Fake Philosophy????

nw614 · ‎03-12-2011

Just wondering if even QVC took a hit with fake philosophy...I purchased a Philosophy TSV that contained miracle worker and the microdelivery peel. I've had all of it before and the peel wouldn't tingle or get warm at all when used. I called philosophy and they asked for te product numbers off the bottom of the boxes and then the bottles and none of the numbers could be found in their system. They told me to return the entire shipmen to QVC...well after the 30 days...and was given credit. I cancelled the auto delivery also. Has anyone else received products that "just weren't right"?

philosophy wasn't being truthful, in my opinion. i feel that they dumb down their products for the qvc audience when they offer the super sizes.

my husband ordered the fresh cream and i have always loved it but it smells like vanilla pudding and not the good vanilla pudding either. it reminds me of the sugar free version. i'm so disappointed.

tsv's are usually giveaways due to their sizes and their isn't the profit as the regular sizes. the ingredient list might be the same but that doesn't mean the same amount of ingredients goes into the products.

sorry for going on and on but i'm really mad at philosophy right now. lol!

I agree

I think you must be right. Ipurchased the latest fresh cream TSV and it doesn't ""smell the same"" as my other fresh cream lotion. Hmmmm......... I guess we ""bought"" into the hype. It must cost a ton to return this last TSV too.

Where does the fake philosophy come from? Philosophy?

I don't buy those outrageous super size products, skin care or otherwise. It is not just Philosophy. QVC offers super sizes of almost all beauty products, along with ez pay of course. I don't need huge amounts of Hope In A Jar, Laura Geller Spackle, BE bisque, etc.

I just wanted to add that I seriously doubt that QVC is selling fake Philosophy.

I honestly don't believe that the Q got fake Philosophy products. I believe that when Coty purchased Philosophy they went to work to try and find ways to bring costs down and put in ingredients that they felt would work the same but cost them less. They charge the customer the same, but they are raising their bottom line! Only in this case, the original formulations were loved and the new formulations are awful~!

I loved Falling In Love and after a few years (we moved and downsized) I jumped on the TSV that had the Giant so called Perfume, Body Scrub and Whipped Body Butter thinking I had gone to heaven! The scent of the perfume was light to begin with and takes a TON of sprays to smell it and even then doesn't last for more than an hour or so. The Body Scrub is also mild, and the scent doesn't last, but still smells nice. But the Body Butter, while mild in the beginning was decent (even though it too didn't last) .... but now that I'm more than half way through the jar, it HAS NO SCENT WHATSOEVER~! Nothing. I even capped the jar for a few days so that when I opened it, it would have a jump in the scent... NOTHING. I am so disappointed in this product that I won't be buying any of it again.

Coty should be ashamed.

I think I could never use up a gallon before its shelf life had expired . I get tired of things and like to switch things up sometimes. I use far less Philosophy than I used to....but I order if from Philosophy.com when they have a sale and free shipping or from Nordstrom that has free shipping all the time.w

I bought a 4 ounce of the FIL whipped body creme from ebay several month ago. I justnow put it all over myself, and it does have the same level of scent as when it was first introduced. In fact, this has more scent than the very first FIL lotion I ever purchased from Philosophy when it was first offered. I am just giving my experience, and not questioning anyone else's.
