I’m not crazy about all of these scents but some are lovely and make wonderful Xmas presents for the young girls in my life (nieces, best friend’s daughter, etc.)

I think I must be the only person who doesn’t like Philosophy’s body washes! I’ve hated all but one of the scents I’ve smelled (field of flowers being the one I liked) & I just hate the way my skin feels after i’ve used it. These are aren’t my cup of tea!

They have so many sweet/candy smells, ugh I seem to be in the extreme minority of people who hate those smells as well.

The only ones I’ve liked are the holiday lights aglow and twinkle berry, they came in a duo last year for the holidays. I’m disappointed it’s not out this year, and I had only seen it that one time.

I’ve used the Candy Cane line and it is ammmaaaazzzzziiiiiinnnnnngggggg!

It tingles so it’s great for waking you up in the morning <3 I love winter scents.

Philosophy!! I think your stuff is a litle overpriced for what it is, but if you’d made a gingerbread lip shine, I probably would’ve bought at least two for myself.

…I love ginger everything, and I lack a ginger lip product in my life.

What I don’t want about these products is its smell. I do not prefer sweet scents for it makes me think that I am sticky (hahahha). I prefer flower scented products for its relaxing to me. maybe I have to passed on this one.

The Toasty Cabin set and Pumpkin Pie body wash are exactly my type. I wish the Red Velvet lipgloss was sold individually, though. But I like both Red Velvet and Bubbly, so the set might not be too bad.
