Anyone use Janet Sartin?

I don't have any of the skincare products but do have two pretty eye
shadows, light and dark gray.

I, too, used the Janet Sartin line and thought the products were way too
harsh. I would not recommend them at all. Alot of them have alchol in them
and can really irritate oily skin.

I don't use her products myself - but in case anyone in the DC area is
interested, and has not heard yet, the line is now at the Tysons' Bloomies.

Was wondering if anyone uses this very interesting line?

I don't know too much about this line but I will offer what I *think* is
correct about Janet Sartin products. She sort of goes by the same
principle as Erno Laszlo in using soap, astringent, hot water....I have
had disasterous effects from Laszlo and for this reason I've never been
tempted to try Sartin. I don't think it's really a very *gentle* line
and probably would not work on sensitive skins. Could someone please
confirm if my take on this is accurate?

I got suckered into trying Sartin once to get the gwp of the skincare
products. These things are so old-fashioned that they're practically
retro! The toner is even more harsh than the Clinique acetone toners,
and yes, I'm pretty sure I remember them containing acetone, too--
and you're supposed to put this chalky-looking liquid on your t-zone
at night--what an aphrodisiac that is, to be sure! I can't remember
the cleanser--I must have blocked it. I'd say skip this one unless
you have incredibly oily skin--the saleswoman thought I had normal-to
oily skin--wrong! It was warm in the store and I was perspiring--I'm
not oily-skinned, I'm a slob who needs to wear some powder! So I can't
even recommend their salespeople. And the foundation is powder suspended
in some kind of watery liquid--yuck. It settles into the lines and looks
chalky. I threw it all away--and I never throw things away, as people
who have swapped with me can testify.

A bought a blush that looks too orangy on me -- in case anyone
wants it.

I use to work for Sartin when I first entered the makeup business. The
products are not for everyone but some of the regime really works. They
have improved their color palette also, but it takes a lot of time to
get use these nontraditional wearing products.

Skin care is the most important thing you do for your face but examine
what products you really need to be using and are conformable with.
Don't always be forced into following what the beauty advisor says
religiously. Like a doctor they have to tell you both the benefits and
the downfalls. The results vary from person to person.

You have to learn to take a situation on an individual basis and use the
recommendations as a guide line. Good luck, Natalie

It looks as though I am in the minority here, as a HUGE Sartin fan!
It is the only line that has cleared up my acne. It wasn't severe acne, just
painful. I have used it off-and-on for a few years. If I haven't been using
it for several months, and I break out, the nighttime (white chalky potion)
treatment, and foundation are very soothing. I use the gentle cleanser, soap
and treatment foundation on a regular basis. I know the line is often called
old-fashioned, and I agree. But, it has really worked for me, and I like it.
I also use the powder. I have always found the people at the counter to be
very nice and helpful. I think they are similar to the Chanel counter people.
I would disagree that the line is as harsh as Clinique, which I don't care
for. I felt like my face was going to fall of, and it HURT when using
Clinique.
True, Sartin is not for everyone. It is pretty time consuming and
high-maintenance, and expensive.
They do sell travel-sizes if you want to get acquianted with the line.
