Is there anything that does the same job as Beauty Flash Balm...

[TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench]

... but isn't so £££?

Or anywhere online that sells BFB at a speactularly knock down price?

Thanks

speactularly?

spectacularly

I think Superdrug do a copy version for a couple of quid

Superdrug did a good one. I'll go and look.

oh x-post here if it's not this it's definately in their own Natural High range

I haven't used BFB but have used the Superdrug one. It is quite sticky and not v good, although not bad used as a face mask.

Avon does pretty good stuff, they show the product that they are copying emulating.

or the Body Shop Vitamin C cream - can;t remmeber which one exactly but comes in a teeny tube not a big jar

or if you have dryish skin then Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter does a decent overnight plumping job for occasional use.

£1.95

Surely it's must be pants though?

What's Garnier Ultralift like (on the same page as coco's link

Oh yes, I have the bottom butter!
Bit greasy for me (already a natural greaseball)

There's one in Avon but it's £24, then the cheaper one is about £3.

Gosh, never though about Avon.

Do they still have Avon ladies?

I get it through work or online. You can get some good bargins in it. A few mumsnetters are Avon ladies!

grind up some asprin and mix them with some moisturiser and use as a mask once a week, then you wont need bfb.

Aspirin? How come?

(thanks for link coco)

Something about the salycylic acid - does all the brightening malarkey - here

err, what does BFB actually do apart from feel nice for 8 seconds? Isn't it just, like all expensive cosmetics, an utter rip-off?

Brightens & tightens MrsMH

Or maybe I'm just a sucker

Boots used to do a great version in the Botanics range but couldn't find it the last couple of times I went in so it may have been discontinued...

Exactly the same as BFB at 1/3 of the cost

Ooh, now that looks good, Libra.

cleaningsucks - have you tried the aspirin thing? Can you vouch for it?

i do it weekly! honestly -its amazing.

cleaningsucks

I have just done it

Crushed 5 aspirin in a pestle and motar with some cheapy moisturiser, left it on for about 10 minutes

And you're damn right! It is fantastic

I've got nice skin

Wow. Thanks!

Really??? Aspirin???? Am going to dig some out and try it.

hooray! congratulations. welcome to the joys of 16p facials!

just done the asprin facial as my skin was looking tired and dull and have a glam friend coming over for dinner.

Its amazing. I am going to do it every week.

Thank you!
