Did you catch the comment that reader CaleyMarie left on the You Tell Me page yesterday? If case you missed it:
I just spotted a ton of Philosophy Color Cosmetics all for only $3 at Big Lots in La Canada Flintridge, CA. There was cream blushes, illuminators, a small pallette with lip, eye and cheek colors, an spf 20 makeup and some eye duos.
Philosophy cosmetics at Big Lots? That was enough to compel me to drive straight to my nearest Big Lots after work yesterday to see if I could spot them myself! Sadly, I didn't spot any Philosophy cosmetics there (if YOU have, please let us know!), but I did spot some great polish deals (again!) that I wanted to share with you:
Don't get too excited: there's only one shade (Violet Night). But still, for $3? That's a steal!
Some (newer) 4-packs of Revlon polishes for $6. These contain the following shades:
Fire Fox (Matte Suede finish)
Devilish
Oh My Magenta
Demure
Devilish
Oh My Magenta
Demure
And last but not least, remember the Revlon Sweetly Seductive Collection from Summer 2011? The one with all those pretty, scented jellies with the tiny flakies? Well I spotted FOUR of the eight shades in that collection in 2-packs at my Big Lot for--get this--$2 each! Two-packs for two bucks!!
Mint Fizz and Pineapple Fizz
Orange Fizz and Colada Fizz
You can check out Nicole's swatches of Orange Fizz here and Colada Fizz here.
What have YOU spotted at YOUR local Big Lots lately? Anything good? Please share!
We have a brand spanking new Big Lots in my town.. I need to get over there and check things out!
ReplyDeleteDo it!! And good luck! :)
DeleteI'm in San Diego and I spotted CK makeup in ours.
ReplyDeleteOooh, may I ask what location? I'm in SD too. :)
DeletePS: If you feel uncomfortable posting the location in a comment, you can email me instead! Thanks so much!!
It was the Mira Mesa location. They had eye shadows as well as some foundations. =)
DeleteI picked up a Revlon 2 pack with Modern Grace & Luxe Laque the other day, both from last years summer collection-- such great colors! Also saw some of the scented polish duos. So glad I stopped in Big Lots!
ReplyDeleteI have a hot date with Big Lots, tonight. hoping for a score. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the head's up!
Oh, and thank you! thank you! thank you!!! A thousand times for removing the word verification. Those mangled words just kill me. *muah!*
ReplyDeleteI want to go check out Big Lots so bad, but I'm on a no-buy for the month of May. Too many other things that I need to spend money on ;_;
ReplyDeleteI was at two Big Lots in South Florida and they do not have the Philosophy. However, one of them had the SH nail strips - one color, Cry Baby which is a sort of hot light pink. The other one had Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer for $2! I couldn't believe it! I had just bought some off of eBay for $9 apiece (grrr!). They had lots of maybelline actually (mineral makeup).
ReplyDeleteI don't know if my comment already posted, a bit confused on that, but my two S. Fla Big Lots did not have Philosophy but one did have the SH nail strips in Cry Baby and they did have CK makeup. The other one had Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer for those of you who miss it! I picked up for 4, at $2 a piece!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Big Lots had Wet n Wild Flower Power eyeshadow sets.
ReplyDeleteMy north Cincinnati Big Lots has SH nail strips in red and ghoulie girl, and lots of the Revlon packs. One had carbonite, demure, ruby ribbon, and a lilac color. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE big lots...too bad the one closest to me has nothing beauty related!!! I literally have to drive 2 hours to get to a big lots filled with a ton of beauty products!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Lots at Chapel Hill in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio is CHOCK-FULL of Philosophy Products, as well as the CK Infinite Balance Creme to Powder Foundation for $8.00 USD.
ReplyDeletePhilosophy products I found (every product sold for $3.00 USD): Eye Hope concealer (in Extra Light), Supernatural Instant Sunshine Mineral Bronzer, Amazing Grace Shimmering Face Powder, Heavenly Light Pink Illuminator, Supernatural Superhealthy Hybrid Makeup spf 20, You Make Me Blush Mineral blush duo (in Healthy and Happy), Divine Illumination Love At First Light Ageless Skin Luminizer, and Supernatural Lit From Within Healthy Cream Blush
G, I took photos of the products mentioned, and bought some for myself. If you would like those photos, let me know!
Ah! I went back to Big Lots because I bought a set of 2 glass nail files for $2, realized they were amazing, and went back to buy every pack they had as gifts, and I found something I'd totally missed before: the As Seen on TV Salon Express Stamping Kit for $6.50! I got the last one, and I'm so glad I did, because I just bought a pack of bundle monster stamps and forgot the stamper- doh!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh! Stupid Canada! I've been looking for those Revlon 'Fizz' polishes everywhere. For two dollars I'd buy both packs, no hesitation! Thanks for the great post, though, despite all the jealousy :)
ReplyDeleteGot my wet n wild at big lots and also nail polish revlon at coral springs fl!
ReplyDeleteOh i am in coral springs as well..is it the one on university!! :) I am oging by after work
DeleteI just came back from my Big Lots (in IL) and while my store also didn't have Philosophy, it did have a TON of Revlon two packs for $2. Some from the core collection, some Top Speed ones (including Royal (beautiful blue jelly-esque), Electric (Chanel Mimosa near-dupe), and Cloud (lovely blue/lavender)), some from the Just Tinted collection, and a TON from the Sweetly Seductive collection--the ones you mentioned plus Apple-Tini Fizz, Watermelon Fizz, Grapefruit Fizz, and Grape Fizz. I bought a Just Tinted twin pack and 3 Sweetly Seductive twin packs and I could have purchased a lot more! I also got a really pretty Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush and an allegedly LE powder blush (I don't know what collection it came from, though). They also had a ton of ELF sets and some cool WnW sets. I also saw the Salon Express stamping kit, but I already bought one from CVS last winter. Definitely worth a trip!
ReplyDeletethey have a bunch of the Philosophy at the Big Lots here in Eugene, OR. Also some Revlon lippies, WnW Flower Power packs and sets of 5 Sally Hansen polishes.
ReplyDeleteThere are no Big Lots near me =[ I'm glad you got some good deals!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo checking out the Revlon nail polishes! My favorite brand at Big Lots prices...yes please!
ReplyDeleteI was at Big Lots on Saturday and while I didn't find any Philosophy, I did spot a huge section with high end skin care and hair care! They said that the local store had bought out a pharmacy that had closed. I bought myself the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta 2 Step Peel pads (60 pads X 2) for $50 and the retail on them is $128!
ReplyDeleteThat will be my first order of the day.
ReplyDeletei went and got the sally hansen polishes but they has the skull print ones as well. Going back to check out the revlon polishes! :)Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOhh, to the poster above I am so jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteThe skull print is the first of the nail strips I ever tried. And it made me an instant convert to this product! I would grab every available pack, if I were you. But I am not exactly normal when it comes to the salon strips!!
I just went to my big lots and got a bunch of philosophy stuff. I got instant sunshine bronzer, eye hop concealer in extra light, windows to the soul eye shadow quad in truffle, the supernatural coloring book, and divine illumination cream. I also got the sally hansen salon effects in numbskull, cute cartoon skulls print. Each item was three dollars. Thank you for posting this because if you hadn't I would have never known.
ReplyDeleteI went to a Big Lots in Durham, NC (HW 55) and although picked over, there was still a decent display of Philosophy makeup. I have had mixed results with Philosophy in the past, but the price $3 was too good to pass. I just sampled some now at home (I'm loving the eyeshadows) and am planning on going out to another BL tonight. I didn't see the Revlon Fizz collection, but there were SH nail strips in orange and lime green. Thanks for informing us of the great deals!!
ReplyDeleteI found some Philosophy goodies at my Big Lots today! I picked up an eyeshadow palette in "Box of Truffles", a cream blush, an eyeshadow duo in "Heaven and Earth", and the heavenly pink illuminator! They also had small retractable kabuki brushes which were so cute! And the best part was everything was $3!! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Big Lots in Santan in the Phoenix area. No Philosophy but since our cashier was the store manager we asked him about it and he told us that he had the shipment in store but that they would probably be put out on Monday because that's when the beauty sale was supposed to begin. He said all stores should get the displays but some will get more displays than others. He said the stores were supposed to wait for the beauty sale to put the stuff out so I think the stores that have the Philosophy putt it out early.
ReplyDeleteYou were right! I went to biglots last week friday & found nothing. I went today & there were a ton of philosophy products. Thanks for the tip. Btw im from Wisconsin so the majority of Biglots should have philosophy out by now.
DeleteBig lots in brick, NJ has the 4 pack of revlon polishes for $6 and the salon effects for $3 in wishnets
ReplyDeleteI went to Big Lots in Tucson. The Philosophy Color of Grace was there. They had eyeshadow duos (heaven and earth), Highlighter powder and creme, color story, the lip gloss palettes and some others all for $3.
ReplyDeleteI went to Big Lots in Tucson area and found the Philosophy color of grace products for $3. There were highlighters, eyeshadow duos, lip glosses, color story, brushes etc. There was not a lot left at the particular location I went to, it was just a small display near an end cap.
ReplyDeleteI checked my local big lots and no luck. I did get Sally Hansen miracle nail thickener for 4 dollers. Going to try another big lots soon :)
ReplyDeleteAHHHHH Philosophy at BIG LOTS?

My Big Lots in Seymour, IN had a TON of Philosophy cosmetics. Everything was $3.00. If you can't find these in the makeup section, look where they have Mother's Day items grouped together. I found them in the middle of the store, on an endcap, near vases and home decor items...nowhere near the cosmetics section.
ReplyDeletePassed a Big Lots in Austell, GA on the way home from the airport and popped in. A very good selection of the $3 Philosophy goodies. I came away with the plum delicious eye shadow quad that retails for $18. Great tip!
ReplyDeleteIf any one is in San Jose, I ended up stopping at the Parkmoor Ave big lots and they had pretty much all the Philosophy stuff listed here! I ended up going a little crazy and getting 9 things for 29 dollars. The biggest amount I have spent on make up lately!
ReplyDeleteI got Art of blushing in Pink dreams, windows to the soul in box of truffles, Amazing grace shimmering powder, lit from within healthy creme blush in bare your soul, you make me blush mineral blush duo in sunny and bright, the supernatural coloring book, Divine illumination love at first light, Heavenly light pink illuminator, and Eye hope anti-aging concealer in light.
When I went I didn't know where to look to find out what color things where so I just grabbed what ever I saw so I don't know if there are different colors at that store. I am going to go back and try and find some more colors!
I didn't see any Philosophy in Boise, Idaho Big Lots this week, but I did see the Sally Hansen strips. Our stores only had one design, too, but it was the Christmas poinsettia one. I'll keep checking, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteAt a different location in Cincinnati, I found the following:
ReplyDeletecolor of grace amazing grace coloring book
supernatural coloring book for eyes, lips, and cheeks
color of grace art of blushing
supernatural lit from within healthy cream blush
supernatural retractable blush brush
color of grace eyelighting shadow duo
color of grace heavenly light pink illuminator
amazing grace shimmering powder
supernatural windows to the soul palette
and one other very nice small retractable brush. I'm going back to my usual location tomorrow to see if they've put it out there because of what Simplysara said about the beauty sale starting tomorrow.
I haven't seen Philosophy products at stores here (Illinois) and I've been to two recently. I did see several types of salon hair care~ Wella and Graham Webb shampoo, conditioners and styling products for $2.50.
ReplyDeleteI was at my BIG LOTS today in Melbourne,FL and they had abouts 20 Philosophy products $3.00 .
ReplyDeleteI love Big Lots I found Bumble & Bumble shampoo a few weeks ago for just $6!!
ReplyDeleteThe big lots in north High Point NC had a small selection left on an endcap. I got:
ReplyDeleteAmazing grace shimmering face powder
Heavenly light pink illuminator
The art of blushing in pink dreams
windows to the soul eye shadow in box of truffles
There were also some cream blushes (in 4 shades), a blush/bronzer duo, some eyeshadow duos, and a book of shadows. Another woman there (who was picking up many items) said they had concealer and foundation yesterday, but they seem to be out now).
I found the plum eyeshadow quad today at big lots. They also had eyeshadow duos and brushes. I am in the Dallas Tx area.
ReplyDeleteFound Amazing grace shimmering face powder
ReplyDeleteHeavenly light pink illuminator
The art of blushing in pink dreams
and one concealer in extra light in Rockingham, NC today

ReplyDeletecame home with every product they had in stock: all over shimmer, lip balm, creme blush, illuminator
Here's the Big Lots ad http://www.biglots.com/browse/this-weeks-deals/new-arrivals?max=-1&sortBy=
ReplyDeleteThe very first item is the $3 cosmetics deal (no brands listed). Further into the ad is another beauty listing: Ellen Tracy™ Beauty Care Assortment $3 each. "Choose from an assortment that includes bubble bath, bath pearls, shower gel, body scrub, hand cream and body lotion. Selection varies by store. In assorted sizes."
Ugh, no Philosophy today at my Phoenix location, but I did manage to score a Wella shampoo and conditioner that I have been searching for forever, in the red bottles. So not a bad day at all :)
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, I forgot: the shampoo and conditioner were both $2.50 apiece. I used to pay upwards of $15.00 per bottle at Ulta.
