Product Review: Elizabeth Arden All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover

I really need a good eye makeup remover. I use a lot of makeup on my eyes since I really enjoy playing them up. I generally use some kind of base, then eyeshadow, and tonnes of mascara, and more often than not I am using some kind of waterproof liner or glitter. Because of this, I always pick an eye makeup remover that is oil based.

From the Elizabeth Arden website:

• This two phase formulation easily and gently removes even transfer resistant and waterproof makeup. Fragrance free.

This does a nice job on light-medium eye makeup, and with a bit of scrubbing can remove heavier makeup. However, I find the oil content too low, so when removing my eye makeup, it feels a bit too abrasive. For me, a really oily makeup remover feels silky and my makeup just slides off with little effort. I have sensitive skin and don't like to have to rub too hard. So this one is up there, but not *quite* at the top. That being said, it is much better than any one single phase, gel or cream based eye makeup removers I have used. At $16.00 US the price is reasonable, but I find I use a lot more than my normal brand, which I will review later on!

Product Review: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Time Complex Moisture Cream SPF 15

From the Elizabeth Arden Website:

The continuous-release super moisturizer that minimizes the appearance of the visible signs of aging:

• Boost skin's hydration level over 450% after one hour.
• Helps provide all-day (up to 15 hours) skin-essential moisture.
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• A unique combination of Ceramides I and III helps prevent vital moisture loss.
• HCA, part of an advanced Alpha-Hydroxy Complex, gently improves exfoliation, helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• A moisture-binding polymer network of Glycerin, Sodium Lactate and Hyaluronic Acid helps attract and bind moisture to the skin.
• With SPF 15, for added protection from damaging UV exposure.

I find myself really becoming an Elizabeth Arden fan.  I treat myself to these products whenever there is a bonus.  I received the Ceramide Time Complex Moisture Cream as a part of a bonus and used the sample for well over a week.  This cream is absolutely lovely!  As I find with all of the Ceramide line of products that I have tried, it is very smooth and luxurious feeling.  It doesn’t have an overpowering scent, nor does it smell like sunscreen!  It is quite moisturizing and feels luxurious.  As for the AHA Complex… I don’t feel any tingling when I apply it, which tells me that maybe the AHA in this really doesn’t do all that much.  I know when I have put a good AHA cream on my face.  I can definitely feel it.  I highly recommend this for anyone with dry skin.
