Advantages: Easy to apply, actually does what it says on the pack!

Disadvantages: Perhaps a little pricey

This lotion is classed as a 'beauty booster' which claims to perk up tired skin. It fills out fine lines and sets to a firming film giving skin a radiant glow.
It's suitable for all skin types.

It's presented in a 50ml tube and comes in a box with a comprehensive leaflet explaining the product. The balm had a thick consistency and is peach in colour with a light pleasant fragrance. You need to use very little so it lasts ages!

Apply morning or evening to clean dry skin a thin layer over the face, neck and eye area. It's important not to massage the balm in - as it's meant to sit like a 'film' on your skin.
It can also be applied more generously as a facial mask 2 or 3 times a week.

I use my normal face wash and moisturiser and then apply the beauty flash balm on top of that. I find I can get away with not using foundation when I use this product as it seems to even out my skin tone nicely.

I only have two beauty products that I really splash out on - that's my Olay Regenerist moisturiser (see my review on that) and this Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. For me it really seems to work, I'm very pale so easily look 'washed out' so it's nice to have found a product that gives me a bit of radiance without having to keep using makeup.

It retails for around £25 in dept stores. Worth looking online or getting it when abroad or in duty free.

Summary: Pricey but in my opinion worth it!
