Build Bath & Shower

As a guy it’s fantastic that Philosophy produce truly multi tasking cleansing products , product that you can use from head to toe and is genuinely effective in each of the three uses, as so often this isn’t the case.  This a must have product for your gym bag or if you do a lot of travelling as your only packing one product instead of three. Both of these shampoo, bath & shower gels have a rich creamy texture , which is very concentrated and you only need to squeeze a small amount under running water to create the most divine fragrance that fills the bathroom and lots of soft creamy bubbles that you just want to dive into.  In the shower I use a scrunchie which creates a beautiful lather that envelops the skin in the most heavenly cascade of bubbles. I love that on the front of both of these bottles there is a recipe to make your own Cinnamon Buns & Fresh Cream creations .  I am now going to go into more detail about the fragrances of these bath and shower gels.

I’m sharing #Philosophy in my life as part of a Philosophy sponsored series for Socialstars™ 6 piece shower gel collection " width="730" height="487" /> I tend to forget about myself more often than not. Self Care is something that should be in the forefront of my mind but after handling everything for work, the house, my husband and anyone in between I let myself take on all of the stress. I did that a lot in 2016, I was so stressed out all of the time and it was because I wasn’t putting aside any time for myself. I made a promise to myself at the beginning of this year that I would put myself first more often. I wanted to set aside time for self-care, even if that just meant one bubble bath a week with a good magazine. Bubble baths are my absolute favorite and I can probably count on one hand the amount of them I allowed myself time for last year. I have no excuse now, I have Philosophy’s 6 piece shower gel collection and it’s fabulous. 6 piece shower ge...

Reviews Feb 26, 2013 February 26, 2013 philosophy Raspberry Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Shampoo , Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath" src="http://www.temptalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/philosophy_raspberrydreamsicle001.jpg" /> philosophy Raspberry Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Shampoo , Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath philosophy Raspberry Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Shampoo , Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath ($27.00 for 32 oz.) is described as a “sheer delight of ripe berries, tropical passion fruit , and sweet creaminess.” It smells like raspberries and cream with added sweetness that I felt really came from the “passion fruit” portion–it wasn’t sugary sweet, but a rounded sweetness that was mellow but noticeable.  It’s not fresh raspberries; it’s definitely sweeter than that, but as a general fan of all things raspberry , I liked it quite a bit. The main reason I bought this (besides being a fiend for any new scent by philosophy) was because it came with a pump, and I really w...

Hot summer days mean tank tops, shorts, swimsuits, sandals and generally a lot more of your skin showing than it normally would at other times of the year. While wearing less clothing helps to keep you cool, it often means more skincare problems for many of us. As you get ready to head outdoors to enjoy the weather this season, win the bare skin battle by being prepared to prevent and treat every type of irritation, abrasion and bite that may come your way. Sunburn The most common and, to be perfectly honest, most preventable summer skin problem is sunburn. Even though we all know we need to wear sunscreen every single day , many of us blow it off until it’s too late and we’re rocking the lobster look. Not only does allowing yourself to get sunburnt increase your risk of skin cancer, but on a very superficial level, sun damage totally ages you. Aging gracefully is fabulous, aging prematurely is not. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends the use of a daily moisturizer wit...

When making choices to support a healthier lifestyle, many individuals overlook the safety of their beauty and/or personal care products . But they shouldn’t: Not only is skin your largest organ, but what is applied to the skin is absorbed by the body (if you’re suspect, just think about the efficacy of transdermal birth control or nicotine patches). As a professional with 15 years of experience as a makeup artist and 10 years of experience in naturals specifically, I have developed an expertise in which products, ingredients, and methods are best. So if you’re taking the time—and spending the money—to buy healthier, organic food, it’s about time you understand what you’re putting on your skin. An introduction to clean and natural beauty. In order to understand the context, here’s some clean beauty 101 : The personal care industry (meaning things like lipstick, shampoo, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste) is completely unregulated in the United States. In layman’s terms, this means ther...

Excerpt from 'How Clean is Your House' By Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie Getting started Kim and Aggie's essential cleaning kit A glance at the shelves of cleaning materials in any large store will tell you that there is a breathtaking array of cleaning creams, powders, polishes, liquids, cloths, mops and tablets available. Of course you don't need them all! Some are time-saving, but buying so many products is hardly economical—we'll show you other cleaning methods that avoid buying a special product that does only one job. However, every home should have a basic cleaning kit . All the homes we visited contained cleaning materials —they just weren't being used. Their purchase was a sign of the best intentions, but then they had been buried at the back of a cupboard—often covered in grease or dust! Name a product and you can be sure that we have tried it. Here is a list of the supplies we never ...
