Shopping Tour - 1st Stop : Kiehl's

"Since 1851, our New York apothecary has been dedicated to serving discerning customers fine formulations for skin and hair made with uniquely efficacious, natural ingredients."
These are my favourite products that I truly do swear by - I have been using them continuously for the past 5 years, going on 6 years, and I like to think that they are the reason I still get ID'ed at the supermarket when I try to buy wine..!
Ultra Facial Moisturizer - SPF 15
It's so light - I put it on every morning straight after my shower - it's great if your face is still damp because you need less of it. It lasts for AGES! And of course, gotta love the SPF factor. I know everyone has different skin types, but this one suits me perfectly - not greasy, keeps my face feeling exactly the same all day.
Foaming Non-Detergent Washable Cleanser
This is so great to use in the shower - it gets rid of all your makeup without even really trying, and it's not soapy but still makes your face feel completely clean, and the best part is that it doesn't make your face feel tight - I can't stand cleansers that do that! And you hardly need any at all, so it also lasts for ages and ages!
Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
This is just awesome to carry around in your handbag - it makes your hands tingle and completely wakes them up when they get that horrible dry, tired feeling.
Abyssine Eye Cream
I've been using eye cream since I was 21. When my little sister found out about this when she was 25, she couldn't believe it. I still remember being in DJ's in Sydney with my Mum, and we were looking at Natio products, and a lady came up to us and recommended the eye cream - said she had been using it since it since she was 21, and without recalling how old she actually was, I remember thinking at the time that I hoped I would still look that good at her age. Your eyes, I think, are the first part about you to tell your age.And while this is a little pricey for such a wee jar, it's lovely and light.
You only have one body, and even if those few extra dollars trick me into thinking I'm doing myself a favour, then I'm all for it, because it's my body and I want to keep it looking like me for as long as possible! Along with these pricey New York potions and lotions, I have always loved this quote from Audrey Hepburn:
"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
