Gatineau Floracil Gentle Cleansing Lotion (Eye Make-up Remover)

  • Posted on July 15, 2007 at 10:12 pm

A very popular eye make-up remover, especially for contact lens wearers, those with sensitive eyes and those who wear a lot of make-up.

Non-oily, so leaves the eye area refreshed and well cleansed without stickiness or greasiness. Most mascaras and eye colours are removed quickly and without trace. Some of the more stubborn waterproof mascaras take a little longer to remove, but if you gentle press the cotton wool pads soaked in Floracil over your eyes and wait a minute or so not only will you remove your mascara, but you’ll have fresh-feeling eyes!

Thalgo Thalgomince Cream

  • Posted on July 15, 2007 at 7:49 pm

Thalgomince Cream is formulated to help reduce excess fatty deposits and restore skin tone and firmness. We tried this out in several places – tummy, thighs, hips and upper arms.

Most improvement was noticed on thighs – thigh size was reduced and skin tone was much, much better. Overall, we’re not convinced this product will reduce size for everyone, though all of us noticed improved skin tone and most of us felt skin was firmer.

Those who saw the greatest improvement were following a healthy diet and/or an exercise plan and those on such a regime felt that Thalgomince is a product they’d continue to use. For the less health-conscious (!) it was felt that this was too pricey to see enough of a result and that other, cheaper, products gave a similar result.
