It's meant to be really popular but I hate it! It makes my skin feel really tight and dry and I have to slap on loads of moisturiser on top of it. I'm probably the only person in the world that doesn't like it as its raved about so much by others.
I swear by it. Can't be without it. It is expensive, but it really works and it hasn't bleached my skin at all. It definitely brightens the complexion and makes make up look and last better. I don't wear make up all the time - but I always use Clarins Beauty Flash Balm.
I have a sensitive skin and find it great. However, a friend of mine found it irritated her skin. So as LittleLady says go to a Clarins Counter and have a word with them, they may just give you a little sample tube if you talk to them nicely!
Aw, c'mon outaboutnowt, that's harsh. Still, if you really thought that perhaps that's why the lady is an 'ex'.
I had forgotten about Flash Balm - I used it a lot when it first came out and it always brightened me up. A fresher look to make-up, lightens the face. It was the first of the skin-tighteners I think as I recall there is a slight lift of face muscles. I didn't look so saggily gruesome after a heavy night. There are lots of similar products now but the flash balm is immediate as you make up to go out.whereas other face enhancers might need overnight to work. Nowadays I use Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream which is heavier and makes one look quite shiny. Maybe I'll try Flash Balm again. It is good to use different face products and shampoos, vary them a bit. The cheaper version sounds good.
