In fact, to continue your ongoing comparison between French and British beauty culture, I would say this is a big difference. In France you get a handful with every purchase, whereas here you need to get down on your knees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-68879726197421918442008-04-18T17:09:00.000+01:002008-04-18T17:09:00.000+01:00It's clear from the comments that this is a produc...It's clear from the comments that this is a product which does work for some people and doesn't work for others.

Today is the first time I have ever written anything on a blog, and all I wanted to do was offer some helpful advice to someone who seemed to have the same winter skin problem as me. I do not have any vested interest in the product at all - but I do receive many many compliments about my skin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-17403974569509817622008-04-18T16:23:00.000+01:002008-04-18T16:23:00.000+01:00Was it written by someone with a vested interest i...Was it written by someone with a vested interest in the product, d'you think?

I think it’s a complete waste of money and cannot understand how it is always in those `Best Beauty Buys' lists. I have also tried Barbara Daly's Face Lift from Tesco and that does seem to give a slight brightening effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-3580313428569592972008-04-18T12:30:00.000+01:002008-04-18T12:30:00.000+01:00Great comment!

Interstingly clarins do a male version of the balm - the only difference i can fathom is that it's blue in colour and more expensive than the womens version. Which is no surprise as these potion and lotion manufacturers try and make a quick buck by cashing in on the male grooming boom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
