Zara: Platform Ankle-Strap Sandals

 

I am obsessed with my new Zara platform sandals! For the past year, my infatuation with nude-colored shoes got the best of me, and my shoe collection is primarily of that color. Don't get me wrong-- nude is extremely versatile and will never go out of fashion. But still...

The heel is 4.57 inches and extremely light. Also, it has rubber soles! Given my poor track-record with high heels, not having rubber soles is a major deal-breaker for me. I love the ankle straps. They add a little femininity to counter the chunkiness of the heel. They're easy to walk in, and overall, great!

Kiehl's Haul

Today, I bought the 3 Steps To Ultra Moisture Kit ($26.50). It included a full-sized Ultra Facial Cream (1.7 fl. oz.), and travel sizes of the Ultra Facial Toner (1.4 fl. oz.) and the Ultra Facial Cleanser (1.0 fl. oz.).





I fell in love with Kiehl's moisturizer last year, when I spontaneously bought a travel- sized Ultra Facial Moisturizer. It was great for the winter, but as the weather is getting warmer and humidity is rising, it was time for me to invest in a new formula. According to the sales rep, the facial cream is a lighter formula, but virtually identical to the moisturizer. I certainly hope he's right. Last winter, the moisturizer could clear my face overnight. With the past few weeks of non-stop stress and exams, my skin is not looking too hot right now; I'm hoping this cream will do the trick.










Also, since the facial cream (same size) alone is the same price as the kit, I opted for the latter. I've tried samples of the toner and the cleanser before, so I'm excited to have them in semi-greater volumes.


Finally, there's a great promotion going on right now! If you sign up for their text message alerts (which, by the way, you can opt out of at any time) you will receive a full-sized Lip Balm #1, which is typically priced at $7. It's odorless and seems to be a good formula, so it's definitely worth the two seconds it took to sign up for the alerts.
