Philosophy Shower Gels

[lklmail]

Anybody else out there addicted to Philosophy's 3-in-1 shower gels? They have so many different scents and I'm dying to try them all! They have sample sizes of some of them which I've been able to find on eBay, but some of them are only available in full-size.

I'd love to hear from others who use these - what's your favorite and why? Or, which ones did you not like and why? So far I've used Amazing Grace and Baby Grace, and like both of those; but I have 7 more to try in the weeks to come.

I have a checklist (MS Word format) with most of them listed - I'll be glad to share it if someone will tell me how to go about doing so: I can email it to people if that's allowed, or post it somewhere on the board if there's a place I can post it. Just LMK.

I love cinnamon buns and pumpkin pie. Gingerbread man is nice sometimes. Really disappointed with the vanilla cupcake though. Those are the only ones I've tried.

i hear so much about them, but I've never used it. I think Im going to have to purchase one!

Of the ones I've tried, here is my opinion:

the Best ones: Sugar Plum Fairy, Pumpkin Pie, Waffle Cone, Cinnamon Buns, Old-Fashioned Egg Nog, Cafe Au Lait, Spiced Apple Cider, Double Rich Hot Cocoa. they smell exactly like they should, even a bit better if that's possible.

the Worst ones: Frozen Lemon Custard (has a very strong black pepper note, and mixed with lemon it's kind of repulsive), Vanilla Ice Cream and Vanilla Cupcake (they don't have any vanilla scent, they smell like plastic), any of the Daiquiris (the ones that came in the "Pool Party" gift set, they both had a compost note or something like that).

the Okay ones: Mimosa, Crumb Berry Pie, Mint Chocolate Chip. they're neither good nor bad, you just have to be in the mood for that scent.

I was given samples of Cinnamon Buns & Lemon Custard at Sephora. Cinnamon Buns was O K but Lemon Custard was a let down. The good thing is that I normally use soap free products and these didn't cause a reaction! Sad to say that I don't think I will be purchasing them.

I've only tried Amazing Grace, and I love that one.

I love Philosophy shower gels. My favorites are waffle cone and cinnamon buns. If you like the shower gels, try the body souffles.

i wait all year for candy cane! then as soon as they are released, i start buying!!!

they were released last month and so far i only have 4. i give them for gifts but mostly hoard enough for myself to get through the rest of the year!!!

i also had tried pumpkin pie, apple cider, hot chocolate and eggnog.

i like the pumpkin and the apple cider. the eggnog and the hot chocolate not so much - way too sweet for me.

I received a sample of the pumpkin pie and the cinnamon buns. I liked the pumpkin smell the best but I do want to try the others.

I tried the Raspberry Sorbet one when it first came out. I like it mostly for the scent though.

I tried it once (Strawberry Milkshake) and I hated how it made my hair feel. It also smells good in the bottle but not when used.

 

[Pumpkin ohyeah]

i want!

im going to go to sephora and get a bunch of samples and probably end up buying bulk on ebay.

one time i waited like 20min. for this girl to run around nordstroms to find the pure grace perfume. well they were going to close so its like she forgot about me, she came back eventually and for waiting gave me at least like $50 worth of stuff for free cause i watied so long. it was awsome. i have several nice size bottles of theyre shower gels (which i totally love).

and because i signed up for that sephora beauty insider deal, you get a free bottle of this birthday cake 3-in-1 gel. i havent tried it yet though, but im wondering if it works well for shampoo. since it says it is for it, i figure it would perfect for when i go to japan this summer.

Thanks for your review!

i've tried the amazing grace line and liked them. my fave is the pure grace

scent. nice, fresh scent

the other stuff sound really good too

 

[GuessWho]

never tried them..but i will

I have used Amazing Grace, Baby Grace, and the A few Good Man trio.

Amazing Grace is nice, just like the perfume. Baby Grace is too weak for me and a little too sweet.

The A few good Men trio is Gingerbread Man, Ice Cream Man (Bubble Gum Ice Cream), and Muffin Man (lemon custard). I thought the Gingerbread Man smells nothing like Gingerbread. It reminds me more of cola. I've heard some people compare it to ginger ale. Ice Cream Man smells exactly like you would imagine it too, but its a little too "kiddie" for me. The Muffin Man is my favorite of the three.

I just ordered Pumpkin Pie from skin store since I had a 20% off coupon. I'll let you know how I like it.
