My local Debenhams is having the best revamp yet - we are getting additions of Kat Von D, Bobbi Brown, MUFE, and of course Kiehls... Needless to say we are all seriously excited! *squeel* So the lovely ladies at Kiehls invited over some local bloggers to their opening night - and I had such a good time I thought I would write a post on it.
This post isn't sponsored, but all the mini/sample items shown were within a goodie bag for attending. There was no promise of a post, I just loved their skin consultation! Now onto that...
So all their staff are trained to help you to make the most out of their skincare range. They start off by asking you what you are currently using. The best thing to do here is to be completely honest. I had to admit my failures at even washing my face most mornings #badblogger.
They will also ask you the problems you have with your skin, and where you would like to see improvements. They also ask what you want from skincare - which to me was the game changer. It's all well and good telling me I need a 45min routine, but with a life that is as hectic as mine - if it doesn't take less than 5 - realistically, i'm not doing it!
They then do a fancy PH balance test that will tell you where you need work on your face - which to me really opened my eyes a little on the skincare I need to be using.
My test showed that despite my oily AF T-Zone, my cheeks are dry, making me firmly in the combo section - this was a shocker to me, I thought I was just oily!
So my needs were:
Combination Skin
Quick & Easy
Reduce Break Outs
No Greasy Feeling
Kiehl's then recommend a skincare routine for you from their collection, this was my line up.

This all sounds so fantastic. I will have to research if there is a Debenhams with this on offer anywhere near me x
ReplyDeleteAh lovely! I use FeelUnique's pick and mix service so I got a couple of Kiehl's samples sent this month, but the super multi corrective cream sadly broke me out pretty badly! I've heard midnight recovery is amazing though and definitely want to try that out soon!
