Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector

This summer, I have been ditching heavier makeup and doing my best to go as bare as possible. I mean… we are talking bare. The past couple of weeks, I’ve been turning in my tinted moisturizers and BB creams in favor of Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector.

The reason this works is because of Kiehl’s gentle but effective ingredients that improves appearance of skin both immediately and down the road. Not only does Micro-Blur Skin Perfector refine skin and diminish appearance of pores upon application. It also can correct skin texture over time.

The light-weight, gel-like formula contains LHA, lentil and bark extracts that can change skin in as little as four weeks. While I haven’t been using it quite that long, I do feel like my skin is softer and smoother. I apply as the last step in my skin care routine whether I am wearing makeup or not.

No matter what your preference – as a base for something tinted or to wear alone – the Micro-Blur Skin Perfector is gentle on skin. The formula is paraben-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic and appropriate for all skin types. Think of this as a way to embrace the freckles. Just apply and add a sweep of bronzer and some mascara. For extra points, I love the bare look paired with a striking orange-red lip.

Kiehl’s Oil Eliminator Line and ‘Put Some Space On Your Face’ Social Media Contest

Probably one of the most unique contests I’ve ever heard of launched today on Kiehls.com. And it is happening in conjunction with the launch of Kiehl’s Oil Eliminator Line for men – something I am seriously excited about (and could be a perfect Father’s Day gift!).

First, a little about the new products: the products are specifically designed for those with oily skin. The products leave skin matte and can minimize the appearance of pores. Using the ingredient Aerolite (based on aerogel), which was developed for use in space exploration, a gel-like formula is created with a weightless feel on skin. Because of its unique properties (it can absorb four times its own weight in oil) it leaves skin oil free for a full 24 hours. The products include:

All three have a slight minty and masculine scent. I love the rich later the face wash provides. The toner is great to refresh throughout the day. And the moisturizer hydrates with a feather-light texture. My skin feels soft but not tight. These three are men’s products that I will be very reluctant to share!

So now that you have the whole regimen on your wish list… either for yourself or the man in your life, check out the ‘Put Some Space on Your Face’ contest. Starting today through 6/30, you can win the chance to send an image of your face into space! Just take a picture of yourself mid-air, hashtag it #SpaceFace and #Contest and post on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Easy! If you are randomly selected to win, your face will be featured on a figurine attached to a shuttle and sent into the stratosphere. Once the figurines all land, Kiehl’s will send them out to all the winners (in August) so they can proudly display their space-traveled action figures.

Kiehl’s Limited Edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

My face has been acting up lately. Not sure if it is the bonkers Oklahoma weather, stress or the chaos of skin care that I am constantly reviewing. Either way, I was up for a sort of “reset”. Even though it is designed for oily to combination skin, I am loving the Kiehl’s Limited Edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque is made with fairly-traded Amazonian White Clay from the Marajo Island. This “magic earth” is said to detoxify skin. Unlike other clay masks, I never feel like my skin is tight or dry. I apply a thin layer and leave on for 10 minutes. After, my skin is cleared and super softened. Because pores are unclogged, my skin has a renewed radiance.

So what makes this clay so special? Sourced on Marajo Island, the largest island surrounded by freshest water in the world, this clay is nourished by leaves, fruits and seeds from the rainforest. It is known as “magic earth” because the native inhabitants of the land have used this clay to protect skin against insect bites and even snake poison.

And now in honor of Earth Day, Kiehl’s has launched a limited edition art edition of the masque. The Limited Edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque series features Earth-inspired designs by socially conscious influencers, depicting their vision of social responsibility including Ashley Judd and Anthony Mackie. 100% of net profits up to $50,000 from the fourth Earth Day campaign will benefit Recycle Across America. RAA is a not-for-profit that works to educate and stimulate the environmental economy. These funds in particular will be used to create 65,000 standardized recycling labels to offer to select K-12 schools in the United States.

Get The Look: Jessica Biel’s Oscars Makeup

The last thing I want to do after these awards shows is inundate you with loads of “Get The Look” posts. But when I keep going to back to one look over and over again with the desire to inspire my own routine with the artist tips, I know it is too good not to share. So, now that the post-Oscar haze has passed, here is Jessica Biel’s beautiful look by Kayleen McAdams, ck one color global makeup artist.

Kayleen was inspired by a fresh and feminine look thanks to the “beautiful pastels in her dress, so I played with those tones.” She prepped her skin with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration and Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, to give her makeup a good base to stick to.

Then, she used a damp Beauty Blender to apply ck one 3-in-1 face makeup with SPF 8 in fair 200, followed by ck one 3-in-1 concealer in light 1 underneath the eyes, around the nose, and along the edges of her mouth to even out her skin. To highlight, she used Charlotte Tilbury Sculpt and Highlight Powder on the tops of Jessica’s cheekbones, down her nose, and on her cupid’s bow. Skin was finished with ck one cream + powder blush duo in breath 100 right on the apples of her cheeks and set with the powder side of the product to give the look staying power throughout the night.

For Jessica’s eyes, Kayleen started by using a fluffy brush to apply ck one cream + powder bronzer duo in deeply bronzed 400 all over the lid. Then, she used ck one powder eyeshadow in expose and evolved on the inner corners of the eye and along the lash line at the outer corners. Eyes were completed with two coats of ck one volumizing mascara on the top lashes to pump up the lashes. The same mascara was applied to the bottom lashes with an eyelash comb to slightly darken them.

On the lips, she used Tarte Lip Surgence in Lucky to cover her whole lip with a matte pink and in the center of her lips to give dimension and add moisture to her look. Lastly, Kayleen gave Jessica’s lips a good coating of Kiehl’s Facial Fuel No-Shine Lip Balm to soak in while I did her eyes.

Celebrate Hydration Day With Kiehl’s

Anyone else parched? I can envision a bunch of you raising your hands. All across the country, we have all suffered the effects of harsh winds, dry and artificial heat and lack of moisture in the air. Especially you poor souls in the Northeast – you’ve been through a doozy. This all leads to dull, aging skin. Well, Kiehl’s has just what the doctor ordered.

To the rescue! Kiehl’s teamed up with FIJI to celebrate today as Hydration Day. No better way to introduce Kiehl’s new Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration. Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration was tested under the harshest of conditions. It was proven to provide 24-hour hydration. Thinking it might be greasy and heavy? Nope! Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration is the most lightweight cream to date by Kiehl’s and is great for all skin types.

As a partner, FIJI reminds us to continue to drink water throughout the day to add hydration to skin from the inside out. FIJI, one of my personal favorites, has naturally occurring electrolytes. And I know this sounds silly because we are talking about water, but I think it tastes particularly delicious.

Today, swing by Kiehl’s retail stores for complimentary hydrating facials and FIJI water. No purchase necessary. And celebrate with us by tweeting the hashtag #HydrationDay. Happy Hydration Day!
