If you put on makeup as portion of your each and everyday routine and on occasion find yourself spending more time looking for the makeup you want, than the actual time you spend applying your make up, it is time to coordinate your makeup kit. So the very introductory of the makeup beauty tips is: get organized. Here are the steps you may follow to put together a Professional Makeup Kit: 1. Allot time to work on this project and focus on it is completion. Look for a big working area where you may disseminate out all your makeup and coordinate whatsoever you have. 2. Put out all your makeup and skin care productions and go through them. Throw away anything that is broken, and old that may have assembled bacteria. If the makeup has disunited or flaked, looks old and the applicators are dirty, these may cause botherations or contagions and need to be disposed. The basi rule is, if you cannot even do not forget how long ago the item was purchased or given to you, throw it away. Use these guidelines to determine how long you ought to keep your makeup before disposing it. Six months One Year As necessitated 3. Group the items that you may still use together according to the following categories. * Foundation used on the skin before other products, to even the skin tone 4. Classify your make up items into those that you use each day. If you do not wear the makeup everyday, coordinate discerned kits for your costume, formal, and special occasion makeup. Group the items in piles according to: * Daily wear * Skin care * Special occasion * Seasonal (optional) 5. Check your makeup application tools. Throw out employed and worn out sponge applicators that came with your makeup. It is best to buy washable brushes to replace your powder puffs and foundation sponges. The life of your makeup is extended if you eliminate the bacteria and oils that get in contact with the powders. These are a great deal of of the most usual application tools used: * Powder brushes Clean the application tools that you steadily use and need. * Eyeliners may be cleaned by soaking a cotton ball in alcohol then rubbing it on the pencil. Regularly sharpen the tip as well. 6. Look at your organized piles and try to determine the bag size you need to store them. If you do not have the makeup organizer you need, buy one. It would be good to get something somewhat larger with sufficient pockets than something that is too small. Look for make up bags or kits in beauty supply shops and section stores. Make sure the bags or kits you choose may hold all the makeup you plan to store in it, including a brush bag you may have purchased. * You may find bags that vary in size and design. Preferably look for a cosmetic makeup bag made to coordinate makeup merchandise since these will in all probability have a plastic interior that may be zip closed to refrain from spilling, and may be wiped clean. There may likewise be pads or quilts in the exterior for extra protection. Organize your makeup productions in the bag you purchased and store the bags properly. Congratulations! You have just put together a professional makeup kit and may now have a less stressful, coordinated and effective makeup routine. |

I love everything about these products. Their result is obviously the most import thing, but I also love the way they smell, the “philosophical print” speaks to me, the bottles and tubes are all comfortable sizes with easy to use lids (in the shower). All my senses are indulged.
my rosacea is disappearing more everyday
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m 69, and I started getting rosacea around my nostrils a couple of years ago, and lately have been distressed that it was spreading to around my mouth and down to my chin.
From the first peel, my rosacea started to disappear and has continually improved for the last four weeks. I have skin again!
Come on, girls, this is just the price of one facial in a salon. Quite reasonable for a total re-paving job, and I can see that these products will last a very long time.(except the peel is sample sizes in this kit and I will definitely buy more of it.)
Without a doubt, best dollar I ever spent for my skin. And I love the fresh herbal smells.
For my skin, this is the best there is …

I am 58 but I have great line less skin–due to sun protection all of my life and good genes. I ran out of my “Makeup Optional” kit last May and thought I could just go out and buy a drugstore brand instead of spending $78 during this recession. Wrong! I regret not reordering the kit because my skin developed so many problems and I have struggled for almost a year to get it back to normal. I have never even had a pimple in my life so, I had no experience in solving skin problems.
Within a couple of weeks of not using the kit I developed dermatitis, pimples and a strange rash on each side of my mouth. I ended up buying more brands of skin stuff and yet it kept getting worse. Nothing helped.
Finally, running out of ideas I decided to get an appt. with a dermatologist. The wait is 3 months! In the meantime, I got an email from Philosophy offering $10 off with free shipping and I jumped at that offer. I was curious if going back to the kit would be a solution but also I had been warned that my derm appt. would be costly!
Within 3 days of using the kit–my skin is showing signs of returning to normal. I am shocked but grateful that this is happening. I find it hard to believe that these products can get rid of the things that were troubling my face/skin but it’s true. I am canceling the dermatologist appointment.
I had a patch on my face that was so tender, red, and the skin itself was becoming a different texture than the rest of my face and it just hurt! Now, that patch is beginning to turn around and every day it looks more and more like healthy skin. I thought the Hope in a jar and the Purity wash would burn it like everything else had but no, there is no reaction at all except that it looks better now.
So, if your skin has become a mess, try this kit. I would not have believed these products could actually heal skin had I not ended up with skin problems this past year.
Great Product. Stinky Smell.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
It took a few days for me to see results, but after like the 4th day of use I woke up, looked in the mirror and was dumbfounded! I was very suprised to see that the product claims were true. My skin was definitely smoother & more pores were hardly noticeable. I have to admit that I was skeptical & hesitant to spend this much money. The only complaint I have is the smell of the Hope in a Jar moisturizer. It has lactic acid in it so the smell isn’t that pleasant, but it doesn’t keep me from using it daily.
No Beauty Product is for Everyone
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
No miracle for me, not even for $78. The peel made my skin flake for two weeks and then break out for almost a month. Bad, bad, bad. Lots of hype surrounding these products, which most of my friends have tried, and most think are just average. My skin can have its moments, but it’s not extremely reactive or dry…It should be remembered that no beauty product is for everyone.
Microdelivery Peel: Um, no thanks. It is common for peels to make your skin flake, but afterwards your skin should feel soft, smooth, and renewed. This just made my skin break out in a way that it has never done before, and this went on for more than a month. Six weeks later, I still have the dark red marks to show for it, and my skin is MORE congested than before. Makeup is anything but optional right now, since without it I look like a have some sort of disease.
Hope In a Jar: A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it. I kept using this after the other products, and while I liked the scent and the way it felt on my skin, it gave me zits on the side of my face on which I continued using it. If you ever break out or have had an allergic reaction, stay away. The formulation has preservatives in it (diazolidinyl urea/imadazolidinyl urea) that can cause the allergic reaction reported by so many users, and the vitamin E is not in an active form that will do anything for your skin long term. Does give some people a “healthy glow” but this is the result of some unhealthy chemicals.
When Hope Is Not Enough: You can get cheaper and equally effective products with better ingredients, for example Avon’s Vitamin C Serum (I think it’s under $15, especially when they have a sale). It has been established by science for many years that the one topical product that will really diminish fine lines and wrinkles is Retin A. You can get it with a prescription from your doctor, or you can find it at 60 and 30 concentrations from La Roche Posee (around $40).
Purity: Just an average cleanser. I liked the smell, but comes no where near cetophil, neutrogena, la roche posay, or most of the other pharmacy brands that are regularly recommended by my 5th Aveenue dermatologist. Save your money.
My dermatologist was horrified that I had tried this kit, and unsurprised with the results. I am horrified at what it did to my face, as well as at the $78 down the drain. A lot of hype surrounding these products, but not much in the way of science. stick with something with active and pure ingredients that backs up its claims (and just because it markets itself as “pure” does not mean it is).
Excellent
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Love it! Everything it promises to be. I’m 42 and very pleased with the results so far. All of the products are very light and soothing. I have not experienced any breakouts and my skin feels and looks healthy. I LOVE “On a Clear Day” and apply it to my chin a few minutes before applying makeup to prevent my pores from getting clogged. Great stuff at a great price. I recently traveled with this set & I am happy to say that I did not have to check my luggage because all of the products were within airline guidelines!!! Love that, too!
This stuff really does work!

First let me start off by saying that I just got this kit yesterday for Christmas. I used it once yesterday (the whole kit including the peel) once this morning (just the cleanser and moisturizer) and tonight (the whole kit minus the peel). I can already see a huge difference. I have fairly normal skin, which tends to be a little dry around my nose and a little on my cheeks. My skin is always mostly clear and I get compliments on it fairly often. I have never had a problem with acne, but I do get the occasional HUGE zit. I have blackheads on my nose that won’t go away no matter what I try. I don’t really need the hope in a tube or when hope is not enough since I’m only 27 and I’ve been wearing spf on my face everyday since I was 21, but I used it anyway. My skin is also sensitive so I worry about trying new products.
These products have a great texture, a nice clean smell and I have had no negative reaction to them. I was a little worried about the hope in a bottle because it did burn a bit but not bad at all and it only lasted a few seconds. Well, not only did this kit NOT do anything negative, but after only one day, my skin looks smoother, more even, and is very soft. I will update this after I’ve been using it longer, but I am so excited I just had to review it now! hahaha
Still waiting

My mother uses philosophy products and said they are great and I needed some new face products so I thought I would try this. I have combination skin that maybe breaks out just a little bit every now and again. This product is suppose to be for congested skin and yet I see no change in my skin yet. Maybe I need to use it longer; it’s been about 2-3 weeks. I think it would be better if the cleanser had the micro beads in it to feel like my skin was getting clean.
Wonderful Product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am 24 years old with dry, sensitive skin. This combination of products did wonders for my skin. I am a first time buyer of Philosophy products, and I am very happy with the results. I decided to buy this kit because the moisturizers that I was using were not working well. They would make me break out and still leave my already dry skin dry…causing small bumps to appear around my cheeks. Apparently your skin creates those bumps when it isn’t getting enough moisture. Well, after hearing some good reviews of Philosophy, I thought I would try it out. After a week, those bumps disappeared, my skin is softer than ever, and the dryness is completely gone.
The smell isn’t wonderful, and I noticed from some reviews of the individual products said that the smell was so bad that they quit using it. I honestly don’t think it’s so bad. If a products gives you great results, the smell is nothing to sob over. This is worth a try especially if you are a first time Philosophy buyer like me. It’s a small set just to try the products out with a reasonable price tag. It comes with small samples also…so, it’s all good.
Overall, it was a great buy. I’ve become a fan of Philosophy.
Great stuff!

I have been having trouble with my skin ever since I had my daughter at 40. It seems suddenly I have some combination or dry skin compared to oily skin before! I’ve tried several different things in the last few years, but this is the first skin care that has really made a difference. My husband is always a skeptic, but he even can tell the difference. He said it made my skin look younger! Gotta love this stuff!
Esthetician Approved
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I highly reccomend this kit. I am an esthetician that has lots of trouble with hormonal breakouts on my chin, jawline and neck. I had been using a system with benzoyl peroxide that was just too drying, even though I do have an oily skin type. This kit is great. All of the products are full size (except the samples of the peels). The products are very concentrated, so I expect that this kit will last around 3 months. I noticed an immediate difference in my skin – brighter, firmer, healthier glow. I’ve now been using it for two weeks. I’ve had a few hormonal breakouts (right before my period) but they are very small and clear up much faster. It is really getting rid of red scarring left over from previous breakouts and my fine lines around my eyes are certainly decreasing too. The sample peels in the kit are awesome. You can get 2 peels out of each sample set – so about a total of 6 treatments. I reccomend using the peels 2X week to get you started – it really kicks up the results.

I am 54 years old with Mediterranean-type skin, which I have mostly neglected, unfortunately. What a difference I see after using the items in this kit for the first time! I used the micro-dermabrasion, the eye and lip cream, and the “when hope is not enough” serum. My skin absolutely glows, after one use. I never write reviews, but I cannot wait to see what my skin will look like in a month.
ONLY skin care products I’ve ever LOVED!
Thank goodness! I tried it and LOVED the way my skin looked and felt IMMEDIATELY. Over the weeks, my skin has improved soooooo much. I have ruddy skin that flakes a lot. It simply doesn’t do it anymore with this regimen. I HIGHLY recommend it. I don’t feel the least bit guilty for the cost. VERY much worth it and the set has lasted nearly 8 months and I’m reordering today, just because I’m out of the serum (which BIG BONUS…slows facial hair growth!) The scent is a bit different, but you come to love that too. I’d give it 10 stars (and I’m NOT a fan of skin-care stuff) if you had 10!

I’m 44 and I am a minimalist when it comes to skin-care regimens and makeup. My sister had given me a sample of the Hope in a Jar and I’d loved the light feel and the texture of my skin when wearing it. So, I ordered the “Makeup Optional” only because it was a better deal than the cream alone. It seemed so pricey that I thought of sending it back for the first week, but that was too much work
