thanks to a couple of FABULOUS men i met in vegas, philosophy's "hope in a jar" was recommended.
i was pretty excited to try it. i had tried it on the back of my hands and found its texture to be smooth and easy to blend into my skin.
simultaneously, i purchased this for $26 cdn:
i was also quite excited to try it out, so upon arriving to my hotel room and preparing for bed, i did the full on face cleanse, followed by the moisturizer. feeling renewed and positive i was making significant and more adult and responsible changes to my face, i retired to bed.
at about 2:30, my face and jawline started itching. madly. it woke me up and i just figured that it was the onset of a zit coming because i get them there now.
in the morning, my entire face was on fire. red. sore. swollen. and when i looked closely, i had small water blisters in places along my jawline...the same places i had been scratching at the entire night.
ugh!
i was embarassed. it looked as if i'd been laying out in the sun for hours on end. the redness was exactly where i would have put the product, so obviously it missed my eyes and mouth area.
fortunately sephora was very understanding. i'm going to give them a massive shout out and say that their ease of return of OPENED product was absolutely appreciated. very great return policy i have to add. it was simple and there were no questions asked, save the question of whether i had someone assist me. uhm, nope. i just picked stuff out, hoping i was making the right decision.
so with a heavy heart and red blistered face, i sit here still wondering if i'll find a cleanser and moisturizer that works for me....
still waiting.
