Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

I had never used a primer before and was recommended to use this one. I sometimes use this when I don't want to use a full on moisturiser as it is not as heavy. I really like the way it makes my skin feel and I think that it does make the makeup last longer.

This product I first got as a tester and then purchased the full size. Absolutely love the feel of it on the skin. It's a great primer under a BB cream or on it's own for a fresh look. Definitely makes me feel a bit more glowy on a day where my skin looks dull.

I don't use it as an everyday primer as it's a very expensive product, but still love it!

This primer is gorgeous. I have super dry skin so it helps hydrate my skin prior to my foundation application and it gives my finished look a nice glow. It's a bit pricey but that hasn't stopped me using it daily as when I don't use it my makeup wears off so much faster.

Packaging: simple easy to use and handy travel size tube. Texture: looks thick, and creamy in texture but changes to a lighter lotion feel. Great as a primer gives a gentle tightening feel to the face for the pick me up feel after a night out. Also gave this a try as a mask -nourishing and tightening face felt amazing.

I've only used this product because I use to work for Clarins. If I knew what I knew now I would have used it a long time ago. It does exactly what it says it does. I love it mainly because its a 3 in 1. A make up primer, a radiance booster and a mask. What more do you need for your regular routine!

I have used a few balms to secure make up for the day. Having combination skin, usually dry in the morning and through out the day its visible where my oily areas are. I use a stick foundation as I prefer the coverage. I used Clarins Beauty flash balm and loved it. I've now been using for a few years and I feel it secures my make up through out the day. It doesn't make my skin feel sticky or heavy and I like the consistency of it. Clarins is a wonderful brand with a great variety.

I have quite sensitive skin and I break out quite easily if I use the wrong moisturiser or balm, but I bought this because I thought "you pay for what you get" and it is definitely a pricey buy; but I was seriously surprised how soft and bright it made my skin look while still tightening. It worked really well with my skin and you didn't need to use much, so would def buy this again.

I think I have read every review on here for this product, I hummed and ha-ad and eventually bought it. There as a Christmas gift pack with this in full size and two delux samples in a toiletries bag.

It comes in a decent sized tube, and the price was ok. It's a gel like cream, milky orange in colour. I applied it and contined to apply my makeup and......nothing much. My make up applied as normal, nothing exceptional, it lasted as per normal nothing exceptional. I'm not really sure what I was expecting but whatever it was in my mind it had been built up to be a lot!

Can't say I felt my skin to be extra hydrated or anything, in fact I missed my regular morning routine. I certainly look like i could us a few extra hours sleep still.

To be honest I'm a little devastated because it wasn't as good as I was led to believe.

I love this product. It really does freshen and moisturise your skin removing the look of fine lines. Light enough for under makeup and feels super good if you don't wear makeup. It is packaged nicely that you can get to all of it. The only negative is that it is quite pricey however you do get a good product.

Clarins does incredible products and this is no exception. Makes your skin look and feel incredible, provides a good base for makeup application and just refreshes in general. It's expensive but 100% worth it - it even comes in smaller tubes so if you can get ahold of one you don't need to fork out for a full size until you're sure you love it.
