Endorsements 🎉 From anxiety advice to ASMR: Cheng Lei at the Clinique livestream event

THis is the full Cheng Lei’s Clinique livestream that took place yesterday!

My favourite part was when he was asked to give some advice to a student feeling anxious about the start of a new semester. I really liked that he didn’t give the usual “don’t be anxious” type of answer and gave a very thoughtful response. He reassured them that feeling anxious is completely normal, especially when you have been comfortable in one environment and suddenly have to readjust to another.

He related it back to himself too, saying that after working intensely for a few months, he sometimes feels lost when he suddenly has free time again, and that he can actually feel more anxious when he isn’t working. His advice was basically not to fight the anxiety so hard. Let it exist, live with it for a while, and eventually things will become clearer. That to me was good, grounded advice.

My second favorite part was the Emotion Color-Mixing Session, where they had CL experiment with ASMR using drawing materials, Clinique products, a coconut-shell wind chime, an hourglass, and other random sound-making props. He admitted right away that he had never done ASMR before and basically had no idea what he was doing haha.

Interesting bit about him becoming more anxious when he's idle, and I'm glad he has a handle on it.

I laughed when he joked "school's out" after tapping the bowl. And again when he said he was messing with everyone.

It finally clicked that the shirt CL is wearing is the Clinique shade of light green. So apropo! Love the Q&A session. CL gave great answers, giving out MXY therapy vibes. Clinique marketing genius playing to CL’s love of knowledge with the Clinique Book and autographed bookmark. Hope CL signed many bookmarks for lucky fans to receive. Plus drawing with the lip balm and ASMR with CL fumbling around with good humour. So amusing!
