Brand Love - Kiehls.

When considering favourite brands Kiehl's wasn't one that sprang instantly to mind but looking around the apartment the other day I realized that there's probably more Kiehl's products hanging around than anything else. 

I managed to gather up the above in next to no time and that was without grabbing any of Mr C&C'S numerous Facial Fuel products (There's enough of those for their own post!).

Why do I like Kiehl's so much? Well...

. They have an impressive range of products that covers hair and body care as well as face care - there's even deodorant.

. The prices range from very reasonable to the higher end. 

. Their products are suitable for both men and women. There's also a few items for babies and even Cuddly Coat Grooming Shampoo for dogs!

. They do a wide range of sizes from travel sized minis to huge one liter bottles of shampoo and body lotions. 

. Their packaging has a nice retro feel to it. It's very functional and whilst it is pretty basic I find that it doesn't feel cheap.

. Kiehls stores are always attractive and well laid out (I like to shop at the flagship 3rd Avenue store in NYC) and I find that the staff are well educated about the products they are selling. 

. They are usually pretty darn generous with samples.

. They have a recycling program that, while not as generous as it once was, is still worth taking part in.
.  They have a rewards system where each $100 spent gives you $10 off your next purchase. 

. They have great value for money sets which make lovely gifts (or you could buy one and keep it for yourself!). 

There really are too many good Kiehl's products for me to talk about in detail but some of my faves are #1 Lip Balm (currently four tubes of this in the house!), Supremely Gentle Eye Make Up Remover, Ultra Facial Toner, Creme de Corps Body Lotion (all pictured above), Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, Amino Acid Shampoo and  Coriander Gently Exfoliating Body Scrub.

Overall there's a great range of products with something for everyone.
I'm a huge Kiehl's fan!
