I'm finding that with pregnancy these issues are almost twice fold. I was recently invited to an event in the Kiehl's store in Wicklow Street in Dublin, for the launch of their Christmas collection. Kiehl's isn't a brand that I am very familiar with and I have to be honest but I've always been interested to find out more about it.
This year they released their Christmas collection in association with NYC artist Haze. And I'm sure you'll agree its a very festive collaboration. Oh and for each of these Christmas items sold money will be donated to Temple Street Children's Hospital :). Kielhs have raised over $800,000 for children's causes from their past Christmas collections too which is fantastic!!!!
While we were there we got to have potter around the shop and got to sample some of the merchandise too. They also had fab red and green cocktails to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, but alas with baby on board I was sampling the bottled water :) I was delighted to see that they will make you up Christmas hampers based on your budget, you get to choose the packaging, the filling everything. Here are a few idea's that the staff there selected:
Now onto my rave!!!!! So when we were leaving we were handed some goodies to take home and try out for ourselves and as i have said already I literally have only used one Kiehl's product before so I was super excited to try out some more. In my bag I had a Hand Salve, a Body lotion, a deep wrinkle treatment and a sample of their ever so famous Mid Night oil.
I suffer with terrible dry sore finger under my wedding and engagement ring and speaking to others they seem to have similar issues. Only thing that helped in the past was to remove the rings and apply what ever concoction of creams I had at hand. And non ever really cured it, until now!!! Kiehl's ultimate strength hand salve is a miracle worker, so much so I've been handing out little pots of it to everyone lol, I'll be back to Kiehl's asap to replenish my stash. My husband suffers with terrible dry skin on his hands in winter and has also been using this cream and his hands are sooo soft and whats great about it is the packaging isn't girly same goes for the scent, its kind of a medicated smell. So its really guy friendly :)
It contains a blend of botanical oils, avocado, eucalyptus (which you can really smell) and sesame seeds as well as natural wax derived from olive oil. It does say it is specially formulated for severe dry hands but lets face it who hasn't got dry hands in this weather!!!
I love this product so much so I deffo be purchasing for myself and family and friends over Xmas.
I also have to mention the body lotion, I'm desperate when it comes to applying body lotion i just don't do it! being pregnant though I am conscious of getting stretch marks so I am being extra good at the moment, my skin in soooo dry, so I am applying the Kiehl's body lotion after each shower and ladies, this stuff is amazing!!! its not scented which is kind of a bummer for me as I love scented body lotions but its sacrifice I am willing to take seeing as the results are super!!!! My elbows have never looked sooooo good. its rally light and absorbs into the skin really quickly and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. Another product I will deffo be repurchasing!!
My hubby is super awkward to buy for as he has everything but he's also loving these products so i think a little man hamper from Kiehl's this year is what I'm going to be getting him. He doesn't really read the blog so fingers crossed he wont see this.
Kielh's isn't really a birds on budget brand but there is really something in this shop for all price ranges even if its a lip balm you will be 100% satisfied with your purchase.
I will suss out the prices on both these items for you and let you know.
Lots of Love
