We had mixed feelings about this product....

Firstly, Gingerbread. What Gingerbread? We were expecting this to be that lovely warm gingerbread fragrance - not in the slightest I'm afraid. Instead it's a very fresh smell - a hint of lemon, but not quite, it's difficult to quite work out what it smells like.

After we got over the fact that this isn't gingerbread - "it's just the colour that's gingerbread, get over it" - we actually tried it out!

It is slightly sticky when you apply it - it doesn't absorb quickly, but it does apply evenly. If you can wait a few minutes after application it will leave skin feeling ok - just ok mind you, not fabulous.

The bit we liked most about this product was the shimmer - probably no point for the palest of skins, but it will give a nice subtle shimmer. The darker your skin the better the shimmer seems to be - always subtle though so don't expect sparkles galore.

Any fan of philosophy is bound to love the shower gels... well, we say shower gel, but their 3-in-1 products are a real treat, working well as a shampoo and conditioner as well as a luxurious body wash.

Pina Colada is a true cocktail fragrance, so much so that it's very tempting to taste it - please don't though!!

As a shampoo and conditioner the fragrance lingers in your hair all day, so Pina Colada is a great choice for summertime and holidays.

The fragrance lingers less so on the body - as designed by Philosophy - so you get a fabulous scent while bathing or showering, but you can still wear your usual body lotions and fragrances without worrying about clashing with a fragranced body wash.

We believe Pina Colada has been discontinued by Philosophy.

Oil-free sea salt formula which is ideal for use before shaving or self-tanning. Excellent on rough, flaky skin, this leaves skin smooth and moisturised.

Senorita Margarita is uplifting with a fresh lime scent, pefect for a morning shower!

A rich and indulgent cream, ideal for those with particularly dry hands. Good for wintertime and if your hands are often in water.

Applied twice a day you will really see an improvement to your hands as they look younger, smoother and are generally in much better condition. Apply a little at a time - too much and it'll make your hands quite greasy.

This is a good cream for the 'white glove treatment' - apply in a generous layer, pop on some cotton gloves and wear overnight.

An absolute must!

We love Philosophy's Soul Owner as it instantly soothes and exfoliates to leave your feet looking and feeling great.

Used regularly there's little need for any other products for your feet - some of our testers even set aside the pumice stone while using this.

This is a great 'emergency' product too - you know when you wake up in the morning and you'd really like to wear sandals but your feet are in a bad way?! Well, this may help you out :-)
