Clarins ‘The Big Beauty Gift’ in Debenhams

I love a good gift with purchase, in fact an offer like that is usually the
reason why I’ll treat myself to more expensive products, because you get so much
value for your money! Debenhams have a fantastic offer on at the moment,
involving the classic Clarins brand. If you purchase two items, with one being a
skincare item, you will receive three very very generous ‘sample’
sizes, AKA The Big Beauty Gift. I’m reluctant to call them samples because they’re large
enough to get a proper good feel of the product – nothing mini about these at
all! ^_^

The product I am most excited about is the Exfoliating Body Scrub For Smooth Skin* (100ml) as I was in need of a decent exfoliator which
didn’t create a big old mess in the bath (i’m talking about you frank body!). It
has bamboo powders which are essentially natural microbeads, for exfoliation and
I love that the particles aren’t too rough or abrasive, yet they still work
effectively. This product does have quite a strong smell, the words orange and
mandarin come to mind, however once it has been washed off it disappears. I was
so pleased with how soft this scrub made my skin feel and I am looking forwards
to it becoming a regular part of my body care routine!

I was intrigued to receive the Body lift cellulite control* (100ml) because I have never really looked
into products of this sort before. This cream has a gel formula and sinks into
the skin very quickly. I didn’t notice a strong scent which I appreciated as
body cream scents tend to stick around. According to the Clarin’s site this is a
‘revolutionary body contouring cream’ and when looking up reviews, the
ones for this actual product (in the red bottle) seemed to be pretty positive.
Most people have said that with continued use they actually noticed their skin
looking more firm and taunt, so I’m excited to be putting this to the test. I
will be sure to update you all in an empties post later on in the year.

The third free gift is the Pure melt cleansing gel* (50ml) which I am looking forwards
to using because I tend to stick to more affordable cleansers, so its a real
treat to try something from a more luxurious brand! It has a gel consistency
when first squeezed out, it then turns into an oil when massaged into the skin
and finally when put into contact with water it is more of a milky cleanser
texture. The words pure melt to me, instantly signified that it is supposed to
be more of a makeup remover, rather than a final cleanser. As you might know I
am currently using the Una Brennan Vitamin C Cleansing Oil which I
adore, but as soon as it is finished I am going to switch to this. Again it is
such a treat to have a great sized cleanser from Clarins in my stash!

This is honestly one of the best gift with purchases I have seen in a long
while but if you want to get your hands on these products you need to be quick!
This offer ends on the 12th January 2016, so pick up two full
sized products (with one being a skincare item) and take advantage! ^_^ below
I’ve written a little wishlist as inspo if you need it ^_^
