Philosophy Purely New Beginnings Purity Cleansing Collection Trio Review


As soon as I saw this in stores, i knew i HAD to have it. It's a $55.00 dollar set with a value of $85.00. Can you beat that price for all three of these!? Plus they are all pretty good sizes as well. Anyway, I ended up not having to worry because it was a gift to me for my birthday last week.

Plus, the sizes are definitely decent. The set contains:
- 16 oz Purity Made simple One-Step Facial Cleanser
- 5.8 oz Purity Made Simple Mineral Oil-Free Cleansing Oil
- 4 oz Purity Made Simple Mask.

The Purity Made Simple Mineral Oil-Free Cleansing Oil was pretty good at taking off your make up. I tried it when i was using Benefits They're Real mascara and a black liner, which is always the most difficult to get off. I put it on my hands and rubbed it around my eye area and face (dry skin) for a good 30 seconds, then rinsed. For using products that were difficult to get off, it worked pretty well. I had some residue still around my eyes left, but not bad. You'd probably have to use more to get a better result. I am thinking if you put it on a cotton pad and rubbed it into the lashes, it might work better instead of just using your hands. Also make sure you do it for the full 30 to 60 seconds they recommend.

I've tried samples of the purity one-step facial cleanser, and i absolutely loved how it felt on my skin. When you rinse it off, it left your skin feeling clean without that tight dry feeling I have gotten from other cleansers. It does do a good job of taking off my makeup as well, but i did have to go back with some make up remover pads to completely remove my mascara.

The Purity Made Simple Mask is great.  I'm used to clay-based masks, so this was something different for me. You rub it on your face until it turns white, wait 60 seconds, then rinse off. I'm not entirely sure what it's suppose to do for your skin in that 60 seconds but it says it, "Transforms lackluster skin into a radiant, healthy-looking complexion. It’s fortified with mineral-rich, deep-cleansing sea salts to help naturally purify and detoxify, and marine extracts and vitamin E to smooth. Skin is left glowing, supple, and hydrated." I didn't feel any difference when i had it on, but when i took it off my skin felt soft and a clean feeling. It didn't feel over-drying either.
