Figgy is Insane: Philosophy Hope In a Jar

Author: Lainey

Ok, first of all, I feel like I need to state that Figgy... well, she's ALWAYS wrong.  I don't say that to be mean, it's just a fact.

I've used Philosophy's Hope in a Jar for 3+ years.  I use it morning and night, except in the winter months when I switch to Philosophy's The Miracle Worker for the nighttime application, because I need a heavier cream when it's so dry outside.   I love the way it goes on and my skin absorbs the Hope in a Jar cream and doesn't feel greasy, but it feels saturated.  I'm not sure how to explain that.  It feels like my face is cool and damp, but it doesn't feel like the moisturizer is sitting on top of my skin waiting to slide off my face.  Does that help? 

Like Spreading A Melted Spork On Your Face: Philosophy's Hope in a Jar

One of the things I love about Nordstrom's is their happy willingness to give out free samples at their beauty counters. Did you know you can ask for a small sample of your favorite perfume, and they'll happily give you one? Yes! It's like a treasure trove for cheap suckers like myself. Just make sure you don't go in there too often or the salesladies will look at you weird. Ahem.

On one of my strolls through their beauty department I found a stack of little samples of Philosophy's Hope in a Jar moisturizing lotion, and I picked up a couple. It's the #2 best rated moisturizer on Sephora and I'd been wanting to check it out for a while. So I was excited.
