I started using Philosophy about 2 months ago. Hope in a Tube. It’s for lips and eyes, which I don’t understand because how is lip balm applicable to sensitive eye areas? Plus, $33 for a half ounce tube of lip balm seems a bit steep. So I use this product strictly as an eye cream. It’s thick and creamy. Does it work? Yes indeedy! My eyes glow! In the dark! Ok, I don’t know. I feel better for using it though. And at first I thought it’d be a pricey habit, but really, it’s not if you consider what a small amount you need for the area around your eyes. One tube will last you a good long time.
Last week, I started using Hope in a Jar, which is a moisturizing face cream. So far, it feels good on my face, very light and non-greasy. In the morning, my face feels silky after washing and that scary just-woke-up look isn’t that scary. My skin looks pretty dewy fresh. Now about my hair… But I must warn you about the smell. Whew! Some people don’t mind it. I’m not one of them. My best description: it’s a cross between diesel and body odor. Even though I may smell like I’ve been sleeping under a mechanic’s armpit, the goodness I think it’s doing for my face makes it worth it. Ah the things we put up with in the name of beauty.

how much is the hope in a jar? winter kills my face
It’s $38 for Hope in a Jar (2oz.). I plan on ordering from philosophydirect next time because they have a decent deal. Saw it on an infomercial on Food Network in the morning – go fig. Anyway, they have a whole kit for $60 which is like way better.
I don’t mind the smell:) But I wonder if it’ll be moisturizing enough for winter; what do you think?
It’s a cream so I think it should be good enough. If you think you want something stronger in the winter, try Lancome. I haven’t tried it yet but my coworker who is a bigger product whore than I am (believe it or not) says it’s the best bang for your buck. But wait until a department store is giving away free makeup you may or may not need.
