HUGE NEWS from Kiehl's and a exciting COMPETITION!!

Call me vain but the first time I heard about Kiehl's was years ago when I was completely obsessed with Sex and The City and I saw a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker walking along the streets of New York with a Kiehl's bag in tote and I knew I had to find out exactly what this brand was and how I could get my hands on it. (I have actually tried finding this pic with no luck). Fast forward a few years and the brand which had such an effect on me now it seems is just too expensive for the average girl to regularily purchase.... until NOW!

Last week a group of Sydney beauty bloggers were invited to the Kiehl's flagship store in Paddington to be let in on the great news. Unfortunately living in the amazing country that we do means that we suffer when it comes to buying cosmetics, what is really reasonably priced in America is almost double over here. This unfortunate fact means many of us savvy girls do most of our buying OS when shipping is permitted, now I don't know about you but the thoought that I have to do that all the time really irks me. Just because it is sold in another country does not mean the price should double grrrrrrr... 

Anyway the people at Kiehl's were definitely listening as they are really SIGNIGICANTLY dropping their prices and you know what the best part is, it's for GOOD!

At the event we were treated exceptionally well and were offered a skin care analysis by their experts and were recommended 2 products which we were able to take home and to trial. 

The 2 items I was given was the iconic Creme de Corps, easily the product they are most famous for which was originally $89 now down to $68!! Such a fantastic drop in prices and since using this product it is well worth it and I will be reviewing it soon. 

The second product was their Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque. My poor congested skin sometimes needs a extra boost and the clay works to draw out impurities I will blog more about this soon. 

 Here are just a couple of pics from the event...

So if you have been wanting to try Kiehl's or you have a product that is just about to run out now is the perfect time to get in and try these amazing products. Honestly this brand has been around since 1851, they really know their shiz, their approach is no nonsense beauty with products that really work. I know I am excited to be getting involved with such a cult brand.

So............ now is when we get into the FUN! The lovely guys at Kiehl's are running a COMPETITION for us Bloggers and I really need your help (trust me if I win, you guys win too!) All I need you my lovely readers to do is...

My First Competition ENDS TONIGHT!!!!

Hey guys,
This is just a REMINDER that my...

First Competition!!

ENDS TONIGHT!!!

Before we get to that I want to tell you about the wonderful product I have currently been trialing which you will be able to win.

The brand is called Chic Australia and was the work behind Lois Yaghoubour who has her own salon as well as being a makeup artist.

When you talk about this product it's not so much what it does but what it doesn't do. Below is one of the 2 colours I have called Waratahstar which is a bronze colour with a copper shade with subtle shimmer.

But first, the initially selling point for me was that it is baked on a terracotta tile which means that unlike other bronzers or blush say, when you drop it, it won't break! Massive bonus! How many bloody bronzers I have broken and wasted money on because I am too clumsy for words! It also means it really lasts as well.

Next is the beautiful arrange of colours, all subtly different from each other. When you look at the compact you can see a faint shimmer and almost slightly different colours which reflect from the light.

I chose 2 different shades. One is more of a bronzer and the other has a peachy tinge.

This product is designed to have 7 different uses, each as amazing as each other, which I will detail now:

1. Bronzer
2. Blush
3. Contouring
4. Eye shadow
5. Lip Colour
6. Eye liner
7. Highlighter

What I use it most for is as a contouring powder to really emphasize my cheekbones. It was explained to me that when you are applying the makeup either to contour or as blush/ bronzer you really need to work the product into your skin warming the product which will make it last all day.

To use it as a eyeliner you wet a brush before working into the compact and applying it to the eyes to give yourself bolder colour.

As a highlighter I like to use it on the top of my cheekbones and also on my eyebrow bone. 

For me I find this product just so incredibly handy, I can pop it in my handbag and I can do touch ups of so many parts of my makeup through out the day.

The RRP for the compact is $49.95 and considering all the uses its a bargain. 

You can buy online at www.chicaustralia.com.au or in selected salons.

So I am lucky enough to be able to give one of these lovely compacts away.
