Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!
I bought this set as a gift to myself because it seemed like such a great deal and it is absolutely worth it!!! I normally don't wear much makeup and my skin type is normal to combination (T-Zone). My favorite is the Eye/Lip firming cream. Not too greasy, I even wear it during the day and I've even noticed my boyfriend using it. The cleanser leaves the face feeling clean but not tight. A little goes a long way (this bottle will last forever). It leaves my face feeling so good that sometimes I forget to put moisturizer on. The mositurizer I use at night and unlike the other reviewer, it has not caused me to breakout at all. It is a little greasy for the day-time, in the day I use Creme de la Mer oil absorbing moisturizer. The face firming serum I usually use alone in the day or night (no set schedule). The only thing that I didn't like with this set is that the items don't smell very good (especially the moisturizer and the face firming serum), I can't even describe the scent but if you're use to things smelling good this is not it. The eye/lip firming cream has no scent. Overall, this is a great set for the price.
Has made my skin makeup optional!
I'm 31 with good skin (very fair, a couple of dark spots from old zits, a couple of broken capillaries), but I can honestly say my skin hasn't look this good since I was a teenager. I've been using this kit for about 2 months now, and I haven't even had my usual PMS zit for either month. The Hope in a Tube has completely filled in my crows feet, making my eyes look like they're 16 again.
I initally rolled my eyes at their "make-up optional" claim, but I also purchased some of their Supernatural airbrushed makeup, and at first I wore it over my usual foundation. Then one day I got a wild hair and skipped the foundation, just using the powder. Half way through the day I got to looking in the bathroom mirror at work and realized I couldn't tell any difference in the coverage -- I looked just like I had foundation on also. Since then I've skipped my foundation and no one at work has asked if I'm feeling okay or anything of the sort; as a matter of fact, I've had more than one person tell me how great I looked. I was spending $35 a bottle for makeup that I apparently no longer need! I never in a million years thought I'd stop wearing foundation!
The only drawback to these products is the smell. I'm very sensitive to smells, and the Hope in a Jar is a little on the icky side. Not bad enough to turn me off from using the product, but could certainly be improved. To compensate, I squirt on a little Falling in Love before going to bed so I can smell something pleasant as I drift off. The other products in the kit don't have an offensive smell to me.
In summary, I am always looking for the next best product that will do what it says it will, but I'm also very thrifty. I have no problem shelling out for this kit on a regular basis. Besides, I'm already saving $35 a month by tossing my foundation!
