This 11.11 or Singles’ Day, the biggest online and offline shopping day in the world, TR spent so many of her hard-earned cookies to purchase things that made her tiny heart grow by 20%. She bought items ranging from retinol serum to baby back ribs from 12 different stores. Her favorites are from Kiehl’s – her second purchase from their online store since 9.9.
With all the freebies she got from the 9.9 purchase from Kiehl’s and her using most of them for almost 60 days.

In the morning, she uses Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, and Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense. TR thinks (thinks, because she cannot prove it) the the skin on her face and neck has improved by 7% (this is an arbitrary number, and 7 is her favorite number). This is the reason why she decided to order from the store again. This time, she ordered Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum and Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado.
