For The Love of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
Over the last year or so, I’ve been resorting to Kieh’s Ultra Facial Cream more and more. I think as I’m getting gulp older, my skin is dehydrating a little more easily. Because of this, I’ve moved from Gels to Soft Creams, of which Ultra Facial Cream is one; in fact one of the best I’ve…

Kiehl’s MTV Staying Alive & Tinie Tempah
MTV Staying Alive Foundation is one of my absolute favourite charities. Back in my retail days at The Body Shop (also part of L’Oréal) we worked with the Get Lippy campaign, selling gorgeous Guarana lip balms. This year, Tinie Tempah (who I’ve met, sort of, before a Katie Eary show a few years back) is…

Kiehl’s & Solange Knowles #PioneersByNature
Last night was fabulous. It was one of the first launch parties I’ve been to that firstly didn’t descend into a drunken shambles and secondly felt wholesome, well organised and so on message. Oh, and thanks to the #TubeStrike, there were maybe 50 people or so at the event, which made it fabulously intimate; I…

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Deep Moisture Clarifying Cream and Dark Circle Perfector
A product range designed for the Asian market if ever I’ve seen one with the heavy use of emotive language signifying that having brighter and sadly, whiter skin, is better. But, this is an age old trend and confuses us in the West as much as many in Asia are befuddled with our need to be…

Are you concentrating? Kiehl’s TOP 3 Skin Concentrates
Are you concentrating? If you’ve not yet experienced Kiehl’s skin care, you’re seriously missing out. Their formulas are the perfect balance of scientific efficacy and naturally sourced potency. In short: their products work. Kiehl’s concentrates are powerful serums that target specific skin concerns. It’s always difficult writing these articles as I can’t always tell what…

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel ‘Heavy Lifting’ Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel ‘Heavy Lifting’ Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer is just what you need to combat the onslaught of visible ageing, particularly during harsh winter winds. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel ‘Heavy Lifting’…

Kiehl’s Creme de Corps by Eric Haze
Merry Christmas! Not that far away now and I’m getting ultra excited; I love visiting packed stores to be given abominable customer service by under-qualified and brain-dead Christmas temps. Anyway… here’s something lovely from Kiehl’s to lift our spirits. This year Kiehl’s have had the Creme de Corps limited edition collection designed by New York graffiti artist…

Kiehl’s have odd ranges; I’ll say it here and now. Instead of having ranges that are exactly the same as every other brand out there, they create products that fill an unexploited gap in the market and they do it really well. Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator is one of those products that breaks…

From getting hold of one of the world’s first mainstream BB creams by Korean skincare company and BB pioneer BRTC, to dashing through duty-free to bag myself Clinique’s travel-retail exclusive BB, I love them and feel I’m quite the Blemish/Beauty Balm connoisseur. Late to the BB game Kiehl’s have arrived very late to the BB…

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Sky Flyin’ Foaming Multi-Gel
Formulated with Vitamin E and C, caffeine, lemon and orange peel, bamboo and ginseng, the Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Sky Flyin’ Foaming Multi-Gel is really something to behold. So what does Multi-Gel mean? Well, not only is this a rich and luxurious shaving foam, it’s also a deeply cleansing facial wash. What a Multi-Gel actually does…
