If you are a Philosophy user... there is a FWP offer at drugstore.com

[EvaK]

I just ordered my Mama some Philosophy bath products for Mother's Day and was thrilled to see a fabulous Free with Purchase Gift (image inserted below). You need to spend $50 to qualify. The free gift is valued at $45, which is a really great deal. I am such a sucker for Free with Purchase Gifts!!

I can personally attest to the product called "The Present" Clear Makeup. I lurve it!♥ I haven't tried the other 2 products in the Free w/Purchase Gift, but "The Supernatural" Tinted Moisturizer looks divine! I love how it has SPF in it, and the lip gloss has SPF in it as well. I am thinking that I need it for this summer when I am lounging out at the pool. Ya think?

If you haven't tried Philosophy products you are definitely missing out. I use their skincare line for 80%+ of my skincare routine and absolutely adore it! Their bath products are top notch as well. I have one of their 3-in-1 perfumed shampoo, bath & shower gel (scent: Inner Grace) and adore it. I actually use it as a shampoo once in a while and it leaves my hair soft and shiny (and smells delightful). I usually use it as a shower gel and it has a ton of lather and only takes a tiny amount. My container has lasted me well over a year and it is about 2/3 gone.

They also have a Philosophy section in their Beauty.com department (although I am not positive that the Free w/Purchase Offer is good there, but it may be):

Here is a tip that I use. When I find something on Beauty.com that I am interested in purchasing, but would like more info I go to www.sephora.com and check out their reviews. They have a TON of them. Both stores carry a very similar product line (there are a few that don't over-cross, but in general they carry the same items).

I shop at both www.beauty.com as well as www.sephora.com, but I can tell you that beauty.com gets more of my money since they take PayPal. Gotta love a store that takes PayPal.

The only sad thing here is that I had them ship my Mama's gifts directly to her, and now she is gonna get the Free Gift. Evil Eva wants her to dislike it so that she will send it to me. LOL

BTW... I know almost everything there is to know about skincare products and makeup. I am a true junkie. If you have any questions at all please ask. They don't call me the Queen Diva for nothing.

*forwards this to Jordan*
Unfortunately, we JUST bought stuff from there a few weeks ago, so we don't need anything I totally want that FWP though! LOL!

[EvaK]

I was so envious of the fact that my FWP Gift was going to my Mama (with the bath products I bought her) that I had to go buy my own Philosophy yumminess -- so that I too could get this gift. I didn't order anything overly exciting: Purity Made Simple Facial Cleaner (I am about 1/2 way out and I will just store the new bottle until I need it) and I got some of the "When Hope is Not Enough" Serum. I love that stuff. I am not too keen on it's scent, but I am really odd about scents. It doesn't linger and it does such an awesome job that I choose to overlook the scent. It is THAT good!

I personally love their skin care line and their bath & body line the best. I haven't been overly impressed with their cosmetics line (with the exception of "The Present" Clear Foundation -- which is really more of a primer -- I adore it). I will stick with Smashbox, Stila, Too Faced, Urban Decay, and Tarte for my cosmetics instead of Philosophy. But seriously... IMO there is no better skincare program than Philosophy.

Now I can't wait for my box of goodies to get here. They are super fast in shipping to me. I usually get it within 2 business days.

I Amazing Grace. Might be time to stock up.

[4noisyboys]

I'm an Amazing Grace girl, and I love their skin care line. They did change the formulation on some of it awhile back though, and I'm not as crazy about all of it, but I do love it and use it! I'm weird about scents too, and I agree about the serum. If it lingered, I wouldn't be able to use it!

So...I'm 48, and I know my skin is in pretty good shape for my age. I have used Philosophy for about 5 years now!

I don't use their make up though. I think you have to find what works best, and I have a little of this and a little of that.

[EvaK]

I didn't care too much for Amazing Grace. It smelled too powdery to me. I absolutely love Inner Grace. Ya know what? I wish they would come up with different names for their scents. They are all so similar. I always get confused about which one I like. I actually have to look up a past order at beauty.com to see which one I purchased. Sometimes I have to run up to my shower to see what the name of my shower gel is, cuz I can never remember it. I do know it is a purdy shade of purple, whereas the other one I have in the shower (which I have no idea what the name is... could be Amazing Grace) is a milky white color. I very rarely use it at all. Once in a while I will allow Joy (my 11 year old) to use it. She thinks she is using Mama's fancy expensive shower gel when in all actuality I think the stuff stinks. LOL If she knew she would use it all up... and I can't have that.

I am also a huge fan of Lush Products. I use their Flying Fox Shower Gel on a regular basis as well. Oh... and I love their "Honey I Washed the Kids" soap. I have a few bath bombs that I received for Christmas pressies that I haven't used yet. Maybe I will take a nice beautifully scented bath tonight. I like to open a nice cold bottle of imported beer when I take a Lush bath. Heaven!! I would take a glass of wine, but I love to use my fancy Waterford wine glasses and I am terrified I will drop it and break it. They spend 95% of the time in my china cabinet collecting dust. But they sure do look mighty purdy in there with all of my other crystal and china. I just like to stand in front of my china cabinet and oogle. LOL Such purdy things!

I got the 3 in 1 shower gel in Amazing Grace and Inner Grace and the Purity Made Simple cleanser. Not sure how the cleanser will work on my acne prone skin, but I'll try.

[Leila]

I might well be the only person on the planet who's actually allergic to several of the philosophy products. Honestly, they're fabulous and I wish I could use them!! Purity actually made my skin worse. The rash I got from it was horrendous to deal with, and the reaction I had to their Big Mouth lip plumper. Um--never, ever again. No. Not a chance.

I love their Falling in Love fragrance though, and the 3 in 1s. Those are fab!! I love the caramel apple and Falling in Love. Andrew and Devin are big fans of the Waffle Cone and chocolatey scents.

I found their lip stuff to be very sticky and a bit too thick for my preferences. They have a very chemical taste to them too.
