philosophy and QVC have teamed up to offer special value sets with their Month of Miracles event this July. The Amazing Grace line has been a regular go-to for me. I’m a huge fan of the soft clean feminine scent Amazing Grace has in wide range of body products from the perfume, shower gels and body creams. It’s refreshing, calming and there’s something about the scent that makes the skin feel clean. This month there are a number of really good sets and bundles available now. The biggest set is the Philosophy Miraculous 12 Piece Shower Gel Collection with scents that sound amazing like Vanilla Coconut, Beach Party and Snow Angel.
The QVC x philosophy team sent two value items for me to try. One is a trio called discover the miracle of amazing grace which has an 8-fl oz amazing grace shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath, an 8-fl oz amazing grace firming body emulsion, and an 8-fl oz amazing grace olive oil scrub. The QVC price is $52 for the set, during the event the price is $42.96.
- The 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath is a staple in my beauty routine. It’s one of my favorite bath products to relax and unwind.
- The Firming Body Emulsion is new to me – it smells a bit more like linen compared to the perfume version of Amazing Grace but layers really nicely with the perfume. It has pretty good strength for a body lotion and the scent lingers for a long time and fades nicely. It has a super clean feel.
- The Olive Oil Scrub is also new to me and it’s incredibly gentle on the skin. It’s a body scrub but has a more liquid base which makes it easy to rub all over. It has tiny little beads inside but it’s very gentle so you don’t have to worry about it irritating the skin (some scrubs are harsh). It leaves the skin feeling super soft and moisturized but doesn’t leave behind any greasy oily residue.
I love how each philosophy bottle has a little saying or quote on the front. It’s something unique that has made an impression on me going back to the 90’s when I first discovered the line. I’ve always found the packaging concept to be very beautiful.
The second value is the philosophy purity made simple 32 oz body cleanser. It retails for $42 (event price is $34.96). The Purity Made Simple Face Cleanser is something that has been recommended to me by so many readers – I tried it in a cleanser set early in the spring and wasn’t a huge fan, but the body cleanser is a completely different story for me. If you’re looking for a super gentle moisturizing cleanser that lathers well, I highly recommend this one. It comes in a large bottle with a pump. It’s good for those sensitive to fragrance – it does have a scent to it but it’s not fragranced with any perfume.
True to philosophy style, there’s a beautiful quote on the front. It lathers up really nicely in the bath. I find it really does work well as a shaving gel. The Purity Made Simple Body cleanser leaves the skin feeling soft and clean, it doesn’t dry out the skin. The body does feel nicely moisturized after a shower but it doesn’t feel like there is a film on it. If you’re sensitive to any kind of fragrance in shower products – I highly recommend this one.
You can find all the QVC x philosophy Month of Miracles sets available at special prices this month (this is the last week for them). I’ve been browsing the other value sets and am trying to decide between the Best of Fresh Cream 5 piece set or the Vanilla Coconut Duo (although it’s not on sale). If you’ve tried either scent – which one do you like best? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I think there are a lot of good deals going on right now. It’s a good time to stock up on gifts – there are a three skincare and bodycare brands that I think are no-brainers for gift giving, philosophy is one of them. I’ve gifted the Amazing Grace sets for a number of occasions. I think the miraculous 12 pc shower gel collection set would be amazing to split up as gifts. (The price for the shower gels individually would total $126, value price is $87.94.)
Do you have any philosophy favorites? I’ve stuck with Amazing Grace for so long because it just works so well for me – I’ve neglected to explore other items from the line. I’m open to suggestions 🙂
Many thanks to philosophy and QVC for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions my own. For more information refer to my disclosures.
I haven't tried the Fresh Cream, but vanilla coconut is to die for.
Thanks for the rec!
I've tried the Fresh Cream before and for me, it was a bit too sweet, to the point of being cloying. Just based on your blog, we seem to have similar taste in scents, so I hope that helps.
Hi Lauren – thanks for the input, I will skip the Fresh Cream 🙂
Oh my I got to try these! They seem like really great products to try out based on your reviews. I will do check on them this weekend.
I highly recommend the trio 🙂
I'm your faithful french reader. I like you so ^_^
I've always been a huge fan of the 3-1 bath and shower products. Sometimes the fragrance can be artificial smelling, but when they get it right, the scents are downright scrumptious. Cinnamon Buns, Crème Brûlée, Peaches and Cream. . .yum! Whenever I have houseguests, I put one of the 8 oz. sized 3-in-1s in the guest bathroom with a small card saying, "Remember to take me home with you <3 " Many of the scents work equally well for man, woman, or child and everyone seems to really enjoy the skin softening experience.
This is the cutest thing ever. Good to know the Peaches and Cream is yummy!!
I have used both Fresh Cream and Vanilla Coconut 3-1 shower gels and body lotions for quite awhile now. I really love both scents, but of the two sets you are deciding between, I would pick the Vanilla Coconut because the Fresh Cream fragrance spray is really not very good. I tried the Fresh Cream fragrance spray and promptly returned it as the smell was very artificial and cloying. It might be fine for a tween girl, but I think your tastes in fragrance are far beyond that stage. Big thumbs up for the shower gels and lotions though – you can't go wrong with either scent.
Thanks for the recommendation on the Vanilla Coconut – sounds like it will be the better option 🙂
