Waouh (that's Wow in French)

Maybe because lately I've been feeling lonely or sick or both together (or maybe I just needed to do something on a sunny saturday afternoon) I went throughout Madrid looking for a Sephora with Clarins make-up, as I had a potencial buy in my mind. Realising that the most central Sephora didn't have it, I tried to go to the other one the guy advised me, but to no avail, as I got lost and ended up quite annoyed with the whole experience - remember, I feel the flu is visiting quite soon. Resigned to go home, at the last minute realised that Bodybell, another beauty haven in Madrid, could have it and I parked nearby. Once inside, I left my poor and tired soul to the Argentinian saleswoman and just listened what she said. Usually I don't listen to them, I don't want their advise, but this time I was in need. Don't know why, maybe I needed the attention and the chit chat. The thing is that she took me all over the big brands counters - I was enjoying it - and we finally got back to where she took off, the Clarins counter. I ended up buying 2 products and got this Wow (Waouh!!!) bag:


and got out of there all smiley with a fashionable umbrella (for having spent my eyes in there) and a few more samples...This made my day and I returned home much better.

Now that I'm not travelling anywhere, I must use at home my cute samples of all creams available - when I went home, me and Mum went to the pharmacy to buy some night creams of Vichy and the girl there got crazy and gave each of us around 20 samples of the brand... We just stared at her and got out of there quickly, all giggly. Then, went to visit my aunt and she also got tons of samples which she doesn't want, so I ended up bringing home a whole bag of samples which I shared with my sister - to her amazement! I got the antiwrinkles and eye contour creams and she got the hydrating and 'young' ones... Well, having Dad's genes is lucky, as wrinkles aren't going to be a major problem. Nevertheless, better to prevent than to cry after. And since I'm very disciplined in the cleasing routines and all that, you'll look at me when I'm 60 and won't give me more than 35! You'll see!!!! Thanks Clarins, Vichy, Roc and Biotherm - if you are linked somehow to these brands, don't be shy and send me some more samples, I'll find time to use them all, don't worry!!
