It’s that time of year again—Earth Day, that is—and we’re proud to share Kiehl’s latest environmental initiative, a Limited Edition Label Art Series to honor Earth Day and raise funds for environmental causes.

As you know, Kiehl’s has long had a strong commitment to the environment—not only do we have an ongoing “Recycle and Be Rewarded” program in our free-standing stores, but you might remember that last year, we raised $100,000 for Waterkeeper Alliance in a charitable partnership with Adrian Grenier, Kelly Slater, Erykah Badu and Parsons The New School for Design.

This year, in a new partnership, Kiehl’s collaborates with actress Julianne Moore, musician Pharrell Williams, artist Jeff Koons and pro-surfer Malia Jones to raise funds and awareness for the Rainforest Alliance, which is dedicated to sustaining biodiversity and ensuring sustainable livelihoods.

For this initiative, each partner created a Limited Edition label for Kiehl’s Açaí Damage-Protecting Toning Mist – itself part of a skincare collection that is not only Eco Cert certified organic, but is also the FIRST SKINCARE RANGE to ever receive gold standard Cradle to Cradle certification – meaning that it is made with the least amount of waste from start to finish.

100% of net proceeds (amounting to $200,000) will be raised worldwide to benefit Rainforest Alliance with this collection. (Please note: there is a slight variation to the bottle assortment available internationally—the bottles available in the US will feature labels designed by Jeff Koons, Pharrell Williams, Malia Jones and Julianne Moore as shown above.) To support the project, celebrity photographer David LaChapelle will capture each personality in his unique style.

Each mist is $26. The collection will be available on Kiehls.com and in all Kiehl’s Since 1851 stores in April.

Hailing from Australia I was sadly unaware of Bloom cosmetics until I was recently sent some products to try. The packaging was  so cute and the colors looked great, I was excited to give them a whirl. A few products really stood out to me and I want to share them with you.

Bloom lip gloss is my new must have, I find myself wearing it all the time.  The Watermelon shade is perfection, at first I worried it might be too bright but the color wears like a tint so it ends up being the most perfect red lip gloss. On top of being the perfect shade it feels like a lip treatment its so hydrating and in the cold weather it keeps my lips from feeling chapped.

Lip Gloss

Bloom’s high-shine Lip Gloss conditions and moisturises your lips. Lightly flavoured with Vanilla and Mandarin essential oils.

$19

Bloom’s shadow liner is a great tool, not only is it a great stay put liner you can use the flat head for eye shadow. I love a beauty tool that can do double duty so perfectly.  The Emerald green color is amazing!

Shadow Liner

Bloom’s Shadow Liner is both an Eye Liner and Eye Shadow. Use its’ unique, flat lead for precision lining or to sweep colour over the entire lid. Its creamy texture is long-lasting and minimizes creasing.

$17.00

I love these super smooth shadows, the colors having staying power and really resist creasing. They work great in combination with Bloom shadow liner.

Eye Shadow

Featuring a smooth-as-silk texture, Bloom’s Eye Shadow range comes in a variety of shimmer and matte formulas. The colour-rich, long-lasting formula applies smoothly and blends effortlessly.

$16.00

The Hana Elite Flat Iron is 100% true, solid ceramic. This means it will never peel or chip to expose hair to damaging metal – it also means Hana can include large ceramic heaters that cover the entire plates for the best possible heat distribution and retention. As the pros know, the secret to ceramic hair straightening is in the ceramic technology itself – and Hana focuses on bringing you the best flat iron money can buy. (Compare to the other pure ceramic flat irons on the market today.)

Harnessing the power of high performance and skin-caring ingredients, Estée Lauder Research brings you
our most advanced and effective age-defying foundation to date. The New Resilience Lift Extreme
Radiant Lifting Makeup SPF15 offers all-day continuous moisture, ultra-radiance, incredible lift and
exceptional spreadibility – all in a new fluid formula that is ideal for maturing skin. This luxurious, flawless
liquid foundation keeps you ageless, gliding smoothly and effortlessly over skin, evening out the complexion
and leaving skin looking exceptionally hydrated and beautifully radiant all day!

I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I love how it moisturizes my skin – while looking flawless at the same time! It is absolutely wonderful!

As we age, our skin begins to lose firmness, elasticity and the ability to maintain moisture levels, becoming
drier and leading to an increased appearance of lines and wrinkles. Historically, it has been difficult to
address these aging factors in a foundation formula. However, the scientists at Estée Lauder’s research
labs recently discovered a new way to infuse higher levels of skincare actives into the foundation formula,
making it possible to create a high-performing foundation that not only spreads easily and envelopes the
skin, but also infuses skin with moisture and radiance, restoring skin’s younger look and function from the
moment it is applied.

Thanks to Estée Lauder’s advanced time-released hydration technology, Resilience Lift Extreme Radiant
Lifting Makeup SPF15 relieves dry skin immediately and provides skin with all-day moisture, ultra radiance
and incredible lift so skin looks supple and feels comfortable throughout the day. In addition, the new and
improved oil-in-water formula features a lighter texture that allows the formula to glide over skin effortlessly
and blend in seamlessly for an ultra-radiant finish that evens out and brightens the complexion and restores
lost luminosity. The result is skin that instantly looks more firm, lifted, moisturized and radiant – in a word,
flawless.

Available in 15 beautifully wearable, color-true shades that range from warm to neutral to cool, Resilience
Lift Extreme Radiant Lifting Makeup’s long wearing formula is buildable, providing skin with luxurious
medium to full coverage.

ALL-DAY MOISTURE
• This advanced, time-released formula delivers a surge of refreshing hydration to skin.
• Loaded with a specially formulated Hyaluronic Acid – a virtual moisture magnet, the formula eliminates
mid-day dryness and the resulting appearance of fine lines, gradually responding to skin’s needs
throughout the day.
• Skin-loving ingredients, such as natural butters and ceramides, work together with the hyaluronic acid,
to help address the special needs of mid-life skin and deliver a continuous surge of the essential
hydration mature skin needs for all-day comfort and a perfect finish that lasts all day.
