Philosophy claims that you will be "Makeup Optional" within 3 weeks of using their product. I was "Makeup Optional" in 3 DAYS!
I am forever sold! My skin has NEVER looked better!

I had run out of my all-time favorite facial moisturizer, Hope in a Jar, when I decided that I would just try out all of Philosophy's most popular skin care products -- and get an absolutely amazing deal! The whole set combined is the cost of the face wash and moisturizer alone, so buying it all together is a real value.

Purity Made Simple: This is by far one of the BEST face washes out there. (I am torn between this one and Bliss' Foaming Face Wash.) It is perfect for my combination skin, taking care of any oily areas without drying out the rest of my skin. It has a great light, citrusy smell that is the perfect pick-me-up when washing my face in the morning.

When Hope is Not Enough: I am always weary of serums because I feel like they'll be too heavy for my skin. This one breaks the mold! I feel like it really does what it claims to do -- lift and tone -- without leaving an oily or sticky residue.

Hope in a Jar: I have previously reviewed this moisturizer, but really can't say enough great things about it. It leaves my face perfectly moisturized throughout the year and has really made a difference in my skins appearance since I have begun to use it. I can't even begin to tell you how many comments I get.

Hope in a Tube: This is a fantastic eye and lip cream. Having recently quit smoking, I've been looking for something to help fade the fine lines around my mouth and this seems to be my solution. Again, it's the perfect weight. Thick while not being too heavy or greasy and gentle enough that it doesn't bother me when I am wearing contacts.

Overall, I can't say that there is a product in here that I wouldn't by separately on it's own. Again, Philosophy amazes me!
