I admit it, I have Botox. NOT!
But now that I've got your attention, let me say that I have nothing against Botox or any other cosmetic procedure if it makes you a happier person while boosting your confidence level.
So before I age *cringes* (hopefully in a handsome manner),I have decided to give myself extra attention to maintain my eternal youth.
My recent trip to Kiehl's Store Opening in KK was indeed a blessing in disguise after recieving some freebies! *yayyyer*
I still can't believe that I got all these stuff for free!
( 5 items were in the goodie bag and the rest were samples. )
One of the great things that I love about Kiehl's is their approach to skincare & give out free samples to customers for them to try out at home before deciding to purchase any in the future!
So before I go ahead with my Kiehl product review let me upload a before & after photo of myself for reference.I have a combination skin type & this is me before taking a shower/washing my face.
(My main concerns were my sometimes oily skin and terrible eyebags!) AFTER. Well not really much of a difference expect that my face was much fairer/brighter.
The next item that I applied was this eye cream to address my dark under-eye circles. I absolutely fell in love with the texture which was rich and dense while applying. It also didn't feel oily or greasy!
The greatest part was the continuous delivery of 10.5% of Pure Vitamin C which you can feel when applying due to the warm heat when it reacts with your skin.
You may feel a slight tingling sensation after a few minutes which means this product really works!
A Kiehl’s classic and #1 bestseller, soothing lips since
1969! Formulated with soothing emollients Squalane, Lanolin and Sweet Almond Oil as
well as Vitamins A and E.
But my advise is to do not attempt to lick/taste the balm as it can leave a tangy/slightly bitter after taste!
*trust me I learned the hard way thinking it was flavoured*
I personally don't use lip balm daily as I am an 'au naturel' kinda guy so I kinda find this lip balm a little too greasy for my liking. I prefer the stick ones which are more solid as to a liquid version of Vaselline all over your lips!
Perhaps if my lips were chapped then this product would be great!

So here are the products which I used for the very first time today.

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense with SPA 50+++ UVA |
I honestly don't use sunscreen on a daily basis because it tends to oil up my skin & clogs my pores so that's why I was a little apprehensive to use this at first.
I used this in place of my regular mositurizer and I have to say that I was quite pleased with this as the formula really grabs into your skin without feeling heavy!
It does somehow feel greasy after a few hours but maybe it's just me who is not used to using sunscreen or perhaps because I applied this late afternoon?
The great part about this is that it is oil-free and contains SPF 50+++ which helps protect against premature skin aging and is safe for sensitive skin.
This product retails at RM140 in stores & I am lucky to get it for FREE!I'll give my final rating after using it for a week.
The only downside of this is that it leaves a sheer 'fair' veil over my tan skin so it may not be suitable for darker individuals.

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve |
The final item that I tested was this Hand Salve/Cream which provides all-day care for severely dry, active hands.
Being an avid user of Nivea & Vaselline, I discovered that this stuff is really good. I mean absolutely fantastic! Their formulation is unlike any other products I tried in the market so I'd have to give a 2 thumbs up for this!
It absorbs real quickly as to opposed to waiting for it to settle which can sometime leave ogreasy marks/handprints/thumbprints over glass & plastic - which I find really annoying.

It's almost like the eye cream texture which is dense and rich at the same time. Even after washing the dishes I felt my own skin feeling soft and supple! A knockout must-have!
Hope you enjoyed this review!
Till next time darlings,
