Getting Philosophical

My sister Tammy bought me a gift this year for Christmas. It was a Philosophy gift pack.
While I am not an avid user of this brand, I was anxious to try everything in the box.
It came with the following:

• The new Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser
• Hope in a Jar moisturizer
• Amazing Grace perfume
• Coconut Body Butter

Obviously first, I used the face cleanser. Nothing. I got out of the shower, and eh. Didn't really feel too much different. Didn't make my skin soft or glowing. But I decided to give it a week, just to see, maybe my skin needed to get used to it.
Next, I moisturized my face. I know this "Hope in a Jar" gets RAVE reviews, but for some reason, my face hates it. My eyes STING after putting this on and I never feel that it absorbs at all.
The perfume is a different story. I wish I could smell like this all the time. I feel very girly when I wear this, it's so light!
The body butter I think was a limited edition, but again, eh. It smelled pretty. I much rather spend the money on the Bliss, Lemon & Sage Body Butter

Just on a note the above: It's been over 3 months, and I'm still using the "Purity Made Simple" face cleanser, and like the dummy I am, I'm still waiting for something to happen. In the end, I say, don't spent $20 on it, spend $6 on Cetaphil face cleanser and it will do the same.

I will certainly not buy the "Hope in a Jar" again, it's probably better to always ask for a sample.

But I recommend you buy the perfume. They carry 3 different scents, Amazing Grace, Pure Grace, and Inner Grace so you can pick which one you like best!
