The Gift of Kiehl’s Event

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Black Friday sale ads are everywhere and the tension is getting higher by the moment. Anyone who likes Kiehl’s, go to their website. Sign up for their newsletter and you’ll receive your $20 coupon via email and you can go to the store to get one as well. If you’re lucky like me, you’ll get it through the mail with four of the coupons. Here is the link to the Kiehl’s website: http://www.kiehls.com/ 

I use all Kiehl’s skincare products for both my face and body (except for the My Beauty Diary masks) and I cannot say enough about how much my skin has changed this year. Compared to other higher priced brands, Kiehl’s is still a premium brand that delivers at what I believe is an affordable cost. Now don’t expect a lotion to be $2 there. Honestly, I don’t even know what kind of results you’ll get for that price. I have problematic skin, dry skin, and eczema. So the mere drugstore brand does not work; I’ve tried it all. The Kiehl’s Creme de Crops body moisturizer has worked wonders for my fish-like skin. It takes about five minutes to absorb after a shower, but I make sure to apply it after a shower or a bath religiously to lock in the moisture. With Creme de Corps, I’m always left with smooth, healthy, plump and hydrated skin and that’s a lot to ask from my skin!

I just got the 1 liter bottle today and that lasts most people one year while it lasts me about 8 months. It runs for about $75 and the coupon takes it down to $55. I’m planning to get about two more so I’ll have a two-year supply! Also, the 1 litter bottle is only available for the holidays but is available year-round online. They have smaller sizes if you’re not ready to put down the big bucks but I assure you that it’s worth it. Kiehl’s has a very generous return policy. If you don’t like it for any reason, just return it for a full refund. No catches or time period restrictions. 

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone and I hope you catch the great deals that have been sprouting up this season. 

My First Kiehl’s Facial and Life, Lately

So I wanted to separate this from the last post because it just felt like that post was so full of negativity that you can’t write anything else but negative things in it.

I love Kiehl’s and I am currently in despair because I seem to have forgotten to stock up on my Creme de Corps body lotion. i usually get the 1 liter bottle with the pump but when I went to the local Kiehl’s store at Lenox to get another bottle, they said that they weren’t carrying that size until later on that year. WHAT!?! Ever since I discovered the miraculous benefits of Creme de Corps, the only product on the market that makes my skin look remotely human and normal-looking, they decide to hide the size. The 1 liter goes for about $72 and it lasts me for 6 months. They have various sizes available but the next thing they have is the 1/2 liter, which will last me exactly 3 months and be about $48. If I get desperate enough, I might just go get the 1/2 liter although I could easily order the 1 liter from the website too. Sigh, decisions decisions.

I went to see Stephanie, the store manager of Kiehl’s, for my facial the other day and she recommended I try a few other products. I know the Midnight Recovery Serum is the next best thing in this world to a Klondike bar because whatever you skin concern is, it will correct it. My skin drinks it up and I always end up looking so much healthier. It is loaded with essential oils and despite it having oils, they are not the kind that will break you out. I recently got my hair cut and since I have bangs, I had a few whiteheads and acne begin to form on my forehead despite me being typically dry. I used the Midnight Recovery and the all cleared up. From the reviews on the Kiehl’s website, everyone is raving about it because it’s like solution to everything from acne to texture, to dryness and wrinkles. Even insomnia because the lavender essential oil in it will put you to sleep as well when you use it at night according to the directions. I walked out with better skin and a whole lot of freebies.

I am also glad that I finally got my haircut. I was getting so depressed from looking at the same type of hairstyle every single day. Now, I can do full bangs, side bangs, put my hair up etc. I really like the whole sixties look to it. Here’s a photo of my new haircut:

I think life has been a lot better to me but there are still occasional surprises that I am not too fond of actually.I just wish everything would even out so that my life would be a lot more stable.

I’ve been talking about painting the apt for months now, since February, and I haven’t had the time to get around to it. I have been piecing color and design schemes together in my head and once I get around to it, I will definitely show it.

I got all A’s on my final and I was anticipating all A’s for this summer term but I just found out that I got one A+ and a B+. Argh, I was 1.45 points away from that A. Hmm … well I’m just going to have to try harder next time. I’m already signed up for four classes for Fall 2012 and I’m going to have to work my ass off to get my grades but then again, who doesn’t lol? Class starts again in a month … stress. I want to get my GPA up as fast as I can so I can get HOPE back but Pell has been generous to me and I’m thankful for that.

I’ve been eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S III way before anyone has been eyeing it and I think it’s a fabulous phone. After about an hour playing with it, it’s definitely the phone with all the bells and whistles if you ask me. Aurora has just gotten the phone and I was taken back today when she told me she hadn’t figured it out completely yet. I’m like, I’ll figure any phone out within an hour. The trick is to have a curious nature about what makes that item different or special from the others, not because if its name/brand. But hey, no one can have it all. Most people just get things because they look cool or because of personal preferences. I think what truly is to brag about is whenever you make any kind of purchase after doing tons of research and I don’t mean asking a friend what they think is research. Half of the time, people get all personal and have no idea what the hell they are talking about. I’m waiting for the commotion for the Galaxy phone to calm down before I get it and I’ll be getting it at an awesome deal. I cannot wait. But I probably can just to be on the safe side :).

Oh well time to have milk and cookies. I haven’t been sleeping well lately but I think it has been getting better.

I also keep forgetting to post my interior design projects but I will. After the apt’s paint job, I’m already thinking about wainscoting, and remodeling my kitchen. I know it’s just a kitchen but who says you can’t live beautifully, fashionably, and comfortably at the same time?
