My Clarins face cleanser and toner~

Update [Aug 1, 2013] 
Please scroll down for original post

I know it has been a while since I posed this blog and used this product, the fact is, I was so underwhelmed and disappointed with it that I totally forgot about it for the longest time! So, it's a pretty standard three step system, cleaner, toner and moisturizer. I started to break out soon after I used the product, and my skin started to clear up shortly after I stopped using it. The cleaner and moisturizer were nothing out of the ordinary, but the toner just felt wrong. When the toner is applied, I can feel a layer of product on my face, it felt like it was not properly absorbed or something.

I have no idea as to which step of the three step system caused the break out, but I felt I have given it a fair chance and I had made the right decision in abandoning it. I will note that sometime it does take a little bit of time for one's skin to adjust to a new product, so perhaps had I used it for a long period I would see better result, but the sample quantity did not allow it.

Clarins is a fairly high-end/expensive product and I expected more. If you are looking for a product recommendation, can I interest  you in:
Cleanser: Khiel's Ultra Facial Cleaner
Toner: Lancome Tonique Douceur
Moisturizer: Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital
or for a cheaper alternative: Olay Moisturizing Lotion Sensitive Skin

Those are my ALL TIME FAVOURTS!!

Stay beautiful~

Honestly, one of the best things in life is Getting FREE Stuff! 

>>Read to the bottom to see how you too can get this awesome Clarins sample!!! <<


Clarins is a French luxury cosmetics company, which manufactures prestige skincare, makeup and fragrances products. There are five different types of samples being given out to cater to the needs of different skins, the one I got is designed for younger skins <3 the other ones include intense hydration, skin firming etc.

I love the packaging of the samples. The products are actually in tiny bottles that resemble the full size product <3 I also checked out the full size Clarins products while I was in Shoppers, and they are expensive! price ranges between $40-$60, which is totally outside of my budget, so it's really nice to be able to try out the free sample, and if the result is OMG amazing! I will probably feel better about committing to buying the full size product.

I will be trying out this sample during the next few weeks, and I will let you guys know how it is~


I was really happy about the sample because it is quite sizable, and the three sample products came in one big sample box! 

The samples are:
1. Daily Energizer Cream Gel, 5ml
2. Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster, 10ml, 
3. Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel, 5ml. 

The Daily Energizer Cleaning Gel is a cleanser, and the other two are to be applied after washing your face, and before applying your moisturizer~

But if you choose to get a different box you will probably get some other products~
