Shop Handmade – Stocking Stuffers

Hi There! Today, I will bring to you another great recommendation for holiday gift for your love one. I know that there’s only 40 days left to Christmas and it’s never to late to start thinking about holiday gifts, since there’s only 10 days to Black Friday. I will give you my review of another holiday collection from Sephora. It’s the Philosophy Radiant Celebration from Sephora. It costs only $38.oo.

Description: The gift set contains a trio of radiance-enhancing skin care must-haves that is certain to give skin a healthy-looking glow. The package contains: 4 oz Purity Made Simple facial cleanser, 0.5 oz Renewed Hope In a Jar moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, and 4 oz Purity Made Simple deep-cleansing mask. The award-winning, highly effective Purity Made Simple facial cleanser tones and hydrates skin—melting away dirt, oil, and makeup for a balanced complexion. The groundbreaking Renewed Hope In A Jar features a triple blend of alpha hydroxy acids, three forms of hyaluronate, plus an Asian fruit extract to deliver an even longer-lasting glow and continuous hydration benefits. This unique formulation boosted the benefits with the addition of broad-spectrum SPF to help protect against harmful UVA/UVB rays, and ultimately, all visible signs of aging including increased pigmentation, poor texture, decreased density, and wrinkles. The deep-cleansing Purity Made Simple Mask transforms dull, tired skin into a luminous, spa-like glow. Skin is left radiant, supple, and nourished.  It’s fortified with mineral-rich, deep-cleansing sea salts to help naturally purify and detoxify, and marine extracts and vitamin E to smooth.

Ingredients: The ingredients for the cleanser include – Sodium Lauroamphoacetate that acts as a mild surfactant that gently cleanses the skin without irritation or residue; meadowfoam Seed Oil, which lightly hydrates and leaves skin comfortable, not pulled or tight; Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, which pulls dirt, debris, and makeup from the skin and dissolves them; and Twelve-Essential Oil Blend (Including Rosewood, Sandalwood, and Sage) that helps soften, soothe, and rejuvenate the skin.

Best for Skin Type: Normal, oily, combination, dry, sensitive.

How to Use: In order to use the cleanser gently massage a quarter-size amount onto a lightly damp face, and massage for 30 to 60 seconds; rinse and pat dry. The cleanser can be used in the morning and in the evening followed by appropriate treatment and moisturizer. In order to use the moisturizer,  just apply morning and evening after cleanser and treatment, avoiding the eye area. Massage a generous amount of the mask onto clean, dry skin until the gel turns white, then leave on for 60 seconds and rinse. The mask is gentle enough for daily use.

My Verdict: It’s gentle. I love the smell of this cleanser! Leaves my skin feeling soft. Usually, I have to be very careful about the cleanser because it can leave my skin feeling dry. I did not have any issue with this one. Overall, it works very well for combination skin. As for the moisturizer, it doesn’t look oily under makeup, and hydrates nicely. However without the makeup it can leave your skin a little greasy. I usually use it more during fall and winter when my skin is extra dry from the whether. However, I would not pay for the full price of the moisturizer though. I would especially not recommend this moisturizing to those with oily skin. Finally, the mask is quick, easy and truly deep cleans my face. It also leaves my skin soft and moisturized. You don’t have to use too much of the product a little goes a long way. Overall, my verdict is that this a great gift for someone who does not have oily skin. I like the cleanser and absolutely love the mask. I use the moisturizer during fall and winter when my skin is drier than normal.

Please let me know what you guys think about the product, and if you would recommend this to your friends. Hope you enjoy this blog as much as I love writing it.
