My mother-in-law's love affair with Innoxa.

My MIL is a lovely lady, who presides over a family of sickly allergic children. One of their many conditions they all suffer from is hideous reactions to most cosmetics/skin care etc due to various skin conditions. As such, she's very picky about what is used, and so pays the good money to use Innoxa.

So every birthday and Christmas, I am now bombarded with various Innoxa products, so here follows my reviews of them!

Super Sensitive Eye Make Up Remover

I use this EVERY day. I tend to eat lipstick, so my general look is a fairly dramatic eye, so by the end of the day, there is some caked on eye make up that needs to be removed. Totally gentle on the eyes, only stings if you really pour it on the removal pad, and the bottle is well designed so you really only get what you need/want out of it. It also appears to be never ending, which is always nice! It really does thoroughly remove even the smokiest of eyes. I haven't tried it with waterproof mascara yet, but I imagine it would take care of that quickly. You don't have to push and pull either. It's a product I would actually buy myself, which I consider high praise indeed!

Gentle Moisture Creme

It's a nice moisturiser. I don't have any raving comments about it. I'm not a big fan of the smell, but you get over that relatively quickly. I tend to keep it around for when I don't want to carry a large Cetaphil moisturiser bottle with me. For me, it doesn't do anything Cetaphil doesn't do, and it actually feels more greasy on my skin. I'm pleased when I get it, but it's not something I'd buy myself.

Innoxa Mineral Eye Shadow:Copper

I love these colours. You get a great colour pay off, and it is totally buildable, so you can go sheer, or have a very strong eye. There's a slight shimmer in the pigment, but nothing too shocking, so I have worn this to work on many an occasion. I do wonder if as a pale brunette, that this isn't the best colour for me, but I have made it work. I'd be interested to try some of the others as well, to see if I can find something that works a little bit better for me.

Innnoxa Liquid Eyeliner

What I really love about this eyeliner is the fact it's a pen. The pen rocks my socks. I had so many issues with the traditional brush liquid eyeliners, then I had to biff them all, so chose this as one of my birthday presents. It's so much easier to control than the brushes. One bugbear, that I've noticed mentioned in other places is that it dries up, and I have noticed that recently, particularly with the tip. I have to leave it upside down, or use the side of the brush to get the coverage I want. However it's still usable, and I make far less of a mess than I did with the brushes, so I think I'd continue to use it. I have it in black, but would be keen to try other colours.

Perfect Lash Mascara

Aaaah, the never ending battle for the perfect mascara. I was at a make up sale last week where there was a crate of mascara and I nearly had a fit over volumising and curling and lengthing to such an extent I just walked away.

This mascara isn't anything to sing home about. It doesn't promise any of those things, but it doesn't really put a foot wrong either. When you end up going through a mascara every 3-6 months, price becomes more of an issue than performance. I am lucky in that I have long dark lashes, so a quick curl and some black mascara and I'm ready to go. So in short, I have no real issues with this mascara, it's a good basic mascara, but I wouldn't cry if they discontinued it either.
