    4 Stars From monster to model in a flash? 14/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Immediate radiance of skin, great with foundation

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost

    Background: Since childhood I have always had very sensitive skin - to the extent that even now I still can't wear pure wool directly against it or I'll quickly come out in a ghastly red rash which itches like hell. It really is a pain as it does mean I have to be incredibly careful about what make-up or perfumes I use just in case they make my skin react badly. Sometimes a product which is fragrance free and marketed as "for sensitive skins" will have a bad effect, while another which is perfumed might turn out absolutely fine. As a result I tend to stick to body and face products which I've ... more

    5 Stars MY LITTLE BEAUTY 24/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Instantaneous results, youthful, radiant, vibrant skin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price and perhaps the packaging

    Until very recently I'd never tried a single Clarin's product and until even more recently I didn't believe that beauty products really could work miracles. So what has caused the cynic in me to disappear? My in laws gave me a birthday present that is a pretty little pink box containing a number of Clarin's trial size products. It was in this little box that my miracle beauty product lurked, untried and untested by myself until about two weeks ago, largely because I hadn't bothered to read the leaflet and wasn't quite sure what it was for. I am, of course, talking about Clarin's "Baume Beaute ... more

    Advantages Advantages Achieves a healthy glow.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a significant healthy glow.

    I drink a lot of coffee, which keeps me awake etc thus: takes it's toll on my skin, I feel it looks a little pasty and dehydrated. I read about Clarins beauty flash beauty balm: on here (ciao) actually. It sounded really effective, and the kind of product I was looking for: something that makes your skin look healthy and youthful. Therefore, I located the nearest clarins retailer and bought myself some. - The premise of the beauty flash balm, is that it brightens and tightens your skin, erasing the signs of fatigue and stress. It's intent is to be a 'pick me up' for the skin. Instantly ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages smells nice,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesnt work

    My Sister recently gave me a tube of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm as she had a couple of them given to her by her Mother-In-Law, and she felt that it would be nice to give me one of them. I do like to use products on my skin and I like to try new things now and then, so I was happy to accept it. I have sensitive skin, and I do have to be careful what products I use. I have never had the chance to use Clarins products before, as they are usually some what out of my price range. The first thing I did with this beauty balm is open it up and take a sniff, I like to know the way my products smell and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Does what it says on the tin!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not an overly pleasant fragrance, screw on top

    Wandering around Boots one day, passing time before I was due to meet a friend for lunch, I ambled past the Clarins stand and, as something caught my eye, found myself turning back for a better look. The something that caught my eye was Beauty Flash Balm promotion stand, triggering a vague memory of having read a rave review of it in a magazine several weeks before. I decided to treat myself, as my pale skin is the bane of my life and I'm always looking for ways to make it look fresher and more alive. It cost me about £22 a couple of years ago (but at the time was on a promotion so I got a ... more
