Kiehl's LifeRide 2015

Kimberly and I stopped into Kiehl's South Coast Plaza to celebrate and support the Riders of LifeRide, benefiting amfAR Aids Research. The LifeRiders have traveled by motorcycle more than 18,000 miles the past 6 years to support amfAR's effort to find a cure for AIDS/HIV; and Kiehl's has donated $1,200,00 to amfAR since 2015....wow! The South Coast location had an awesome display featuring the limited edition Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, as well as refreshments from Z'Tejas, Fiji Water and Rebull, and an awesome motorcycle to take pics in front of. LifeRiders Chris Salgardo, Kevin Robert Frost, Kristy Swanson, Jay Ellis, Teddy Sears, Vanessa Marcil, Ben Cohen, Conrad Leach, and Grant Reynolds were in attendance as well as Miss California, Natasha Martinez! Of course, Kimberly and I tested a bunch of products in the store, she has used Kiehl's more frequently than I, and I was quite excited to take home a bag of Kiehl's goodies to try which I can't wait to share with you! Do you use Kiehl's products?

La Roche-Posay's NEW Suncare Launches

I've heard such spectacular things about skincare brand La Roche-Posay from my good friend Angel whom had actually gotten to visit the French town of La Roche-Posay and has tried many of the brand's products. Therefore, I was filled with excitement when I was invited to a summer breakfast at Fig + Olive in West Hollywood to learn more about the brand's sun care launches (including the sunscreen serum Anthelios AOX) and makeup artist must-haves.
The Brand�s Assistant Vice President, Tyler Steele and Board certified dermatologist Shirley Chi, M.D. spoke about each new product as well as the importance of sun care. Chi explained how adult acne is much more common over the age of 25/30, and these products are great for acne prone skin because other acne products tend to over dry skin, and La Roche-Posay doesn't dry out skin but moisturizes it. I have become increasingly more aware of the intense, daily sun exposure and pollutants my skin experiences and am glad I learned more about how to protect my skin; as well as take home a La Roche-Posay sun care goodies to try.
I swatch-ed all of the products during the lunch, but also started using the Anthelios 60 Cooling Water-Lotion Sunscreen, which is seamless to put on and doesn't feel like I'm wearing sunscreen, making daily application of sunscreen effortless. I also started using the Physiological Micellar Solution every evening after removing makeup with a towelette and I love how much leftover remnants the solution picks up as well as soothes and tones my skin; it's also very gentle.
I am beyond thrilled to use the other products and share more about my experiences, now go protect your skin! Apply and reapply sunscreen, and check out the rest of La Roche-Posay's products here.
