Great Value, Good for Experimenting
-04.01.13
Quick Take: great value
I wanted to try Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and decided to get more bang for my buck with this kit. BFB has become my favorite primer - my skin glows every time I use it. I smooth a pea-sized amount onto my face without rubbing it in too much. The sunscreen is another favorite - it protects with a high SPF without feeling greasy or chalky.
The other products are okay but I would not purchase full size versions. The exfoliating cleanser brightens my skin, but I find the beads are too harsh and it smells like a household cleaner. The eye cream is good but I prefer something with a richer texture. The primer would be good for people with oily skin. I might use it on hot summer days instead of the BFB.

The "IT" Kit
-03.26.13
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly, beauty travel fresh
I love love love the Beauty Balm in this kit and it is almost the same size as the full size product, it really wakes up your skin for a fresh look. I think some of their products are a little over scented - like the scrub and the sunscreen. But all in all this is a great deal.

Too abrasive for me
-03.24.13
Quick Take: abrasive chemical irritant pore clogging
Hello there i have sensitive skin thats prone to acne but decided to try this kit. I tried this for about a week but the face wash was too abrasive for my skin... Maybe good as a wash every couple of days? The concentrated eye treatment would irritate my eyes. I didn't find much of an improvement with the flash balm either, didnnt see how it improved my skin instantly as people say. so I returned the whole kit.

What a find!
-03.09.13
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
Was looking for an spf day cream when i came across this kit. What a find! The spf day cream by itself is $40 so 10 more bucks to try products from the line was great.
Day cream spf40 - you only need a small amount to cover your face and neck area. It is somewhere in between a cream and liquid so be careful when you squeeze the bottle the first time. It absorbs fast and doesn't leave my face with an oily sheen. It does have a bit of that sunblock smell but that goes away once it absorbs. When I'm out in the sun my face says "take that harmful rays!" (OK so my face doesn't talk but if it could...
Instant perfecting touch - i wanted to see if it really worked so i smoothed it into the wrinkles around my eyes on one side of my face and left the other eye alone. Results: it filled those wrinkles in! I could not believe it it. I wonder if they have a cellulite dimple filler for beach days?
The eye cream - the size of the tube does NOT match the contents. It is a very small amount. So much so that i thought it was defective. I contacted sephora and they sent me a replacement kit. Nope.. not defective.. i am 2 weeks in and have noticed great improvement in the puffiness and sagging around my eyes. Goes on nice and smooth. I use it under urban decay eye primer (miracle in a bottle) and my eye makeup stays put.
Cleanser - nice smell and does a great job of making my face feel smooth. It was irritating after first use but no problems since.
Beauty flash balm - because of the name of the product i imagined rubbing the balm on and looking in the mirror to find Natalie Portman staring back. That didn't happen and I've only used this twice so I'm not qualified to give an informed review.
All in all i highly recommend this kit. It's a steal!

Great value

Really great value kit. Some samples are small but it's enough to tell if it works for you. I love the beauty flash balm -- I've seen a huge difference in my forehead lines since using it regularly. The eye cream doesn't seem brighten too much but is still very nice!

I love Clarins products but this is more of a teaser than a good starter package. Would be better if it had a moisturizer.

Great Value

This is a very good value for the amount of stuff it has. The sunscreen is full size and the beauty flash balm is 1 oz. The face was is a decent size too and has become my new favorite. As expected the eye and primer was not very big but that's how it goes for most kits. I had previously only bought the beauty flash balm and been impressed. This is a great way to try out everything.

The cleanser was ok at first, but after a week or so my skin started to feel way too dry. I started to break out as well. I think my skin is a little too sensitive for this "It" kit.

great starter set
-01.07.13
M Bought on a whim, I've read so many great reviews on beauty flash balm, so thought I could try several for the price of one. Love bfb it feels amazing and leaves face really soft & dewy. The exfoliater is super genial and doesn't dry our skin or leave it irritated. The spf feels super light, I have.oily skin and its diff to find a good one for me, this does the trick, I'm trying to use it sparingly so ill have for summer. The eye cream is crazy good, but the size is a lil small, but am planning on buying the full size, so guess it's enough to see if.u like it or not. Also love the instant smooth though i already own. If you are interested in this brand this is a great trial, while they still have it.

Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
I just finished 12 rounds of chemo and my skin is dull and dark circles are really prominent. I have been using the shea butter face wash due to my skin being really dry and decided to try this kit to brighten up my complexion. I used the beauty balm and the under eye concentrate so far. The dark circles were gone first use! The beauty balm also brightened my skin. I would definitely buy the full size of both of these items. I will try the others as my skin sensitivity improves. The kit is a great value to try the products.

The Sample bottles are a pretty good size to let you get a feel for the product for more than one day of product. I loved the product and purchased full size bottles. The Investment to your skin is Priceless.

The Kit is an excellent value-you get to try other Clarins products for free. One of the best sunscreens as well.

Very Nice
-12.28.12
I got a sample if the sunscreen and fell in love, I wanted the full size bottle, with this set I got that and more so it's a great value. It's 40 SPF which is great coverage but its so light on my skin it's not like any other facial sunblock I have used, not shiny or oily looking or heavy on my skin. I use a benzoyl peroxide topical cream for acne, most facial products when put over tend to cause balling and peeling of my acne cream and its a bit of a mess, but none of the Clarins products do that... Which is very nice!!

Was at a meeting, sharing a room with a friend who had these items in her "go" kit. I had forgotten some of my esssential and borrowed her Clarins. Great products. The only one I haven't tried is the instant smooth. Love the flash balm!
