*NOW CLOSED* Clarins at Clear Pharmacy | Giveaway

Last week I was invited in to the Clear Pharmacy in Newtownabbey to try out their Clarins skin bookable for just £10, which is redeemable against purchase 

(phone 028 9036 5828 to book).

Now I thought this would involve merely showing me product and recommending items to purchase but it was in fact a lovely mini-facial carried out by Kathrina who has worked at the Clarins counter for 11 years and knows everything there is to know about the brand.

She gave me a thorough cleanse first using the Clarins Cleansing Milk - a classic which has endured for decades. I'd forgotten how gorgeous it smells and how effective it is. It was followed by a toner. Katherine then used my favourite Instant Eye Make Up Remover on my eyes.

Next up was exfoliation which I opted out of as I'd just done an exfoliation myself that morning so we moved straight onto the mask. I had the choice of three depending on skin concern so on the day, the yellow one was my choice I needed all the nourishing

This was left on for about 15 minutes, which gave me a chance to have a look at the products on offer at the Clear Pharmacy. Kathrina had a few end of lines really well reduced as well as extra large sized cleansers and toners priced at just £28.

After the mask was removed, my favourite Double Serum was applied:

Along with eye cream - an area of my face I will confess to neglecting and I know I'll regret this in the future. So this was a no brainer for my selection. I absolutely loved the consistency of it.

To further boost the eye cream, Kathrina also used the eye mask which can be used at the same time once or twice a week for an extra dehydrated eye area.

Some day cream (with SPF) and some lip balm and I was ready to go and glowing.

I had come with a plan of what products I needed  - toner, eye cream and night face oil. On the face oil, Clarins have 3 options and they're all gorgeous

but I was unexpectedly gifted some products for myself so I decided to use my budget to buy a few prizes to give away on here.

I've bought two gift sets - one has the iconic Cleanser/Toner and the other the Double Serum...both come with generous travel sized samples. But then Kathrina gave me some more (bigger) travel sized samples so I am going to add some to the sets above and then use what's left as a third prize.

So here's what's up for grabs:

1st Prize - 30ml Double Serum gift set which includes 15ml Beauty Flash Balm and 15ml Gentle Refiner AND a 50 ml Instant Eye Make Up remover and 30ml Multi Active Day Cream. All presented in a Clarins summer canvas bag.
Worth over £100!

2nd Prize - Cleanser/Toner set with sample size products in a cosmetic bag with a 100ml Exfoliating Body Scrub & a 15ml Intensive Moisture Quenching Serum.
Worth over £60.

3rd Prize - Travel Size Selection - 50ml Hand and Nail Treatment Cream, 50ml Instant Eye Make Up Remover, 50ml One Step Exfoliating Cleanser and a 30ml Beauty Flash Balm.
Worth over £40.
