Clinique Bloggers Event Cardiff

I recently got invited to a bloggers event hosted by Clinique. The event was earlier on today and was in Boots, Cardiff. I really love going to blogger events as you get to meet some fantastic people as well as checking out some awesome products. Clinique is one of those brands where I have tried one or two products but haven't really looked at the entire range. This event was a great opportunity to try a lot of new stuff.

The event was held off the shop floor in a room that was fantastically decorated for this event. Once we were all checked in we were all shown to a room that had quite a lot of products to try as well as loads of brushes and applicators. I just love these beauty events where you get to sit down and experiment with all the colors. It really does let you get a feel for the range.

After a quick introduction about Clinique we were told about all of the products and the best way to use them. Apart from a big range of makeup, Clinique is well known for it's range of skincare, suited to all different skin types.

I once tried Clinique's 3 step skincare programme a few years back. My skin really didn't take to it and the clarifying lotion I was recommended was completely the wrong one for my skin type and even hurt to use. It stung so bad it felt like acid and I had to wash it off. Fortunately I decided to give Clinique another try and this event was a perfect opportunity to see the full range on offer. I was told that 3 step isn't for everyone (I happen to be one of those people) and that there was a more suitable range for my skin type that is much gentler and without alcohol. 

The skin products I tried on my skin earlier on did feel much better than the ones I had tried a few years back and I will be going back to the Clinique counter for a skin consultation.

After skincare it was time to check out the makeup. Clinique offer a full range of foundation along with a good range of color. Even for people like me who love something a little less ordinary there was plenty of colors for me to choose from.

Using all of the products on offer I was able to create a makeup look for myself. I was really impressed with their Beyond Perfection Foundation And Concealer. It gave me full coverage and blended into the skin nicely. I also liked using their new Foundation Buff Brush which felt awesome to apply foundation with and gave my skin that nice glow.

My look

At the event we were all given a fantastic goody bag with some smaller sized products as well as some samples. One of the products was the primer I had used earlier on. I loved the feel of it and i'm very happy there was one in the goody bag.

I really enjoyed the event and thought it was fantastic. It was a great introduction for me to Clinque and a great opportunity to try new products. Thanks Clinique.
