Yankee doodle dandy

New York skincare and beauty brand Kiehl’s has arrived in NZ exclusively at Smith & Caughey’s Queen St from February 23 and to celebrate they threw a USA themed party instore and spilling onto the main street entertaining passers-by.

So far my favourites are the smooth and creamy rich Avocado Eye Cream and the Ultra Facial Cleanser- I just love its consistency and feel - so we're keen to try out more now this brand is finally in New Zealand.

Kiehl’s Since 1851 was originally founded as an old-world apothecary in New York’s East Village, serving its customers homeopathic and herbal remedies, essential oils and over-the-counter prescriptions. Now a modern skin and hair care specialist, they are committed to generously serving customers high quality efficacious formulations for all the family – including men, women, babies and even pets!

And as part of their opening day celebrations, there was an American flavour in Queen Street with a NY jazz trio playing outside Smith & Caughey's, candy floss and popcorn machines and Harley Davidsons roaming Queen Street.
