Last Reply by parka 1364480340.28 | Started by Claudia Lucas - Beauty Merchandise Director in Beauty BanterI have been the lead beauty buyer at QVC for the past two and half years. I am very excited and proud about our British Beauty premiere because I am actually a Brit myself! I moved to the United States nine years ago but have worked in beauty my whole career.
Growing up in beauty it was rare to see brands that originated in the UK. The British have been a late comer to the beauty scene, but all that started to change a few years ago. Beauty is now one of the most progressive markets in the UK, which is now buzzing with new beauty brands like The Sanctuary, SPACE.NK, a...

It was great fun, and I now have a real appreciation for all of our beauty guests who do this day in and day out. Believe me, it's not easy and I was quite nervous. It’s not every day that you get to talk to 95 million homes! I'd like to thank everyone here at the Q for their help, especially my team members, Melanie, Nicole, and Marissa. In addition, I'd also like to thank Mally who did my makeup and Sarah Potempa who di...

Many of us, including myself, were affected by Hurricane Sandy. I sincerely hope things are on their way back to normal for all of you. Despite the storm affecting much of the East Coast, we had an amazing QVC Customer Choice Beauty Awards show last Tuesday. Thank you for your votes and congratulations to all our winners.

In the Beauty office this week, we're going crazy for nails. We're testing and trying not only new colors, but also different techniques. My favorite...

For the last two years, I've been striving to strengthen and develop QVC's beauty product content. Some of you commented that I have the best job, and you're right! But, because we're constantly on the lookout for the next-best brands and products to add to our already-amazing selection, it can be quite time consuming. I've missed talking to you and your feedback is so important to me, so I wanted to reopen our lines of communication in time for the holiday shopping season!
Here at QVC, we're pleased to launch our collection of...

Over the next 12 months, you're going to see some of the latest innovations in beauty from some of our existing brands, plus a lot of new ones. To get things started with a bang, we have a full 24 hours of beauty coming up this Monday, January 16 where you can shop all of your favorites and see what’s new. If you're looking to brighten that smile, don’t miss out on the Today's Special Value for the day (I always think that a brighter/whiter smile is one of the biggest anti-aging things you can do). For...

It's simply amazing and by far one of my favorite TSVs of the year. The palette contains every single Photo Op Eye Shadow in their range. If you were to buy these 16 eye shadow trios alone at $28.00 a piece, they would cost you $448! The colors are great and the formulas are top quality. If the eye shadows weren’t enough, the palette also contains 4 Brow Tech powders and wax, 8 creamy eyeliners, 2 generous blush shades, and 4 lip glosses. The other neat thing is that it's so compact, you could even travel w...

I met several skin cancer survivors and their stories were very moving. It reminded me about the need to protect your skin when you're outdoors. I had no idea statistically that skin cancer can affect so many. Right now, male golfers are amongst the highest at risk. So to all you golfers out there — be protected and wear your SPF particularly on the back of your hands and the tops of yours ears, which are places most of us tend to forget about. Having baked myself in the sun in ...

I have enjoyed reading through the responses. It’s been a busy few weeks! Firstly, there was our beauty event day on August 27. Considering much of the country was gearing up for Hurricane Irene, we were thrilled with the response to the QVC Customer Choice Beauty Awards. The last two-hour show with Lisa was amazing and coincided with Irene pounding outside the studio. At one point, we all thought we were going to have to sleep over at the studio! It would have been the ultimate slumber party! Right afterwards, I left for Ge...
