Beauty TSVs

[Koala]

I find I’m buying far less of them these days and finding better options elsewhere.
I probably get more bargains with the monthly offers and clearance along with other retail outlets.
Anyone else ?

Yes I do as well. Whatever the TSV, big deal etc, I always check on line to see if I can get a better deal elsewhere. Sometimes, even with the p&p, QVC are cheaper, but not often. I prefer to get the fragrance, colour I want without all the filler items.

I buy hardly any beauty TSV’s. The next one I get will probably be the Molton Brown Christmas set! Lots of cheaper alternatives around now, and I can choose exactly what I’m getting, rather than a set of things I might not use. Plus the old stock issues have influenced my spending..and my brand loyalty.

Having to pay postage is also an issue, although QVC are starting to do postage free offers. Finally….

A lot of the cheaper stores, Aldi Superdrug Boots etc have great offers and really decent products.
Personally, I think the days of QVC are numbered..

I used to look forward to the Christmas Molton Brown TSV. I’ve haven’t bought the last two years because a) haven’t liked the fragrances and b) too many fillers. I usually wait until the one just before Christmas as it seems to be better value.

I wish they’d have less of the heady smells. Favourites are eucalyptus, bushukan, silver birch and lily of the valley. I must be the only one who detests rhubarb and rose. I ended up using it to hand wash my tights!

It's a good few years since I got excited about a beauty TSV. Not a fan of hand washes, so never buy the Molton Brown TSVs now.

I might be more interested in Beauty and skincare if the buyers introduced more new brands, I mean Gale Hayman has been on Q since it started and not many people have heard of Elizabeth Grant or Mally, let’s have some Korean products and makeup to get excited by .

 

[donna255]

Yes, Korean beauty is massive.

Gale Hayman, some people swear she did once appear on QVC many years ago. I watched since 1997 and never seen her, they did use to sell her perfume way back.

As long as aldi exists, Q beauty is not going to get a penny more out of me. Day cream and night cream and that's it, ever since they ditched Decleor.

 

[Bonaventure]

I’ve only bought one beauty TSV in the last 12 months - the Sunday Riley one in January. The product mix on QVC no longer interests me. It’s the same old brands shilling the same ole s***!

 

[grovesy]

I have only bought the odd one for the last few years. I rarely watch more than 5-10 minutes these days.

 

[Silver Fox]

I just stick to what I know & like these days instead of shelling out £60-£70 to try yet another brand which is surprise, surprise not the wonder it is hyped up to be.

Decleor were superb back in the day.

They didn't "ditch" Decleor.
Decleor ditched them.

I feel the same. I’ve got some lovely skincare from Boots and they make a difference to my skin. I still watch QVC and have just purchsed is Tilli bag. Why I don’t know. I don’t buy a quarter what I used to, and send a lot back or cancel five minutes after ordering. I’m definitely fed up with them. With the cost of living as it is QVC think that easy pay will make you forget that, but in the end you’re spending way too much and buying expensive items whether on easy pay or not. I say this, just stop. I’m going to. I’ve had enough, QVC don’t care if they leave you broke.

QVC is just a totally outdated shopping service. Very occasionally there is an absolute bargain but these days it’s rare. I never watch any of the shows. I get information and feedback here which is far more useful.
I’m just gradually using up my stash of goodies and looking around to see what’s out there.

Some of the L'Occitane TSVs used to be great but then they either upped the price, repeated the same items over and over (am I the only person who doesn't like the almond oil wash?) or did the really expensive skincare rather than the 'day to day' stuff. I wish they'd do a deal including shampoo and conditioner as I love their almond ones and the intensive ones but they are really pricey for me. I wish I lived near one of their outlet shops as I have fond memories of bargains at Gunwharf Quays and Cheshire Oaks!

 

[Sazza]

They didn't "ditch" Decleor.
Decleor ditched them.

That statement was made in 2023 when L'Oréal announced they were ceasing production of Decleor.
Decleor left Q in 2021, we do not know if it was a Q or L'Oréal decision.

When Alexis is on selling Almond shower oil, she always says it turns into a milk as does AY. There’s never a mention if it leaves a slippery residue in the shower. Although I always use a non slip mat I’m wary of buying this product. I vaguely remember reading it left an oily scum mark around the inside of a bath.

Escentual still sell some Decleor. The Prolgene range long gone.

That’s why I don’t use it anymore. It’s dangerous in the shower, very slippery, if I wanted to die suddenly of a slippery fall causing me to bang my head I would continue to use it!
