'Newsbabes' Spotlight Healthier Skin During Launch Party For Kiehl’s New Tysons Corner Boutique!

MCLEAN, Va. -- Healthy skin took center stage on Tuesday evening, as a dozen or so of the District’s newswomen (and a handful of supportive male colleagues) crowded Kiehl’s gleaming new boutique at Tysons Corner Center for the location’s launch party.

While the warmly lit store has been open for business now for several weeks already, yesterday’s crowded event nevertheless served as the official grand opening of the skincare retailer’s latest area location.

DJ Neekola spun the celebration’s soundtrack.
Approximately a hundred eager shoppers began lining-up just outside the cozy boutique during the mid-afternoon, as they patiently waited for the chance to browse Kiehl’s much vaunted product line of moisturizers, cleansers, toners, serums, and balms (and the chance to score the swag bag full of goodies that was cheerfully gifted to early arrivals).

ABC7’s Cynne Simpson brought her mom!

NBC4’s Eun Yang was already a devoted fan of the brand.
Lending their support to the celebration were well known D.C. news anchors Angie Goff, Anita Brikman, Pamela Brown, Rebecca Cooper, Lesli Foster, Andrea Roane, Cynne Simpsons, and Eun Yang, as part of their charity work with the annual Newsbabes Bash for Breast Cancer effort.

ABC7’s Pamela Brown chats with WUSA9’s Lesli Foster and Kiehl’s President Chris Salgardo.

NBC4’s Angie Goff surrounded by fans.
Indeed, as a thank you for their support, Kiehl’s President (and lifelong fan) Chris Salgardo presented the group with a generous $5,000 check benefiting the GW Mammovan (a traveling clinic that provides free breast cancer screenings to area residents who couldn’t otherwise afford them).

And Kiehl’s customers also walked away winners after being provided the opportunity to meet and pose for photographs with some of their favorite area newscasters. One lucky attendee even won a prized $500 gift box, courtesy of the store, and lunch for two with a couple of the hosts!

Between browsing the aisles and the occasional chat with a ‘newsbabe’ or two (or 12!), guests were also treated to chilled glasses of pink lemonade and a sumptuous spread of specially-branded Georgetown Cupcakes which had been donated by the D.C. culinary institution just for the occasion.

Sweet charity never looked so happy and healthy!
