Good morning!
Today’s two-minute review features the Philosophy Amazing Grace Whipped Body Creme. Keep reading if you want a quick overview of my opinions!
Sometime last year, I wanted to find my ‘signature scent.’ I wanted it to be sweet but clean. Warm but have a bossy energy to it. Rich, soft life-type vibes, you know? This fragrance had always been suggested for those who wanted to smell clean and fresh from a bubble bath. But I think this one is a bit too…on the nose.
Ladies and gents and everyone in between, it smells like soap. It reminds me of Ivory soap. It smells like I just cleaned myself and then decided to sit in a tub of soapy water for an hour. LOL. Which is not necessarily bad if that’s what you’re into!
On the website, it’s advertised as floral, soft and clean, with bergamot and musk. It also says it has a lightweight, whipped texture that leaves the skin smooth and lightly fragranced. It does have a whipped texture. Once you rub your hand over a section that’s been moisturized, it definitely feels smooth. It has a nice shine when the light hits it. And it keeps its scent, which is not as strong as I made it seem earlier.
Unfortunately, my skin is super dry on my body. I mean, after an hour, I think my skin inhaled it like a vacuum cleaner. It disappears on me. It took me a while to realize that my skin was just dry, so half of the container was gone before I started mixing it with a body oil to help it last longer, which certainly helps.
At $41 for 8 ounces, I’m unsure if it’s worth it for me. Because I’m not the biggest fan of the scent, I’d have to use so much to keep my skin moisturized, and I also needed to mix it with something else; it gets a 2.5/5. Maybe I would have better luck with the Warm Vanilla fragrance from Philosophy, but I have about 30 samples to make my way through before settling on one. Maybe I’ll tell you how that works out for me in a post here.
Any suggestions on thicker body cremes would be appreciated! I’ve been looking for a good one for years at this point. Besides pure Shea Butter, I haven’t found one.
Thanks for reading! Have a beautiful day 🙂
