No matter how poor I am, I will always have this product in my cabinet (I hope!).
I've used this since it first came out and I love it. I also have the one for eyes which is divine as well.
my only issue with it is that it sometimes kind of peels/flakes. No idea why but it's horrible!
But it definitely brightens the skin, smooths it out, masks imperfections and dark circles and generally just gives you a healthy glow.
I guess nowadays there's the BB creams and primers that do much the same thing - will still stick with my Beauty Flash Balm!
