PHILOSOPHY SNOW FLAKE WONDERLAND GIFT SET IN "SNOW ANGEL"

Good day everyone,


I have known about Philosophy products for years and at one time I did buy them more often, but as priorities change you realize spending $30 on bath products isn't always the most practical thing.
The other day I did some shopping and went into Winners because you are sure to leave with some great find or other.


I was very pleased to find not one but two gift sets from Philosophy, the second one I will be posting separately.

Lets take a look at the Snowflake Wonderland gift set offering the scent Snow Angel

First off I absolutely love the packaging for Philosophy gift sets they are so whimsical and festive.

Now what about the scent it self "Snow Angel" It seems to me to have a base of pear scent and it is sweet but delicate like the new fallen snow. It makes me think of taking a crisp winter walk and taking a deep breath of cold air.

I like that the lotion has shea butter as well as olive and macadamia oil in it, which all will leave your skin deeply hydrated.
The shower gel leaves a delicate shimmer on the skin. I would say the scent does not last incredibly long though.

The only thing I find a little discomforting is when a package warns not to use something excessively or with prolonged exposure as it may cause irritation to skin and urinary tract???? SAY WHAT! Well then I don't think I will be using this on my lady parts if that's the case YIKES.

 

I love the beautiful pearlescent swirl of this shower gel it is a minty version of Philosophy's other holiday favourite "Have a Cherry Christmas" which obviously leans more red/pink and looks like this. I would love to try this sometime as well because I am crazy for anything that is cherry scented.

 

So as mentioned I found the "Snow Angel" gift set at Winners and it was only $14.99 which is pretty much half price. The same set is currently on Sephora and selling for $26.00 and is LIMITED EDITION so bare that in mind if your going to be buying as a gift.

 

Each bottle is 240ml/ 8 oz.

 

All in all I do like "Snow Angel", but I am not entirely crazy in love with the scent. I will actually be giving this away as a gift. I think the second set is more up my alley, so stay tuned to see that one in an upcoming blog.

SNEAK PEEK AT OPI'S HOLIDAY GIFT SET FIT TO BE TIED

Hi again to those returning and welcome to those new to my blog,

***THIS ITEM WAS SENT TO ME BY PR FOR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION***
MY OPINIONS ARE STILL MY OWN BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT.
THESE SETS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AS OF YET

Today I want to share a gift set by OPI that will be a great gift for giving, as well as receiving.
OPI has launched some super sexy little gift sets just perfect for stockings;)

The sets are perfectly called "FIT TO BE TIED" which is a play on words as well. There are 3 hair bracelets included in the set which are pretty and nice enough to wear on your wrist (which I think is the point). The two nail polishes included are THE THRILL OF BRAZIL & BLACK CHERRY CHUTNEY. I for one am especially fond of the black cherry chutney because it's almost on the verge of black, but if you catch the light the right way the colour is a true sultry black cherry with a lot of shine.

I think the hair bracelets are such a nice little bonus to add to your arm candy.

Let's take a closer look at the polishes

The Thrill of Brazil

and the ever sexy BLACK CHERRY CHUTNEY

I really appreciate having received this set, it definitely felt like Christmas already:)

I have been a long time fan of OPI especially there newer polish the "Liquid Sands" are amazing. I do find because I am busy a lot my nail polish tends to wear off quite easily, but no less OPI is a quality polish, that I will love for years to come.

There are several different gift sets that are prepackaged and ready to go. This is the info from the press release

"Pack the Essentials contains five classic nail lacquers in rich hues of purple and red, champagne glitter and soft pink and neutral crèmes, plus Start-to-Finish, packaged in a quilted train case.  Fit to Be Tied features three duo gift sets, each containing two lacquers and three glitter hair tie bracelets. Sweet on My Beau features two soft shades – Alpine Snow and Sweet Heart – and includes a metallic cosmetic bag with bow decal.

Perfect as a stocking stuffer for any nail lacquer lover, Take Ten offers the gift of variety, with ten iconic bestselling mini nail lacquers. And with the three top coats in Top This!, you can create a multitude of looks to add the perfect finishing touch to your manicure. But like St. Nick, these sets won’t be around for long!"

I hope all you fans of polish out there find one of these beauties in your stocking this coming holiday season;)

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
