It puts the lotion on the skin....

December 4, 2008 2:26 pm · Posted by oldergirlbeauty
(...yeah, I am sure I will use that reference *waaay* too much). Anyway...

I ordered a coat from QVC, (double breasted wool peacoat, btw), and in the box was a 4oz bottle of Philosophy's Amazing Grace Perfumed Firming Body Emulsion, (hell of a name, eh?), which I *didn't* order. I looked on the site, and I can't even find any kit, etc., that even has this size bottle in it. So, I am going to consider this a deluxe sample GWP. Thanks, QVC.

Now, my problem is that I don't really care for the scent of Amazing Grace. Just too powdery for me. However, as it is winter and I do get the itchies, I am always on the lookout for a good lotion. If the scent goes away quickly, then I wouldn't mind using it, but if it lingers, then, meh.

But, I am also curious about this "firming" it claims. This size doesn't seem like I would really see any results from it in this amount of time to encourage me to purchase this again. So, I ask you - have any of you tried this and is it worth my time to use it, ignoring the smell? Tell me true...

Just the 10 of us

Okay, really, when did I become the girl with 10 lipglosses/lip balms/lipsticks in her purse? Seriously, this is what I have in my purse RIGHT NOW:

C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine (Remind me to tell you about going to the original apothecary)
SoftLips Cherry Lip Protectant (mmm...cherry)
Philosophy Green Apple Flavored Lip Shine (OMG, seriously, I eat this stuff off my lips)
Hershey's Almond Lip Balm (I have *such* a soft spot for Almond flavor/scent)
Blistex Lip Infusion Soothing Splash (this is like putting water on your lips)
Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick (my first "fancy" (upscale) lipstick)
MAC Petting Pink Tinted Lip Conditioner (my current fave!)
CoverGirl Mauve Shine 490 TruShine LipColor (pretty color - mauve looks good on me)
CoverGirl Petal Shine 425 TruShine LipColor (so light, but goes well over others)
Avon Sparkling Mauve Ultra Color Rich Lipstick (got this after I wanted to try it on - mauve - again)
bareMinerals Brillance Lip Gloss (From the Champagne Diamond collection on QVC)(see?)

Okay, maybe I just don't want to take any of these out, because it seems like they are all mostly different, but still....wow.
