I like pretty bottles. I have my fragrance bottles arranged neatly on my dresser and I love to add to the collection. Not all perfumes come in big fancy bottles. Some come in cute little tins or convenient little roller-ball bottles, too.
Kiehl’s carries a line of highly concentrated Essence Oils. These unisex scents come in brown apothecary-type bottles, with a little roller-ball for ease of application, and they are perfect for tucking into your purse or pocket. “A collection of rich essences from the 122 unique fragrant oils formulated in the original ‘Kiehl Pharmacy…’”
Each essence is a single note making …read more

It already feels like it’s summertime in SoCal! One of the things I really love to use during the summer are tinted moisturizers . With the heat, humidity and sweaty conditions, there’s no reason to walk around with a full face of make up (moisturizer, primer (optional) and foundation etc) all the time. Tinted moisturizers are you best friends during the warm weather months as it allows you to skip a step in your routine. Look for tinted moisturizers with the added benefit of SPF like this one from Kiehls.
Kiehls Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer is a light-weight tinted moisturizer that …read more

Let it be noted that I am very, very biased – I love just about all of Kiehl’s products.
That said, I’m very much a fan of their new Amino Acid Conditioner. It’s made as a conditioning companion to Amino Acid Shampoo (obviously), and it’s created with sensitive scalps in mind.
As you have seen from recent posts, I’m all about the protein in my hair – and this is made with wheat proteins and amino acids, which helps to give it a light, creamy texture (that’s what gives it the shine) but doesn’t weigh it down.
It also is made with coconut …read more
