Philosophy

While I cannot say I go in for the funny names and little platitudes on the jars, I do like this product line. I am a bit of a beauty junkie and have tried lots of lines, but I always come back to Hope in a Jar moisturizer. It is great for sensitive skin and has fruit acids that resurface and lighten scars and spots… who doesn’t love a little multi-​tasking in the beauty aisle? Also, there is a new version with sunscreen, which is super important here in AZ.
Oh, and the cinnamon buns shower gel is amazing. Really smells like cinnamon buns.
Also, FYI, this started as a local co. and they are still headquartered in Phoenix…

I first started using Philosophy products approximately 2 years ago, after buying a skincare kit from Sephora.
I use Purity Made Simple as my daily facial cleanser. It doesn’t remove all of my makeup, but it’s really gentle and I can open my eyes while washing my face without them stinging.
Hope in a Jar is a great daily moisturizer. I use this at night after washing my face, and in the morning before applying any makeup. If you have dry skin, you might consider When Hope is not Enough (WHINE). I use WHINE during the winter months when my skin is really dry on the outter parts of my face (but not my t-​zone). Be careful when applying WHINE because it is quite thick and will cause milia in the undereye area.
I purchased The Present, which can be a worn over makeup before foundation. It’s said to seal in moisture and act like a band-​aid. Keep in the good, keep out the bad. It makes your skin look smoother, as though you’re blemish free.
Kiss Me Red Tube is one of my favorite lip products. It makes your lips the perfect reddish color with not too much shine. It also looks nice over lipstick.
