So what does everyone think of TSV-Philosophy

[princesskv]

Well I was anxious like everyone else to see what the Philosophy TSV would be. Unfortunately, it's out of my budget. I was hoping it might be less than $35. I am thinking of purchasing the Jump starter kit as I've never used Philosophy. It's on easy pay too which helps. Any thoughts?

It seemed like a wonderful grouping of products if you use the philosophy line. However, I do not use their skin care products, so I did not get it. I was interested in that peel that was included in it, but I was not going to buy the whole set just to get the peel. I'm sorry that it was out of your budget - I *hate* it when that happens!

I ordered it but did not get the auto delivery option. I will use most of the products, and what I won't use I will sell on eBay.

Well I gave in and bought the TSV and I am a philosphy virgin. I did get it on auto-delivery in case I like it. The price seems good compared to what I see on I-QVC and other internet sites. I was using Clintele (around the same price) but didn't care for it much. Did not really see any change in my skin. So when I saw the TSV I thought why not, if I don't like it I can cancel. I like the fact that it is a simple regime unlike Clintele which had to many serums, creams etc. And the directions were not very clear on the proper way to use them...(there goes that anal thing again) So I would say it is the simplicity that sold me. And the raves that I see on this site as well for the philosphy line. So I want to tell you all that I told my hubby it is all you guys fault..think he fell for that?...Not!!!..but it was worth a try...:)

HaHa, Shopfan, I got into the "fault of the bb gang" thing too. Also told my hubby that one of my close friends was ordering the TSV because of Philosophy's INCREDIBLE reputation for achieving younger-looking and healthier skin. (Which was true.) Made no matter....he rolled his eyes and said, "Go ahead and order it." What did get him is that I told him it would be my birthday present. (Next month.) Can hardly wait to see what all the fuss is about!!! How 'bout comparing notes with me in a few weeks? I did the auto-delivery too, but my husband wasn't "aware" of that part of it, so I have a feeling that I'll be cancelling that option. (?)

The only skin care line I use is Philosophy, and have for over a year. I realize that the price of the TSV was higher than most, but the value was tremendous. The peel, which is called Resurface, is $65.00 for full size, and the TSV included a half size. The products are very concentrated and last for a long time. I ordered the auto-delivery, but will change the deliery time to 90 from 60 days. Despite the chronic illness I have, people have told me I look 10 years younger and it is due to Philosophy. When I first started using it, which products to purchase and which ones to use first was confusing. But after watching several shows on QVC and calling Philosophy's Customer Service Dept., my regiment is quick and simple. The best person, in my opinion, in their C.S. Dept. is Nancy Johnson. Wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable lady. I will cut back on whatever other expenses I have to continue Philosophy. I don't have a spouse to contend with, but I do have a limited budget, since I can no longer work, but looking better makes me feel better. I can also attest to the "make-up optional" skin philosphy. All I use is "The Present", clear make-up by Philosophy, with BE foundation over it. Also, I use eye make-up and lip color so I don't scare those around me.

Congratulations to all you that could afford the Philosophy TSV. I for one couldn't unfortunately. It came at a bad time. However, I did get the jump starter kit which was on easy pay. Christina said it had all the basics so I figured that would be a good choice to try plus it was within my budget. Let me know how the TSV kit works out for all you!

[shopfan]

occaseshpr..my hubby is not aware of the auto delivery either..so that will be our little secret for now...however, I think it is a win win situation. If we like it and it works then we are in..if not we can cancel..so really we could play up the fact with them of saving money by getting auto-delivery. I am looking forward to comparing notes. Should be interesting. I must admit I never really had a skin care regime, just plain soap and water with an over the counter moisture cream. As I said before my first try was Clientele and that didn't work so we shall see. I am hoping between BE and Philosphy I will be Beeeeeeutifulllllllllllll....haha..

[occaseshpr]

shopfan, can't wait! The days are counting down.....

It's clear that, considering the usual costs of their (or other high quality) products, this TSV and the option for auto-delivery is a GREAT value! Believe me, I'm an (to borrow a term from another poster which is funny) Uberconsumer!!!!!

[MzCheryl]

Today, I received my Philosophy TSV. I can't wait to try all the products. I use currently BE, "Hope in a Jar" and "Lift" but now I have more stuff to try...Oooh, I can't wait...laughing!

[shopfan]

ok occaseshpr..I got my TSV of philosphy today...and..as I mention before I am very anal when it comes to clear directions...guess what?..no phamplet..no precise directions...I am a little surprised at the little amount of product you get for the money..but, I will push on,(and if this don't make my skin absolutely beeeeeeeutifullll it is going back) hopely I will do it right..or maybe it is so simple it escapes me..(I try to be a deep thinker...haha)Sooooooo..let me know what you think when you get yours.

mzcheryl...I saw your post after I posted mine...join me and occaseshpr on our quest for beauty....share any and all secrets (don't hold back now)

[HHIgirl]

I received my TSV today as well. I can't wait to start the peel kit. I wish there were more explicit instructions and everytime I call philosophy I tell them so. I hope they will listen. Maybe if we all call, they will get the hint.

[shopfan]

thanks HHIgirl..I will do just that

[HHIgirl]

You are welcome. I think we should start a phone campaign and just flood them with calls all this week. Hmmm.. maybe I will post a thread about it....

[MzCheryl]

Some ladies collect silver and some gold, but what do I collect at the moment? Philosphy and BE...laughing! I can't seem to get enough of either one. I have alway had a pretty good complexion but I must say that since I've been using Philosophy and BE, it's even better and I am hooked. My skin looks so soft and my coloring so natural. I love this stuff and fear BE will discontinue the colors I like so I have to stock up. My husband just shakes his head and laughs at all my little jars and bottles of miracle products.

Anyway, you ladies make me laugh...this BB is so much fun.

[shopfan]

I also went to their site and sent them an e-mail. Wanted to make sure I let them know one way or the other in case I don't get around to calling.

MzCheryl, hello!
I collect the same thing. My complexion has gotten so much better that I don't even have to wear blush. I have a pink glow most of the times on good days. Sure saves time in the morning!
I hear you about the good colors being discontinued. You will have to get the tackle box of product like the women on the BE infomercial.

[MzCheryl]

HHIGirl, I keep wondering where I'm going to put my little jars, bottles, and brushes. It's all under control at the moment but for how long, I don't know because my collection keeps growing. I never collected much of anything except jewelry until I discovered BE and Philosophy. I hope I live long enough to use all this stuff...laughing!

[HHIgirl]

Go to Target (if there is one in your area) and buy the white tray that is in the home stuff aisle and put all your Philosophy jars on there. It looks really cool. Sort of like an old apothocary. It is a wooden tray with handles and it is 12. YOu could turn your entire bathroom into a Philosophy and BE shrine. I still think Cristina and Leslie need to get together and do some kind of kit for us. Although, I think Cristina will becoming out wiht some sort of mineral veil product. Seems like everyone is. Have you soon the informercial for "Sheer Coverage" with Leeza Gibbons? It is usally on really late at night.

[MzCheryl]

Thanks for the info. I do have a Target in my area and will them out.

[HHIgirl]

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Did I say WOW?
I used my TSV last night and it did exaclty what Cristina said and more. I can't stop touching my face. I actually have a dewy glow, like I am healthy! I am doing invisible cartwheels of joy. This was worth every penny. Drat, what I didn't I do auto-
delivery? Hope everyone is enjoying theirs as well.

Have a great day all!

In order for Philosophy to work for me, I was spending $300.00 for all the products I was using.

I am now using Principal Secret Reclaim and the entire line of full size products was only $65.00! I am now seeing results that I never did with any other product. My skin looks like it did 25 years ago when I was young.

I especially love the Buffing Exfoliant.

My skin is radiant, moist and polished.

I used Philosophy for 3 years and I could not accomplish what these products have in only 1 month.
