What are you playing at Clarins?!

I got the Clarins coffret for Xmas and I used up the handcream as I really liked it.  I decided to buy it again because it lasted ages and was pretty good.

Well, check out this brand new bottle of their handcream:

That's a 100 ml bottle..with 50ml of handcream in there..

I haven't been back to the counter to return it because I've misplaced the receipt but even still, that is ridiculous.

I haven't used ANY of it and it's nearly half empty? I know that when you buy cream products like this that they aren't full right to the top but nigh on half full is taking the biscuit!

I don't know if this is just how much Clarins fill their bottles..if it is then I'm sure you're not allowed to say it's a certain measurement when you're clearly selling a great deal less than that amount.  If it's a mistake/bad bunch then that's also just as bad because you'd think that a high end brand like Clarins would have a decent quality control set up going on.

  5. I'm trying my best to find that damn receipt but it doesn't look good because I just smushed it into my purse along with other receipts. I did go to have a moan but the girl behind the counter clearly didn't give a shit because there were other customers there who wanted to spend money. The blue eyeshadow situation is ridiculous! Did her co-workers not tell her to take it off or anything?

  10. Write a letter to Clarins and explain the situation. Did u pay for it with your credit/debit card? if so print out that statement and highlight when the purchase was made. Very often companies accept card statements as proof of purchase. This is a horrible situation. The Clarins counter people are ALWAYS older and INNAPROPRIATELY AND CHILDISHLY made up. Urggh

  11. I had that with my Clinique daycream.
    What you get is a huge green jar... When you open the jar you see that there is just a tiny hole with cream in it. I don't know how quickly one is supposed to finish a pot of skin cream, but I paid 55 euros and it only lasted for about 3 months.
