Makeup Optional set by Philosophy


What can I say about Philosophy? I don't have a lot of experience with their products, but what I have used I love... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
My mum picked this up for me for Christmas, along with the Margarita 3 in 1 Shower gel, which I will review another day. Now onto the review.....

As I said before, I have become a great lover of Philosophy since using this. The whole package is AMAZING!. Just look at the packaging. Simple yet effective. It even explains whats in the box and what its for. I love how it goes through each product. Much more interesting than just a boring old list... Don't you think?

Anyway, Now for the actual products.

The set comes with 5 products in total: Purity Made Simple (Cleanser), When Hope is not Enough (Oil free serum), Hope in a Jar (moisturiser), Hope in a Tube (eye and lip cream) and The Micro delivery Peel.
First up - Purity Made Simple (Cleanser)...

This is a lovely cleanser, in fact, the best one I have used. Its a really light and creamy substance & smells really nice and fresh. When you put it in your hands and rub them together and on your face you don't get any foam, but you get a lovely clean feel to your face. When you wash it off, you are not left with that skin pulling light feeling, oh no, not with this one. Just moisturised clean goodness. All I do is remove my eye makeup with my Nivea Facial wipes and wash with this and off I go onto the next step...

When Hope is not enough (Oil free serum)

OMG! This stuff is AMAZING!. It comes in a small bottle, with one of them glass vial things with a squeezy top so that you can get the product out of the bottle. Kind of like a turkey baster lol. Anyways, you only need a little of this stuff! Just2 drops on each cheek and one on your forehead is enough for your entire face and neck. According to the box, you can add 5-6 drops of the serum to their Turbo Booster C Powder, but only in the AM. Once I have finished that, I move onto the next step...
Hope in a Jar (Moisturiser)


This stuff is so strange... Brilliant, but strange. In the pot it looks like a thick white cream, but when you touch it its completely different, almost like a thick water, if that makes any sense what so ever.

When you put it on its cooling, like rubbing that thick cool water on your face, but when it starts to soak in its super moisturising and creamy. Amazing!

Lastly...

Hope in a tube (Eye and lip firming cream)

Now, what can be said about this stuff apart from its lovely. This, just like the others is brilliant. Its like a very thick, moisturising cream. All I do is put a dot on the outer corner of each eye and a few dots round my mouth and pat it around. This seems to have worked a treat on the fine lines round my mouth and eye area, not that I had many to begin with, but what I did have seem to have gone! Yahoo!

Then there is the Peel. I haven't had a chance to try these yet, but they say that you should use it first before cleansing and using the rest.

So, full verdict... EFFING BRILLIANT

Would I purchase?... HELL YES

A Sexy 5/5 from me. ;o)
