Cleansers -Simple - Cleansing Facial Wipes
johanna1 3/29/2012 1:51:00 PM
I have used these for 3 years now and will stick with them. They remove all my makeup including mascara. Granted I don't wear heavy or waterproof so I can't say how they would work on that. But the best bit is that they do not irritate my skin or eyes at all. Very nice.

Brows -GOSH - Eyebrow Pencil
johanna1 3/28/2012 8:28:00 AM
I use ths is grey brown since Maybelline, in their infinite wisdom, discontinued that shade. I have no choice but to like this as all other pencils I have tried are much too warm for my very ashy brows and stick out a mile. So if you are tired of yellowy or reddish pencil lines gleaming in the sun in your brows, try this. It does go on too heavily unless you use a very light hand as others have said but it does brush down quite easily so that isn't really a problem, Overall, average product but unique shade.

Treatments -Boots - Skin Clear Oil absorbing sheets
johanna1 3/7/2012 8:20:00 AM
Found these very ineffective. They don't absorb well at all. The packaging is very user unfriendly. Hard to open, difficult to extract a sheet. Really the worst of this sort of product that I have tried and I have tried a great many.

Lotions/ Creams -Eucerin - 10% Urea Lotion
johanna1 3/7/2012 8:15:00 AM
Got this at derm's suggestion. If you have moderate to severe dry skin, it may be too greasy for you. But if you have severe to terminal dry skin, it is perfect. It does a much better job at removing all the flakies and getting down to intact skin to smooth it than all the body butters in the world worn together. A real lifesaver for skin comfort and appearance.

Mascara -Maybelline - Lash Discovery Mascara
johanna1 2/4/2007 9:19:00 AM
The best mascara I have found. This is perfect if you want color, definition and emphasis. Wears very well and still removes easily enough. I suspect this may find favor with people in my age group (over 45) who don't want the look of having a hairy black caterpillar attached to each eyelid but do want natural but better. It applies in a breeze. Small wand that gets to every little lash and thin texture that never gloops up, just colors, lenghtens and gives some lift. Perfect in my opinion for the look I like, natural but much better than naked.

Masks -Lumene - Arctic touch peel off mask
johanna1 7/19/2004 10:29:00 PM
Really love this stuff. First peel off mask that actually does peel (or rather, roll, off in one piece for me. It does an extremely good job of cleaning pores but doesn't dry my skin out like QHMJ mask does.Very impressed with how effective yet gentle this is.

Masks -Zia - Papaya Enzyme Mask
johanna1 6/9/2004 11:40:00 PM
This is the only mask my sensitive skin will tolerate without any stinging, reddening or drying out. And it does work to help the appearance of my skin. Smoother more even toned and reduced pore appearance. Needs to be applied to very damp skin. Rinses away easily.

Moisturizers -Zia - Citrus Night Time Reversal
johanna1 6/9/2004 11:36:00 PM
I think the trick to this is following the directions and using it on damp skin. I spray with Evian and then apply. After a month of nightly use, it has not irritated my usually sensitive skin or aggravated my rosacea. There isn't another product of this type that I can say that about. It does brighten and smooth skin with consistent use. This is a winner for me.

Cleansers -Zia - Fresh Cleansing Gel
johanna1 6/9/2004 11:26:00 PM
Love this stuff. It thoroughly removes all my make-up with the exception of some mascaras. Seems to depend on the brand. It doesn't dry, strip or irritate my fairly touchy rosacea skin. Rinses easily and leaves no film. A little goes a long way. The sample bottle has lasted two weeks and is still nearly full. That makes the price a bargain. So far I am impressed with everything I have used from this line.

Treatments -Avon - Clinical Line and Wrinkle Corrector
johanna1 11/15/2003 4:54:00 PM
I am so disappointed. I had high hopes for this as I am in my 50's and do have noticeable lines under my eyes and around my mouth. I used two complete jars to be sure I was giving it a fair trial. And nothing ...not the slighest bit of improvement. A nice moisturiser. Pleasant to use. But no miracle for me.

Eyes -Aromaleigh - Eye shadows [DISCONTINUED]
johanna1 7/5/2003 1:16:00 PM
Love the new "Carolina"shades. Cattelleya is the best brown,grey,pink, taupe shade for blue eyes that I have ever found anywhere. And overall these are lovely colors, easy to use, wear well and are priced right. One more winner for Aromaleigh.

Sunscreen -Linda Sy - ZincO
johanna1 6/1/2003 11:52:00 AM
I have been using this for two weeks now and really love it. I have rosacea and in addition to providing good sun protection with no irritation, the zinc seems to help calm the redness as well. Tried the tinted but it is too dark. Makes me look dirty. But the untinted works fine. No white cast for me but I am so pale that it wouldn't show up anyway so I am not a good judge of that. Atr $28 for a good sized tube, this is definitely worth a try if you have sensitive skin and/or rosacea.

Cleansers -Bliss Labs - Quiet Type Cleansing Milk
johanna1 6/1/2003 11:46:00 AM
This line is a complete waste of your money UNLESS you have genuinely sensitive skin that cannot handle the myriad of chemicals in most products. If that is the case, then this Quiet Type line is terrific. It is the only line I have found that does not irritate my skin. No redness, peeling or stinging. Personally love it.

Skincare - Face -Serious Skin Care - Glucosamine Serum
johanna1 5/6/2003 8:51:00 AM
Strangely enough this stuff seems to really help the appearance of pores. Mine have just disappeared. And sice I have very sensitive skin this is really the only thing I can use that doesn't irritate. I have tried the other products in this line and do not care for any of them except this one.

Fragrances -Christian Dior - Diorissimo
johanna1 4/18/2003 11:58:00 PM
I have adored this scent for 40 years. There are very few things that I have remained delighted with for that long. As soon as spring starts to appear, I want to smell Diorissimo. Flowery, fresh, green and beautiful. An uplifting, life looks great sort of smell.
