philosophy amazing grace - another obsession

It started with an EDT which was swiftly followed by an EDP



And then there was an explosion of products with  the Amazing Grace moniker


So from right to left:

Foot Cream - maybe a tad decadent but extremely moisturising.
EDP - stronger and longer lasting than the EDT (well duh!) but not full on in anyway, warmer I would say.
Perfume Oil - in a roller ball, strength similar to the EDP.
Shampoo/Shower/Bath - extra large almost a litre, this really does work as a shampoo which suprised me.
Body Lotion - extra large almost a litre, when I am feeling flush this is my body lotion of choice, this size lasts me about 3 months of twice daily application but I am overly generous in my application but it does deliver.
Body Spritz - a bit like Fabreeze (not how it smells) but in your favourite perfume.
Body Scrub - this has to be the best body scrub I have ever used, it has a base of glycerine which means that it is quite sticky - a good thing because it sticks to the body and can be worked in whilst the shower is running.
EDT - light enough to cope with my tendancy to overspray, it is both an "on the skin" scent as well as an "on fabric only" scent.
Hand Cream - effective, not just a generic hand cream with the scent bunged on top as an afterthought.

"But what does it smell like???" Well it is clearly floral, light, a bit fizzy, initially it can smell a bit sharp and the dry down remains fresh. If one thinks of freshly laundered clothes steeped in white flowers then one is not far out, but there is no single flower note that I can recognise. When I wear this the compliments are "you smell nice" and that is good enough for me.

philosophy lipglosses


I am not usually a fan of anything on my lips which has a scent or a flavour, Lancome Juicy Tubes I gag at the smell, hence I have never been able to wear.

However I have a soft spot for philosophy not just the fragrances but the makeup and in particular the lipglosses.

These have cake flavourings, so Red Velvet Cake is a chocolate cherry, Vanilla Birthday Cake, and Coconut Frosting, and you know what these do exactly what they say on the tube, they really do smell and taste of what they are meant to, and I love them, very glossy, and suprisingly moisturising, lasting well through a cup of tea and a snackette.


Swatched from bottom to top, Red Velvet Cake, Vanilla Birthday Cake, Coconut Frosting

On the lips they are very sheer.



From top to bottom Red Velvet Cake, Vanilla Birthday Cake and Coconut Frosting.

If I am honest these are more than a year old and maybe even 2 years old, do I care? Not a jot.
