renewed hope in a jar for the New Year ($100 Gift Card!)


 
Happy 2015 everyone!

New Year... New You. Isn't that how it goes? Something like that?

Aside from making some personal and professional goals, one thing I love to do at the beginning of a new year is switch up my beauty routine and try some new products (which also includes tossing out all those products that I never use!) It's nice to switch up my routine every once in a while and it's the perfect time to do so! Besides, your skin deserves a little renewing and pampering too, am I right?

I'm happy to share with you all today the best moisturizer ever...philosophy's renewed hope in a jar.

No, really, you will never need to shop around for one again! You might have heard rave reviews about this moisturizer by now since hope in a jar/classic has been a best seller for years, but trust me when I say that you will not regret trying renewed hope in jar and you will be hooked.

There is no other moisturizer out there that can top what renewed hope in a jar has to offer, and trust me I've tried a few, to say the least...

Allow me to explain why I love it so much, and why you're bound to as well!

+First, it's not one of those heavy moisturizers, which I can't stand to wear all day. It's a lightweight moisturizer and from the second I put it on I feel instantly refreshed, which is so nice especially in the morning. An instant pick me up, if you will!

+On top of that, it reduces pores, fine lines, and gives you this awesome dewy glow that I love.

+My skin feels and stays hydrated throughout the day. Like I mentioned earlier, some moisturizers are so heavy and those typically make me break out, but this one doesn't. Who has time for breakouts, anyways?
I honestly can't find anything I hate about this moisturizer... it is now officially in my daily routine and my skin loves me for it.

If you're one of those who likes to know about the ingredients... you'll be happy to know that it has a triple blend of alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs (this helps get rid of dead, dull skin). It also has an Asian fruit extract that gives you a natural healthy color that tricks you into thinking you just got a facial. :)

P.S. A little bit goes a long way with this product, so don't be turned off by the price tag (it's still under $50!) because you will definitely get your money's worth with this one as it will last many, many months.

You can also follow philosophy on their social media channels here: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

To be entered for your chance to win a $100 off offer code to philosophy.com, leave a comment telling me what you like to focus on in the new year!

philosophy also has a hope & grace initiative where 1% of all philosophy product sales supports community-based mental health efforts. Any product, anywhere. Pretty awesome.
