Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica

So after reading about the new Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica moisturizer in Lucky, I absolutely had to try it.  I have super dry skin and so when I read the claims, I knew there was a possibility I had met my new favorite skincare product.  The coolest claim Rosa Arctica makes is that 93% of users said their skin felt “denser and thicker” after use (from a four-week consumer study). 

Since recently turning 28, I’m starting to really come to terms with the fact that I will eventually see signs of aging, which I’m not very happy about, and therefore need to start using skincare products that help thicken things up a bit since my skin tends to be on the dryer, thin side.

The “Resurrection Flower,” a main ingredient in the cream, can dry out completely and survive for 31 days in inclement conditions and can be restored with just a few drops of water within a day or two to be fully restored…how come no one ever thought to put this in moisturizers before?!  A jar sells for $60, which is actually a pretty good deal considering how little cream you actually have to use- this moisturizer is thick and very dense so a little goes a long way.  LOVING this product.

Mascara Monday: Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara

So Mascara Monday, part V. I know I’ve said it for the past four weeks, but I’m looooving Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara. I was recently introduced to Kiehl’s as a line and I’m mildly obsessed…but don’t worry, my new found love for Kiehl’s hasn’t intruded on my mascara review judgment!

This mascara is enriched with mineral pigments for rich color and combines volumizing Acacia Senegal with conditioning Jojoba Oil and Aloe Vera, the unique formula gives lashes natural-looking length, volume and rich, glossy color. I also love that it’s paraban-free…always a good thing. Approved.

Happy Monday, friends!

I don’t know about you but, personally, I’m looking forward to a slower-ish Thanksgiving work week.

Btw, the photo above of Alanis and me is from 2013 at a Kiehl’s event (thank you forever and ever, Rachael Kelley!) and it makes me happy every single time I look at it 🙂 (more…)
