Kat Von D Disappointment QVC

CrystalBlue1 — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:52:40 GMT

I have waited for days to see the special QVC offers for Kat Von D and NOTHING!!!! The prices are the same in most cases as Sephora and at the Q add on shipping. I was waiting for some special kits etc. If you bough the liptick duo separately at sephora it would be $1.00 more however once the Q throws the shipping at you no savings at all. Extremely disappointed QVC

I was disappointed for a different reason. I was happy to see 8 foundation colors. I thought there would be at least 2 dark colors. A dark tan/a light dark color and a deep color. I didn't have high hopes that my color (deep 66) would be there, but they jumped from medium 62 to deep 74. What? Oh well. I plan on buying another bottle during Sephora's VIB sale.

Sounds like QVC did not plan this out very well, if they were hoping to get a large market share on these products.

I have never tried this line. How is the quality?

her products are great. The eyshadows are amazing. the lipsticks last all day even during eating etc. I love her line however I was expecting some perk for shopping at the q like sets or special prices or even throwing in a brush with the eye palettes but nothing.

The only deals that I see are for the mascara duo and the tattoo liner duo oh and maybe the foundation with the brush however I am disappointed also.

I'm dissapointed too. First Kat isn't presenting the items herself according to the QVC information page and then there are no good kits. No Lightening liner, just the tattoo liner.

Not presenting herself? Ouch.

I always get 'raised eyebrow' when a Named product isn't presented by said Name...especially personal products like cosmetics/fashion.

Excellent quality. Love her liners and eyeshadow palettes. Used to love her lip gloss but haven't bought any in a long time so not sure if they've changed.

Tattoo'd Kat too scary for Q audience?

If you buy from Sephora and you have the card or whatever they call it you acrue the points toward products.

This thread isn't about Sephora's Insider program, but since you brought it up that program stinks. The amount you spend to accrue points just to get a little sample sized set of something is insulting... and I'm referring to the 500+ point gifts. Sephora further offends me by only having the one big VIB discount sale per year. I prefer the loyalty programs where the hundreds of dollars spent (the points) become money off future purchases throughout the year. I've been able to step away from Sephora because over the past couple of years, most of the department stores in downtown Chicago have remodeled and improved their cosmetic departments. This combined with buying from some online retailers (who do offer discounts off the purchase price), a few things from the shopping channels, and Ulta (where points are dollars), there's no reason for me to patronize Sephora. I have made a grand total of TWO purchases there for the entire year of 2015. I suppose they have thrown me out of the VIP Beauty Insiders and I don't care.

I think Kat has some great products. I was pleasantly surprised. I often find celeb backed products lacking but I find her eyeshadows and lipsticks to be some of the best on the market.

I;m hoping there is something special being saved for her show on the 21st; I own all the products up for sale and so...bleh. The deals are no deals either.

Since her line is a Sephora house brand, the company won't lose money nor worry about her "leaving"; she is simply the face of it. The did release a few new items on Seohora so...I don't know. QVC seems to be an afterthought regarding selling her brand.

LOL, yep that program is a joke.

I used to shop at Sephora at least a few times a month. I was a VIB for the first 3 years it was around and slowly the "perks" were becoming lamer and far and few between. Over the past 4 years or so I've barely shopped at Sephora. There are soooo many better places to shop online that actually give you % off discounts all year long, perks, and reward programs that actually are worth it. I used to LOVE Sephora.

I only get things at Sephora, I can't get from the dept Store for which I have a loyatly program that gives $$, such as TooFaced. I can't really talk about the details of the programs as I don't shop there too often, I did get a nice BDay gift. If were to buy KvD I'd go to the 4 Sephoras within a 15 minute drive from my house and get it there.

I'm really surprised at how limited the offerings are, and there aren't many very good deals. I think the thing that annoys me the most is the lack of shade ranges. Her foundations has 19 shades (I'm pretty sure), and the Q just brings a small percentage. I mean, at least bring 10 or 12! I think their thinking is that it would take too long to present, but if they had really great pics, models, and swatches, that would make a huge difference. I've gotten to where I RARELY order any kits with foundation at the Q, and usually if I do, I plan on selling it or giving it away. It's just not worth the hassle, and Sephora and others have free shipping and free returns, or I can return in-store. As for Kat's appearance not being what Q viewers want? Who cares. She's a brilliant business woman and has great makeup, and honestly, people can get over it. I'm sure she would say as much, too.

Her Ladybird all matte palette and the True romance Saint palettes are two of my favorite palettes of all time. I kick myself for not getting the Ludwig pallette (and maybe even the Gypsy one)! I always look forward to her new palettes!

Yes, I was hoping the prices would be a little lower or brushed would be included. I was especially hoping the lip duo would be discounted a bit more. I was really lookig forwad to trying her line at great prices, but I have to say I am a bit disappointed as well.
