We are in the thick of things when it comes to winter and even though it doesn’t feel too cold, the air is super dry. Glad I’ve had PHILIP B. Lovin’ Hand & Body Crème ($8/2oz, $27/6oz, $90/32oz @ philipb.com) on hand (no pun intended). It’s surprisingly super moisturizing and not greasy at all for being so lightweight. And I don’t hate greasy lotions (I think I’m in my own category on this one!). It contains ingredients that will help the skin on hands look and feel better like coconut oil, shea butter and vitamins E and B5. And it has a really delicate scent to it that me likey.

Some men have their antenna up when they feel a woman is trying to change them. So why not use the holidays as a way to influence and get them to start using a product you like? Here are two my man is really digging.

PHILIP B The Boyfriend Collection ($69 @ philipb.com) is the Scent of Santa Fe Balancing Shampoo (11.8oz) and the Chai Latte Soul & Body Wash (11.8oz).

There are few things I am serious about when it comes to beauty. One is a face scrub, mascara and the other is hair conditioner. Think of PHILIP B’s White Truffle Nourishing Hair Conditioning Rinse ($28/2oz, $75/6oz @ philipb.com) as thee luxury hair product. If your hair really needs to be brought back from major damage, this one can get you there. I mean this one can, really get you there! It’s made specifically for those with chemical or color-treated hair like just about every female I know, right? So what makes it soooo good? Probably the 23.3% Pure Botanical Extracts of White Truffle combined with the amino acids and vitamin E. It can be used as a regular in the shower conditioner or a longer weekly treatment, which is how I’ve been using it. Big recommendation. 

The PHILIP B line has always been on the cutting edge of cool with products that give something extra and unique. From their White Truffle Ultra-Rich Shampoo to the Chai Latte Soul & Body Wash, they never put out a boring product! This Anti-Frizz Formula 57 ($35/2oz @ philipb.com) may not have the fancy name but it has pretty much become my go-to defrizzer right now. It contains vitamin E, jojoba, and soybeach oils and not only does this defrizz but it also protects hair from heat products so this is also a 2-in-1.
When I first used this, I applied it after I was done drying my hair to calm my strands down but you can actually use it on towel dry hair too. Try it both ways to see what works best for you!

File this one under total lug-jhor-ree! PHILIP B new Cucumber & Blue Orchid Hand & Body Crème … just go back and read the title. Is that the most delicately sounding concoction ever? But that’s not the only reason I wanted to feature it here on the site. This highly sought after crème contains aloe, vitamins B5, E, peptides and a cutting-edge anti-aging ingredient that claims to firm and tighten the skin. Who wants sagging hand skin, right?! $12.50/2oz, $47.50/6oz @ philipb.com.

Not only do we love travel kits because you can get on the plane but they’re a great way to try more than one product in the line to see what you like. PHILIP B Travel Kit ($30 @ philipb.com) is 4-2oz bottles of their best sellers in one cute zippered case. The two shampoos have SLS’s in them so if you color your hair, you may not want to use them.
African Shea Butter Shampoo (for all hair types – contains vitamin B5 – no fragrance), Scent of Sante Fe Shampoo (very gentle – 10% pure plant extracts of sage, Pinon, and Juniper Berry), Deep-Conditioning Crème Rinse (contains African Shea Butter, Wheat germ and soy protein), Peppermint Avocado Shampoo (contains extracts of peppermint, avocado and 16 plant extracts).
