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...

Review of A Noble Radiance - Donna Leon

Is radiance this simple?

Advantages: Leaves skin clean and soft
Disadvantages: Still looking for the radiant glow

...I have tried numerous face cleansers in my quest to find the perfect one, I didn't think it would go on this long but I can't seem to find that perfect one. I stopped using soap on my face a while ago, as it didn't matter which one I used they all seemed to dry my skin and leave my face feeling tight. I don't know why I bought this one as I have had mixed results with Simple products but it might have been the promise to deliver me radiance! So did it live up to its claim or not? COMPANY HISTORY Please feel free to skip! Nivea was born in 1911and combined the works of 3 German men, Oskar Troplowitz, Isaac Lifschutz and Paul Unna. They invented the first long lasting skin cream and named it "Nivea" which in latin is "Nivus" meaning snow white. In the 1930's the brand was given a facelift and they also came out with their first...

Boots No.7 Instant Radiance Concealer - brilliant product

Advantages: Blends nicely, conceals dark shadows, one tube lasts a few months
Disadvantages: No way of knowing when it will run out, cleaning the brush is a mild nuisance

...I've always had quite dark circles under my eyes which never completely go away however much sleep I've had. My previous experiences with using the normal, old-fashioned concealer sticks have looked cakey and dry, and give the appearance that I have wrinkles, which is most unwelcome! Like other reviewers that have commented on the Instant Radiance Concealer, I had read about Touch Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent and wondered if I should invest in it, but thought the price was prohibitive. Reading up about Instant Radiance Concealer on the Boots website convinced me that this would be a reasonably-priced alternative, so I bought some on my next visit to the shop. It comes in a narrow black box with an instruction leaflet. The concealer itself is contained in a cylinder that looks similar to a pen. The concealer costs £12.75 which isn...

Review of Boots No.7 Instant Radiance Concealer

the futile pursuit of radiance and beauty...

Advantages: very light, light reflective
Disadvantages: not moisturising enough for me

...covering it up Botanics skincare was on special offer, with 2 products for £10, so I came home with a pore perfecting concealer, to cover up those evil and unexplainable bumps, and a little green box of Beauty Radiance Balm. This is usually £9 for 40ml, which is quite expensive, but since I got the £6 concealer for an extra pound I'm happy. It's a quite classy looking affair, tucked inside the sturdy little box is a small chunky, rubbery feeling tube. I used a small amount of the smooth white cream on my face, and it really only needs a very little bit as it spreads over easily and is quickly absorbed. It smells very faintly of apples, only if you try really hard to imagine there are some in there. Otherwise it's just a fairly bog standard looking face cream. The balm claims to be revitalising, with extracts of apple and wheatgerm that...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

~~~RADIANCE in a BOTTLE~~(Olay, Multi-Radiance)

Advantages: Radiantly glowing silky smooth skin, a beauty must have - an ideal day cream.
Disadvantages: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~none for me to comment on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...My mum brought this for me last christmas and it has now become my must have / always have product (day cream). Olay complete care Multi-radiance (daily illuminating fluid) is perfect as a quick pick me up for dull or tired skin, especially for these winter months. It is ideal instead of foundation if you dont like to have to wear full make up everday, and it is also ideal to use as a base under foundation, to enhance and hold your foundation. This treasure has many qualities; 1) it is a UV fluid and therefore protects your skin with an SPF 15. 2) it contains vitamins to nourish and moisturize your skin - Vitamins E+B3 + Pro-vitamins B5. 3) it is non-comedemic so wont clog - but because of its natural light enhancers, uneven or pigmented skin tone is less noticable. The bottle has a pump dispenser and a little go's a long...

Review of Olay Complete Care Multi-Radiance SPF 15

A perfect Radiance Booster in a pen.

Advantages: Great coverage, Easy application.
Disadvantages: None

...This product is a brilliant mix of a concealer and highlighter, giving your skin depth and illuminating radiance. As stated in my review of Dior pure light foundation, I use this product, before applying my foundation, to both hide any imperfections and to give my skin a light boost. It can be used just like a highlighter to get rid of shadows, give your skin radiance and covers imperfections as well as any other concealer. Any other concealer I have bought in the past has been a stick concealer, which I find very cakey and thick and when I first bought this product I thought it was to light and almost runny to be any good. I was very surprised to find that it gives better coverage than the stick concealers and you don't feel like you have a big spot caked in concealer on your face. Because the Dior skin flash is so light...
