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...

Review of Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

Wake Up Cream

Advantages: The smell is gorgeous, leaves skin feeling wonderful
Disadvantages: The cost, cant see how much is left in the bottle

...What it is This is an energizing morning cream (facial moisturiser) made by Clarins. It claims to give you instant radiance, "a true beauty booster" and "the perfect moisturiser for dull, tired, lacklustre skin. The Bottle The plastic bottle has a special "airless design" to protect the ingredients from air and light. The bottle has a screw top lid which then reveals a smooth surface with a small circle in the centre. You press the top of the bottle and a small amount of cream is released around the centre circle. On the first time you use the cream you have to press several times but after this you only require a small press. Although this is a great way to protect the cream from going off or getting dirty or contaminated from dust, dirt etc. it does mean if you dispense too much you cant put it back in the bottle. Having...

Review of Clarins Energizing Morning Cream

Clarins Soft Cream Eye Colour contains vitamins C and E

Advantages: Contains vitamins, nice finish
Disadvantages: Not easy to blend

...This is like a little artists oil paint tube which I think is really cute, it brightens up my make up bag. The tiniest tiniest bit of this product goes a long way and it took me a couple of messy times to figure this out, be warned sqeeze the tube verrrry gently! I bought this 7 months ago and after daily use it seems to have a good year left in it! The cream contains vitamins C and E to protect and condition your skin. The cream is thick but buttery, it glides on but quickly dries so you dont have much time to blend with it, the finish is shimmery and light reflective so it really opens up your eyes. Overall Im not too keen on this because of the way it dries up, sometimes i feel as though it has dried my skin as well, it can also feel abrasive when applying against my sensitive skin. The cream also goes cakey if you try to mess around...

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...

Review of Clarins Moisture Quenching Hydra-Care Cream

Not as good as the Day Cream

Advantages: Nice smell, helps with dehydrated skin
Disadvantages: Expensive, doesn't do much

...'ll help later in life (hopefully!). However, I have not noticed at short-term results-my skin feels the same upon waking up. I wanted it to feel softer in the mornings, but nothing was different after a few weeks of using it! I would prefer it to be of a much thicker consistency than it is, because it's practically the same as the Day Cream, which I think is a bit of a con. I will carry on using it until it runs out (which should be about 6 months), but I'll be trying something else out afterwards! It costs £30 for 50ml from all Clarins counters....

Review of Clarins Gentle Night Cream

Clarins Extra Firming Neck Cream

Advantages: Moisturising, feelgood, luxurious
Disadvantages: Too expensive, not firming

...This cream is so-so. It is a very good mosituriser for the neck but it is not a miracle cream - certainly did not notice any diminishing of necklace lines or any firming action. It is expensive for what it is - I get it from Boots at £37 at time of writing. I am sure you can get it cheaper, perhaps on ebay and other websites but I like to get Advantage Points, especially at Triple points time.The 50ml pot does not go far if you are spreading it over neck and decolletage on a nightly basis.I really like the delicate smell and the very smooth texture. It is good as a treat but unless you are Posh Spice with unlimited funds I think you should give it a miss as you will go through a pot a month. Jar is luxuriously heavy and upscale....

Review of Clarins Extra-Firming Neck Cream

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 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 Night Lotion - makes you feel special!

Advantages: Makes your skin soft, a nice treat
Disadvantages: Quite expensive!

...I really like this night cream from Clarins. I was lucky enough to get this as a present (because I know it is very expensive at a crazy £39 for 50ml from Boots) I find it quite nice to have a different moisturising cream to put on at night than I use in the day. Quite a lot of high street department stores such as Boots, Debenhams and John Lewis stock this, so it is quite readily available. It is also easy to find it on the internet. It is meant to be applied in the evening on cleansed skin just before you go to bed. The cream itself is quite runny, almost like a white runny gel. It is really easy to apply and does not irritate or make my skin tingle. It also absorbs in to the skin quite quickly. It makes the skin seem really soft and it is meant to make your skin seem firmer when you wake up. It is also meant to boost...

Advantages: the way it gives your skin a de-stressed fresh look
