Friday Favorites!

Published by trudee at 12:16 am under Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! I am SO GLAD it’s Friday, this week has been so stressful, and I am ready for a break. I plan to start my Christmas baking tomorrow! I am so excited. Thank you all for sharing your recipes with me! I found some great ones, and have to decide which I will add to my collection. :D

Today’s favorite has nothing to do with stamping or paper crafting. It is, however, one of the most favorite things in my life.

I present to you: philosophy (<—click to go to their home page) Calling all philosophy girls!!! :D

I think it’s been about 4 years since I first discovered this fabulous company. I used to be a Mary Kay consultant, and when I decided to quit, I was looking for a new skincare regime. I was watching QVC one day, and saw the company founder of philosophy, Christina Carlino (may she live forever) give a presentation of these products. I was so taken by her knowledge and the science behind the product, that I decided to give it a try.

purity hope

I started out by purchasing the purity cleanser and hope in a jar moisturizer. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had found my new skincare company. The purity cleanser easily removes all of your makeup, even your mascara and eyeliner. It’s so gentle, and doesn’t burn your eyes! I also love that it does not dry out your skin–when you finish washing your face, it feels soft and clean, never tight. The hope in a jar moisturizer is often described as “a glass of water for your skin”. I couldn’t agree more. It just quickly absorbs into my skin, and then it leaves you with the most beautiful healthy glow!

I also use the following products from the skincare line:

  • hope in a tube (eye cream)
  • vitamin C microdelivery peel kit (OMG…this is the most AMAZING product!!)
  • microdelivery exfoliating facial wash
  • booster serum and booster caps (makes your skin feel like silk. Helps with the fine lines and wrinkles)
  • the present
  • when hope is not enough (night replenishing cream)

I can honestly tell you that I have used almost everything from their line. (Haven’t used the acne products) These that I have listed are my favorites that I can’t live without.

amgrace

And now, the fragrances of philosophy. Ohhhhh the fragrances! I own almost every single one of these, as well, LOL! But, I have to tell you, that my signature fragrance is amazing grace. It is the most beautiful fragrance–ultra clean, fresh, and the tiniest bit of floral. It is femininity defined. No matter where I go, I always get a compliment. “You smell so good!” I love to receive that compliment! :) I use the spray fragrances, roll on fragrances, body creams, hand creams, and 3-in-1 bubble bath/shower gel/shampoo. These scents are all light…not heavy, overpowering scents that make you want to open a window to get fresh air, LOL!

The other fragrances that I love, and use depending on my mood:

  • falling in love (warm, very romantic, with a hint of blackberry)
  • baby grace (like pure grace with a slightly sweeter, comforting scent. Like the head of a newborn baby. seriously.)
  • pure grace (an ultimate clean scent that smells like soap and water. Like a clean white tshirt dried on a clothesline on a spring day)

Some other items I use from philosophy are:

  • supernatural airbrush foundation
  • supernatural lip glosses
  • kiss me lip glosses
  • hot salt bath scrubs
  • many varieties of the 3-in-1 shower gels (cinnamon buns, pumpkin pie, lemon custard, sugar cookie, margarita, lime, coconut…)

I purchase my philosophy from QVC. Their prices are the best I have found, excellent customer service, and they often have really great specials!If you have any specific questions about the products, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer you!

I know it’s so hard to take a leap of faith on skincare and fragrance without trying it, so I’d like to share some samples with one lucky reader! :D
Please leave a comment on this post if you’d like to be in the drawing for a few samples of my favorite philosophy products!

I’ll randomly draw a name on Sunday, OK? Thanks for stopping by, and good luck!

Q & A

Karen asks:

Could I ask a favor of you, can you tell me if any of the Philosophy products contain either of these two ingredients?
Cocamisopropyl betaime (CAPB)
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)
I have seen her on QVC many times and since learning I have a severe allergy to these products that is affecting my eyesight, I am looking to find something and this sounds wonderful.
I always look to my SCS friends for referrals on products, we girls must spread the word when something is this great.

Thanks

Hi Karen! If you hop on over to the philosophy website, you can select whatever product you are interested in. Towards the bottom there is a tab that lists the ingredients of that product! HTH!

Broni asks:

Yes, it sounds wonderful, Trudee, but does it REVERSE aging????? Will I be able to wake up 10 years younger the next day?? Put my name in the drawing….I can use whatever help I can get!!! THANKS for the give-away and the advice!!

Hi Broni!! YES!! it does!! I am actually 64 years old!! Don’t I look fabulous??!!! teehee

TracyK asks:

I’m totally intrigued by the vitamin C microdelivery peel kit. Iwill have to check these out on QVC. My skin is ultra sensitive. Have you had any problems with the peel kit? Love, love, love your blog! Thanks for sharing your beautiful and unique creations.

Hi Tracy! philosophy is formulated for ultra sensitive skin, as Christina has said hers is extremely sensitive. The Vitamin C peel is very gentle. The results from one treatment will astound you! You really only “need” to use it once a week. And it smells like a fresh orange…yum :)

Paula Kay asks:

I would love to try something to help my old dry skin out. I have never done QVC can you tell me where to look??? Thanks for such a delightful blog. I always try to come and visit.

Hi Paula! Just click on the QVC link in my post, (in blue print) and it will bring you right to the philosophy section of the site! :D

    Also, thank you for sharing your creativity here….it always inspires me!

  9. # Annon 07 Dec 2007 at 5:53 am

    I LOVE Philosophy! I too have been using their products for a few years now. We live in a very rural area, so thank heavens for QVC. Auto delivery is a wonderful thing! Hope in a Jar has to be my favorite, although I also love Purity, the microdelivery wash, the booster serum & caps. Well, like you I just love all of their products!

  10. # Jackieon 07 Dec 2007 at 5:57 am

    I’m needing a great skincare product line…and haven’t been able to find one that I just LOVE…I would really like to try this out…it sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!

  11. # Mandy Slackon 07 Dec 2007 at 6:05 am

    I would love a chance to try this out! I have actually asked Santa to bring me some new facial creams and what not, maybe I’ll have to put a bug in his ear for this brand.

  12. # Lynetteon 07 Dec 2007 at 6:13 am

    I’ve never heard of Philosophy, but your praise of it has sure gotten me interested! I will check it out for sure! Thanks for the give-away!

  13. # Cheryl Simson 07 Dec 2007 at 6:27 am

    I used to be a Mary Kay gal too!! I am now using a cosmetic line from Costco, but am not totally happy with it. I have watched the Philosphy spots on QVC with interest but never took the leap of faith on it, so would love some samples to try. I am very funny about scents so could be afraid of ordering them. Thanks for the chance to get some.

    Yes, it sounds wonderful, Trudee, but does it REVERSE aging????? Will I be able to wake up 10 years younger the next day?? Put my name in the drawing….I can use whatever help I can get!!! THANKS for the give-away and the advice!!

  15. # Judyon 07 Dec 2007 at 6:38 am

    Thanks for the recommendation. It’s nice to buy a product that someone loves. I don’t like a heavy spray….just fresh and clean so these sound great. Enter me in your sample drawing.

  16. # Wendyon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:02 am

    I also LOVE the Philosophy products. The microdelivery peel is fantastic, it has become my Sunday night ritual. The foundation is amazing, not heavy and gives great coverage. The fragrance line is unlike anything else on the market today. I am definitely a Philosophy Girl.

  17. # Debbie E.on 07 Dec 2007 at 7:03 am

    Thanks for the chance to try these products, I have seen them in the stores but never purchased any. Your glowing recommendations have me anxious to try some!

  18. # LIANE TATUMon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:27 am

    Wow Trudee
    Count me in on the fun ! The product sounds great ….Why is it that everytime you showcase an item on your blog ,No matter what it is ,I feel I must have it ! LOL You should be in marketing and advertising ! Thanks again Liane

  20. # Louiseon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:50 am

    I would love to try this company. I am looking for a new skin care regime. Thanks for giving someone a chance to try it.

  21. # Julie Lon 07 Dec 2007 at 8:08 am

    Thanks for sharing about these products. I am looking for a new fragrance especially since my Mary Kay frangrance was discontinued. Would love to try new skin care products as well.

  22. # Michelle Ron 07 Dec 2007 at 8:10 am

    Okay….you’ve really sold me on these. I’m going to their website right now to check out the skin care products. Thanks for sharing the information with us! :-)

  23. # Mary Kon 07 Dec 2007 at 8:11 am

    I recently started using Philosophy skincare products too and I couldn’t be happier. My skin looks better than it has in years. Hope in a Jar has such a light, almost fluffy consistency that it seems to almost melt right into your skin without being greasy. I absolutely love it. So far I’ve only tried Purity Made Simple and the Hope in a Jar, but I may have to start experimenting with some of their other products too.

  24. # Esteron 07 Dec 2007 at 8:12 am

    I have to get my hands on this stuff!!! It sounds amazing.

    Thanks for letting us know about this and for the wonderful look into your
    inspirations and creations.

  25. # Mendion 07 Dec 2007 at 8:24 am

    I would love to try some new skin care products. I currently use Clinique and have been wondering if my skin has gotten too used to it. Thanks!

  26. # well said cardson 07 Dec 2007 at 8:35 am

    I would love to try some of these skin care products. I use Cetaphil most of the time because it does not have any perfumes.

  27. # Barb Hendricksonon 07 Dec 2007 at 8:37 am

    I found Philosophy about 6 months ago, but I only use the bath products. I LOVE the fact that I can use one product for everything….including washing my hair. Love Amazing Grace and always get compliments from people when I wear it.

    Thanks for Friday Favorites!

  28. # Valerieon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:11 am

    Mmmm they all sound so yummy! Seriously, with that glowing review I’ll have to try out at least the moisturizer! Thanks Trudee!

  29. # Lesaon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:15 am

    Oprah likes this stuff so it’s gotta be good! I need to win the lottery. First you girls make me buy every stamp product on the planet now this. Will it ever end? I don’t want it to end. Pick me!

  30. # Sandyon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:17 am

    I too am looking for some new products. Have been trying out a very expensive line of products and I’m not sure they’re worth the money. Would love to give this a try!

  31. # Viv (VivLyn)on 07 Dec 2007 at 9:25 am

    These products sound fabulous! I use Mary Kay and can’t say I’m sold on it, but it’s the best I’ve found so far. Thanks for sharing!

  32. # Angieon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:25 am

    I don’t use skin care products like I should, but you make these sound so yummy!!! I would love to try these!

  33. # Leanneon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:29 am

    Wow - your write up is so yummy, I’m going to have to try this product line. Thanks so much for sharing (not just today, but every day that you blog)!!

  34. # LisaCon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:38 am

    I’ve had such a hard time finding facial cleansers that I like. I’m definitely going to have to try this brand. How very nice of you to offer up a sample!

  35. # karenon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:43 am

    I saw these products on Oprah..would love to give them a try!!

  36. # Karynon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:54 am

    I love to find a new company too - I need a good care regimine and scents - OH MY - I love the descriptions you privided - can’t wait to check them out for real!

  37. # Suzanneon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:55 am

    Thanks for the offer Trudee. I have a cupboard full of skincare products that I have bought and not liked, so a trial would be great. I am looking for a new line (hopefully a bit less expensive than Chanel), so this is great timing!

  38. # Lauren Vincitorioon 07 Dec 2007 at 10:09 am

    I’ve wondered about these products, too, and your review was very informative. Thank you!!

  39. # Nancy P. (happistamper)on 07 Dec 2007 at 10:15 am

    I’m so glad you talked about the Philosophy product line today. After reading your post, I think I will have to give them a try. I have been eying their products for a while now, but just haven’t made that first purchase. I have often caught a glimpse of segments on QVC, but just haven’t taken that leap of faith to try them out. I would love a chance to try some samples….I’m so curious about their products! Have a great weekend!!

  40. # Amyon 07 Dec 2007 at 10:28 am

    I use the Hope in a jar and I LOVE it, but I haven’t tried any of their other products (not sure why now that I think about it). Thanks for the goodies!

  41. # Rosellaon 07 Dec 2007 at 10:31 am

    Thank you so much for your recommendation. I will definitely go check out their site. It’s great to have a personal recommendation.

  42. # Adairon 07 Dec 2007 at 10:31 am

    I have never heard of this line. They all sound nice…I am especially interested in the frangrances. Amazing Grace sounds…amazing!

  43. # Jennifer Son 07 Dec 2007 at 10:35 am

    gosh - the names alone are enough to get me hooked!! :) I enjoyed reading through the definitions on each of the products that you listed. Sounds so intriguing!! I haven’t really treated myself to any fragrances in so long or any skin products either now that you mention it. This line sounds interesting. I think that I will go check it out. thanks for the reminder that we need to take care of ourselves as well as others.

  44. # Melissa C.on 07 Dec 2007 at 10:41 am

    Wow, how nice of you to share your favorite things with someone. I usually don’t wear perfume but “Pure Grace” sounds wonderful. I love QVC and will have to go and check out this line. Again, thank you for your wonderful blog, I read it everyday and am very inspired by your talent and style.

  45. # Jessica S.on 07 Dec 2007 at 10:48 am

    I’ve heard of this company and yes, I have admired that perfume before- YUMMY! I would love to get into this new line as I’m shopping for a new skincare regime lately. Thanks for the chance to enter!

  46. # Simoneon 07 Dec 2007 at 10:56 am

    Thanks for the product knowledge. I have used the Present! It is nice when you don’t really want a heavy foundation on. It is my favorite. I have not tried anything else from this line so please sign me up for the sample drawing.
    Thanks!

  47. # Lisa C.on 07 Dec 2007 at 11:01 am

    wow, thanks, I think I need to try the amazing grace. I hate perfumes that are so overpowering you are gagging when someone walks by wearing them. You know the ones that get into the elevator with 20 other people and everyone is ready to die when they get out of the elevator..lol. I want something light, that still smells nice!

    Loved hearing about this!

  48. # lilianon 07 Dec 2007 at 11:08 am

    thanks for sharing these products with us. i am going to have to go in and look at their fragrances, i have been looking for a new fragance for the new year… :)

  49. # Glorieon 07 Dec 2007 at 11:23 am

    Would love to try these out. Thanks for sharing. I hope your holiday baking goes well.

  50. # Carolyn Sharkason 07 Dec 2007 at 11:29 am

    Wow, these products sound great, and the perfumes sound absolutely YUMMY! I have been looking for a new skin care regime, I was using Mary Kay and I am no longer happy with it, plus, I lost my consultant. Would love to try these out.

  51. # Jennion 07 Dec 2007 at 11:31 am

    Oh my I {HEART} philosophy (so if you pick my # choose someone else)

    I can’t belive how much better my skin is - I swear by the Microdelivery wash - I can’t be without it…

    getting old is expensive :)

  52. # Debbie (DeborahLynneS)on 07 Dec 2007 at 12:13 pm

    How SWEET of you to share some samples!!! I have bought some of the fragrances from Philosophy (from QVC) as gifts for my sister-in-laws. They just loved them!!!
    I have never tried the skin care line– my usual is a bar of Cetafil and Oil of Olay!!! They sound marvelous!!!

  53. # Fran McCllintockon 07 Dec 2007 at 12:25 pm

    These sound interesting - would like to try them. I’m fairly pleased with the products I use now, but there is always the chance that something else is better.

  54. # mary pon 07 Dec 2007 at 12:39 pm

    I wouldn’t mind trying something new. The products sound wonderful. After years of using the same thing, it’s good to make a change. Count me in!

  55. # Sandy Hon 07 Dec 2007 at 12:41 pm

    I have used Mary Kay for years but am not happy with the new Timewise line and would be very happy to try a new skin regimine. How nice of you to share.

  56. # Nancy Annon 07 Dec 2007 at 12:41 pm

    I’m game! Thanks - I’d love to try the products.

    Wow! I love to hear about new products, and your enthusiasm has encouraged me to try them! I love your descriptions of the products - in fact, that is mostly what has made me decide to give them a try! Thanks!

    Connie

  58. # Sandra Poarchon 07 Dec 2007 at 1:13 pm

    I used to use Mary Kay about a hundred years ago and since then nothing but soap. I am just now starting to see some horrible signs of aging and I am desperate to find something to help slow down that clock. Not sure if I could ever afford this product but I sure would love to try it.
    Thanks for the wonderful info. Enjoyed it almost as much as your art.

    Sandra

  59. # Tracy K.on 07 Dec 2007 at 1:16 pm

    I’m totally intrigued by the vitamin C microdelivery peel kit. Iwill have to check these out on QVC. My skin is ultra sensitive. Have you had any problems with the peel kit? Love, love, love your blog! Thanks for sharing your beautiful and unique creations.

  60. # Kim L.on 07 Dec 2007 at 1:27 pm

    I’ve been on a hunt for a good eye cream - I will look into this line of products!

  61. # Lyndaon 07 Dec 2007 at 1:53 pm

    Trudee ~ I have been on the lookout for a new facial regime. Thanks for the info and the recommendation. Merry Christmas!

  62. # Melissaon 07 Dec 2007 at 2:12 pm

    oooh-you’ve got my attention! Those fragrances sound perfect, I LOVE the smell of a baby!

  63. # Michelle Schissleron 07 Dec 2007 at 2:13 pm

    Oh My Gosh..I am a Philosophy girl too. My mother in law bought me some about 5 years ago and ever since then…I have been using their yummy stuff. I love The Present and I just got the Candy Cane gift set for my Birthday. Amazing Grace is AWESOME that is my Mother in Laws favorite..I bought her a really nice gift set and she agrees…QVC has the best prices. So glad you spotlighted them, so more people can try out this AWESOME brand.

  64. # Nancyon 07 Dec 2007 at 2:30 pm

    Philosophy is wonderful stuff! I’m an Amazing Grace girl, too! You really need to try Inner Grace. It layers beautifully with any of the “Grace” products, but I love it on its own too.

    Great giveaway!!

  65. # Hollyon 07 Dec 2007 at 2:35 pm

    Thanks for the recomendation! I am not happy with my current skin moisturizer, so your post was at the perfect time. I also love to try out new fragrances!

  66. # nancy littrellon 07 Dec 2007 at 2:41 pm

    No wonder Trudy you always looks so clean, fresh and outdoor natural in your pics. The products sound awesome. TFS

  67. # Nellieon 07 Dec 2007 at 3:13 pm

    I would love to try the new skin care products. Hope you have awonderful weekend.

  68. # Lauraon 07 Dec 2007 at 3:31 pm

    Wow, what a great review and very thourough. The fact that the fragrance line is called Grace and I have developed an affinity for anything called Grace (granddaughter’s name) and I may just well be hooked!

    thanks for sharing

  69. # Cathy Whitemanon 07 Dec 2007 at 3:51 pm

    I love Philosophy. I often buy the Christmas specials (like “The Gingerbread Man” and “Cinnamon Buns”) for friends for Christmas. Great Friday Favorite. Their scents are irresistible.

  70. # Susannkon 07 Dec 2007 at 4:03 pm

    Oh I love Philosophy Pure Grace Perfume. It’s my absolute favorite. I haven’t tried any of the other stuff in the line but have wanted too. Please enter me in your drawing.

  71. # estheron 07 Dec 2007 at 4:24 pm

I do enjoy your blog and your inspiration and your wonderful art, keep it up!! Blessings for this holiday season for you and your family…esther

  72. # Paula Kayon 07 Dec 2007 at 4:49 pm

    I would love to try something to help my old dry skin out. I have never done QVC can you tell me where to look??? Thanks for such a delightful blog. I always try to come and visit.

  73. # Julie Hugheson 07 Dec 2007 at 5:27 pm

    I also love philosophy amazing grace. DH sprays it as an air freshener b/c he loves it too. I definiteyl want to try baby grace after your description. I also would like to try the skin care. I use bare escentuals for makeup, and am happy but I love philosophy and may have to give it a try after your sales pitch.

  74. # bevigrams7on 07 Dec 2007 at 6:23 pm

    I would like to try some of the samples, please pick me.
    Your work is fantastic, I always look forward to your new inspirations.

  75. # Corion 07 Dec 2007 at 6:25 pm

    Oh~ I would love to find something that would work well on my skin! Honestly it seems as though I’ve tried so many, but not this one! Thanks for offering to share!

  76. # Karenon 07 Dec 2007 at 6:55 pm

    Could I ask a favor of you, can you tell me if any of the Philosophy products contain either of these two ingredients?
    Cocamisopropyl betaime (CAPB)
    Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)
    I have seen her on QVC many times and since learning I have a severe allergy to these products that is affecting my eyesight, I am looking to find something and this sounds wonderful.
    I always look to my SCS friends for referrals on products, we girls must spread the word when something is this great.

    Thanks

  77. # Lisa Bon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:00 pm

    Yummy! I have never tried the Philosophy products, but would love to! Thanks for this fun giveaway!

  78. # Dawnon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:13 pm

    I’ve never tried any of the Philosophy products but I’ve been curious. Love the packaging.

  79. # Marilyn Clineon 07 Dec 2007 at 7:38 pm

    Don’t include me in the drawing - just wanted to say that I, too, am a Philosophy girl through and through - my shower is filled with many different 3-in-1 shower gels, 2 different scents of salt scrubs, and 3 different hair conditioners - purity made simple is next to the sink, and my different moisturizers are in the cabinet! And I LOVE all the big 32 oz sizes of products that are available from QVC. Last year, EVERYONE on my Christmas list received Philosophy product - men and women!

  80. # Amy Bell (amysings)on 07 Dec 2007 at 8:18 pm

    Oooo, always on the lookout for something gentle enough for my red-head skin! I would love to try this out!

  81. # Julieon 07 Dec 2007 at 8:20 pm

    Wow!!! I’m always on the lookout for great skin products! A sample would be excellent! Thanks!

  82. # Eloiseon 07 Dec 2007 at 8:53 pm

    You have won me over with Philosophy. I am going to check it out!! Thanks!

  83. # Laurieon 07 Dec 2007 at 9:18 pm

    Hi Trudee, I love Philosophy too. I just have not tried as many of there products. You have given some info on some that I would now like to try. Have you ever tried the gingerbread man salt scrub? That is one product that I really like for a total body exfoliation. Besides that I have tried purity and hope in a jar. That is about it. Take care.

    I am very interested in these products as I use Mary Kay but can not afford it without the discount I will no longer be getting. What is the average cost…. of say a bottle of moisturizer (on QVC)?

    How cool to see this onyour blog! I love philosophy!! I just bought another giant bottle of “purity” and some more of my fave perfume “falling in love”. I’m also a QVC addict! Watch it all the time when I’m home. Hey, have you seen Patty..she looks so thin all of a sudden!! LOL!!

    oh yes, I forgot to add the microdelivery peel is really great, like you said!! I have a problem with the “hope in a bottle” though. The smell is strange to me.

    Hi,

    I can’t wait to try out the fragrances! They sound wonderful! It’s hard to find a clean and light fragrance that doesn’t overpower you and everyone else.

    Oh wow, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some Philosophy products!!! I tried Purity once, and I can’t remember why I didn’t buy more! I did really like it…and I’ve heard the other products are really good, too! Oh, may luck be with me! :)
    Have a great weekend!

    I’ve always wondered about this line. It’s great to hear someone we ‘know’ that loves it! I am going to check into it….unless I win the sample! If so, then I can try it before I buy it! heheheh!
