I have not been too wow’d by PHILOSOPHY’s Grace collection of scented products (Amazing Grace, Pure Grace). They just seemed really middle of the road and nothing special. Then I came in contact with the new Eternal Grace and I must say I am really liking it. It a true floral with notes of bergamot, citrus, geranium, lavender, violet, passion fruit, musk, sandalwood and amber. What’s not whimpy about this is that yes, it is a floral but it has slight bite to it. This is the perfect daytime Eau de Toilette. $40/2oz @ sephora.com.

I think the PHILOSOPHY line is the only one that creates a beauty product made special for each and every holiday. And they always say it best, so from me to you, Have a Cherry Christmas High-Foaming Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath ($16/16oz @ philosophy.com).

Happy Halloween! What’s your favorite Halloween candy? For chocolate its Reece’s and for candy-candy it has to be candy corn. PHILOSOPHY just came out with 'I Love Candy Corn' Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bath Bubble ($16/16oz @ philosophy.com) and I must say it smells like the real thing! So if you’re a fan or these little morsels or this line of super fun smelling shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath, this one appeases the sugar tooth.

Just because it’s September doesn’t mean that fragrant flowers are not in bloom. Well they are at least in bloom in my shower with PHILOSOPHY’s new Field of Flowers Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. And this one really brings me back like, “Calgon, take me away!” I’ve used it a few times as a bubble bath and smelling the intoxicating freesia notes is like running through a fresh meadow in the spring. A great way to end a long work day with a Scent that Rocks! Choose from both of the following:

Ultra Rich Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath ($16/16oz)

Ultra-Rich Body Lotion ($24/16oz)

Both @ philosophy.com.
