Philosophy's Purity

A couple of weeks back I have received a bottle of Philosophy Purity one-step facial cleanser from Habchi & Chalhoub group to give it a try. The timing couldn't be more perfect! My daily cleansing cream from Dr. Hauschka is about to finish (By the way! Thanks to my lovely friend N for introducing me to it!), and since Dr. Hauschka is not stocked in Kuwait, I needed a good alternative. 

Philosophy Purity came with a beauty book which gives an introduction about their skin care and beauty lines, plus it had some smart and positive messages throughout the book like the one shown in the photo above. I loved the vintage images used in the book too, gave it a whimsical touch.

Now back to the product, Philosophy Purity is formulated to gently cleanse, tone and remove all face and eye makeup in one step while lightly hydrating the skin. This was very convenient for me because I like to keep my skin care routine plain and simple. I have tried the product for the two weeks maybe? And I found it to be very impressive in terms of melting away my make-up, some products I have used in the past required me to wash my face twice at least in order to have all my make-up removed. It doesn't foam up much, but I've heard that they do carry a foaming type of this product. So far my skin didn't break out, so that's a good sign. However, I did get an irritated skin a day or two, not sure if it's a case of allergy or from the product itself. But overall, I'd give it four out of five stars.

You can find Philosophy Purity at Sephora boutique in the Avenues Phase II.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
