Has anyone out there tried clarins beauty flash balm ? Any good ?

I love and regularly use Clarins products, but my skin is very dry and I find that the beauty flash balm makes it even drier. No problems with any of their other products though.

Back from holidays now it was just great, great , as we expected, love mauritius sooo much. I have"nt been in touch recently as couldn"t get on line but just back from our daughters, so hopefully she has sorted the problem out. I will say though that I got onto gransnet and they were very helpful, even though they couldn"t sort problem out, it was good to feel they were trying to help x

I like the cut of your jib lescombes grin Mind you, if you lived in this house there wouldn't be enough room for your products and mine!

Being a grandad.... I use Clarins Men products.... shock I use the shave oil, deodorant stick plus hand cream and face wash..... they cost a bit more initially but last 3 to 4 times longer than "normal" equivalents.... Clarins gets my vote from the bloke side of things...

gracesmum I love Origins Night-a-mins, it smells wonderful and seems to induce restful sleep.

glassortwo Sat 04-Feb-12 20:41:22

Nonu if we get the snow we are expecting we will all be in your suitcase to share your break grin

I slathered lots of expensive goo on my face last night and it smelled gorgeous. I don't now if it is just coincidence, but I slept better than ever and my skin felt smooth and plumped when I woke up.
The rest of my body also felt very plumped but I blame the cold weather for that necessitating the consumption of whisky and also chocolate grin

NOT sure, but maybe , anyway grandma, thanks for your good wishes, have a good time whilst I"m away x

jeni Sat 04-Feb-12 18:28:44

nonuhave good time. Is your name French for nanny?

Nonu Sat 04-Feb-12 17:33:36

I am probably on the wrong page still being a "newy" but anyway I"m glad I am on gransnet as it is great and you are all so supportive of each other. I won"t be around for a fortnight as I am off for a little winter sun tomorrow with my DH see I am gradually getting it anyway, enjoy, enjoy what ever you will be doing in the next fortnight

Flash balm must be one of the best products on the market for keeping you looking good when on a late night or a special evening out,I use Liz Earl for daily use and find it lasts ages,I got a fab offer at Christmas of Liz Earl products from one of the daily papers worth over £60.00 just had to save codes for 8weeks but hey-ho it was worth it,all the free gifts where full size and face cleansing products and moisturiser that I use.smile

grin I reckon it would soak into your shin as well!!

MaggieP Fri 03-Feb-12 21:58:02

Sorry spelling mistake, I meant Skin! There would never be enough for shins!

MaggieP Fri 03-Feb-12 21:56:30

I use Flash Balm, and have done for several years, it's excellent, soaks into your shin and feels wonderful. No irritation to sensitive skin, I have one.
Incidentally I find Boots No 7 Intense Serum, brilliant too and much cheaper. My dry skin is a thing of the past (hopefully!)

gracesmum Fri 03-Feb-12 21:33:48

I'm not telling grin - there are times when you need a little retail therapy and this is my sort of pampering!
I think Flash Balm could possibly irritate a sensitive skin but you could try a bit at a Clarins counter and see if you react to it.

bagitha Fri 03-Feb-12 21:12:49

What are the ingredients of this flash balm? Does it have perfume in it?

Annobel Fri 03-Feb-12 21:02:25

Sorry to hear your OH is still in hospital gracesmum. I hope he doesn't have a relapse when (if) he hears about your expenditure.

jeni Fri 03-Feb-12 20:54:38

Wow!

gracesmum Fri 03-Feb-12 20:01:08

susiecb it is all your fault (plus that I needed a bit of spoiling via retail therapy as DH is still in hospital) - I popped into John Lewis and Clarins are doing a "gift with purchase" of 4 good sizes of various products. So I bought the blue orchid oil, which was not too extortionate but needed a second item so I got a night cream to get my "freebies" - bill?? £96 !!!smile

mrshat Fri 03-Feb-12 17:12:38

Love it! Altho' I used Clarins for years I am now a devotee of Liz Earle. However, I happily mix and match and use Clarins flash balm for 'occasions' or if I go out in the evenings. Hard to beat Liz Earles superskin moisturiser for mature skin! smile
