Kat Burki Hand Therapy: Your hands circa 2005

My "Girls" Holiday Lunch at the Delamar Hotel Greenwich

Back in December, I hosted a luncheon for a bunch of my favorite clients.  My "Girls", as I like to think of them, are my loyal lovelies, who have relied on me as their Personal Shopper/Stylist from the time our children were in diapers, to my most recent friend, who just relocated back to Greenwich.

Divine...all!

Sweetly, many arrived with hostess gifts, pour moi-unnecessary, of course...the point of the lunch was to offer my thanks to them.

One of the things I received was Kat Burki's Hand Therapy, a delectable cream, that I swear, has taken 10 years off my hands!  Apparently, I'm not the only one having a lovefest with it...W Magazine chose is as their "Best Hand Cream of 2014".

An impressive get, for sure.

I had one problem...who to thank.  Somehow the card enclosure and my Kat Burki Hand Therapy got separated.  As I practically sat on the tube to expel the very last drop of my tube, I contemplated sending out a group email so I could identify my thoughtful gifter and find out where it was purchased.

Ironically, a day or so later, my friend Susan, who is both a dear client and blog follower, had an appointment with me at Richards to take a look at what's new for Spring.  "BTW", she inquired, "how did you like the Kat Burki Hand Therapy?"

Mystery solved!!!

I told her how much I loved it and that I recently even took the time to answer a query on a beauty site asking, "what's the best hand cream you've ever used?", to tout it.  Susan purchase Kat Burki products from Space NK in New Canaan, Ct.  I had the feeling that this might be a special, niche brand and had already inquired about it at the Space NK shop at Bloomingdales in White Plains.  I was told that they were familiar with the brand, thought it was terrific and recommended I purchase it in the NY store.

Well, love I do, but that's what the Internet is for, no?  I ended up buying it from the Dermstore, who always thrill me with their super speedy shipping. Within a day or so, my therapy was back in hand, smoothing, plump and fading flaws.

For those who might like to know the ingredients, here's a snippet from Kat Burki's website:

Oh, and should I mention I have dabbed it under my eyes???  More than a few times. Nothing to lose but a crow foot or two...
