Clarins Substitute

NigeWick

My daughter loves Clarins stuff, but now with two children can't afford it. Is there an "own make" or other substitute?

Sometimes T.J. Hughes sells Clarins products much cheaper than in other shops - it could be worth a look there.

I'm sure on one of the other threads somebody mentioned M&S makeup and things being made in the same factory as Clarins .........sorry i'm no good with links

EDIT: i think it's on the shop but don't drop board HTH

I was told years ago by a beauty therapist that all expensive brands had a budget equivalent. if i remember correctly, she said boots botanics was vey similar to clarins. may be worth a look?

Boots Botanics was relaunched last year, they are not a "me to" of Clarins.
They are " natural" but with formulations that contain sufficient herbal and natural ingredients to be effective. There was a strong emphasis that these products must really work.
( I used to work in Boots Head Office).

Oh, and ebay is always worth a peek. She says happily after buying my prefered, but recently neglected due to expense, foundation for a snip compared to high street price!
