Advantages: Long Lasting, it works!

Disadvantages: Pricey

I had read many reviews in praise of Beauty Flash Balm, and had wondered if it really could be THAT good - after all its just a cream isnt it?
I do use a lot of Clarins products and took the plunge one day when I was feeling wreckless and wanting to spend money on myself instead of buying some piece of plastic nonsense for one of th kids.
Boy, am I glad I did - I don't think I could ever be without this prodoct now - it has to be up there as a 'must have' beauty product.
The product itself is a thick peachy cream, which you apply after your normal moisturiser but not rub in - okay, so its a bit of a faff sometimes, having to spend a bit more time patting the product in, but trust me, its worth it.
Soft, velvety feeling skin at the other end, and does exactly what it says - instant radiance. It just makes you look healthier, an essential for 'morning after' skin that is a bit grey and dull looking.
A real treat is using it as a mask, when you apply in it a slightly thicker layer and leave it to work its magic - this depends on how decadent you feel! The tube itself will last with normal use for a couple of months, but using as a mask eats into that, worth it as an occasional treat though
A 50ml tube of this will set you back around £25 from Clarins website or counter

Summary: A desert island product for me!
