Where have Tarte & Maureen Kelly been???

VelvetBlack — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:52:02 GMT

I know Maureen sold Tarte awhile back, and it seems like ever since then, her hour long shows have been scarce to say the least.....they used to be on what seemed like once a month.......now, she just has a few "hits" here and there on other beauty shows....does anyone know what's going on?? This kind of thing happened when Leslie sold BE, but the shows were still pretty frequent....then she said she was taking a sabatical (sp?), and now it seems like BE is hardly ever on, AND no more 3 hour long shows when they had a TSV like before Leslie left.....my two favorite brands, and it seems like they are fading away......I hope this doesn't happen with Chaz Dean and Josie Maran.....I love them too !!!

The Q is changing and not for the better. May I suggest drugstore.com. I have a few things on automatic shipment from tarte on there. BE as well. Josie's line is so elusive its not on there yet but you can always use her website and get free shipping on $25 or more worth of orders. 10% off when you use coupon Josie as well.

Keep in mind, that they don't accept returns IF the package has been opened, unless you jump up and down...on FB. My local Wag's doesn't have that policy!!

I usually buy my Tarte products at Sephora and Ulta, but I'm guessing she was busy getting ready for the big holiday TSV from the weekend.

Hopefully after yesterday, we've seen enough of her for a while.

We talk a lot here about vendors and/or products leaving QVC, but customer tastes change. If it's not making money for QVC, it is gone. If a host isn't making money for QVC, the host is gone. Same premise. Where is Edward Bess? With Lisa leaving, who will be his champion? Who is going to be the glamour gal now? Courtney? New management at the top will change things again, and I hope for the better. Even though I complain from time to time, I am still a QVC customer and I think I always will be. But the Q is only competitive with Sephora, Ulta, etc., with TSVs and special twofers. Other than that: I can buy it cheaper elsewhere.

If it's her, she needs language classes and voice modulation training first. She speaks and sounds like a 14-year-old.

My preference is Sandra. She has the looks, voice, class, figure and style sense to host PM Style more that any other choice they may be looking at. And I think she has earned it (if she wants it).

All these lines are like waves. Big surfer wave for awhile, then it ebbs to nothing. It Cosmetics seems to be the Big Cheese right now, it too will see the sunset when something else comes along.

I think Maureen is now completely out of the picture as I have seen Tarte presentations in the last few months and they have a new Rep who is introduced as the Tarte Rep by the hosts - she has been here awhile as they all seem to know her and have worked with her before selling Tarte.
