Give the Gift that Gives Back: Clinique Happy Heart Fragrance, Body Wash and Cream Ideal to Celebrate Valentine's Day! Plus, Clinique commits to education and making children happy with this Fragrance! $10 from every bottle purchased goes directly to helping rebuild schools with the limited edition Happy Heart fragrance
It's time to be HAPPY. Valentine's Day is almost here, and we've got a great gift-giving idea for our readers who left it until the last minute, or if you find yourself wanting to be festive on February 14th yourself, we feel you deserve this amazing collection, especially because with the limited edition fragrance, $10 of every purchase goes directly to help rebuilding schools through the Happy Hearts Fund (Petra Nemcova's charity-see more below). We've written on the original fragrance for years, and this incarnation with a heart will bring cheer, a
wealth of flowers, a hint of warmth (especially appreciated in chilly February!), and a deepening of emotions. With a heart of water hyacinth, brightened with Mandarin and blond woods.
The best way to keep any fragrance going is to start with the body wash. We suggest putting this by your pillow tonight so you will be especially excited to get up tomorrow and bound into the shower! This is a
refreshing bath and shower gel that foams luxuriously, and bathes you in the Clinique Happy Heart scent.
And we know it is uber-nippy, chilly and generally not-nice-to-our-skin weather still, and moisturizing is key. This step incorporates the signature l
uxuriously rich cream that instantly softens, smoothes and hydrates. This leaves skin feeling comfortable and pampered - scented with the rich floral bouquet of Clinique Happy Heart. A wealth of flowers. A hint of warmth. Wear it and have a happy heart. And then spray on the fragrance! Happy! Happy! Happy! We love it, and she will too. Be Happy with Clinique and Peachy and wear your heart on your sleeve, and specifically, inside your pulse point!
Clinique, a leader in global beauty, is on a mission to spread smiles across the globe, by reinforcing its long-standing commitment to children and education. The brand is happy to announce a multi-year partnership with Happy Hearts Fund, an international charity founded and led by Petra Nemcova, helping to build and rebuild schools in areas affected by natural disasters.
"Education is the single greatest opportunity one can give to a child. It is the passport to brighter possibilities, transforming individuals, families and communities along the way. With Happy Hearts, it is our mission to put a smile on the face of every child we touch. Petra's passion and commitment to this cause have been an inspiration to everyone at Clinique, and we feel that together we can accomplish great things." Lynne Greene, Global Brand President, Clinique, Origins and Ojon.
Clinique chose to partner with Happy Hearts Fund to reinforce the brand’s long-term commitment to children and education. Happy Hearts Fund is active in six countries and has built or rebuilt over 70 schools and kindergartens. Since its inception, the Fund’s programs have benefited more than 41,000 children and 340,000 community members. Through this partnership, Clinique and the Fund will develop educational institutions for children globally.
Petra Nemcova, Founder and Chair of Happy Hearts Fund, echoes Clinique’s emphasis on education and sentiments about the partnership, saying, “I am very excited about this partnership as we share so many of the same philosophies with Clinique and I know that together we can give more children access to education, the most important and empowering tool for their futures. Together we will create many Happy Hearts.”
Nemcova launched Happy Hearts Fund in 2006 to bring hope to the lives of children affected by natural disasters. As a survivor of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Thailand, Nemcova witnessed the devastation of communities, families, and children. By focusing on rebuilding and building schools in areas affected by natural disasters, the fund helps provide a safe haven for children, and a sense of normalcy.
On December 1, 2012, the brand will introduce a limited edition Happy Heart 30ml fragrance for $37 (SRP). The scent itself is bright and floral with hints of sweetness from mandarin orange and cassis mingled with soft floral notes of water lily, rose, and geranium. Dry notes of sandalwood, musk, and blondewood create a harmonious balance, meant to linger and enrich the heart. $10 from the sale of each fragrance will go directly to Happy Hearts Fund. Clinique has also created a limited edition T-shirt for $16 (SRP), with the message “Make Someone Happy,” a mantra the brand hopes will inspire everyone to consider the act of giving and sharing during the holiday season. $5 from the sale of T-shirt will go to Happy Hearts Fund. Both products will be sold in the US and Canada, exclusively.
