Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum - Wow, it actually works!!!

Advantages: Really does work, softens and tones skin.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum is probably one of No 7's most famous products. It shot to fame in 2007 after the BBC's Horizon investigated the claims made by anti-ageing products such as this. The show studied various creams and serums, amazingly they found that No 7's beauty serum actually works! It reduces the signs of aging caused by sun damage! This revelation ended up with a 2000% increase in sales and an average of 13 bottles being sold every minute! It took weeks for Boots to manage to keep up with the demand for this miracle product. It is still an extremely popular product today and they regularly seem to run out at my local Boots. I started using the serum around 3 years ago, I have never bought a bottle but I have never run out. No, I don't have a very generous other half, I am addicted to No 7's goody bags. I...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Protect and perfect

Advantages: Very moisturising
Disadvantages: Not for oily skin

...No 7 protect and perfect I was on a bit of a cosmetic buying spree the other week, and spurred on by the promise of extra advantage points, I found myself at the Boots No 7 counter. I bought along with a few other items because I was clutching an extra points voucher, a £5 discount voucher and was additionally enticed by the 3 for 2 offer. For a bargain hunter like me, with the ethos "points make prizes", this was retail heaven! **What does this promise to do?** Once again, I am confounded and astounded by the claims, but this one promises " younger looking skin in just 4 weeks". The unique ingredients will smooth lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, and liven up your complexion. I can never understand how they can promise this, but am still a sucker for advertising every time. **How does it do this...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

  Protect and Perfect

Advantages: It works, fairly inexpensive
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I first stumbled across this little miracle cream completely by accident. Approximately six months ago, I bought some Boots No 7 cosmetics, mascara and an eye pencil, if I remember correctly. There was some sort of ?special offer? on at the time, which I wasn?t aware of ? spend £15.00 or more on Boots No 7 cosmetics and you get a free ?gift pack?, consisting of a few different No 7 products, including, nail varnish, moisturising day cream, an eye-brow pencil a make up bag, and Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum. I took my little booty bag home and over the following few weeks, proceeded to work my way through my bag of freebies. Most of the stuff was fairly run-of-the mill, but when I cam to use my Protect and Perfect Serum, it was another matter. My freebie consisted of an extremely small (5ml) tube of Protect and Perfect Serum...

Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Advantages: Silky smooth skin immediately
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

...Last Christmas I decided to change my skincare range as i was not satisfied with it. I bought Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum along with there Day and Night creams. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a beautiful makeup bag filled with sample products from the No 7 range. It is wonderful to be rewarded for buying a product. The Serum itself is light and refreshing. You can feel the difference immediately, your skin feels silky smooth. It absorbs easily into the skin and is not at all oily. After a week of using it I could see a marked improvement. It really does what it says it will do. I find that is very reasonably priced. There always seems to be a special offer on the No7 range too which is a bonus....

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Advantages: it feels really soothing and boosts confidence
Disadvantages: I really cant think of any

...I first dicovered Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty serum just before christmas. It was my birthday and I had a little money to treat myself. I have never found really good makeup for my skin as it can get very oily in places but also cracks and sore in other places. A friend reccommended the No 7 range to me, so i bought foundation and moisturiser. There was an offer at the time which meant I got a lovely little makeup bag with lots of small samples such as nail varnish, mascara, eyeshaddow and of course the beauty serum. Over the next few days I pampered my self with the variouse different freebies. After cleansing I used the serum and couldnt believe how well it absorbed into my skin, other moisturisers and potions seem to be thick and feel tacky on the skin, but not this. I thought it was too good to be true and believed...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

MY LITTLE BEAUTY

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

...Until very recently I'd never tried a single Clarin's product and until even more recently I didn't believe that beauty products really could work miracles. So what has caused the cynic in me to disappear? My in laws gave me a birthday present that is a pretty little pink box containing a number of Clarin's trial size products. It was in this little box that my miracle beauty product lurked, untried and untested by myself until about two weeks ago, largely because I hadn't bothered to read the leaflet and wasn't quite sure what it was for. I am, of course, talking about Clarin's "Baume Beaute Éclair" or more commonly known as "Beauty-Flash Balm" (BFB). Then a couple of weeks ago I was at a two day work conference and the overnight stay resulted in some pretty serious drinking with some pretty stunning hangovers and an almighty...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

It wasn't so perfect for me

Advantages: packaging's OK
Disadvantages: Expensive, brought my skin out in lumps

...In 2007 the BBC's horizon programme showed that Boots No.7's Protect and Perfect Serum was proved to reduce wrinkles following an independent study. Following this programme sales of the serum increased by over 2000%. I didn't actually watch the show, but as I shop in Boots a lot I twigged that there was something going on. Whenever I was near the No.7 counter, I would see countless women coming up asking assistants when the product would be back on sale, this was quickly followed by signs being put up all around the store announcing that it had sold out, but would be back in stock soon. I looked on eBay and found that the cream which normally retails at £16.75 was going for over £80. I didn't fall for the hype, and my mam, who saw the original show, said the person who had done the original study had gone on another TV show and said...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Nearly perfect so just give me some protection

Advantages: Silky skin, good value
Disadvantages: Does it really work? Hard to tell

...To review this product it is important to delve into the hype that surrounded it on its release as essentially the 'hype' is good advertising and as a consumer the hype is what pulls you into the purchase. However unlike most products the hype around No 7 Protect and Perfect serum has lasted, winning Style Magazine 2009 Best Anti-Aging Product. So what was the hype? Well at the time of the products release it was being hailed as a miracle cream, selling out faster than Ipods at Christmas and generally being held in very favourable acclaim. Independent tests began to show that this product actually worked! Cue a big two fingers to the celebrities spending thousands on creams made from the underside of starfish and pearls (joke!) and women's magazines everywhere calling it the wonder cream, sold out shelves and then a fantastic self...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

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...

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...
