The evening spotlighted two of the beauty brand's global bestsellers, Double Serum and Total Eye Lift, celebrated for delivering visible, high-performance results through the synergy of natural botanicals and advanced innovation.
Double Serum — Clarins' most advanced anti-aging innovation, featuring a dual-phase formula inspired by the skin's biological duality. This potent blend of 22 plant extracts plus 5 active molecules, and cutting-edge science helps smooth, firm, and boost radiance for a visibly revitalized complexion.
Total Eye Lift — A naturally powered, all-in-one eye treatment that visibly lifts, smooths, and brightens in just 30 seconds. Formulated with a retinol-like technology combining botanical actives with the latest advancements in biotechnology for instant, high-performance results.
Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour bathed in golden light inspired by Double Serum's signature hue. Attendees were treated to French Bloom, a brand that recently made history as the first official non-alcoholic sparkling wine of Formula 1®, following a landmark ten-year global partnership. Signature beverages included creations from Swig, Utah's viral soda shop. Guests also took exclusive boat rides along Lady Bird Lake—a glamorous, James Bond–inspired escape surrounded by the famous bat bridge. The atmosphere fused Parisian sophistication with Austin's modern edge, creating an unforgettable experience.
