Collection Includes:

  • 24/7: Our hottest pink
  • Daredevil: A pop of neon pink
  • Decadent: Dazzling red with metallic flakes
  • Dream On: A brilliantly induced boysenberry
  • Go Go Girl: A sleek and sexy candy apple red
  • Love Sprinkles: Bubble gum pink gleaming with white hearts and                                       flecks of glitter
  • Pinky Glitter: Bright pink with a splash of sparkle
  • Rise and Shine: The perfect teal

I was fortunate enough to be sent four nail polishes from the collection; 24/7, Decadent, Dream On,  and Pinky Glitter.  The colors are vibrant and stunning in person as they are in the photos.  The polishes go on smooth and to get the most vibrant color, I would recommend two coats of the non-glitter formulas.  The glitter and sprinkles are perfect on top of a color or where alone.  A great buy!

The SinfulColors Flirt with Hearts collection is available for $1.99 each at Walgreens, Rite Aid and other mass retailers in February!  Want to be in the know follow SinfulColors on Facebook or Twitter.

Kiehl’s will be the first beauty company in over 30 years to appear in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day.

The theme of Kiehl’s float is “Inspiring a Beautiful World” and will showcase their original apothecary in New York’s East Village and represent their three philanthropic endeavors: HIV/AIDS Awareness, The Environment and Children’s Causes.

Kiehl’s fits right in with the Rose Parade as Kiehl’s uses natural ingredients powered by by science in their skincare products, and quite a few of those ingredients will be represented in their float; sunflowers, roses, pear blossoms, pears and peonies.

Another first will be that Kiehl’s is the first company to have motorcycles ride along side of the float and with that two very special guests.  In the vintage sidecar motorcycle, Timothy Brown, the Berlin Patient and an advocate for the rights of those living with HIV and AIDS around the world.  The second guest is seventeen year old Evan Dumas, of Culver City Unified School District who represents Kiehl’s commitment to improving the environment through Recycle Across America.

Riding on the float will be  Kiehl’s President, Chris Salgardo, Kiehl’s Senior Vice President of Global Communications, Rob Imig, and eight of Kiehl’s West Coast Kiehl’s Customer Representatives.

Be on the watch for the float and follow the team along on  social media at #KiehlsxRoseParade!

This holiday season, indulge your lips with four clutch-sized tubes of Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick, our stunning new innovation in lip color. Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick gives the high shine of a gloss, the lasting power of a stain and the intense color of a liquid lipstick in one longwear formula.
