To really hammer home the fact that the namesake Amazonian berry in its new Açai Damage-Repairing Skincare line is considered a “super-powered” antioxidant, Kiehl’s has ordered up a brand site where you can create and share your own Pop Art-style comic strip. Finally, a chance to don that cape and serve up some justice, skincare-style. [...]

Fresh off the launch of their much discussed Elizabeth and James line at Holt Renfrew stores, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen visited the Toronto set of MuchOnDemand, the Canuck version of Total Request Live.
