Clinique Event at Edgars, Sandton City on 14 June 2013

My friend, Lee, and I arrived pretty early, so we felt a bit awkward sort of hanging around not really knowing what to do. The Clinique ladies took charge of us and soon had us seated, with a glass of Appletiser and each of us with an assigned makeup artist. The purpose of the event was to try out the new chubby stick for eyes. But my friend and I actually ended up with a full makeover - one of the advantages of arriving early! I was hugely impressed by the makeover - and I'm a bit of a tough customer as I think I already know everything there is to know! :) But I learned a couple of things that evening. The Chubby Sticks are quite simply gorgeous - stunning colours with luscious names that make you want to take them all home with you! But that review will come later. The event itself was great fun, we had a good laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the pampering experience. We really felt like a million dollars afterwards. The only downside for me was that we didn't really get to meet the other testers from Beauty Bulletin - there was no-one to meet and greet, introduce us all etc. It was rather haphazard and I know some of the people had to wait quite some time for their turn. As we were already involved when most people arrived and they were involved when we left, we actually only met one person. I would have liked to have shared the experience with everyone. But that was a minor gripe, all in all, I loved the whole thing and am hugely grateful for the opportunity. :)
