As soon as I sat down, I could tell they were very excited. As it turns out, they had a good reason to be thrilled! Philosophy is launching one of its most exciting anti-aging products of the year and you can learn about it first on QVC!
The new product, called time in a bottle, is an age-defying serum that was created to address the appearance of signs of aging on the skin’s surface. It helps the look of lines and wrinkles, skin tone, skin texture and smoothness, and radiance and lum...

Our best beauty brands, big and small, were there to meet with beauty editors from the major magazines and blogs. The editors seem thrilled to see the newest products and get some beauty tips that they can share with their readers. So, I decided to play beauty editor for a day, and interview some of my favorite industry innovators. I asked each of them the same question:
Spring is here and summer is around the corner. What should we be doing to look our best during warmer weather?

I've been asked to carry her for a week as part of our new Purse-onality campaign. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!
Day 2 - Here I'm with my newest bag at America's oldest roadside attraction, Lucy the Elephant in Margate, NJ. (I'm also wearing Logo by Lori Goldstein pants and Isaac Mizrahi moccasins - I own multiple pairs of both.) It's the perfect bag to hold a lot of stuff on a day trip!

BB creams are getting some new competition. The CC Cream is here! CC creams are very popular in Asia, where many beauty trends are now born. However, we haven’t had many hit the shores of America just yet. I just started using It Cosmetics’ new Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ and really love it. I’ll tell you more about it, but first, let’s talk about BB versus CC.
It seems nearly every beauty company now has a BB cream on the market. BB creams, short for “beauty balm&rdqu... Continue Reading Last Reply by acne facial 1366785378.51 | Started by Sandra Bennett in Beauty Banter, Fashion Talk, Hosts & Personalities
A lipstick can change someone’s look, but it can also change a life! That is the bold mission behind our first ever charity event involving our top beauty brands.

Companies, big and small, show off their latest products in hopes of winning a Beauty Insider’s Choice Award. The awards will be announced on May 17th and this year, for the first time, there will be a QVC Beauty Quest Award. The winning product will appear on our CEW awards show in July. As the QVC beauty buyers and I walked the isles, we were looking for two things: First, we wanted to find that special, winning product that you will love. Second, we were trying ...

She said she had spent a lot of time and effort on her face, but after years of neglect, her neck and décolleté looked at least a decade older than her face. I was about 35 at the time and silently vowed to start using a neck cream.
Fast forward to now, I’m 42 and just a couple of weeks ago, I noticed my neck was starting to show some signs of age. Since that greenroom conversation, I’ve gone through periods where I have used a neck ...

Slowly, over the years, my entire family has started to use Wen. My kids, my mom, and my sister have all been using it for a couple of years. My dad just started using the oils on his scalp and the cleansing conditioner last month. I saw him last week and could not believe the difference in his hair! I could have never predicted that I would someday have a conversation with my dad where told him how shiny his hair looks. In fact, I’m still laughing about it. Such is the power of Wen!
Until now, there has been only one...

Several times a year, I help out during their afternoon practice session, where they learn what it is like to stand behind the camera, where to look, and how to clearly provide information about their products.
One thing that almost always seems to surprise new guests is how close they need to stand to the host. To demonstrate, I first tell them to stand at a distance... Continue Reading
