Clarins beauty flash balm; does what it says on the tin...

I first tried Clarins beauty flash balm when I recieved a trial size amongst a bag of other eye creams, day creams, night creams e.t.c. Usually trial size products stay in my drawer for a very long time before i bother using them/throwing them away. However I'd heard good things about the flash balm and as it's won numerous industry awards I thought i'd give it a go.
Using it as a primer i'd apply a thin layer, not rubbing in like a moisturiser and following with foundation, powder and so on. I found instantly my face felt tighter, my make-up felt in place and like it would stay for a while. Whilst I have no wrinkles to fill, yet... it still gave my finished face afirmer and immedietly brightened look. I was impressed with how the balm worked as a primer, my face make-up lasted and looked radiant for longer than with other branded primers. Besides the fact it smells a little like my grandma's bathroom products, the balm is incredible for oily skin, acts like a mask and doesn't leave foundation slipping off at the hint of warm weather.
Also great for dull lifeless skin, to re-awaken before a night out or to just refresh tired skin on an early start.
Being a beauty product addict when my trial size ran out I went about trying other products, none of which have worked as well as this for me, I'm definitely buying another ASAP.
