Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...Rightio, before I start Id just like to point out that the cheapest price advertised with this product on ciao is £22. Thats actually higher that the RRP for this product and I know that is it £16 from wowwoman.com with free p&p. Be careful if you buy more than 1 item from this site thiough as any items you buy from Hong Kong over £18 come with an £8 customs charge. **************************** I got my Beauty Flash Balm, or Baume Beaute Eclair as it is also known, from wow woman after seeing it in endless magazines and such for years and years. For some reason I have always been mental about beauty products and since I was about 7 Ive been making a mental list of all the things I want. Whwn I got my first student loan a couple of years ago I embarked on a massive beauty splurge and have spent unspeakable amounts of cash on things...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Balm away your sins!

Advantages: It refreshes
Disadvantages: Rather expensive

...Although I love Dermalogica the reason why I was quite tempted to buy this product is the claim that this balm gives you in saying that it erases the signs of fatigue. I thought it would be quite clever to use it especially the morning after a late night, when my skin looks dull and tired. Clarins claims that this product does the following: - Promotes immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. WHAT IS IT? ********** This face cream is in fact a balm, it is slightly thicker in texture neverthelsess it absorbs very easily and leaves you with a refreshing sensation as if you have used a gel. This product has a creamy colour with a nice and cool smell, very...

wonder balm

Advantages: Gives skin an instantaneous radiant and healthy glow., Improves skin's texture
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...Advantages Gives skin an instantaneous radiant and healthy glow., Improves skin's texture, Make-up lasts much longer Disadvantages If used in combination with Clarins' oil-free foundation, the foundation may form fine flakes when applying over balm. As female consumers, we are frequently bombarded with advertisements relating to beauty products, professing dramatic and immediate results. It is aptly named beauty FLASH balm, as results are instantaneous. Upon application, the skin has a marked radiance. I have often found that I do not even have to apply liquid foundation, as one's skin texture is markedly improved. Fantastic for those of us who love a natural look! Its main advantages include:- Gives skin a radiant, healthy glow; Firms skin texture; Make-up lasts longer; Improves elasticity of skin and Reduces lines...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beauty FlashBalm -AMAZING!

Advantages: Does what it says on the box, easy to use, bottle lasts long
Disadvantages: addictive!expensive!

.... Remove excess with water. Follow with Toning Lotion appropriate to your skin type. The bottle contains 50 ml. This is certainly enough to last around 3 months or so if ued daily and sparingly. At first I found it difficult to apply but only because I had the inclination to massage instead of spread. Personally, I have used it before make up every day and I have found it makes foundation look far more natural as usually it can look a bit cakey and powdery on one's face. TOP TIPS -Apply foundation seconds after putting this on not letting it settle on your face first as the fopundation will seep into the balm and look better. -If you cannot after Beauty Flash Balm, something jsut as effective is to apply Nivea sun lotion on the face before akeup.It does exactly the same job and you can use your holiday's leftovers! -Don't overdo it...

Tiger Balm

Advantages: A superb balm for aches and pains
Disadvantages: its a bit smelly!!

...Tiger Balm was the brainchild of a Chinese Herbalist many years ago. The balm was originally formulated for the Chinese Emperors to use. After the herbalists death one of his sons travelled the East accompanied by a tiger (A symbol of strength and vitality in the East) selling the balm wherever he could. In the 1920`s his two sons established a company base in Singapore to manufacture the Tiger Balm and the product is widely used throughout the world nowadays. Tiger Balm is used for the relief of muscular aches and pains, I find it especially useful after a hard days gardening. The balm can be bought in two strengths, the Red Balm which is extra strong and the White Balm which is regular strength, you can also buy a Tiger Liniment oil to use for massage purposes. The balm contains camphor which has a really pungent smell, many...

Carmex Lip Balm

Advantages: heals sore lips
Disadvantages: not available in Czech rep. so I have to import

...Carmex Lip Balm I have started to use Carmex lipbalm on a friend's recommendation and I was surprised to see and feel how well it worked! I've always suffered of dried and cracky lips particularly in winter and even if I always was equipped with lip balms and spent quite some money on it as I preferred stuff like Labello, it never really had a long-term effect. Neutrogena wasn't all bad either, but I have to say Carmex was where the revolution in lip care has come. Package Carmex comes in a form of a lipstick, a little jar and a squeezable tube. The jars were introduced already back in 1937! All containers are in red+yellow and black which remind me of beeswax somehow. It gives impression of sth natural and good for your health. Carmex original was lately accompanied by strawberry and cherry version - those I didn...

Advantages: makes your skin feel soft,smooth,silky.makes your skin look glowing and really healthy.It really revitalises sluggish pastey skin.
Disadvantages: I dont think there is any.

...In my opinion im going to try to tell you every thing you need to know about this product so you can decide if you want to buy it. Ill try and cover all the points. This face cream/balm really does do so much good for your skin.

Nivea Balm

Advantages: It sooths the skin,it is good value for money
Disadvantages: None that i can think of.

...Im probably like most men and really do not like shaving at the best of times and really have an issue with finding an aftershave balm which either doesn?t sting or irritate me to the point it burns my face. I came across Nivea Balm as a Christmas present from my sister and though t I would do a review on it. The Packaging It comes in a cardboard box resembling the size of a small notepad, the bottle inside comes in a thick white glass container which has a dark blue box on the front with the Nivea motif in white inside it. The bottle itself is quite heavy but this makes it durable and can take a drop on the floor as I have done a couple of times when I have wet hands. There is a thick plastic lid on the top which is a simple pop off lid and very sturdy. On the reverse is the usual information on applying and the manufacturer...

Review of Nivea for Men Aftershave Balm

Decleor Aromesscence Essential Balm

Advantages: Helps clear skin imperfections and refreshes and brightens skin
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Decleor Aromessence Essential Balm is elegantly presented in a 30ml smoky glass jar,with a pearlised white top,and then popped into the outer golden coloured box. Decleor Aromessence Balm ingredients include: Chamomile and Neroli to help smooth the skin Tonka Bean Resin to aid circulation Beeswax to protect and soften the skin Oil of Basil to heal and purify The Balm has a base of Hazelnut and avocado oil,which is nourishing and regenerating. A firm nightime balm that needs to be warmed in the palm of your hand before application. Once the balm has been gently applied to your face it feels `weightless` and it starts to set to work on your skin. Use every night after cleaning your face and thoroughly removing all of your make up. Because the Balm is pretty expensive to say the least I was a bit nervous about dipping into...
