Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

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

...I really shouldnt have. Most of these are beauty products. The upside of my appauling waste of money on things I didnt need is that Ive discovered some amazing ways to save money on the cream of beauty products (that I might share one day!), also, I know pretty much everything there isto know about hair and beauty. *********************************** Clarins are known for their good quality products...and their high prices. If you visit a Clarins counter and let one of their usually snooty assistants talk to you about products you might be lucky enough to walk off with some free samples to try. Alot of the time though if they dont like the look fo you for whatever reason theyll fob you off and say 'oh we dont give samples' Theyll only say this if they think youre inexperienced in the upmarket beauty trade so be assertive and never...

clarins beauty flash balm

Advantages: the way it gives your skin a de-stressed fresh look
Disadvantages: none

...clarins beauty flash balm This product maybe a little more expensive than a range like johnsons and johnsons but it is well worth the money.

A Whiff of Clarins!

Advantages: Some might like the clarins smell, the smell lasts (can be good or bad), softens skin
Disadvantages: Not great for really dry skin, smell can be overpowering, expensive

...I love Clarins products and have finally started to get round to reviewing some of the many products in their range that I have used. The first is the Clarins Eau Ressourcante Moisturising Body Lotion. The lotion comes from their ?blue? fragrance range which is Eau Ressourcante. The lotion is designed to hydrate, refresh and soften skin. It contains essential oils and also plant extracts including Sarsaparilla and Hibiscus which relax and moisturise, Robinia which soothes and softens and Longan which stimulates. It comes in a semi-opaque white plastic bottle with turquoise writing on the bottle. It has a screw top cap with a covered top which has a small opening. The small opening is good as you can just squeeze a small amount of the lotion out rather than pour too much out at one time. The bottle holds 250ml and costs £24...

Clarins - For Soft Smooth Hands

Advantages: Leaves hands wonderfully soft
Disadvantages: The Cost

...I love my Clarins products apart from the products themselves I like the offers they have on regularly throughout the year where if you buy two products you get some trial sizes free. This is a great opportunity to try some of the other Clarins products without splashing out your cash. One product I got a trial size of was the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream. The tube I have is only 30ml but the actual size in the shop for sale is 100ml, prices vary depending where you buy but it is £14.50 at www.pharmacy2u.co.uk. This is as it says a hand and nail cream, which claims to have the following benefits:- - Protecting hands from chapping and irritation and gives an even appearance - Moisturises and gives smooth supple hands - Strengthens nails - Minimises current age spots and prevents the appearance of new spots. So...

A glowing performance from Clarins True Radiance Foundation

Advantages: natural coverage, radiant finish
Disadvantages: none really, maybe price?

...I' ve tried loads of foundations in the past, ranging from lower end brands up to the real 'luxury' brands, and I've never found one that's been good enough to stick with - until now. In my opinion, Clarins True Radiance foundation is the best out there for giving a natural 'no makeup' finish, if you're after a more made up look or a very full coverage it's probably not right for you. When I wear this foundation people always comment on how well I look - it gives you a sort of glowey, 'I've had 9 hours sleep' complexion. Apparently, this is due to the reflective gold pigments (don't worry, there is no visible gold or shimmer effect). It is a relatively runny fluid that is dispensed from a glass bottle using a pump, which means that there's very little mess and you never end up squirting too much out as you sometimes do with a tube, so...

CLARINS EAU DYNAMISANTE.

Advantages: Extremly beneficial plant extract oils.
Disadvantages: Not a particularly femine fragrance.

...~ CLARINS EAU DYNAMISANTE ~ Clarins Eau Dynamisante is a rather unique Eau de Toilette. I tend to go for the much lighter perfume normally, but this was a gift, and you know what they say...Don't look a gift horse...ahem... Eau Dynamisante is presented in a clear, deep, ruby red bottle, rather masculine in appearance, but expensive looking and sturdy. To the top you have a white lid with the word Clarins raised in gold, and gold banded to the bottom of the lid. The contents is 100 ml/3.4 FL.OZ. 77%VOL. Now this is rather an unusual fragrance, being both a perfume, and a skin treatment. It contains plant extracts to soften, energise, and hydrate the skin. It also firms, tones, and revitalises. This is quite an innovative range, and all the essential oils contained within this fragrance...

Clarins Hydra Quench

Advantages: Smells Gorgeous
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Introduction If you have dry skin it can become a bit of a nightmare which can ultimately affect things like not being able to wear make-up due to skin flakiness, often accompanied by the uncomfortable exposed raw feeling of the face. Not pretty and I should know I have searched long and hard for a product that would make my face feel softer and less dry with the added bonus of making it look healthier. I found Clarins hydra quench cream and to be honest now wear this product daily. The Product Clarins Hydra-Quench is a Rich Cream which has been developed with very dry skin in mind. And for those who are exposed to the conditions of living in cold climates. The manufacturer claims that this is an ultra-moisturising skin care product, with a fine penetrating texture that satisfies all of the needs of those people who have dry...

Clarins One Step Cleanser.. no thank you!

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel really oily..

...I bought this Clarins 'One Step Facial Cleaner' when I was in Duty Free, I needed a new cleanser so I thought I would give this one a go since I have never tried it before. This particular cleaner is meant to cleanse and tone in one easy step, which I thought was good since it would cut some time out of cleansing and toning separately. The cleanser comes with orange extract and is meant to 'renew radiance'. The bottle is quite a simple design. It is made of see-through clouded white plastic with a red 'Clarins' logo at the stop of the bottle. It then has the name of the cleanser in French and then underneath that 'One Step Facial Cleanser With Orange Extracts'. The bottle has a white plastic lid which twists off and the cleanser comes of a spout at the top of the bottle. Since the cleanser comes out of a tiny hole at the top...

Review of Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser

Clarins Body Scrub - Sheer Luxury

Advantages: Gives a good level of exfoliation
Disadvantages: Price, very expensive

...Knowing that I was planning on writing my review for this product today I thought I would use this again last night just to make sure I was sure what I wanted to write about it. I bought this from a local independent shop that sells high quality products from ranges like Clarins, Gatineau, Lancome etc at a fraction of the usual price. Usually this scrub costs about £19 for 200ml which is very expensive. I think I paid about £5-£7 for my tube but it is only 75ml in size. The tube which comes in the classic white and red Clarins packaging is a good size and the product is easy to dispense. The cream is quite thick and has a pleasant smell when dispensed, it is a peachy colour. I find the best way to apply it is to squeeze a small amount onto my hand and then apply using a circular motion. It is quite grainy and does give a good level...

Review of Clarins Exfoliating Body Scrub

clarins cleanser

Advantages: fresh feeling
Disadvantages: nothing special

...This was part of a gift set with a clarins soap and a face cream all with the same packaging. I had never used clarins facial stuff before, I only use their lipliners which are fabulous. Clarins claim on their magazine adverts that this is like a soap and water experience. And it is. Its very lightly perfumed and gives you the sensation of applying s soapy lather. Now I have very sensitive skin and I usually have to pay a lot for my facial creams. For cleansers I usually use' simple' products because they are so delicate. Although they dry out my skin. With Clarins it was the forst time that Ive found a cleanser which doesnt give me any spots and doesnt majorly dry out my skin. It slightly dries my skin but I have very dry skin anyway. I think if you have normal or oily skin this would be ideal. In terms of price it is overpriced...
