).  I really don’t have to say more about this – it is Kiehl’s, and a great product (can you say, 1851??), with an amazing scent.  What else do you need?   Ah, gift wrap.  If you are lucky enough to be near a Kiehl’s store, they will help you with that too.  I have seen the operation, it is lovely, organized and they will take GOOD care of you back there in the gift department.  Let me know if you get this – I am dying to know how great it smells.  Meanwhile, I’m ordering a candle (or 5) – don’t forget this is limited edition and will likely sell out before long.   I can buy myself Mother’s Day gifts, right?

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 all, the history.  We were treated to a video about the history of Kiehl’s – that store has been in the same spot since 1851, its beginnings were as an apothecary, and that has led to what Kiehl’s is now – a wonderful source of effective hair, skin and body products.  1851 – that, my friends, is a mighty long time.  You don’t last that long without a wonderful product and a commitment to serving your customers.  That, to me, is reason enough to give Kiehl’s a try. 

We watched the video, then were given a tour of the (huge!) store and the opportunity to ask any questions on our mind.  So I left Kiehl’s with a few goodies, and a whole pile of samples.  I haven’t yet gotten into some of the things I bought, but here they all are:

Abyssine Cream SPF 23 – An anti-aging cream containing alga and antioxidants and a broad spectrum UVA/UVB inhibitor.  Yeah. This is a rich feeling, non greasy cream that leaves your face immediately feeling soft – I love this.

Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 – I adore this product too (so does Lianne).  This is a great solution to a quick outing, or if you want to just smooth things out a little bit but don’t need to put your full face on.  SPF 15 too – sooooo important!  This just takes the teeniest amount – this 2.5 oz bottle is going to last me a really, really long time.

Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak – I have not gotten into this one yet, but will for sure this week.  This came highly recommended by Teri, so I thought I had best listen.   This is what the jar says:  Formulated for dehydrated, under-nourished, and damaged hair, our repairative masque provides intense conditioning helping to repair severely weakened hair fibers by restoring its moisture content.  Natural Recipe with Avocado Oil and Lemon Extract.  What I can tell you is that it feels great rubbed onto my arm, and Im going to get masqueing tonight or tomorrow morning with my next shower.

Over-Night Biological Peel – I have used a lot of peels.  A lot.  Most of them are somewhat helpful, but this one seems a little different – you put this one on and leave it on all night, for starters.  Ill get on this one as soon as I am done with my microdermabrasion 6 week routine.  I have high hopes for this product!!

Last but not least is the Coriander Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion – which I was ordered by my bestest friend (see above) to bring home for her.  I haven’t opened it yet, as it is hers – but since I bought it, I might (heh).  I suspect it smells divine, and I know, from mucho testing of lotions in the Kiehl’s store that day, that it is a fantastic moisturizing product.  Suz, you better hurry on down here and get it, or I might just use the whole thing.

Stay tuned for a more indepth review of a few of these items – I’m looking very forward to working them into my routine!  And here are a few more photos I took in the store – it was really a beautiful, beautiful place.  Thanks to all the folks at Kiehl’s for inviting us in and giving us the deluxe tour!
