KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL OIL-FREE FORMULAS

The random heat waves in LA are annoying me. I walk outside for 2 minutes and immediately I get super hot and flustered, and on top of that, there's road construction everywhere so I'm baking under the Tuscan LA sun moving slower than an inch-worm. With that being said, I do not like shiny skin -- and when I say shiny, I mean the kind where it looks like you dipped your face in Crisco cooking oil (not like someone would ever do that?). So, to keep shine at bay, I opt for oil-free formulas that keep a good moisture balance in your skin.

I recently just picked up the new Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Set at Bloomingdales and since using it, I don't worry about the 3pm glow (when you randomly look in the mirror and go, "whoa, why am I so shiny?"). The good thing about this set is that you get 3 pieces for the price of 1! SWOON. You get a full size bottle of the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion and a travel size version of the oil-free cleanser and toner. Naturally, the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion is $24.50 alone, so you're getting a good deal here.

Did I mention that I'm a huge Kiehl's fan and I think that they're formulas are magical not just because they work, but because I like their packaging. Can't get anymore chic and classic than that! Expect more Kiehl's related posts to come.

p.s. I've been under a rock and seemed to have just emerged, mentally and physically (I went on a jungly backpacking safari during the 4th of July weekend - well, not really. I just went camping in Big Bear and heard coyotes. I think that had a negative effect on me... but I'm here now).
