Fall in love with Kiehl's Valentine's Day specials

As a starving (but resourceful) student at NYU, I treated the Kiehl's flagship store in Manhattan's East Village, a mere two blocks from my dorm, as my own personal beauty counter. En route to class, I would pop in and slather on moisturizer; prior to a date, I would sample a spritz of their signature musk. Did I ever purchase anything? Probably not.

Since then, I have reimbursed Kiehl's handsomely by making regular stops at the University Village location. While I love their classics, I'm always excited to see new offerings, such as the new, limited-edition Spiced Plum collection, introduced especially for Valentine's Day. A heady and memorable scent, Spiced Plum is available in a candle ($28), lotion ($19.50) and liquid body cleanser ($15.50).

Also for Valentine's Day, the University Village Kiehl's store offers very cute PVC gift packs that can be filled with your choice of three Lip Gloss or Lip Balm shades. You might choose one of two new Lip Gloss flavors ($14.50): Downtown Peach or French Rose, the latter of which is inspired by Kiehl's French Rosewater formula.

During the month of February, customers will receive two temporary tattoos designed by East Village tattoo parlor New York Adorned.
