Amazing - Philosophy Introduces Five New Ways to Experience Grace.

One of my all-time favorite scents that both my husband and I enjoy is the Amazing Grace scent from Philosophy. It is a beautiful light fragrance that is a very clean, feminine blend of soft, floral blossoms accented by a hint of light musk.

Philosophy is introducing five new ways to experience this beautiful scent - both in and out of the shower. Enjoy their new Amazing Grace Buffing Wash, Amazing Grace Scented Candle, Amazing Grace Shave Gel, Amazing Grace Scented Spritz, and Amazing Grace Body Butter.

 

Whether you like your daily fragrance routine and like to layer or if you prefer to scent yourself in one simple step, each of these new products will provide the perfect blend of Philosophy's cult classic scent.

Surround yourself with grace:

Amazing Grace Perfumed Buffing Wash - $26
This gentle, non abrasive wash is formulated with natural ingredients to gently moisturize and clean your skin while helping to smooth and soften skin without irritation.  It feels almost like grains of rice in the creamy, gel-like buffing wash.

Amazing Grace Scented Candle - $30
This is perfect for not only the bathroom, but anywhere you want to take this beautiful scent with you out of the shower. It fills my room with a cozy, almost calming scent.

Amazing Grace Shave Gel - $15
This shave gel is more like a lotion, but it's velvety texture helps your razor glide over the skin for a gentle, yet close shave. This is exclusive to Sephora.com.

Amazing Grace Scented Spritz - $25
Probably my favorite of the new fab five pieces, this spray is very lightly scented that provides moisturizing and antioxidant benefits to the body when spritzed over. It is a perfect refresher during the day, especially after coming in from the heat.

Amazing Grace Body Butter - $28
This is a very highly emollient moisturizer formulated with shea, mango and cocoa butter to hydrate, tone and smooth dry skin to leave it feeling silky soft. A true butter, not just a thick cream.

Truly amazing, friends!   
 

The Best Summer Scent EVER - LAVANILA Vanilla Coconut.

While I very rarely talk about fragrances here, that is Cindi’s job over on The Fragrance Fanatic now, I have to take a moment to share my love for my new scent. With my husbands approval, no less.

LAVANILA Vanilla Coconut is the best, and most beautiful Summer fragrance. Evah! Talk about being transported to a tropical paradise with a single spray. Before talking about LAVANILA and the Vanilla Coconut scent, I must avert your attention to the first thing I noticed about this product. The packaging.

The packaging alone features such intricate cut-out’s that the outer boxes are collector worthy alone. I wish the inner box was a clear sleeve so I could display it in my bathroom. It is that gorgeous. But the box alone on my vanity will do. Beautiful! And the colors of this box are a beautiful teal blue and brown - the colors of my soon to be completed master suite. I might just even be bringing in the box for this color of blue to be matched for some trim work I am doing on mirrors and frames. Truly, again I have to say this - beautiful! The rest of the LAVANILA  collection features all different types of boxes, in the most beautiful color’s based with brown. And from what I have seen so far, they all feature different cut-outs. I can only imagine the packaging costs - but this really makes for a more luxurious brand.

“Breaking beauty boundaries with the world's premier healthy fragrance, LAVANILA is the first to fuse luxury fragrance with natural science. Their sensual vanilla blends captivate the senses and nurture the skin thanks to a healthy dose of pure essential oils, active botanicals, and antioxidants. Infused with everything that's good for you and absolutely nothing that's not, LAVANILA is changing the way we spray.

The Vanilla Coconut scent is tropical. Beautiful. Heavenly. Reminds me of the beach, but not in a beachy way. It is more like a beautiful, flower lined street with Palm Trees waving above, with the beach there at the end. It has an oriental yet a warm floral sent is felt.  It smells slightly of coconut, with hints of monoi Tiare (a Tahitian white flower), and a warm base of Madagascar vanilla bean. The other notes in this scent include heliotrope and sandalwood.

I will be rounding out this fragrance addiction with the Vanilla Coconut Body Butter ($25), and can you image this - a Vanilla Coconut Healthy Lip Shine ($14). I am sure I will be licking my lips all day. The 1.7 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray that I am using sells for $56.

Shop at Sephora and online at Sephora.com for this beautiful line up of fragrance based products.
