Amazing Grace? Amazing for sure!

Advantages: Light, pretty and not overly expensive.
Disadvantages: The scent can wear off quite quickly.

...Philosophy products are amazing and I doubt anyone would disagree, although expensive they smell incredible and do exactly what they're meant to. Amazing Grace has been a favourite scent of mine for a while, ever since I tried the body lotion. My boyfriend suprised me with the perfume and I was hooked. It is the ultimate, english rose, sunny day out in the park kinda scent. Light and breezy with just enough floral notes to make people ask what you're wearing. It smells like you're walking through a field of flowers without being disgustingly sweet. In short it is perfect. Also ideal if like me, you dont want to smell like every other woman sauntering down the high street! The bottle is also conveniently small enough to slip into your handbag should you need a top up throughout the day!...

Philosophy Cinnamon Buns

Advantages: (+) smells like a bakery - yummy!
Disadvantages: (-) price

...THIS IS ONE OF MY 4am REVIEWS - IT REQUIRES MAJOR FORMATTING SO APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR THE LACK OF STRUCTURE :) This scent is delightful sniffing right out of the bottle. Smells exactly like cinnamon buns to me, especially the icing part. As a bubble bath, it bubbles nicely and it makes my skin feel very soft afterwards! This is definately the best 3 in 1 by philosophy. And believe me, I've tried a ton of them. The scent does not linger on most of them, but on this one, it does. I know people who only use it in the winter time, to give them that warm feeling, but I use this regularly. The lather is lovely and creamy, and a real pleasure to use. It's not at all drying or abrasive. but it did work nicely as a shaving cream The scent is a soft, warm, sweet cinnamon (slightly buttery, very creamy and foodie), rather...

Review of Philosophy Cinnamon Buns

Philosophy

Advantages: Lots of freedom, broad and deep immersion in the subject
Disadvantages: Little feedback, little sense of community

...Doing philosophy at UCL can be an unsettling experience. No one will check if you don't attend lectures, tutorials are once a week, with essays every three weeks, and if you don't prepare for these, well, nobody cares. The course is traditional, you study for 5 compulsory papers, broadly covering the history and major areas of philosophy, and 3 optional ones (details of which are on the departmental website). It's all in the analytic tradition, and there's little exploration of philosophical issues as they apply to other areas at the moment eg. bioethics, the nature of information, cultural relativism. Its definitely straight, traditional philosophy. If this is really what appeals to you, and you don't mind the difficulties travelling all over London to attend lectures, then I would recommend the course. You are definitely given...

Gracefully Funny

Advantages: Fun acting, excellent timing, beautiful setting, lots of laughs
Disadvantages: No smell-o-vision!!!!! Too smooth an ending.

...character in "Between the Sheets" showed us how she can play a prude who learns to unleash her sexuality. Here, she is none of these - she plays the part of Grace Trevethyn, a just-beyond-middle aged widow who has lived very comfortably all her life, only to find out after her husband's death that she is not only penniless, but heavily in debt. She is strong enough to accept the existence of her husband's mistress Honey (played by Diana Quick), but weak enough to know that her financial situation is close to hopeless. Grace is well aware of her strengths and weaknesses - the former being nothing more profitable than her skills as a gardener, who grows orchids (which could be a profitable endeavor, but, sadly not nearly enough to rid her of the tremendous financial difficulties that seem to mount with each scene). Craig Ferguson co...

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE NATURAL LOOK

Advantages: One application really does last/multi-tasking product
Disadvantages: wee bit pricey ... but worth it

...Us women are complicated animals aren?t we ? ? We want to appear as if we are not wearing a scrap of make up, but we still want to achieve a flawless complexion to anyone close enough to be inspecting ? A no make-up look gained through wearing make up cleverly - is it any wonder our men are confused! I?m a lucky lass me, and was happy to find some facial assistance under our Christmas tree this year from my hubby, in the form of a box of goodies put together by U.S company ?Philosophy? which he had purchased via QVC. The Philosophy range is not one I have used before, although I have often commented on how nicely packaged, although minimalist (and expensive) their products always appeared. Perhaps part of the attraction was also the clever wording used on all their packaging - their little paragraphs of wisdom relating in some...

Is philosophy purity made simple really that simple

Advantages: Gentle on the skin, non drying
Disadvantages: Expensive

...THE BOTTLE The bottle is a white semi opaque color with a black lid which is a flip up lid. On the front of the bottle is name of the product following this there is writing which says: philosophy: purity is natural. we come into this world with all the right instincts. we are innocent, and therefore perceive things as they as they should be, rather than how they are. our conscience is clear, our hands are clean, and the world at large is truly beautiful. it is at this time we feel most blessed. to begin feeling young again, we must begin with the most basic step of all; the daily ritual of cleansing. After this writing it tells us this is a one-step facial cleanser which is repeated in french. Below this is the amount in the bottle which is 8fl.oz. - 236.6ml. On the back of the bottle is what the cleanser is...

Where Theres A Will There's A Grace

Advantages: Funny show.
Disadvantages: Very stereotypical.

...Will & Grace is a Emmy award winning sitcom that aired between 1998-2006. The show takes place in New York City and focuses on Will Truman, a gay lawyer and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight Jewish girl who runs her own interior design firm. That show sounds boring, why is it so good I hear you ask. The casting directors hired two perfect actors to play Will & Grace. Eric McCormack who plays Will isn't too gay like someone else in the show, so it makes it seem plausible that Grace thought he was straight. Debra Messing who plays Grace is just so bubbly and eccentric that you can't help but love her. Most importantly though it's the chemistry between Will & Grace that pulls you in, I myself always thought that they'd get together in the end. The show doesn't just focus around these two characters though, two of the best...

Review of Will & Grace

Grace - Simon Webbe

Advantages: A decent pop album
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

...You will probably know of Simon Webbe as he was in the popular british boy band Blue, since they split up a couple of years ago he has gone solo and released two albums. He is the most successful solo member from Blue, and out of all four members he probably has the best voice. He has been compared to other artists such as Lighthouse Family and Seal; I can definitely see the comparisons with these artists as their music is similar. Grace is Simon's second album and is full of soulful pop songs. Coming Around Again - This was the first single from the album, and is a catchy feel good song about how if you have troubles on your mind you should put them to one side and watch the good times come round again. This is definitely one of the stand out tracks on the album and a good choice for the first single. Seventeen - I really like...

What Philosophy is Microdelivery

Advantages: Gentle enough to use every day, a glow to the skin, non drying
Disadvantages: Expensive

...'s not bad it just smells soapy, I suppose it's a good thing that it's not perfumed. The Philosophy Microdelivery Wash is available from QVC or High End department stores and the cheapest I found it was £21.60 in John Lewis. So you can see it is expensive but in my opinion well worth it....
