Clarins Miracle Cure - Eye Contour Gel

Advantages: Visible results, reduces dark areas around the eyes, soothes tired eyelids, absorbed quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy and difficult to apply

...I am a big fan of Clarins products but find them far too expensive to buy them as often as I would like, they tend to be essential items or bought as treats after a busy month at work. After a hectic time at work where I was working 12 hour days my eyes resembled something from a horror film, they were red, puffy and had deep dark bags underneath making me look something similar to my 70 year old grandma and I knew it was time to try something and Clarins Eye Contour Gel came to my rescue, but it came at a price. £15.99 for a small tube of the gel. When you first use the gel you notice the lack of fragrance and the fact that it seems to slip straight off your fingers it is that watery! Only a small amount is needed and once you have it on your fingertip you need to quickly rub it into the area below your eyes and then onto your...

Clarins After Sun Moisturiser

Advantages: smell, moisturising effect, deep tan, enhanced rich golden colour
Disadvantages: £££££

...Spending a fortune on a holiday only for your tan to fade within a few weeks? I have found a product that will both enhance and retain your golden tan for weeks longer than normal, and the cost is actually quite minimal considering the multitude of benefits it offers the mind and body. I say mind as I feel really good every time I look in the mirror and see my radiant face looking back even though it is over 6 weeks since I returned from my holiday and anything that makes me smile is a good thing. Clarins After Sun Moisturiser with Self Tanning Action comes in a 150ml tube, costing between £9 - £16 depending on where you buy it from. It can be found behind the counter of most larger Boots stores or the Clarins perfume stands of most major department stores. As an aftersun lotion it is pretty expensive but I have found that each area I...

Review of Clarins After Sun Moisturiser with Self Tanning Action

clarins radiance-plus self tanning cream-gel

Advantages: gives a nice glow if applied correctly, and no problem for sensitive skin
Disadvantages: lid doesnt stay on, can look patchy if skin is dry

...I have been using clarins radiance plus self tanning moisturising gel for a while now, this is because its the only self tan i have ever used that is good for sensitive skin. I wouldnt say it was very moisturising. I tend to still use my usual moisturiser on top of this product, as my skin goes quite dry if i use clarins radiance plus on its own. It does give a nice colour,as long as your skin is well moisturised and exfoliated before hand, otherwise it can make your skin look quite patchy and uneven. I have tried other moisturising self tan creams, and they are either no good for sensitive skin, makes your skin look too dark, or appear to give no colour at all, clarins radiance plus is the best where these are concerned as long as again its applied again, correctly, and you dont need much. The price from Boots was £21.50, the last time...

Review of Clarins Thirst Quenching Hydra-Care Mask

Soooo sooothing!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Really soothes hot skin
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...and nourishing effects it has. I have to admit I would use and after sun cream after 10 minutes or so but simply because the skin can be so thirsty and dry after so many hours under the sun that a gel is just not enough and your dermis needs so much TLC. In this way not only you will be doing good to yourself, but a skin that is well looked after tans well and does not peel as easily as a skin without protection or nourishments. Have to admit though that if you have burned your skin you might still end up peeling as the damage has already been done, but what this product does is to make things better and soothe the area. This product is by Clarins and as you may well imagine it does not come cheap. I am not saying that if you do not buy this your tan will not be good with an ordinary product, but if you want a little luxury you might be able...

Review of Clarins After Sun Ultra Soothing Gel

Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel for lovely smooth legs :)

Advantages: Leaves your legs lovely and smooth and has a delicious smell
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Throughout the years I've been shaving, I must've tried about 50 different shaving products at least! Having only been employed a year and before that I was a student, I was on a small budget for a long time of this 'research'! Finding cheap shaving products is practically non-existent, and if on a rare occasion you do come across a bargain, chances are the razors you've brought are blunt or only last one use, or the shaving gel you've purchased doesn't protect your delicate skin from the wrath of the aforementioned blunt razor! I knew Gilette was a good name having seen the brand around supermarkets and drug stores for a while and seeing TV adverts but the products always seemed expensive. When I spied this shaving gel on sale for £1 in Tesco's, I leapt at the chance to try it out for this bargain price. I used it straightaway when I...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

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

Gel Contour des Yeux

Advantages: Cooling sensation
Disadvantages: Expensive, some of the promises are overrated

...I first purchased this eye gel in 2000, after a long-haul flight from Sydney to London. I wasnt interested in a "wrinkle defence" or "anti-wrinkle" eye cream, and I didnt want anything too greasy or heavy as I suffer from combination oily/excema prone skin. I was looking for something cooling, soothing and moisturising, which might help with the dark smudges. The Clarins Eye Contour Gel was suggested by a counter person. Since then I have tried many Clarins products, but this is one of only 2 I have bought twice. I first purchased this with a moisturiser and received a slew of free samples, and a hand mirror. The second time i received it in a gift pack for christmas. As such, I dont know how much the tube retails for. The gel comes packaged in a 20ml tube with a screw on cap. The cap is transparent with a opaque white inner...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

Sun care. Don't bother.

Advantages: I finally lost it somewhere in my room
Disadvantages: I actually paid for it

...As you may have guessed from my advantages, disadvantages and title I did not like this product. First things first - whats in it? Well, as I lost mine I've had to cheat a bit and take stuff from the website (sorry!): "NIVEA Lip Care Sun provides your lips with long-lasting protection against the sun rays and prevents them from moisture loss. The caring NIVEA Lip Care Sun formula with SPF 25, nourishing Shea butter and protective Vitamin E: - Intensive UV-protection - Helps prevent skin damage and drying out of the lips caused by the sun - Provides rich care and protection NIVEA Lip Care Sun: - Is waterproof NEW!
