A social media user impressed skincare fans after showcasing the free treatment she received
A shopper has wowed social media users after she shared a video praising the free facial she received at a beauty counter. The shopper’s video showcasing her skincare treatment seriously impressed viewers, as many had not heard of the free service before.
The recommendation was shared by TikTok user Rachel Marshall, who posts online as @rachellmarshalll. According to her videos, the blogger books a monthly free facial at Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre.
In a recent video, she enjoyed a “pamper” session at a Clinique beauty counter and loved her experience. Rachel told viewers: “I’ve just arrived at Meadowhall for another free facial.
“This time we’re at Clinique. We are at their flagship counter in Boots, and I’m being hosted by the wonderful Julia and Lori.” She continued: “I was blown away with my experience today. When beauty feels more high tech than a chuffin iPhone you know you’re at Clinique.”
Narrating her video, she said: “Firstly this machine analysed my face, which then brought up specific product recommendations that aligned with my skincare goals that I had talked through with Lori.
“They also had this fancy foundation tester, and then my face got vacuumed. This machine was like a little magic Henry Hoover for your face. Oh my goodness, how satisfying watching that tube fill up with absolute filth.
Then it was “time for a proper pamper,” according to Rachel, who tested Clinique’s skincare products. While there’s no obligation to buy, she did make a purchase.
“This is the first time I’ve ever tried any of Clinique’s skincare, and I was really impressed. I know that it’s gonna sit really well on my skin cause it’s fragrance free, and I’ve got quite sensitive skin, so I did buy a product, and Lori gave me some goodies very kindly,” the shopper shared.
“I’ll do another video talking through everything that I got, just bear with me a minute because I’m being transported to heaven with these tools that Lori is using on my face. It was so refreshing and so relaxing. The glow after this facial was insane.”
In the comment section of the video, Rachel explained she tried Clinique’s Quick Clarifying Facial, which is available at select counters and booked via the brand’s website.
As per Clinique’s website, the free 45-minute service offers a “gentle treatment that cleanses and exfoliates removing dead skin cells, dirt, oil and debris.”
Other services include a free 20-minute makeup consultation, a free 20-minute skin consultation, and a series of appointments with a clinical skin coach.
Rachel’s video amazed viewers who didn’t know about the service. Responding to the post, which racked up 20,000 views, someone replied: “How do you book all these facials?! I’m DESPERATE to try!!”
Another viewer said: “Neeeeeed pampering to be fair, can’t remember the last time I had any kind of treatment beyond a haircut!” A third response added: “Booking yet another one! Woohoo! Keep this up love all these new freebies I’m having.”
