MY LITTLE BEAUTY

Advantages: Instantaneous results, youthful, radiant, vibrant skin
Disadvantages: The price and perhaps the packaging

...product is unsurprisingly price. A standard size for this product is 50ml and this retails on average around £22.50. However, the product is so light and easily applied that a 15ml trial size tube has lasted me about a month using it 2-3 times a week and I still have plenty left. However, I am now a total convert to this miracle beauty product so much so that I would if I had to pay full price willingly to obtain such fantastic results. There is another way to use this product and it sounds great if your skin is really in need of a boost but I haven't yet tried using it in this way yet. For a deep beauty treatment a thick layer of this product can be applied to the skin and left for 10-15 minutes like a face mask and then removed. I'm so satisfied with the results from using 2-3 times a week that I haven't felt the need to use it as...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beauty Flash Bum!

Advantages: None that I can think of
Disadvantages: Expensive and over-rated

...I was given a tube of this 'wonder cream' as a Christmas present from my in-laws just last Christmas. It sat inside my dressing table drawer until about three weeks ago, still in its original box/packaging etc, unused. I don't know why it's taken me so long to open the box and read the 'instructions leaflet' and actually use the stuff - maybe I was having a 'premonition' about it?? I have to say, Clairins Beauty Flash Balm, or, as it states in the French (also on the packaging/tube) "Baume Beaute Eclair" has been probably THE most disappointing beauty product I have used, EVER!! I've used a lot during my years, but this stuff does not live up to the hype, so don't waste your money. The tube I was given is a 50ml (1.7floz) size and I believe it costs somewhere in the region of £17.00 to £19.00 in major department stores. I...

Freederm Acne Treatment Gel

Advantages: Doesn't cause dry skin, soreness or iriitation after use
Disadvantages: Doesn't work on all kinds of spots

...At 32 I am still finding that I am getting some spots and was determined to find a good treatment that will help clear them up. Having tried lots of over the counter creams which have only made my skin very dry, red and sore I had almost given up hope of finding anything that I could use without my skin ending up more sore and irritated than before. I then saw a TV advert for Freederm and thought "it's worth a try I've tried everything else available" so off I went to my local Boots and bought some. I was quite taken aback at the price (about £9), and was a bit sceptical whether it would be worth buying as I have tried so many other products and been majorly disappointed with them. I gave it a go though and have been pleasantly surprised. The gel which is light and doesn't feel heavy on the skin when applied doesn't cause any...

Understanding A Beautiful Mind.

Advantages: An excellent award winning drama, based on a true story.
Disadvantages: None!

...My Reason For Purchasing A Beautiful Mind DVD. I wrote this review a year or so ago for another review site which has since closed. I thought I would upload it here as A Beautiful Mind is one of my favourite Drama films ever and I just wanted to recommend it and give some opinions on it. There is quite a few reviews already about it, but I just wanted to give my two cents worth also. A Beautiful mind is one of my favourite Russell Crowe Movies. I actually like this better than the movie Gladiator. Well I watched this film a few years ago at the Movie house and I enjoyed it so much, that I bought it on DVD when it first was released. I have watched it several times over the years and each time I do, I love it more and always seem to pick up on something I missed in the film the previous time I watched it. This really is...

Review of A Beautiful Mind (DVD)

Beauty in a flash...

Advantages: Instantly works on improving skin appearance
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...Wanting to further improve my skin, friends recommended me this flash balm so a friend offered me a sample of the product to try. I was eager to try it out! Clarins is a well-known and highly respected brand in the make up industry. Their ranges of products are all of an extremely high quality and value. Although their prices are on the high end of the scale, their products are well worth the money. So what is this Flash Balm? Clarins states that this Beauty Flash Balm will -Promote 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. - Make-up looks exceptionally radiant. My first thoughts on Flash Balm, is the name, which came across as a product that works quickly...

Beauty-ful

Advantages: Gives you a healthy glow
Disadvantages: Price - can cost up to around £21 for 50ml

...A friend of mine had been ranting on about how she wanted to try this product. I had seen it on a daytime TV programme as a 'wonder-cure' to make you look like you've had 8 hours sleep. On a shopping trip, there was an offer where you buy 2 Clarin's products and get some other trial-sized goods for free (many many department stores so this). So we bought one each and split the freebies. I had hoped that it would be wonderful and transform my face? however it did not go that far. It did give me a healthy glow when I wore it under my make-up and my make-up did last longer. So it lives up to that claim. The instructions say to use a thin layer under make up 2 - 3 times a weeks and you can also wear it as a beauty mask for 10 - 15mins once a week. Personally, instead of wacking on a layer in the mornings, I have mixed a small...

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

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

...or any part of your face that is sensitive and see how it goes. You could do this a few times at different times in the month to see how your skin is reacting. BFB comes in a white tube with the print in red. Amongst all the other beauty products on the Clarins counter the BFB can be difficult to spot so don't be afriad to ask for what you want. Sometimes BFB comes in a box and sometimes it doesnt. Some branches of Sainsbury's have begin to sell items from Clarins and Clinique so have a look in your local store. ***************************************************** Beauty Flash Balm is a quick 'pick me up' that restores a radiant, firm and youthful appearance to the face and acts as a revitalizing treatment. The product itself is a peachy coloured thick cream that smells a little like talcum powder and rose. I didnt like the smell...

Worst Acne Treatment ever

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...severe than this treatment can deal with, but my experience is that it has made it worse. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone and have never felt so strongly about something to the point where I have written a review!! Good luck, you'll need it.......

Review of Freederm Acne Treatment

Treatment for teenage skin

Advantages: Cleanses
Disadvantages: Pricey and dehydrates out your skin

...Clearasil Ultra Deep Pore Treatment Pads are designed to "fight spots and reduce redness to give you visibly clearer skin in just 3 days". The product is clearly marketed at teenagers with problem skin - the adverts on TV for Clearasil products usually feature a teenager getting ready for a party, realising that they have a spot, getting despondent that the spot will ruin the party, being advised to use Clearasil and applying it. By the end of the advert the viewer sees the spot fearing teenager at the party surrounded by attractive people of the opposite sex - which we know would not have happened it they still had that awful spot! I usually lack sympathy for the teenagers featured in these adverts - they're teenagers and therefore are meant to have spots. However, it's a different story when you reach the grand old age of 26...
