Philosophy: 3-in-1

I’m never been a fan of 2-in-1 products (all-in-one shampoo and conditioners being the worst), so I was a little wary of Philosophy 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath. I’ve had my eye on them forever because of their wonderful “flavors” (Champagne, Red Velvet Cake, Margarita — all of which rank amidst my favorite things to eat/drink…the question though is do you want to smell like any of those things..). I have gifted Philosophy sets a few times when I’ve been invited to parties where I didn’t know the host that well…I figure why get a bottle of champagne when you can be more original and get your host some Bubbly🙂 That said, until recently I hadn’t tried any of their products myself. Now that I have though I have to say I’m a little obssessed with them..It’s one of those things where you try one and kind of have the urge to try them all! Though I would never use these as a shampoo, they are wonderful for shower gel and bubble bath (not the longest-lasting softness and a little foamy-ier than I typically like, but come on who else is going to leave you smelling like cinnamon buns!. If you’re worried about the smell, it’s not that long-lasting (which can be good or bad), and while you can distinctly make-out that say Red Velvet Cake actually smells like red velvet cake, it’s not in an obnoxious-turn-your-stomach-upside-down way (like so many of those awful candy/chocolate-scented products aimed mostly at youngsters). After trying and liking Red Velvet, I also picked-up Vanilla Birthday Cake and Mimosa both of which were delicious:) If you’re not feeling foodie, Grace (selected as one of Oprah’s favorite things for 2005!), is a wonderfully feminine, floral option.
