if it sells thats all that they care about so thats why they keep doin the same sorta tsv every time

Absolutely love Pure Grace, and wear it as my daily fragrance. Will definitely be talking nice to the OH to make sure he buys this and puts it away for my birthday at the start of next year! He bought me the philosophy Christmas TSV last year, but for this Christmas he is buying me Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf :clapping:

I love that too :happy: The big shops on the high street now stock them also. I stopped buying Philosophy from QVC, because when I bought one of their "made for QVC" sets (I bought it for the layering effect) the bath stuff did not have the fragrance, not even a faint whiff, it smelt only of alcohol :sad: Those days I did not send back items that I had already used, especially heavy stuff, so I kept the set.........I used the fragrance which was OK. I am always wary of "made for QVC" or "exclusive for QVC" somehow they are sub standard.

Yep they are popular. Well popular with me re this collection. Their last tsv was fab value. A hoping 'the price is right'!

I remember lots of lovely TSV's in the Lee years but since he left the company the products have been so boring. I always stayed up till midnight on TSV night. Now I don't even bother to watch the shows.

Same here and infact one day I got mixed up and sat up til midnight on the day before:blush:

I'd buy a fragrance TSV if they made a Gingerbread man fragrance. But it seems that they aren't even making the gingerbread shower gel and scrub anymore :mysmilie_512:

 

[Snowstorm]

Gingerbread fragrance sounds good!!

I've just bought a duo of Philosophy "Candy Cane" from Debenhams/John Lewis. Candy Cane is their really fresh peppermint sweet stunning scent. I bought a shower gel and a salt body scrub in it, was £36 for the duo but at least they are yummy in comparison to the boring (imo) Graces. Free postage too!!! The salt scrub is boxed and a lovely heavy tub, so good value. You could literally eat it!

They also had a Candy Cane lip shine/gloss too but I think their lipshines are a bit gluey/sticky.

Perhaps they will have some new sets for us seen as this is a TSV show, last year I ordered a Vanilla Whipped Cream set but QVC cocked up and never had the stock to supply it, but the intention to buy it was totally all there lol. This had the gift bags in with it too so hopefully it will return in the next few days. They have a Mango one listed but I've never smelt it to know if its strong or not. Anybody tried it??

I nb buying a Gingerbread one too, it smelt wonderful - just like American Ginger Ale, rather than heavy spicy ginger.

I've had the candy cane and the gingerbread. I love both! The salt scrubs are fabulous. I also used to adore their tubs of thick body butter, but they only appear to do a thinner lotion now.

From mobile, please excuse any silly errors!!

I like this stuff too. Buy from town but I wish the presenter who was doing philosophy, the guy with a bit of a beard, he was lovely, really liked him, yet Alison was quite cutting with him, making remarks and trying to make the man look an idiot. Well he wasnt an idiot and I liked him, I kind of been waiting to see if he comes back on for Philosophy but last time was someone else

 

[Capirossi]

In fact am about to have a bath and am going to use my gingerbread scrub, shower gel and body butter

Bliss!

From mobile, please excuse any silly errors!!

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

they do have new sets just look for it in the new beauty item thread

I will be in Debenhams later today to redeem my £8 off Natio products that's in today's Daily Telegraph (nothing to do with topic I know!) and will have to march past the philosophy counter head down so as to not get side tracked. Recently I was wasting time in the beauty dept of Debenhams before going upstairs to the hair salon, and managed to spend £40 at the philosophy counter! Although I did get a big bottle of Sugar Chick shower gel for £7, and am now hooked on the toasted marshmallow scent :happy:

 

[LE lover]

Love pure Grace but this TSV is boring and predictable . Time for some new beauty buyers if this is the best they can come up with .

 

[tristar]

I will get one of these in Pure grace for me, and one in baby grace for my sister.

 

[loveheart]

I will get one of these in Pure grace for me, and one in baby grace for my sister.

I don't think there is a Baby Grace choice.

 

[LE lover]

I will get one of these in Pure grace for me, and one in baby grace for my sister.

i think its a choice between pure and amazing.

 

[Sazza]

Yes it is Pure and Amazing Grace only. Baby Grace has been discontinued.

 

[China Girl]

I think Amazing grace smells like floral air freshener.

 

[LE lover]

I think Amazing grace smells like floral air freshener.

funny you should say that because i feel exactly the same about Amazing Grace, yet i love the pure Grace which a lot of people think smells of ordinary air freshener.

My main bugbear with all the philosophy fragrances is their lack of staying power.

if anyone gets a heads up on new Philosophy items for the TSV day I would love to hear ... thank you!!! )
