AMW Reports: The Opening of Kiehl's Powerplant Mall + Giveaway! (Contest Closed!!!)


Kiehl's has been around since 1851 but let me tell you how I get to know about the brand.
I was just new in the blogging industry then and my first few product review was about lip balms that I've kissed.  Because blogging is such a wonderful tool to communicate with people around the world who has the same interest as I do, I was advised to try the Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 in which I happily obliged and purchased 2 tubes during my Hong Kong trip.

I knew about Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 first before the brand itself.  *embarrassed*

Thanks to my dearest brother who gifted me with a Kiehl's Skincare Travel Set and I'm starting to fall in love with the products.  The Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover is cream based but "supremely" gentle and my eyes doesn't blur out or sting at all!  It's a must for people with sensitive eyes!

Let's not forget the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Challenge in which I took part to try for 15 days?  *heads high*  I thought I'm one Kiehl's Brand Expert!

When I got a cute "boarding pass" type of invite from our friends from Kiehl's for their Powerplant Mall store opening, I was ready to jump in and enjoy my old time favorites!  (That's what I thought!)


Outside the store, I can immediately see how busy it was! 




Say hello to my Statue of Liberty friend who moves like a Jagger! :P

I was told that Kiehl's sources ingrededients from around the world to meet the distinct needs of its cherished customers!  

Orange Flower and Lychee from Morocco, Nashi Blossom and Pink Grapefruit from Kyoto Japan, Fig Leaf and Sage from South of France and last but not the least, Vanilla and Cedarwood from Uganda!  These are some of the inspirational aromatic blends that suits everyone's needs!


What I love about any stores?  The availability of testers!

Face products

Dermatologist Solutions
that are made to suit specific skin problems.

My favorite skin-softening body lotion and body cleansers


Aside from the availability of wonderful food, we were each given a bag to design and of course, this girl is serious with her craft!  *winks*


Kiehl's Group Business Development Manager Ms. Sheena Dy and the bloggers

 

Here are some of my must-try loot!
  • Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser - that I'm super excited to try as I'm in dire need for gentle facial cleanser for my pregnancy that doesn't have harmful ingredients that could harm me and my baby!
  • Kiehl's Magic Elixir - when the S.A. told me its ability to moisturize extremely dry scalp, I put it in my basket right away!
  • Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 - okay, this is my 5th, 6th ? (Sorry, I lost count) tube!

 

Because my dearest brother who gifted me my first Kiehl's Travel Set was here for a vacation, I've decided to give something back and bought him an Oil-Free Facial Cleanser (not on photo) and  Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Hydrator which I'm sure he'll love!


And because it's a circle of love and generosity, I am giving away Kiehl's Aromatic Blends Fig Leaf & Sage to ONE lucky AMW Reader!  Now, don't thank me but thanks to our lovely friends from Kiehl's!

  17. For almost 3 years now, I have been looking the perfect whitening skincare regimen. Most ladies have a problem with their face being whiter/lighter than the rest of their bodies, while I on the other hand, am whiter from the neck down.

    It has really been frustrating since I haven't found a whitening skincare regimen that works for me, so I would love to give the Kiehl's Ultimate White Intensive Whitening Essence and the rest of their whitening skin care line of course :)

    Thanks for the wonderful giveaway/contest. :)

    I haven’t tried any of their product especially that it’s not yet available here in Angeles City. I would love to try Kiehl’s Magic Elixir. Few years ago, I started having a problem with my scalp especially during cold season. And since I work in call center where A/C are set at low temp 24/7, my scalp tends to dry almost all the time. I had checked with a dermatologist and prescribed that I use Dermaven shampoo, which is an Australian product but can be bought locally from their clinic. I would like to try other product and see which would really provide me a longer solution for my scalp dryness. Thank you so much for introducing Kiehl’s products!

    Just like you Ms. Nikki, If I was there in the event and would be given a chance to grab an item, it would definitely be Kiehl's Magic Elixir. I've been dealing with dry scalp for quite a long time now. And I have resorted to different types & brands of shampoo but they all just gave me temporary good results, or worst totally failed me.

  40. Actually I have 2 favorite Keihl's products. First is the Keihl's Avocado eyecream which is very moisturizing in the eyes and leaves under eyes being out of being cakey or dry when applying concealers or powder on and it is a quite thick moisturizer which i love for our eyes which doesn't produce oil to be moisten. Second is the Keihl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ which totally does what it says: protect us from burning and even from aging. And the best reason why i love it is that it's not oily into the skin as i'm oily enough *laughing*. So that's all. Thanks

    I'm dying to try the midnight recovery concentrate though. My friend told me it worked miracles for her! Her skin felt soft every morning and i saw the improvement myself. Before she had so much breakouts now her skin's so clear.

    A: Eversince you have posted the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Challenge and Review, I've been dying to get my hands on it. Sadly, I still can't shell out 2,000+ on a skin care product in this moment. My hubby will freak out for sure! Hahaha!
