So last Friday, I went to the Macy's Beauty Event at Philosophy. I wanted to try somethings and to replenish the skin care line I was running out of. I wanted to attend the event for the freebies and to try out products I have been eyeing. I have been using the Make-Up Optional Kit for a little over 3 months and so far I love it. I still use my Oil Olay lotion w/ sunscreen in the morning but I use the Philosophy cream at night. There are three weeks worth of the Microdelivery Peel in the MO kit but I just wanted something that could really help with the unclogging, I just felt that the Microdelivery was more of a scrub- it polishes very well don't get me wrong but I have heard the Oxygen Peel is better and lately my skin has been a little congested especially during that time of the month.
So I picked up:
the oxygen peel
in-home oxygen peel for all skin types
the oxygen peel is a two-step skin rejuvenation treatment for problem skin. this unique, long-standing customer favorite bathes the skin in oxygen while rapidly exfoliating, smoothing and hydrating the skin. use of this peel will help relieve congested and blocked pores, buffer fine lines, minimize the appearance of large pores and improve overall skin texture resulting in skin that is radiantly clear and beautifully bright. our oxygen peel kit include 10 enzyme capsules and a 2 oz. jar of oxygen cream for a total of 10 treatments.
on a clear day
superwash for oily skin (I can't use products with SA or BP because it makes my pimples turn brown)
on a clear day was formulated as a super effective daily treatment wash for problem skin. on a clear day super wash helps prevent pores from clogging while soothing and calming the skin and was designed to minimize oil and wipe away dirt and grime that can cloud a complexion. it is the cleanser of choice if you are young and fighting off oil and blemishes.
you need this product if...
you have oily skin
you are young and want one product that does it all
you want to periodically cleanse with something to help reduce oil
you like a squeaky clean complexion
I usually use an old toothbrush to exfoliate my lips but I decided to buy kiss me exfoliating lip scrub after the lady tested out on me. Darn sales people.
Description: everyone craves baby soft, baby smooth, natural looking baby pink lips. enriched with natural butters and oils, kiss me exfoliating lip scrub was created to help keep your lips in impeccable kissing condition by exfoliating dull, dry, flaky skin for a super-soft, super-smooth result. kiss me exfoliating lip scrub is ideal for anyone with dry, flaky lips that seeks smoothness and moisture.

you seek an instant and dramatic lip makeover
kiss me, high emollient lip ointment ---in pink
kiss me was formulated as a high density lip salve for people who are in search of the ultimate lip balm. kiss me is known for its super smoothing, softening benefits. with kiwi, vitamin e, and sweet almond, you are guaranteed world-class kissable lips.
I am a junkie and all the things below refer to me
you need this product if...
you prefer lip balm in a tube
you are into the natural look
you suffer from dry, cracked lips
it's finals week and you can't stop biting your lips
you are a lip balm junkie
I am not really into foundation...so the make-up artist used this on my skin, who would have thought: the present
clear makeup skin perfector for day and night
look like you have perfect skin, even if you don't with the present. the present allows you to play beautifully during the day as a colorless skin perfector that camouflages fine lines and wrinkles as well as pores and gives the skin a flawless airbrushed appearance. the present also allows you to sleep beautifully in the evening as its unique formula helps seal in your treatment products and moisturizers, provides natural antibacterial benefits all while providing a beautiful, natural airbrushed finish. the present clear makeup is a must-have item in the philosophy lineup.
you need this product if...
you want to pave the surface of your skin for your foundation or powder
you want a protective layer to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out
you want to look 100% better, wearing 50% less makeup
you enjoy an oil free moisturizer
your skin is oily or prone to break-out
you do a lot of air travel and need to seal in your moisturizer
I love each and every product I bought plus the following free gifts that I received:
Amazing Grace, Lotion and Body Wash - it smells so clean, not soap and water but very com fronting and not over powering
Pure Grace, Lotion - It is more softer than Amazing and just has a hint of fragrance
I received smaller samples of Eye/Lip Hope in a Tube, Hope in a bottle, and purity (all in the Make-Up Optional Kit)
The Shampoo and Conditioner
Liz Carine
Fred Perry

I so frickin' jealous!!! Great post!
1Thanks!!! It was a treat for me........
2I bet - good for you! We all need a treat sometimes

4Wow, that sounds like a great trip!

5I will let you know, so far its been a week and I've noticed a big difference with oil. I look like I fry chicken most days-so I use oil blotting sheets. But, with the Present its very good. I love the Oxygen Peel, my skin glows. Sad, I watched QVC last night because Philosophy was on and I wanted to see the creator talk about the products. I didn't know her products are home versions of the ones she created for derm offices. I also love the cleanser b/c its not drying or sting my eyes - a big plus.
6Sounds like a lot of good stuff! Good to know it's working for ya so far
7Sounds like you got a pretty good haul! I've been eying The Present for a while, because my face is Greasy McOily and I am on a never-ending quest for mattifying products...
8Bailaoragaditana, so far so good, the real test is the summer and when the weather changes. I sometimes go to the bathroom and take a toliet liner and I have to just press my face in it. Sad, but it's horrible. The sales lady did tell me, with my combo skin and the oil - I will age well. LOL
9bella - I do the exact same thing with the toilet liner! That's funny!
10It's the frying chicken look.
11In 5th grade I was known as "the girl with the shiny complexion" UGH!
12Sometimes I think the oil migrates to my eyes. I will not comment on your nick name. Dam* children.
13It's truly a curse! LOL!
14i am curious to see how the the present
15clear makeup skin perfector for day and night work out for u... great haul! love philosophy products
Sounds great.

Oh, thanks for a great review. I have always loved Philosophy and now I am dying to get my hands on the oxygen peel and the present. I actually have read wonderful things about their retinol product- Help Me- which was sold out a while ago. I need to finish off another product I have and then that will be my next buy. Their whole line is fantastic. I'll have to try and catch the QVC thing sometime, too. thanks
17Lots of good stuff
18Oooo.. the oxygen peel sounds great! I have combination skin as well. Let us know how these work for you; I'm very interested... Looking forward to going to a MAC event next weekend... hopefully I'll have some stuff to share with all of you.
19Oooh, good haul! I'm jealous - you should let us all know how each thing worked for you
20This all sounds great - for some strange reason, I have never actually bought anything from Philosophy so maybe it's time to start! Apparently there is a Philosophy foundation that is supposed to be incredible - i think it's called something airbrush. The Present sounds like a present I'd like to buy myself too!
21Missy, that is the name of the foundation, this is my first real purchase of Philosophy Line, I started with the skin care and I love the Oxygen Mask.
22Congrats on the great purchase! I hope these really help.
