There are some brands that have a space in my heart, and Kiehl’s is definitely one of them. I’m
not saying that I’ve loved every product I’ve tried from them (some just don’t
sit well with my skin) but the majority of their products impress me. Their staff
are always approachable and know what they are talking about, and don’t
hesitate to hand out samples if you want some. Most companies don’t seem to
understand that samples make browsers turn into repeat customers, but Kiehl’s are smarter than the average
and get their good rep from word of mouth, and their great relationship with
bloggers. I’ve compiled a list of some Kiehl’s
products that would make great gifts, some I have tried myself and others I
would like to. Hope you enjoy perusing my selection!
Midnight Recovery Eye Cream
($44 AUD for 15ml)
This is my favourite eye cream to date, it smells faintly of
lavender and hydrates without causing me milia. I love the squeezy tube and
thin applicator, I recommend this to anyone who asks me for an eye cream, from
family to twitter friends.
Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque ($48 AUD for 125ml jar)
This isn’t something I’ve personally tried, but I love the idea
of it and have heard so much about the Ultra Facial range. I love hydrating
masks all year round, and this would be the first one I’d pick up if I was to
do a Kiehl’s haul.
Superbly Smoothing Argan Hair Mask ($38 AUD for 250ml jar)
I haven’t tried any hair products from the Kiehl’s range but
this one stood out to me the most. It says it is lightweight and tames
flyaways, which is something I definitely need in my haircare routine. I am
getting into hair masks and will hopefully enjoy a less frizzy summer this
year!
Clearly Corrective White Clarity-Activating Toner ($38 for
250ml)
I’ve only tried a sample sachet of this toner, but having
used a few of the other varieties Kiehl’s
offers this one is the most tempting for me. Claiming to be hydrating while
helping get rid of skin discolouration, I really liked how this felt on my face
and want a big bottle of this as my next toner.
When a set of the new Aromatics range hit my desk, the Orange Flower & Lychee scent really
knocked me for a six. Light, floral and in an easily absorbed lotion, the
travel sized bottle now has a permanent place in my handbag. All 4 scents in
the range (especially Vanilla &
Cedarwood) are just beautiful, and it is obvious that Kiehl’s put a lot of time and thought into the creation of this collection.
Midnight Recovery Concentrate ($59 for 30ml)
I’ve been using this for quite a while now, and the tiny
sample bottle has lasted and still has quite a large amount left to go. I find
it hard to see the benefits of serums sometimes, but when I use this my skin is
happy and more plump than usual. I suffer no adverse reactions and find that
while this hydrates, it does not exacerbate oil on my skin. As you would
imagine, it goes well as a nightly treatment with the matching eye cream,
mentioned above.
Ultra Facial Cream ($34 for 50ml, $64 for 125ml)
This is something I haven’t tried before, but have seen some
good reviews and it seems to be a popular line for Kiehl’s. Even though it is summer here in Australia my skin has
been quite thirsty, and a nice facial moisturiser like this is something I
really like the sound of.
Have you tried any of the Kiehl’s products that I’ve mentioned? What do you recommend from
the brand?
*Samples of some of these products were given me by PR over
the last year, but the post is not sponsored and everything I have written is
honest. Honesty, always.
