Philosophy - Purity made simple (skincare diary)

Hi everyone! This was previously requested by Melanie of Beauty meets Kawaii. :3 I love her tips & posts. Please don't forget to visit her blog.

I have been using this for less than a month. I previously received a sample of this and I bought this product when I used the sample up. I think it's about time to give this a product review.

I bought mine from Beauty Bar for 1,350Php or around $30.

No, I didn't consume this much product on my own - my sister also uses this cleanser.

The packaging is simple and clean. I quite like it.
back.

 The consistency is silky and milky.

The SA told me that this could be used on its own without water as a cleanser. I have tried it and I felt refreshed afterwards. 
It claims that it is a time saving product which - removes makeup, cleanses the skin, tones and moisturizes. Overall I would say that it pretty much does everything it claims. Although you may have to rub to get off water proof makeup. However, I use a separate makeup remover so I don't resort to doing that.

This cleanser has a mild-clean scent which I like - makes me feel relaxed after a long day and wakes me up in the morning. 

Directions: 

1. This product can be applied on dry face with wet hands or dry face and hands. I tend to splash my face with water first then I dispense a pea sized amount of this product.
2. I massage it to my face and leave it for a few minutes so it gets rid of makeup and dirt.
3. I rinse with lukewarm water. :3

PROS:
- Did not break me out.
- Safe for sensitive skin.
- Leaves my skin clean and supple.
- Does not sting or irritate my eyes.
- Does not dry out skin like other facial foams/soaps;
- Moisturizing.


CONS:
- Pricey.
- A pump would be very much appreciated.
- Might not remove stubborn waterproof eye makeup. 
- Does not have anti-aging benefits. :P

I will definitely buy this when it runs out. :3 I think the pros of this product outweighs the cons and are rather insignificant IMO. I highly recommend it to everyone.


Random pictures I took while I was on the North Luzon Expressway. Both photos were shot inside a moving vehicle. :3




Have a great week everyone! :3

Happy International woman's day + Update + Mini haul...? :3


"Woman is a miracle of divine contradictions."
- Jules Michelet, French Historian


“since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one”

Happy International woman's day ladies! =)

Update:

Mini Haul from Beauty Bar
Andrea Eye Q's Makeup Remover Gel, Canus Lait de Chevre goats milk& Philosophy's Purity made simple.

Last month I said I wouldn't buy makeup and I ended up with these.. :/

Talk about Epic Fail! I have forgotten to include some of the items too. :/ 
There are a variety of skincare, falsies and makeup items as you can see. I also got a box of Princess Lee lashes from one of my favorite sellers - http://wehaveit43.multiply.com/ . Canmake products as well as the other stuff were bought from Singapore. 

So far I am loving Nature Republic's Ice Jelly Primer in Cherry.

The lip balm and the primer both have SPF. I have been buying products with spf because it's starting to get  really hot in the Philippines.

I have included links to online shops because I often get asked where I buy the products I post about. :)

I'm leaving you with a picture of my breakfast. :3


I will be posting reviews soon. Please let me know if you wish to have any of the items above reviewed. Thank you! =3
