Philosophy Cosmetics at Big Lots: The Master List

For those who missed my original post, Big Lots currently has LOTS of Philosophy color cosmetics for sale, and everything is priced at $3 each. This is an insane deal and, thanks to YOU, I'm able to compile lots of helpful information and a listing of everything that's been spotted to date.

UPDATE 5/14: As promised, I'm adding some pics from readers to this post, followed by pics and swatches of the products I have personally purchased. I also want to thank everyone who sent pics in that I did NOT use in this post. I received so many wonderful pics over the past week that I simply couldn't run them all, so I want to apologize if you took the time to send pics and you don't see them here. I'm so sorry about that!

Also, I'm afraid I didn't have time to update the master list (I'm working on six posts right now at the same time and there are just not enough minutes in the day for me to do everything I want to do). So I encourage you to read the comments on this post for items that you don't see on the master list. Eventually (this week, I hope) I will update the list. Sorry!

First up, SOME of you have spotted a dedicated end-cap for these products, such as the one that reader Sophia spotted at her Big Lots:

Sophia was also nice enough to share some pics of the items she purchased:

OTHER readers, such as myself, have spotted the Philosophy products in the regular makeup aisle. My pal Kimberly of Libby's Pink Vanity was nice enough to share this pic from her local Big Lots:

Next up, reader Staci was kind enough to share some pics of all the products she purchased:

And finally, here are the products I have personally purchased:

If I were to consider one product in this bunch a DEFINITE must-have, it's the Windows To The Soul Palette in Box of Truffles:

Three mattes and one shimmer!

Many years ago, I owned a Philosophy Eyeshadow Single that was a matte medium-toned brown. I used that thing until I hit pan, and was SO devastated when I ran out. Philosphy mattes are finely milled and smooth as silk, and the mattes in this palette are no exception. The second shade is VERY close to the single I owned back in the day, and I'm THRILLED about that:

Swatched with no primer:

 

I wish I could say that the Color of Grace duo in Heaven/Earth was a must-have too, but for me it's just a little "meh":

  
The colors are super basic, which is nice, but they're powdery and pretty sheer as well (swatched without primer):

I don't know how I feel about the Supernatural Lit From Within cream blush in Look On The Bright Side yet:

I love that it doesn't contain any shimmer, and I also love the blue-toned bubblegum pink color, but this blush is super creamy, which scares me. I don't know if it will have any staying power, and I also think it goes on pretty sheer. The swatch below was taken after three applications:

Now here's a definitely "skip", in my opinion:

The Color of Grace retractable mini kabuki:

First of all, the brush has a faux leather finish, which I foresee becoming a little icky after a few washings. Also, the bristles are rough, and after opening the brush twice, it shed...a lot. I'd skip this one.

ONE MORE THING: I've also heard from a handful of readers who have spotted CK Cosmetics at Big Lots recently. Again, these have been found outside of the regular beauty aisle, so be sure to check near the registers, etc. because you never know what you'll find...and where! Victoria on Facebook spotted a CK baby blue eyeshadow called Wedgewood for $5.50 and reader Tracy spotted Infinite Balance Cream to Powder Foundation for $8.
