Philosophy Review: Purity Made Simple, Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash, Hope in a Jar

I have been using the same skincare regiment for a little while now with Philosophy products. I thought I would share a review of these products with you. I have strange skin lol! It is oily and dry at the same time, I have large pores and I break out quite easily. It has been a constant challenge since I was a teenager to keep my breakouts under control and my skin looking decent. These three philosophy products have done me well but I am still on the search for that miracle product….if it even exists!!

Purity Made Simple ($26 CAD at Sephora):
I use this product morning and night. I really like the feel and it has a nice light pleasant smell. My face definitely feels clean after using it. The product does not seem harsh on my skin so I would say it is suitable for sensitive skin. I really do like this face wash but I haven't noticed much of a difference in the size of my pores. It did however keep breakouts to a minimum. A little bit goes a long way so it is worth the money.

Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash ($27 CAD at Sephora):
I only use this product at night. Because I have sensitive skin I found it to be too harsh to use twice a day (but some may be able to). It doesn't have much of a smell at all. My face feels clean and smooth after using this product. It is a little bit gritty (but in a good way). Again I didn't notice much of a difference in the size of my pores and there was no change in the oiliness of my skin. A little bit goes a long way so it is worth the money.

Hope in a Jar ($52 CAD a Sephora):
I usually just used this in the morning but sometimes at night too. It has a very light smell. It is a non-greasy formula and dries really fast. This is a good thing for me because of my oily skin. Although I like this product and it does provide moisture I find it to be a little expensive.






Overall I really like these Philosophy products because they are great for sensitive skin and they don't seem harsh. I think they would work really well on a lot of skin types. If you have complicated skin (like me!), I would still give these products a try. I am happy with them but just not blown away. I will be forever searching for that perfect skincare regiment! If you have any recommendations let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Review: Boscia Little Black Book

Photo credit: www.shoppingchannel.com

I am no expert on make-up but I have tried tons of skin care products so I thought I would share some reviews with you. I'll start out by saying that I have problem skin. I had very bad acne all throughout high school. The acne is a little better now but I have oily skin and large pores.

Thermal Black Cleanser: I love this cleanser. It warms up nicely as you work it into your skin. You only need to use a small amount and it foams up. All positives to say about this product. Nice light smell.

No Pores, No Shine T-Zone Treatment: I have notice a small different in my pore size. It is good to use as a primer before foundation.

Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel: Good for a very light moisturizer. Not good for dry skin or dry patches but excellent for oily skin. Nice light smell.

Luminizing Black Mask: This is an excellent mask. I use it once a week and I think it does a good job at purifying my face.


OVERALL: I would recommend this Little Black Book. It may seem a little pricy for the small bottles but a little goes a long way. The products have lasted me well.
