Smart Philosophy

I recently discovered the Philosophy skin care line—and I fell in love right away.

I am fortunate to receive a lot of beauty and skin care products to try out so I can write about them here on my shopping blog. If I love a product, I can't wait to share the news with my lovely readers. After a week of using several skin-care products from Philosophy, I wanted everyone to know how great these products are which will, in return, make shopping for skin-care products more fun!

Top Five Best Philosophy Products

Miracle Worker: This is Philosophy's "...exclusive hpr, high-performance retinoid" eye area cream, and it's called Miracle Worker for a reason! I noticed a change in a couple of days, and it's now part of my day and night skin care routine. This cream helps surface cell turnover and supports natural collagen to dramatically improve the look of your eyes, and it reduces wrinkles and discolouration and helps with under-eye bags and dark circles, too. It sells for $65.00.

Purity Made Simple: This is Philosophy's award-winning daily facial cleanser. It promises to gently cleanse, tone, and melt away all face and eye make-up while hydrating the skin. At first, I was very unsure about trying a cleansing product that would also do a good job at removing eye make-up, but I was happily surprised to see that I don't have to use a separate eye make-up remover anymore! Seriously—this is my favourite Philosophy product. It does a fantastic job, and yes, it even removes eye make-up including mascara! It retails from $10.00 a bottle to $50.00 a bottle depending on the size you buy.

Hope In A Jar: This moisturizer is soft and fluffy and works amazingly well. It's also the moisturizer that Oprah made famous, as you might remember! When I first tried it, it felt almost like a light moisturizing foam. This sells from $15.00 to $115.00. And it's worth it!

Full Of Promise Treatment Duo: When I spoke to Philosophy, I asked for a product that would help lines around face. I'm not twenty anymore, and I'm noticing things that didn't used to be on my face now that I'm in my thirties! This treatment duo (for uplifting days and volumizing nights) helps by providing an instant tightening sensation, and also helps support natural collagen. "Facial contours are more defined, skin looks lifted and feels remarkably youthful." This product that I use both day and night gets my two happy shopper thumbs up! Cost: $75.00.
