As for the exfoliant thing, I also use a philosophy product called the microdelivery kit and it has a jar or citrus scented exfoliating crystals,the size of sand, and you rub that into your face and then put the activating liquid and that is the treatments and cleansers I use for my face.

If you are maybe looking for something different, try the purity in the foam, I kind of like it because I feel like it cleans a bit better than the original purity.

I too love Purity! Has anybody had any experience with it going "off" though? I bought a 3oz from Sephora a few months back and it just started smelling different....

I noticed that too. thats partly why i switched to the foam. the new ones seem to be liquidyer and smell a bit different than the classic one. I heard that was because philosophy was sold to coty and since then the quality of the products have slowly been decreasing. I got a bottle of amazing grace and it smells different too. It makes me sad because i love philosophy so much and now the quality has dropped.

I bought the small philosophy one at Ulta and I hated it!  It left my face so dull and gross.  I took it back!

Really??

I just started using it about a year ago. I would hate for the formula to change since it was so perfect the first time.

I had no clue there were two types of Purity a foam and non-foam.

That is my favorite body wash to use. The scented lotions are new and as soon as I'm done my current bottle of body wash I'm off to buy both!

check out HSN.com because you can get the full size wash + lotion for $22-$29 bucks total. i couldn't believe they were full sized when i saw the price but i ordered and they sure are.

My 10 month old orange Tabby Ginger has bitten through so many cords and cables that I've lost count.  I've had to replace my iPad charger about 4 times. She leaves the mail alone, but she loves to chew and mangle the invoices I print for my business. It's a good thing I love her.  My daughter has her twin sister, and I'll be sitting her in August. This should be fun.

Uh oh... I just got home from Ulta, bought the kit with Purity, Help me, & Hope in a jar. Hope my skin agrees with it all.

I'm sure it will be fine!  I think for me and my skin type it was not a good fit!  I find the cleanser that works best for me is the Clinique Mild!  I don't use the toner or their moisturizer but the cleanser works so well!  Hope the Philosophy works for you!  If not Ulta will take it back!  I think I did an exchange for makeup!

IF you knew what my husband's profession is, it would make much, much more sense. He suggested that it would be wise for the two of us to stay off Facebook due to his profession, and he has a very valid point. I could have said " I want to anyway" and made an account. But he is RIGHT this time!!

When I want something, I have it. I don't even have to ask

My husband doesn't tell me what to do in any of my time, spare or otherwise.  Nor does anyone else.

This has gotten WAY out of hand on this thread, and I am feeling very put down by what is being said about choices we made together. None of you know me, none of you know why he asked what he asked. It's the only thing he has ever suggested like this since we've been married.

 Also, neither of us has ANY family near or far to send things to or post pics with etc. No siblings, no cousins, no aunts or uncles, no grandparents, and no parents. . My step- mom is the closest I have to other family, and she hasn't legally been my step- mom in almost 2 decades.

Facebook is not important enough to me to create an account for a music download. I have 2 new iPods full of music that I chose. That's the best I can say it while on pain meds.

Thanks,

Laura

I didn't know Philosophy has been sold.

Every time that happens, the products go downhill. Ojon, Korres, many others down through the years.

Yes, my Purity cleanser started smelling a bit like chemicals, so I switched to my CellCeuticals, which my step-mom bought in a huge size in a kit last month from Beauty.com.

I'm so addicted to CellCeuticals now. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't want this to come off as an attack or a put down, but I am genuinely curious. You seem very concerned about internet privacy, why use your real name on a forum? (If this isn't your real name and is just a pseudonym then disregard the question, obviously).

Dang, I thought it was an homage to the Peyton Place character.

I really can't comment defiunitely, but your hammer hit the nail at the end.

YES!!! It started out that way. You are very cool in my book to remember the PP characters. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I was given a DVD set of the show about 2 years ago and thought Laura Brooks was a nice, ordinary name.

.

Then I met Ed Nelson last year, who played Dr, Michael Rossi on Peyton Place, after MONTHS of emailing as friends. That dear, smart, man whom I revere for his loyalty to family, fans, and his country ( he is very patriotic), actually called me " Laura Brooks" affectionately for some time. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. He was good friends with Patricia Breslin, who played the character...Sadly, Ms. Breslin passed away in 2011.

Sometimes, life is stranger than fiction. Ed is still tops in my book, and I will gladly be his friend "Laura Brooks" or otherwise, as he prefers. He switches back and forth with my given name and the character's name.. I think he misses her still.

 I just gave the largest clue to who I am that I will ever give out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think you will like it all a great deal. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Good choices, all, IMO.

Teehee, now I want to pretend that your husband is either a spy or a famous actor. XD Or maybe you're a famous actress! ...or maybe I just like to imagine things.

Mum's the word. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

As hubby and I believe, all of us are essentially the same. We laugh, we cry, we hurt ( I know I do right now), and we love.

Our jobs may have different titles, but we are all " just people" when all is said and done and our lives are at the end.

It's what we did to help others, and the love we gave that matters most of all.

Hugs,

Laura

Ugh, I'll be so bummed if I have to find a new cleanser!
