Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum visits the Clinique

Well its not just Dr Gradus who went to the Clinique talk, a bunch of music students were at dk u at 11am on the 28 July for the workshop. I kinda thought it started at 12 till Annie started to text me telling me that I got the wrong time and requested me to come down immediately to dk u. My dearie roommate too had to rush from the exam hall to take the previous semester results. Poor girl.

Well, since I made my way to Dk 2 through the library, I missed the registration at the counter at the upper floor. Luckily I didn't miss much and the talk started by a guy named Alex. Jie Ru and Valerie was there already and not long after that Angeline too came. The other masters students came shortly after class.

We first got acquainted the basic three step Clinique skincare line. This is the plan for me. Go to the talk, ask whats wrong with my skin, then go for a trial then if it gets any worse, go see a dermatologist. I thought the first part was interesting because they explain the proper way to use the products. These are some of the things that I found out:

1. Clinique liquid soap doesn't have bubbles. No wonder I used yaya's wash was quite different. I'm used to the bar, although I didn't actually like the concept because you need to let it dry properly before you could keep it in its casing.




2. Always wipe in an upward direction. The pores kinda have a flap downward and that wiping upward would maximize pore cleaning. I always just wipe in any direction, didn't know there was a direction.




3. The third one is you must heat up any liquid before applying on your skin by rubbing an amount to your fingers. This is to prevent too much concentration on one spot before rubbing on the entire face. This is a bit debate able. Because some does request you to apply on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead before rubbing entirely. But the guy has a point though. Liquids include, moisturizer, foundation, sunblocks and all creams.

Next is the make up. Not really a priority for me since my huge problem is clearing my problem face, however here are some interesting facts that I didn't thought about of:

1. Eyeliner has always been a problem for me. The best was is to stretch the top part of your eyelids and put it on. It then makes a straight and quick line in no time.



2. Never make goldfish lips to wear blush. its best to smile.

After a nice quick tour of the whole skin care line, time for some free stuff. We all got the rm100 makeover voucher to use whenever (before 31 august though), depending on your skin preference, get sunscreen or moisture surge cream and the 3 step tester. Val on the other hand went to volunteer to go for the make-up demonstration got a lot of other stuff. (soooo envy her).

At the end of the talk, I got a chance to talk to Alex. He mentioned about whether I have change of diet, environment, or anything. Like a month or so I did get a chance to go to Clinique @ Pavilion and it is a must that we check every six months if you are using the product so that they could recommend different products or just to check whether your skin has upgraded or down graded. Honestly, I also feel that me and my mum have not been able to make time for any consultation and get the best opinion as mummy and yaya.

But anyway, its done annually so if you are interested wait for next year and probably can get more great free stuff. I am now under anti-blemish solutions skin care line. See whether it works or dad starts making appointments with the real Dr. Gradus the dermatologist, hopefully it leads to heaven.
