Philosophy 'hope in a jar'

Hope in a  jar, what a name to live up to !! Hope is exactly what my skin needed over the past 9 months !! Finding a moisturiser that didn't break my skin out, was becoming next to impossible. I tried oil free, water based lotions, matifying potions, you name it i tried it, from pharmacy to high end, nothing had worked for me. Then I received this as a gift from my lovely mammy, she knew about my skin woe's, and picked this up in Sephora in Boston while she was there. At first i must admit that i was very wary to try it, because it was a cream, and if you read my previous post on skincare, you will know that my skin was oily, spotty and dry all at the same time, so i was terrified of getting a breakout!!!

So a couple of months ago, i had grown fed up of not using a moisturiser, and decided, to hell with it ill try this 'hope in a jar', it had better live up to its name. When i opened it and had a look inside, it looked fab, really illuminating and such a light whipped texture. It felt even better on my skin, fabulous light weight consistency, my skin just soaked it all in instantly, so no residue left on my skin and it has a lovely light smell. Also a nice light base before makeup. And let me tell you, a little goes a long long way. I didn't have to use much at all to cover my face and neck. This is how much i use to give me the coverage for my face and neck.

I used it the first day in the morning and then again that night before bed. The next morning on inspection my skin had a really lovely glow off it, and felt really smooth. After using it twice a day for about a week, i am happy to report that i had no breakouts and my skin felt and looked brilliant. I have been using it now since the end of January, and i cannot believe how much i am getting out of a 2oz tub. I have not even got half way through the jar, and thats including the 3 or 4 times himself has knicked it and taken man size portions out of the jar.

I would most definitely recommend this product, its something that i will definitely be sticking with, and has me now wanting to try some more of their products. Philosophy is available to buy online at their own website, it comes in different size tubs, this 2oz tub is $38, and is also available on Amazon.co.uk for £22.40..... I LOVE IT
