Kiehl's has released some yummy scented body scrubs to match the aromas of some of their best selling body lotions. These scrubs get the job done without drying out your skin...which is a huge deal for me because my skin gets super dry in the winter.
Kiehl's Gently Exfoliating Body Scrubs ($25) are available in Lavender, Coriander and Grapefruit and Pear Tree Corner. This creamy and highly effective body scrub gently, yet effectively exfoliates to remove dead surface skin cells without over-drying.
The scrubs when paired with the matching bodywashes make a superb gift for yourself or someone else for the holidays.
Stay Pretty!!
I love clean distinctive fragrances that you can wear alone or build upon to make your own custom scent (I don't like smelling like everyone else). The other day, I had the pleasure of smelling Kiehl's latest and greatest addition to their line-up Forest Rain.
The Rundown:
Forest Rain Eau de Toilette is a spicy, yet woodsy blend notes of grass, Mugeut petals, citrus, jasmine and white flowers. Inspired by many of the classic essences once sold in the original apothecary, and like all Kiehl’s products, it is appropriate for both men and women. Sure to be an instant classic, Forest Rain Eau de Toilette is the first new Eau De Toilette from Kiehl’s since the introduction of our popular Musk Eau de Toilette in 2004.
Forest Rain is available at Kiehls.com and at fine department stores.
Smell Pretty!!
Ahhhh Kiehl's, my favorite apothecary on the face of the earth (well...so far LOL) I adore the quality of the products and the friendly price point. Their Musk Shower Gel is something that I had never tried but was always on my list.
Now that I have tried it - I will never let it go! The scent is very light, not heavy like most musk oil creations so it won't compete with your fragrance (in fact it actually enhanced mine!) It contains Glycerin, Sweet Almond Fruit Extract and Sodium PCA none of which will dry out your skin BUT they will keep your skin smooth and soft PLUS it lathers up beautifully which I love. To see more about the story of how the original musk fragrance came to be click here.
You can find this little gem at any Kiehl's store (if you are lucky enough to live close by to one!!) or at Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus nationwide.
Wash Pretty!!
Is your hair dry and "malnourished"?? Mine is...it really is and when I visited the Kiehl's Flagship store in NYC I was so excited to see that they had developed a line made with Olive Oil. Olive oil has a special place in my beauty heart because back in the day, my Mom and Nana used to give my sister and I hot oil treatments. Not just any hot oil treatments mind you, they used olive oil warmed in a cast iron pan! Our hair was never ever dry or unmanageable (and we were swimming EVERYDAY....go figure)
Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil line is fantastic if you have extra dry hair. They say...
"Formulated for dehydrated, under-nourished, and damaged hair. It contains Avocado Oil, Lemon Extract, and Olive Fruit Oil–inspired by traditional home recipes–to help restore the healthy look of the hair, leaving it full of shine and softness without weighing it down. Ideal for hair weakened by overexposure to sun, chemical-processing, or excessive heat styling."
Ummm hello?? Excessive heat styling?? Me me me meeee! So last weekend I gave the entire line a try...shampoo, conditioner and the ultra rich Deeply Repairative Hair Pak. The shampoo was thorough but not drying, the conditioner was very light but still effective in helping to detangle my mop. But the superstar was the restorative pak. My hair felt silky in the water when I rinsed it out! I left it in for 20 minutes (oh yeah I got out of the shower and got back in honey, I need to let my deep conditioners marinate!) My hair was extra soft and insanely shiny.
If your hair is sun or heat damaged I would definitely give this a whirl, and because it's Kiehls it's not insanely expensive which is a huge plus when thinking about buying hair care that is on the department store end of the price scale!
Wash & Style Pretty!!
April is Earth Month and Earth Day is next week so in an effort to encourage environmental consciousness, Kiehl’s is giving away canvas tote bags in exchange for empty Kiehl’s bottles.
"On April 22nd, the first 50 patrons to return empty Kiehl’s bottles to one of their free-standing stores for recycling will receive a complimentary Kiehl’s reusable canvas tote bag that they may use to help reduce their consumption of disposable shopping bags."
I am addicted to the reusable bags! I must buy one every time I am at the grocery store so the more the merrier I say!! I got a chance to sample the new line of restorative products when I was at the flagship store in NYC and they are mahhhhvelous. PLUS they all feature 100% Organic, fairly traded Argan Oil, and recycled plastic bottles, which really addresses Kiehl’s commitment to the environment and social responsibility

Hey girls! Okay so on my whirlwind trip to NYC we had appointments at many places one of the was the flagship Kiehl's store on 3rd Avenue that has been in the same spot since what.....1851!!! Now if you know me, you know that I have had a love affair with Kiehl's for many many many years. I first discovered it when I was working for Clarins at the now defunct Barney's New York downtown store and I was in LOVE. Products that stood out to me and are still my all time CULT FAVES are Creme with Silk Groom, Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Blue Astringent which is AMAZING in the summer when you are feeling less than fresh in humid climates.
The store itself was amazing and the decor was a mix of masculine and feminine as evidenced by the vintage motorcycles and chandeliers. We got a great tour of this urban apothecary by Barbara and a history of the brand which was amazing. A HUGE thanks to Rachael, Kiehl’s PR rep for setting up such a wonderful look inside what actually makes Kiehl's tick. They don't advertise and have built a business solely on word of mouth...and since they have been around 157 years I think that says a lot.
Now onto my new favorite thing that I discovered while I was there! Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer is basically my new thing. I don't ever wear foundation (I just don't) but sometimes I do want a teeny bit more coverage, this does the job. If you are looking for something a little heavier than a moisturizer but lighter than a foundation with a touch of color this is it. Today I am wearing it with some of my Prescriptives custom blended loose powder on top. It feels lightweight like moisturizer but covers up little pimples as well as foundation does (plus it has SPF 15!).
With natural ingredients like Apricot Kernel Extract,
Chamomile, and Royal Jelly, it is gentle on your skin and gives you just enough color. This bottle will last forever because you only need a pea sized drop of the moisturizer to cover your entire face (I found this out the hard way and had too much left over so I had to wait a bit for it to sink in/dry before applying my powder). It comes in 3 shades - light, medium and dark (I am dark) so I don't think this would work all that well on darker skin tones (I asked about this when I was at Kiehl's and we will see what they can do about making some darker shades ladies!) But for now...I will take this for real. LOVE IT!
Retails for $24.50 at Kiehl's stores, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.
Moisturize Pretty!!
