Clarins (Tangs Orchard)

I went for the Clarins Beauty Talk with the OCBC credit card mailer and boy did I not had a wonderful time... While I emailed to make the appointment, the reply was quick and for a slot of max 4 persons, i managed to secure 2 at the time and day of my liking. Its not for free of course, yet its extremely worth it because the amount paid can be fully redeemed with purchase of any product.

I was excited when I approached the counter with my friend for the beauty-talk. We had to make payment first which was quick and were issued vouchers of the entire sum we had paid, then we were offered to seat at a private corner while the friendly staff chat up with us on the daily skin problems we face. After making a mental note on our issues and skin type, we proceeded to start the beauty-talk because the others were late. I silently appreciated this professional act. The staff introduced their beauty analyst who brought with her a large tray of clarin product and offered us disinfected hair bands. This is a hands-on session and we could use all the product available.

We eagerly put on our hair-band and the analyst sprayed a perfume like alcohol sanitizer on her hand while she explained the use of it. Smelled really nice and we felt like princesses. She worked on my friend's face while I work on my own imitating her actions as she knowledgeably explained the functions and ingredients of the products. I love the mask, though we only tried on half our face. The mask is light and foamy yet creamy. Its goes thick yet light on our faces and after we cleaned it off, our skin felt tighter and perkier... Its good result for one application.

As we kind-of completed our applications of the various pampering products, Our faces felt essentially moisturised, light and gives off a pinkish glow. We were also given a starter set that comprises of travel sized items as well as generous set of test packets of their latest anti-aging range of serum and day and night creams. We were wooed to buy more of their products however as we rumbled on the current products we were using, the friendly staff was not overbearing nor insistent about our purchase. We each used up the coupon to purchase some daily products and happily headed home. Though we didn't give them a BIG SALE (as the products are moderately higher priced), the staff were still friendly and professional, as such, i'm sure to go back and give them more business. Excellent character and sales attitude. I am impressed.

The products were great in texture and do really made a difference to my skin, though I'm the regular combination skin with many other issues due to my laziness. I'm gonna try the stuffs in my goodie bag and be sure to go back for more...

I've had a great experience and its totally worth it. The money I used to buy the products, I get a free comprehensive hands-on on most of the products on top of that a very fruitful goodie bag... I'm simply aesthetic....
