Philosophy Super Size

Twins Mom — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 14:30:10 GMT

It appears that the good buys all come not only in super size but also pairs. How about a few incentive buys in more handy sizes? After trying I might be more open to having these sizes to deal with.
How about a pair of these Philosophy scrubs with one of each fragrance? After all there are only two to choose from.

@Twins MomThe good prices are always on the volume sizes. That's true for everything from Philosophy right on down to staples I look for at the supermarket and yes, it's frustrating although I'll admit that I frustrate way less about my Philosophy than I do about things like a quart of milk or a jar of peanut butter.

I won't buy the jumbo size no matter what the deal. I don't buy "P" but do purchase Josie body stuff. The large containers are hard to open/close when your hands are covered with cream - - and every time you open and dip in the jar......you're not only getting cream but leaving behind bad stuff i.e., bacteria - dust - whatever that stuff is called under your fingernails. Smaller jars for me.

Kind of interesting....I find the 16 oz Philosophy bottles to be impossible to use easily. The 32 oz with pumps are sooooo much easier to handle. It’s not the value that drives me to buy large sizes. It’s the ease of use. Wish they made pumps for the 16 oz sizes.

I haven’t bought Philosophy in years since they went to the jumbo sizes.

@GoldenGate
You make a great point about pumps. I found a pump bottle to put my purity in just because of difficulty in using. Maybe they could provide small size with pump along with a jumbo. Win/win. Saves counter and easier to use.

I like the super size bottles, especially because they're pump bottles. What could be easier? Find a convenient spot in your bathroom and all you have to do is press the pump!

I remember when the Philosophy website sold 16 oz. bottle pumps for a couple of $. I’d actually pay a couple of $ more just to have a pump. The diameter of the 16 oz. bottle is just awkward to hold and try to squirt out the shower gel.

My preference is for the 16 oz. I like to rotate my scents a lot and 32 oz. bottles take forever for one person to use. Plus, they take up more space when not in use.

I repurposed an extra pump I had from Wen 16oz and it works perfectly!

I love the supersizes. I use them for my bubble bath and I also refill my 16oz bottles when they are emply.

For me, personally, the 32 oz. shower gels last forever! I am the only one using them and I prefer to have different scents from time to time. I much prefer a 16 oz. shower gel.

My suggestion for Philosophy/QVC (QVC Mods, can you help send this along?) is to please offer a sample set of the shower gels and/or fragrances. I don't mean those 6-pc 16-oz. sets either, those are too large.

I'm suggesting an 8 or 10 piece set of no more than 6-ozs. each, in a soft squeezable bottle/container. That way I can truly pick out my favorites. Philosophy is so incredibly hit or miss with me. I have three fragrances I absolutely love, but others I have tried make me gag, or don't wash clean (they leave a soft, but unpleasant residue on my skin).

I really only need one shower or hand washing to know if I like it or not. Sometimes, I only need to open it and smell it. I refuse to buy the 16-oz sets because that's still too much shower gel going to waste, knowing I have to use it multiple times to go through it all.

The Q offers "gift sets" during the holidays where you get 8-12 different varieties of the 6oz 3-in-1 gels. There was a 12 days of Xmas set during Xmas in July if that's still available.

I'm over the Philosophy Super Sizes as well. I only like the Grace/FIL scents - can't stand all of the fruity or coctail scents at all. The scents I prefer are never offered as a set of the smaller bottles. I still have half a bottle of Snow Angel I purchased and used last winter. On the bright side I will save money because I don't need to purchase body soap for quite a while.

Another downfall with the Super Size values is when they come with Jumbo lotion and fragrance. I don't think I will ever go through 8 oz of fragrance. The tub of lotion will also take me a long time to go through.

I use a q-tip or plastic spoon to get cream out of a jar. I wish they would make more of it in tubes.

Years ago Q offered a Philosophy set of three different 16 oz shower gels...auto delivery, each new delivery would have three different scents....I bought it for my grand trips and other grand girls...they loved getting new scents as a surprise every few months....wish they would make this available again...the tiny ones I bought weren't as well-liked.
