How often?
day or night?
what else do you use on top (If anything..foundation etc?

I love mine. I use it in the morning, before foundation and find it helps to keep my foundation on all day. Have also used it to calm my skin down when it's a bit irritated, before going to bed.

in the morning as a skin wake me up! then bit of make up over

I love mine. Use it before foundation. People often comment on how nice my skin or make up looks when I wear it.

cyb · 11/04/2010 22:52

I put a generous layer on , smooth it in then apply foundation straight away.

thanks all, was curious....also, do any of you use the eye revive balm as well? A feeling a trip to the Clarins soon!

I also use it thickly as a mask when I'm looking tired before a night out.

Anyone tried the eye one?

lotster · 11/04/2010 23:04

Oops just realised you've just asked that question!!

Ledodgy · 11/04/2010 23:07

I wear it over moisturiser under make up when i'm going out or somewhere special.

The eye one is great. Used it a lot when DD1 was a baby - she didn't sleep for a year - and think it made a difference. I use the face one before make up when going on a night out - can't use it too often though as it makes me break out (dratted teenage-type skin!) but looks luverley when I do.

Beauty Flash Balm is not supposed to be used every day, so the lady on the clarins counter told me recently. Apparently your skin will get used to it and it'll not have the effect it should have......

webchick · 12/04/2010 09:35

That's interesting beanpot, just every few days then.

Do you all use as a moisturizer or as well as?

I use a self tan moisturiser - johnsons holiday skin...

bellissima · 12/04/2010 13:28

Same as Ledodgy. Too mean to use for the school run!

crumpette · 12/04/2010 13:33

I have some and have used it but it does nothing for my skin! is it more just for dry skin?

IHeartIona · 12/04/2010 13:40

ooh what is the eye one called? may have to investigate that.

hugebelly · 12/04/2010 13:41

I use it about twice a week, mostly when I want my make up to remain on all day and night.

Wash, moisturise, flash balm and before it dries put on foundation (very important), then concealer, powder, then rest of make up.

It makes your skin looks flawless, however if your skin is more oily, you may prefer a primer. You have to try both to see what's best for you.
