I was glad to see it wasn't a supersized bundle until.....

I went back to my past autodeliveries and a similar set was a TSV in March, at least that's when I ordered it. It was 32oz, same components with a puff for $99. I canceled that auto delivery since I was taking a long time to get through the big bottles.

This looks like a good set! I've never tried the olive oil scrub, but I imagine it would be lovely.

I still have a 64oz set from a long time ago for an 80ish something price point. I love that size and wish that it would reappear.

I recieved this set today in pure grace. It's a winner! FYI did not realize just how similar baby grace is to pure grace. I have a baby and smelled them side by side. I mat get a second set. A person could break this up and make several gifts.

I don't see any similarities between Pure Grace and Baby Grace.

I do not think Pure Grace and Baby Grace smell alike at all. I love Pure Grace. It smells like clothes that have been hung up to dry on a clothes line to me., and I am not fan of BG, it smells like baby powder to me.

It just seems to me Philosophy charges way too much and gives away to little. I am a beauty junkie and many product that are much better give so much more product at a lower price. I also have had several issues where products I received from other stores where the products were rotten or in bad quality. I used to use philosophy exclusively years ago but they really need to lower their prices they are no way close to other department store brands anymore. It's a shame. I still love purity and the exfoliating wash but they need to make the brand great again.

Oh I am probably going to have to get this one. I love the Olive Oil Scrub, it is so nice and gentle and smells great and my skin is super soft after using it, my husband loves it too!!!!!!!I just need to decide if I want Falling in Love, or Pure Grace-love them both!!!!!!!Last time I got FIL , so maybe this time it will be Pure Grace!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!

I would have to disagree on baby grace smelling similar to pure grace, I ordered baby grace in the past and the smell was so overwhelming and nauseating that I had to ship it back immediately, couldn't get rid of it fast enough, lol. But we are all different, good thing there are a variety of scents to choose from. For those who think that philosophy charges too much, I recommend you sign up at their website. The deals are awesome, I just received two 32 oz bottles of AG & PG for free with my purchase and two weeks ago I got 30% off. I think they are very generous. The tsv's are great deals too if you consider all you are getting for the price.

You are right......32 oz sizes for the cleansers compared to 17 oz in this kit. 8oz whipped cream in April and now 9 oz with the 4 oz eau de parfum last time and only a 2 oz spray fragrance in this kit plus 0.5 oz size.

If this was priced much lower, it would be a great kit. They are taking advantage of Christmas and stocking stuffer with this price....no way is this a good value.

I really hate to miss a TSV in skincare with Philosophy but it's only $10 less than the March/April TSV with much less product.

yeah i sort of hate to say it, but this is true. i am very tempted to get this kit but i still have several auto delivery plans that give me basically double the amount for basically the same (or slightly less) money. the travel/gift sizes are really nice but i can use my own travel bottles and refill them from the large bottles. these sets are very nice and im sure many people will enjoy them. the value shopper/longtime philosophy girl in me will have a problem paying so much for these amounts.

remember a few years ago when the holiday tsv kits came to something in the $70 AFTER shipping and tax were added? the first one i ever got had a 16 oz 3-in-1, 2 oz edp, 4 oz hand cream and 8 oz lotion. it was like 60 bucks total and had only a one time shipping and handling charge. those were the days! i know a lot of people don't like the super sizes so these smaller holiday kits are so nice for that-- it just seems like (despite the fact that they are great deals compared to buying all products separately) those people get penalized on the price. i know prices change with inflation and whatnot but still... it's a lot of money.

I order their big Philosophy set at Christmas every year to me from my husband. lol. I am glad to see the Olive Scrub which I have yet to try. And omg the whipped body butter is amazing!

But my husband has never cared for the Amazing Grace scent. He is asthmatic and has a million allergies but he would never say ugh dont wear this or that. (And, I love it the best of all and get many compliments, mostly at Dr offices).

But anyway, this year, I think I am going to order Pure Grace, only because the way it is described as a clean smell. Maybe my husband wont be sensitive to that.(Plus I have a lot of Amazing Grace on hand and one of my kids may get me more @ Christmas too!!)...

I love Philosophy so IMO I cant go wrong!
