Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Years ago I worked in a clarins salon, so I used all of their products. These days the only reminder of those days is my Clarins beauty flash balm. Many other companies have similar products but this one works for me. I use it when I am wearing full make-up for a special night out, it make my make-up stay fresh all night. I also use it after a night out as a pick me up mask.

I've been using this product for a few years now and I wouldn't be without it.

Whenever the old skin is looking dull or feeling dry I pop it on and it hydrates and brightens beautifully. It's great underneath make up too!

Love this product. Always wear it under my make up. Makes my skin wake up and feel really fresh. Great Product.

I know people rave about this product but I'm not convinced. I didn't notice any difference in my skin with using it. I found it not the greatest at helping my foundation stay on. I felt very 'greasy' with both the balm and foundation on together. My skin does tend to be oily though. I did follow instructions and put foundation over it straight away without letting it be absorbed first though. The Clarins girl told me to use it this way as if you don't you can end up with bitty foundation everywhere rather like dead skin bits. I haven't tried letting it absorb first but after reading some of the reviews on here, I will give that a go. But, as a primer I have found some other products that I definitely prefer.

I love several Clarin's skin care products and have used for years. This is one of those well known products I've been wanting to try. Normal Clarin's packaging in a white tube, a thickish yellow cream. My skin did feel smoother instantly, the balm felt like it was tightening a little bit initially then disappeared after a few minutes; and that's really where it ended for me. It has a relatively fresh feeling on the skin, but I didn't actually see any difference, which is what I was hoping for. If you are going to pay good money for a product, I expect visual difference, not just a feel. I can't see the point in using it as a mask. Perhaps for dry skin it works better, but my water-dehydrated skin didn't benefit. I kept using until it was finished, but won't be buying again, as other primers and masks can offer a more targeted result.

Love love, love this product. Was recommended it by a friend and I have to say I had to try it to believe it. A light cream that you can use alone or as a primer to foundation. Gave my skin and instant lift and firming feeling when applied. Great when you need to feel refreshed.

A good multi purpose product, works well as a primer under your make up, as a quick 5 min pick me up mask or just to give your face a little boost. It refreshes, tightens and smooths your skin. Only gripe I have is its smell, I really don't like it!

I love this product! It makes your skin looks amazing and feel so soft! It was always a must have when I lived in the UK, but now, it is expensive, so would have to be considered a luxury item!

There's a reason why this is such a cult product! It really is amazing! It gives the skin a gorgeous healthy glow and I love to wear it underneath makeup as a primer. It is also fantastic if you have had no sleep or drunk too much wine the night before! Calms the skin and gives you a lovely glow! I love the smell although some do not. Go buy some!!! :)
