    Wilkinsons & Tescos have had some Philosophy cosmetic gift sets, I got some in Wilkinsons before Christmas £6 each but included in the 3 for £10 deal & then reduced to £3 each after Christmas - may be worth looking in the stores for any leftovers. I got one the other day at £3.
    Included a divine cream to powder foundation, blusher/bronzer & powder. Very nice compacts too!
    Not sure how they managed to get the stock as it's not something you'd normally find in Wilkinsons but I reckon it must be imported as you can only get some of the Philosophy cosmetics in the USA.

    Happy New Year everyone :A

    Err are you sure they weren't the copycat Beauticology sets which both those shops sell?

    Definately not Beauticology!

    I was surprised to see them too.
    You can't get the cosmetics in the UK so think they must've been a special buy. Definately the real deal, never used the Philosophy cosmetics though so unsure how good they are.
    A lot of them were Medium to Tan or Tan but I managed to find some fairer skin tone ones.

    The new Boots magazine has a voucher in the back for £10 worth of points when purchasing any Philosophy microdelivery product.

    Thought it may be worth a mention if you use it regularly.

    Me too. Unfortunately I came to wrap it for a friends birthday gift and noticed it is almost a year out of date. I know cosmetics don't really 'expire' but I wasn't comfortable with going ahead and giving her it.

    The foundation expired in May 2013.

    Tesco didn't advertise it was 'expired' ,when it was reduced to clear.

    Wow, never thought to check the dates. That'll be why they were so cheap then. I'll have a look at the boxes I - got quite a few, didn't notice a date anywhere. I'll still use em though.

    I threw the outer boxes out and can't see a date on the inner boxes - just says 24months once opened, sure they'll be fine.
