Philosophy Uncertainty...

Tonight I decided to switch up my skin care routine and use two Philosophy products I have never tried before but had small samples laying around. The first product I tried was Purity.

This stuff was incredible! I removed all of my makeup with ease and left my skin feeling soft and clean. Afterwards I decided I needed to moisturize (duh)! Boy was that a bad mistake to use Philosophy's Hope in a Jar.

I applied this product ensuring to avoid my eye area. It felt beautiful going on and my skin seemed to "suck" it in right away. Everything was fine for a few moments when my eyes turned beat red and started to water like CRAZY! I'm the type of person that can use just about ANY skin care products but this was not happening. I ended up having to run to the sink and wash my face repeatedly to get it off. I will not ever buy this product! Thank goodness it was a sample rather than having purchased the full container... now that would have been disappointing. 

To end on a bit of a positive note there is a Philosophy product that I swear by! These things may be a little bit more on the expensive side but are completely worth it. They are the Microdelivery Triple-acid Brightening Peel Pads. 

These things are absolutely amazing! I have been using these since I started working in the industry as a co-worker recommended them. They work fabulously and leave your skin feeling flawless. The only real 'downside' is that you need to ensure to wear SPF after using these (but you should be using SPF anyways). SPF is extremely important as these peel pads remove a large amount of dead skin cells that sit on the surface of the skin, as well as, protect the skin. SPF will aid in fight against ageing as the rays from the sun are one of the top reasons for premature aging, sun spots, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. 

Overall Philosophy has some great products and as I learned tonight some not so great (at least for me). Hopefully I will have better luck with Miracle Worker, which I'm a little hesitant to try but will still give a shot. Another night we will see what Miracle Worker has to offer.
