Philosophy I Love Candy Corn & Trick or Treat reviews, skin care | (0)

There are approximately four teaspoons of sugar in a Milky Way candy bar. Worse yet, a pack of Starburst fruit chews contains about eight teaspoons of sugar and a bag of Skittles has about 11 teaspoons! Aw, I feel bad already that I posted that info. I mean, there's nothing wrong with Halloween indulgences! Just make sure to floss and hit up the dentist. ;) But if you want something sweet that won't rot your teeth, try Philosophy's new I Love Candy Corn. ...

I'm still on the search for an eye cream that doesn't irritate the skin around my eyes. Remember how I thought I had found one with Philosophy Eye Hope? Well, I still think that's a good eye cream for any normal person. But after a few weeks of use, it started to irritate my eyes. So I'm still on the hunt.

I Love: Philosophy Microdelivery Peel reviews, skin care | (0)
I have been using Philosophy Microdelivery Peel for years now. If I try other exfoliants, I always end up coming back to the Microdelivery Peel. It's a great product that leaves my skin smooth, glowy and never breaks me out. It's a two-step process that not only exfoliates the skin, but also delivers vitamin C and peptides to the skin.

To use, you gently massage the Resurfacing Crystals over clean, dry skin and ...

Eye Hope reviews, skin care | (0)
For the last month I have been testing out philosophy's new eye cream, eye hope ($48 at philosophy.com). Lauded as a breakthrough in eye creams, eye hope claims to significantly improve fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. It's a lightweight, multi-functional formula that's moisturizing and sensitive to the delicate skin around the eyes. Eye hope has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin, and light diffusing properties to help brighten skin tone. Frankly, I was just hoping that the skin around my eyes wouldn't break out in a red, itchy rash of eczema, which happens as a result of most eye ...
