Kiehl's 160th Birthday

Kiehl's turned 160th and I was down at the celebration with some friends and a special thanks to William for the invitation. He's one of the Kiehl's boy, how can he not be there right?

That's William...

The event was at ION, Glass House and they had lined up the Kiehl's boys to greet every arriving guest that day.

After many tried, I managed to get all the guys to look at me....

So let me introduce you guys to Kiehl's before I go on 

(I know you wana see more of the boys, be patient ?) =)

The venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care was founded since 1851, as a classic pharmacy in the East Village neighbourhood. Kiehl's founding family established their apothecary to fufill the individual needs of every customer who came through its doors. 

And so 160 years later, the magic of the "Kiehl's Experience" extends around the world as the company continues to delight patrons with its high quality products that assures the health of their skin and hair. Today, the family's message endures: " We are delighted to serve you." 

In honor of this tradition, Kiehl's proudly introduces the Limited Edition New York Heritage Collection, in stores September 2011, and available in Kiehl's stores worldwide.

Love the display.

Friendly "Physicist" doing the famous Kiehl's greeting. He was very nice to introduce me to the products.

Packaged with the limited edition black and gold packaging (inspired by Kiehl's New York roots) are the 3 historical formulations. Namely, "Ultra Facial Cream", "Calendula Herbal Extract Toner" and "Original Musk Oil EDT". They are still customer's all time favourite today!

1) Ultra Facial Cream

• 24-hour, light-textured daily hydrator leaves skin comfortable and visibly well-balanced, particularly in harsh weather conditions. 
• Unique combination of ingredients helps reduce moisture loss while drawing and absorbing moisture from the air. 
• With continuous moisture replenishment throughout the day, skin is smooth and healthy-looking.

P.S. The "physicist" told me that people use this when climbing Mt. Everest!

2) Calendula Herbal Extract Toner

• Effective toner formulated with select herbal extracts.
• Gently cleanses and soothes normal to oily skin types.
• Contains no alcohol or harsh synthetic drying agents. 
• May be used to soothe and improve problem areas.

P.S. Don't think the solution has residue, it is in fact REAL flower petals in the bottle!

3) Original Musk Oil EDT

This modern version of Kiehl's classic signature scent is based on the unique blend that is Kiehl's Musk. Kiehl's special Musk "recipe" begins with an initial creamy, fresh citrus burst of Bergamot Nectar and Orange Blossom, followed by a soft floral bouquet of Rose, Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Neroli. Finally, Original Musk Eau de Toilette dries down to a warm, sensual Oriental finish of Tonka Nut, White Patchouli and, of course, Musk, the soul of this distinctively modern scent.

P.S. It was first discovered in the vault called the Love Oil..... =X

So after hearing all the fabulous, we went around taking photos and I took some with the celebrities present that day.

The display in the Glass House made me feel as though I was walking into a pharmacy...

Chua En Lai was the host for the day.

Just a little note before I go off.
