kiehl's

this weekend, t and i headed downtown to the flagship kiehl's store, on recommendation of his dad. sounds funny, but his dad had sent me an article about the store, and i thought it looked really neat. i've never owned anything by kiehl's, but i now officially may be a convert. the store itself is located on 3rd ave between 13 and 14th street. it has been there since 1851. as they have touted, "kiehl's is new york born and bred." the store itself was filled with every luscious lotion and cream i could have ever dreamed of. we spent a good long time lathering up and moisturizing, which was quite fun. the decor in the store itself is very cool, beautiful wood floors, vintage furniture and glitzy chandeliers, motorcycles on display  and photos haphazardly hung on the wall. there is even a mud stop coffee shop in the corner. perfect if you need to fuel up mid-beauty routine. i ended up buying the avocado eye cream, because the girl at sephora actually said.."WOW, how old are you?" when she looked at my eyes and just on principal i refused to buy anything from her. so i got the point i needed some cream. and no one at kiehl's was pushy or horrified at my dry undereye area. i have been religiously applying it since yesterday..so we will see what happens. regardless, i had such a nice experience at kiehl's, and next on my list is their classic musk lotion/body wash combo set. it smells terrific. xx
