Give the gift of gorgeous hair this holiday season with Philip B.!

How about no more bad hair days as a present to your loved ones? Think of the treat it is to experience the best of the best in utterly chic packaging. You get all this and more with Philip B.! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.

Philip B. has expanded its product range to provide a whole-body approach to beautiful hair and luxurious living.

Forever Shine Body Wash is complimentary to that hair product line. The scent is of a high-end designer unisex perfume. To my nose, I get oud, rich spice wood, lightened by sweet citrus. It’s silky upon application, great for shaving. This is what they say about it: “This luxurious daily wash contains a mix of skin-care powerhouses to leave you feeling cleansed and refreshed. (L-)Amino Acids and (Pea) Peptides support radiant, healthy-looking skin, while Safflower Oleosomes help lock in moisture for a soft, dewy feel.

Prompted by popular demand and ideal for all skin types, the formula makes a perfect complement to our best-selling Forever Shine Shampoo: Its fresh Velvet Oud scent (with citrus notes that open to florals and exotic woods) is naturally derived, sophisticated and spirit-lifting.”

What ups the luxury factor? Layering the scent with Forever Shine Body Creme! While it’s super-moisturizing, it’s very spreadable and absorbs in a non-greasy way. It comes in gold foil packaging, so festive! This is what they say about it: “A rich cocktail of Amino Acids and Peptides tightens and conditions skin; Shea Butter and Vitamin E offer a concentrated dose of moisture; and time-released Safflower Oleosomes help you feel hydrated longer. Even better, the formula pampers you with the fresh, sophisticated scent of Velvet Oud. Crafted from plant-based citrus, floral and woody notes, it’s one of the most exquisite fragrances we’ve ever composed.”

I’d always heard that sleeping on a silky pillow is better than snagging your hair on cotton linens, but I never really tried it! Their Silky Smooth Pillowcase is a glam gift for everyone, even those who resist thinking that their glam! It’s so comfortable and inviting, my beautifully tressed little dog, Madam C.J., shoves me over in the middle of the night and usurps the pillow. I’m definitely looking forward to the benefits of non-breaking hair over time, as it’s very hard to grow out my own. It’s a soothing platinum-champagne color. This is what they say about it:

  • Designed from silk-alternative (rPET), our Silky Smooth Pillowcase is the luxurious way to pamper your hair as you rest. This pillowcase reduces friction and tugging leaving your locks smoother and more manageable, allowing you to wake up to smooth, shiny and healthy-looking hair. 
  • Helps reduce breakage, tangles and frizz. 
  • Its gentle surface helps to preserve your hairstyle overnight. 
  • Silky smooth fibers are less absorbent than many other fibers, helping to maintain your hair and skin’s moisture. 
  • Protects your bedding from hair and beauty products. 
  • Zipper closure design prevents slipping. 
  • One Size (Queen) 74cm x 49cm. 

I think ever since Breakfast at Tiffany’s that everyone knows that wearing a eye mask ensures the ultimate self-care night of sleep. The Silky Smooth Sleep gives your loved one the ultimate gift: sound beauty sleep, whatever the time of day or night. It has a different structure than most: the straps go around your ears, not your head, for a less intrusive fit. This is what they say about it: “

Designed from silk-alternative (rPET), our Silky Smooth Sleep Mask is the luxurious accessory for relaxation day and night. Experience serenity with our silk-alternative sleeping mask, thoughtfully designed for unparalleled comfort. 

  • Silk-alternative (rPET) helps to provide a luxurious friction-free barrier. 
  • Adjustable ear-fastening straps eliminate any pressure on the head, ensuring a perfect fit without disrupting your hairstyle or causing tangling, creasing, knotting, and breaking. 
  • Unique oversized design provides ample coverage and generous padding, blocking out all light for a deep sleep or peaceful meditation experience.  

Plan out your hair wash a little bit: Apply Rejuvenating Oil at least 20 minutes ahead of time. This lightweight oil actually gives body to your style along with sheen, instead of weighing it down. It’s in a dark glass bottle with dropper. This is what they say about it:

Packed with super-light essential plant and flower-derived oils, our legendary conditioning oil sinks in to revitalize hair, leaving it looking exquisitely bouncy and shiny. 

  • Pumps dull, dry, hair with precious moisture. 
  • Promotes a glossy looking finish. 
  • Hydrates hair to leave it feeling smooth, manageable and tangle-free. 
  • Gives a voluminous look to fine, limp strands. 
  • Lifts away oils and product buildup, leaving your scalp feeling tingly clean.

If you do intense workouts, wear knit hats, use a sizable amount of style products, you probably need a hair wash that does a lot more. You need exfoliation, deep cleaning, but probably also deep moisturizing: you’re not looking to strip your hair. Peppermint Avocado Scalp Scrub is very new and now. It has a creamy peppermint candy scent and thick, rich consistency. Sea salt is what gives the exfoliation. You scoop some out of a tub and use it instead of shampoo. Very spa-like! This is what they said about it:

A luxurious crème shampoo and sea-salt scalp scrub in one, this unique formula gently exfoliates the scalp while washing away dirt, oil, styling products and environmental buildup. The result: The kind of bouncy-looking, lush-feeling hair you’ve always dreamed of. Our exquisite mix of Sea Salt Avocado, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Witch Hazel, Arnica Flower and Aloe makes your scalp feel clean and refreshed. 

  • Sea Salt gently exfoliates your scalp. 
  • Avocado, Peppermint and Eucalyptus Oils create a tingly-cool sensation. 
  • Arnica Flower Extract, Witch Hazel Water and Aloe Leaf Juice condition for a shinier, more manageable look and feel.

What you use after you jump out of the shower is extremely important to how manageable and shiny your hair is that day. Detangling Toning Mist has always been part of the original Philip B. routine to really do a glow-up for your hair. Now, there’s an even more fabulous rendition: Detangling Toning Mist – Velvet Oud Hyaluronate has a more citrus-leaning version of their oud fragrance. You mist it on for it to work its magic against the harsh pH of tap water. This is what they say about it:

We love pH sprays for the way they detangle and tone hair, leaving it with a glossier look and a smoother, more manageable feel. This water-light formula is as decadent as it gets. It infuses hair with the opulent, woody-floral scent of Velvet Oud. Meanwhile, a touch of citrus extracts and hyaluronate helps counteract the harsh pH of tap water to un-tease tangles, fight frizz and leave your hair feeling supple, bouncy and fresh.    

  • Water-light leave-in toner with the sexy, woody-floral scent of Velvet Oud  – an opulent alternative to our classic Detangling Toning Mist.  
  • Hyaluronate and citrus extracts detangle, fight frizz, and make strands feel supremely smooth and manageable.  
  • Gives hair a fresh, glossy look.

People have been recommending using a thermal protectant before any heat styling for a long time, but do you do it? Thermal Protection Spray – Oud is another way to layer that stunning fragrance and protect your hair without weighing it down with goop. This is what they say about it:

A botanically-powered heat protectant and weightless primer that creates a barrier between your hair and your styling tool, reducing moisture loss and taming frizz. Time-released hydrators leave hair with a sexy, textured feel; a glossier look; and the light, opulent scent of Royal Oud. 

  • Ultra-light formula helps you perfect your style without weighing it down.  
  • Safflower Oleosomes, Artichoke Leaf Extract, Mongogo Oil, Vitamin E, and a potent L-Amino Acid Complex add a barrier between fragile strands and UV rays or heated styling tools, sealing in moisture so hair looks and feels healthier. 
  • Pampers hair with the light, sweet-woody scent of Oud.
