philosophy ‘purity made simple’ one step facial cleanser ($42.50) philosophy’s ‘purity made simple’ was created because it was our feeling that most cleansers were not getting the skin clean enough. Furthermore, we believe that you do not need a makeup remover and a toner to complete the cleansing process. Most cleansers are formulated to foam, push around, and hopefully rinse away dirt and makeup. ‘purity made simple’ was formulated to actually emulsify and dissolve dirt, embedded debris and makeup rather than creating a lot of foam without a lot of clean. You need this product if: You’ve tried a lot of cleansers but never found one you loved. You crave deeply cleansed skin. You want a cleanser that will multi-task for you (eye makeup remover, cleanser, toner). You wear a lot of makeup. Your skin is congested.

Ordered Sweet Tease and I think one of the MAC Graphic Garden palettes… which I’m not so excited about anymore lol… so will probably go and exchange it for something else soon as I go pick up the look-in-a-box.

I already ordered the Lancome brush set and a few items of the fall Nars collection (fast ride l/s & mekong e/s) since my Nordies has it in already. I really want the ZO set (I <3 the exfoliating polish) and the T3 dryer. I can’t wait to pick my stuff up this week!

I’m looking into Philosophy Microdelivery exfoliating wash since it’s at a discount for soooo much product… but I’ve never used it! Does anyone have any thoughts?

PapillonLady Avatar

Philosophy Microdelivery is DELICIOUS!!!! The exfoliating “beads” are incredibly smooth and micro-tiny, yet very effective, and there are billions of them. I just started using this, and I love it!!! The fragrance is clean and fresh. My skin looks so fresh and pretty after using it. I use it on my face, neck, chest, shoulders… you will love having the HUGH size offered at the “Anniversary”. 🙂 Hope this helps!

I wish Shu Uemura would do color palettes for Nordstrom’s anniversary. I think last year, they did almost the same set too. They don’t even have the depsea mist set this year!

Crazy for Make up Avatar

Got my MAC Graphic Garden, NARS palette and Bare Escentuals set.
Just a quick note, it appears that Bobbi Brown has a $75 brush set (I’m not sure if it is anniversary exclusive) that is not quite advertised yet, but the size is between the current travel size (short handle) and the regular long handle. Seems to be an awesome deal and finally something in between for regular use.
