Review of Philosophy Pure Grace Perfumed Shower Cream

I love trying new bath products, when my mom was given a birthday basket filled with a few Philosophy products, I knew I too would be soaking in the luxury. I spotted a bunch of fragrances from the company that I had never gotten my hands on, nor have I even gotten to smell them in a store.

The first I tried was Amazing Grace; a 3 in 1 that sucked. When I spotted Pure Grace Perfumed Shower Cream I assumed it would suck just the same. Bland, barely scented, and boring.

I unscrewed the top to the cream and took a sniff. Meh...it smelled just as bland as Amazing Grace did.

Pure Grace had a clean soapy scent, but it was so light, that I did not think it wold impress me in the shower. I went ahead and tried it anyway....even if I already had this good hunch that this was going to be a boring shower.

Inside of the see through bottle Pure Grace looked a lot more promising than Amazing Grace did. It had a very thick looking texture, with a nice shiny pearl shimmer added to the gel. I imagined though this would only make the gel thicker and would allow it to lather a lot more then a more watery 3 in 1 would. Still though, some consider shower creams better than shower gels.

Pure Grace was certainly thick...but at the same time it was still very much a gel.
 
Every Philosophy bottle has a cute little rhyme or motivational saying. Pure Grace also comes with it's own cute little description.
 
My Use:
 
I poured a decent amount of Pure Grace Perfumed Shower Cream into my lovey dovey purple fuzzy bath poof, and began to work a lather in my hands.

Pure Grace produced a very luscious and creamy lather that felt like silk to my skin. Unfortunately Pure Grace, like it's sister Amazing Grace, failed to grace my body with scent. Don't get me wrong, there is a scent, it does produce a scent; however the scent is so light that it is barely noticeable, and what you do smell of it is not something that you would adore so much that you would want to purchase Pure Grace again and again.

After rinsing and drying off, I can say that my skin felt very clean, and very soft after using Pure Grace. I did enjoy the lather, and I did enjoy the way it felt on my skin. The lather though is something I have felt before. I knew I could get the same results from a cheap milk gel, or Walmart shower gel special.

It is my overall opinion that Pure Grace Perfumed Shower Cream is way overpriced for what it does. It may feel great on the skin, but the scent is weak, and the price is too high for me to recommend it. Way too high actually.
 
In my opinion Pure Grace would get 2 stars out of 5.

It has a nice creamy lather, but other than that it does not do much for me.

A 16 ounce bottle of Pure Grace Perfumed Shower Cream comes to $22.00. The larger 24 ounce bottle comes to $30.00. That to me is just extreme. I would however recommend it to those who do not like highly scented products; but I would only recommend it to you if the price tag was cut down by 70%.
