When I was at the Nordstrom anniversary sale a few weeks, I was immediately approached by a Clarins rep about having a free mini facial.  When I told her what I do for a living, she started to tell me about this collaboration (which was originally a NORDSTROM exclusive), which was evident by the t-shirt she was wearing,  She was wearing a red t-shirt that said FEED and it was to bring attention to this noteworthy collaboration between FEED Projects and Clarins.

I learned that Lauren Bush, co-founder of FEED projects has partnered with Clarins to create the FEED 15 pouch. Through the partnership, this will provide school children with nutritious meals through the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).  The goal is to feed 1 million underprivileged children in two years.  What a wonderful project that we need to get behind.

So, what is the FEED 15 pouch? The Clarins FEED 15 Pouch is selling for $30 and contains three of Clarins most iconic products; Hand and Nail Treatment Cream, Moisture -Rich Body Lotion and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. The signature stencil FEED on the pouch indicates that the sale of this pouch will provide 15 nutritious meals. Yes - 15 meals with one purchase! Think about it, get healthy skin while helping to feed those that need it to get healthy too. WIN - WIN.

Pick up the FEED 15 Pouch at Nordstrom now, or at Clarins.com starting August 1st. Again, $30, three products, and 15 nutritious meals for those that need it most.
