Hello friends and fans,


What a whirlwind these last few weeks have been. Thank you all so much for tuning in to The Lisa Robertson Show on August 3, and even more for purchasing Re-Start Skin Serum. I worked so hard to get ReVitalistic Skincare ready to launch and I had a wonderful time on Lisa’s show sharing all the details. The best news? I'll be back on August 18 at 8am ET for the AM Style Beauty segment to share more details about ReVitalistic Skincare and I'm very excited.

The days leading up to my ReVitalistic Skincare launch were almost as busy as planning the debut show itself…


First, I was invited onto LIVE! with Kelly to chat about the QVC debut and the upcoming fall premiere of my new show, 666 Park Avenue. I had such a blast, but then again with Kelly Ripa, it's hard not to have a great time. Her bubbly personality makes everyone feel at ease on set and she cracks me up.

Josh Elliot and Lara Spencer also welcomed me to ABC’s new afternoon talk show, Good Afternoon America. They were so sweet and, being on camera all the time, they truly understand the impact high-definition television has on skin. I was even able to give everyone in the GAA audience a sample of my Re-Start Skin Serum. I can't wait to hear what they think.


Josh and Lara also featured my tweets and some of my fans’ tweets in what they called “Twitterpiece Theater.” It was hilarious and I guarantee it'll make you smile. Click here to see what I mean.

The thing that's so wonderful about the QVC experience is the feedback I receive from your questions, reviews, and suggestions. Your opinions are very important to me. I value them because I want to do better each time I come before you. I've heard from lots of fans, friends, and QVC veteran shoppers. I thought I'd share a little of what everyone has been saying in response to my first blog , and hopefully address some of the questions I've been asked...


“I would love to have a really good 'try-me' kit on Easy Pay, Vanessa! It's so scary trying a new skin-care line. Hard to jump in all at once! Best of luck.” —Blog comment from QVC Forum member, Expatgal


Expatgal, thanks for the well wishes. I totally get where you're coming from. I've tried many skin-care products and have had a variety of results…just never the ones I wanted. Great question about the “try-me” kit and, as it happens, perfect timing. The next product I'll be bringing you is my ReVitalistic Skincare Discovery Kit, which will be available on QVC.com in the next few weeks. Watch for it.


With the kit, you'll be able to sample my favorite products at an incredible value. The Discovery Kit will make it easier for you to try my products.

In this kit, I've included Re- Start Skin Serum, Re-Contour Neck & Décolleté Cream, Re-Focus Firming Eye Serum, Re-Quench Anti-Age Defense Intensive Moisture Treatment, and Perfexture Triple Enzyme Skin Perfecting Peel.


“Vanessa, many of us are interested in exactly what is in our skin-care products, so I hope you will have QVC post the ingredient decks. Also, I hope you address the ingredients and what they do on Lisa's show.” —Blog comment from QVC Forum member, Harpa


They are for all skin types, colors, and ages.


My career has allowed me to travel and my celebrity connections have given me access to the very best skin-care professionals around the world. I've battled skin problems my entire life and have fought against them by finding the best solutions available for my skin from top doctors and aestheticians. The products I bring to you are, my own personal products, and parts of my daily beauty regimen.


The Re-Start Skin Serum is easy to use. All you need is a mere 10-second application once a day and you're good to go. One of the advantages serums are silky to the touch, not oily, and absorb into the skin without leaving a film or greasy residue. Best of all, they act as a primer under your makeup, resulting in a flawless look. My serum's antiaging and wrinkle-filling properties will make your skin feel and look better and younger.


Some of you are probably thinking this can't possibly be worth the hype, but give it a try and see for yourself. It works. Please see reviews from your fellow customers who, after trying it, understand why I've been using it and my other products and how they can help you, too.


Additionally, I've heard that a few of you are having an issue with the pump of my Re-Start Skin Serum and you're not able to control the distribution or get it out of the pump satisfactorily.


Here’s a tip: the pump was designed to prevent serum from accidentally being pumped before you're ready to apply it. In order to use it correctly, the top has to be turned until you hear a click. The click means it's ready and primed for delivery. If you pump it before the top is in position (before you hear the click), it'll be difficult to use and control. To the few of you who've reported difficulty with the pump, try it again, but this time make sure the top is turned all the way until you hear it click.


Overall, I'm overwhelmed by the positive reviews from everyone on QVC.com and I can't thank you enough. Here's one I thought was particularly sweet from a QVC customer who has already tried out the serum.


"I received this as a sample and used it yesterday. I could not believe how my face felt! My skin was softer then velvet, my makeup went on like it was floating and it did not settle or cake. Truly amazed with this product! There was enough in the sample to use on my neck and décolleté. I couldn’t believe how soft and supple my skin felt and it lasted all day! Thank you!!!" —5-star review from QVC customer, staywithme


I hope you'll tune in to QVC again on Saturday, August 18 at 8am ET to hear more about ReVitalistic Skincare. And please keep the reviews and feedback coming. Without hearing from our QVC friends, we wouldn't know what works for you or what else you'd like to see.


Be bold. Be beautiful. Be you.


Back soon…
