Clarins eventDruženje s Clarinsom

Lately I’ve been missing quite a few of “beauty” evens. So when all the stars aligned aka I was healthy and so was the little one, I had 2 nannies available and I was awake (don’t laugh, but I overslept Illamasqua’s event :blush: ), I simply had to go to Clarins one. :biggrin:

I did learn a lot about the brand and company itself which was the purpose anyway. Clarins has a lot of fans out there and I had no clue about it. It was actually pretty funny when presenter asked if we know what is Clarins most known for. The correct answer was flowers (extracts&co) in their formulas. You know which answer ran through my mind? Clarins eyeshadow quads. :biggrin:

Here are the facts I remembered about the company itself:

• fair trade: they build schools, wells in counties in third world countries that produce their active ingredients
• they put a lot into what their customers think – from the beginning they try to incorporate their wishes in new products. First with leaflets in every product and now online
• here is one wow fact – it’s still family held company. What their father started, sons now continue
• all products are still made in France
• they stopped testing on animals long time ago

Most of the presentation time was dedicated to skin care products, but there were few goodies to check out for us make-up lovers too: new foundation (looks great for dryer skins), concealer, autumn-winter collection (lipsticks, palette :drool: ) …

We received for testing few skin care samples and mascara+make up remover. Mascara brought smile to my face as I had full make up on … except mascara which I managed to forget. :biggrin: I will definitively be reviewing this in my mascara test.

Zadnje čase se mi ne izide marsikateri event, tako da sem prav morala iti na Clarinsovega. Bodimo realni – kolikokrat pa se zgodi, da imam istočasno: na voljo kar dve varuški, nisem prehlajena jaz ali hčerkica ter sem budna in dokaj prisebna (ne se smejat – Illamasquinega sem prespala :blush: ). :biggrin:

Veste kaj je bil zame najbolj hecen trenutek eventa? Predstavnica uvoznika živo (in zelo zanimivo :thumb: ) razlaga o sami znamki ter vpraša prisotne, če vemo po čemu je Clarins najbolj znan. Odgovor – po rožicah. Medtem, ko so vsi kimali, se je meni podilo po glavi … moj odgovor bi bili njihovi četvorčki senčil za oči. :biggrin:

Itak, da sem ugotovila, da vem še manj o Clarinsu kot sem mislila … ampak, zato sem tudi šla, da izvem kaj več o znamki, ki jo drugi tako hvalijo.

Kaj je meni ostalo najbolj v spominu o Clarinsu kot podjetju:

• fair trade pristop: v okoljih kjer pridelujejo Clarinsove ključne sestavine, gradijo šole, vodnjake, vodovodne sisteme s čisto pitno vodo …
• od začetka obstoja podjetja pa vse do danes sprejemajo mnenja strank in na osnovi tega prilagajajo svoje proizvode
• si lahko mislite, da gre še vedno za družinsko podjetje, ki ga je ustanovil oče, danes pa vodita sinova?
• še vedno so vsi izdelki poizvedeni v Franciji
• eni izmed prvih, ki so nehali testirati na živalih

Večina besede je sicer tekla o negovalnem delu Clarinsa, vendar smo tudi ljubiteljice dekorativne kozmetike prišle na račun s preizkušanjem najnovejše kolekcije pri nas (šminke, paleta :drool: ), tekoče podlage, korektorja … Na žalost, nisem uspela ugotoviti ali je najsvetlejši odtenek nove podlage zadosti svetel zame, ker so se pred menoj znašle same temne verzije oz. so najsvetlejše takoj odpeketale naprej. :silly:

Poleg testerčkov negovalne kozmetike, smo dobile v test tudi maskaro in odstranjevalec ličil. Priznam, meni je šlo rahlo na smeh, kajti tisti dan mi je celo uspelo narediti kompleten make-up … razen maskare na katero sem pozabila. :biggrin: Ravno prav, da jo lahko vključim v test maskar … ki se bo sedaj lahko končno začel – prej je bilo namreč nemogoče najti udobno pozicijo za urejanje obrvi poleg ogromnega trebuha.
