Surely it's got to be one of the most talked about beauty products of the last god, I don't know how long this has been out, it feels like a long time. If I hadn't have won it I probably still wouldn't have tried it!
So what is Beauty Flash Balm?
"An exceptional beauty booster which immediately eliminates all signs of fatigue: facial features appear rested and smooth. The cream in contact with the skin remains soft and pliable to fill out fine lines, while the cream in contact with the air sets to a firming film which gives skin a radiant glow. It promotes a radiant complexion and long-lasting, incredibly luminous make-up. The ideal treatment before a busy day or an evening out."
After cleansing you apply a thin layer all over your face (without massaging in) and immediately apply your make up and you can apply a thicker layer a couple of times a week and use it as a mask.
So my first thought was how would it affect my foundation. Well not all all, it applied just the same as it always does, no problems at all.
The long and short of it is that I find it really does give me a lumious kind of glow, nothing too full on, just a extra healthy looking glow and it's really lovely. I've not tried this as a mask yet but that's the next thing to try.
I was a bit worried at first that it might have been giving me spots, but I think it was coincidence, I've continued to use this and had no further problems. I don't wear it every day, just on the days where I've not had much sleep or I feel my skin needs a little bit of extra help.
Another thing I think worth mentioning is that it not only affects the appearance of my skin under make up, but that it seems to continue the good work into the next day so that I feel my skin still looks much better even when I've cleansed.
Nice one http://www.debenhams.com/ and thank you for the prize!
I've been thinking of getting this, but then saw a couple of bad reviews. Does it make pores look smaller?
ReplyDeleteIf im hungover, sick, grey or just looking gross, this is my backup plan, i adore it xxxx
ReplyDeleteI used to work for Clarins, and we used to sell loads of this! I couldn't get on with it myself, but I know a lot of people who love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on this under makeup, it seems to make it flake on me, but I love it as a mask. If I have a late night and am looking a bit yuck in the morning I slap it on for ten minutes before getting in the shower then take it off with a muslin cloth, and it works a trear.
ReplyDeleteOoh it's ages since I tried this stuff.. I have a Clarins eye mask that I'm about to test. I love their skincare..it doesn't really get the attention it deserves i don't think.
ReplyDeleteoh wow. i heard about this before but not knowing about how to use it. i thought it was a moisturising mask lol. i think me needs this. what's the small on this though?
