I have the Calrins one and I don't really see the difference. Maybe it is meant for more mature skin ? I am 26.

Clarin's one smelled disgusting and brought me out in blotches.

Not surprisingly haven't been that interested in trying any others. Am trying the baby bottom butter from another thread for £2.50...
(Am hoping it wasn't a joke thread...)

Have used the superdrug one since 1997 and have never had a problem with it. I find that you only need a small amount and its not sticky, have tried others but keep coming back to this one.

I like it (Clarins products nice in general, but must be bought Duty Free or I feel sick when the Clarins tart rings up my purchases on the till...)... but I much prefer that Boots Protect & Perfect serum. God, I swear by that stuff. I use it as a moisturiser on it's own, a primer underneath other moisturisers, an eye cream and a lip salve.

Virgin Vie Brightening Boost (think thats what it's called) is excellent- only need a little blob and it really does brighten your compexion and is a fab primer. Works as a highlighter too. They do a darker one for darker skin too, can't remember what that one's called though.

PANIC- tried to link it and I can't find it on the website though- hope they've not discontinued it I ran out before Xmas and haven't got round to re-ordering boo hoo

minkus how much is it?

I use Clarins balm overnight just layer it on and let it sink in. I'm not sure if it makes any difference at all, but do feel I am doing something to counteract all the bad things I do to my skin!

Flash balm is not supposed to go on under foundation though! According to the fantastic (amazing but true) Clarins rep at my Boots - balm is more like a twice a week mask that you don't wipe off. I don't really understand it tbh.

For under foundation I've had uk.clarins.com/main.cfm?prodID=862flash this]] which is lovely. It brightens the skin if you just want to use a bit of concealer, and makes foundation last much better. Since that ran out I've been using Mac Prep & Prime which feels lovely but have had a couple of spots (only been using for about 4 days) so will have to wait and see.

I think the clarins light thing can be used as an illuminator too, whatever that involves.

I think that's why people don't get on with half of these products - nobody's really sure what they're for. I know I'm not, and lovely Clarins girl at Boots always has gaggles of people wanting her.

Oh I've been waiting for this one to recommend....

Boots Botanics Radiance Beauty Balm

Has light reflecting stuff (like in Vitalumiere, etc) and IMO makes far more of a difference than Clarins one (which seems to just be a moisturiser to me...)

Around £4.99 I think so a lot cheaper too.

Can't stand Protect and Perfect, it made me spotty as a teenager.

Advanced Night Repair rocks - and I can make it last months. Have to at that price.

On the back of BFB it does tell you to follow immediately with make-up.

got the tesco skin wisdom one this week. 'tis ok, stickier than the clarins one. but super cheap....

Used the Tescos Face Lift. People told me I looked well that day ( I must usually look like Mortica) I thought it highlighted spots blemishes. I used to like the Revlon skin lights, they come in different shades so you can match them to your foundation.

I have been using this olay daily serum. I put it on straight away when I wake up and then make up about 30mins later - def gives good base and softens and tightens a bit.

Have used BBF too, was nice but not the orgasmic results I have seen reported on here.

Well this isn't quite the same but I had a treatment. It was extraordinary. Is the nearest you can get to a non-surgically to a face lift.

There were electric pulses put on the face and then collagen and hot and cold face masks.

Honestly - I never do things like this but it was For A Very Vain Good Cause, but god it really had some effect. It lasts for 4 weeks evidently.

oooh was it your photo?

so did it work honestly? did anyone notice?

I don't want to buy a copy of Beauty Flash balm, because contrary to popular opinion on here, I really rate it and always wear it under foundation on a posh night out.

I think it makes a massive difference to the way my (dodgy) skin looks. So there. And I don't care if any other bugger can see a difference because I can

clarins beauty flash balm= over priced rubbish. i bought it and it wasnt any good.

BBBee - yes it made a difference! Honestly. But I am old remember - I think it works best or you see best results on those nearing and over 40. So she said. Also Julia Swahalia goes in to see her every month [ponce].
