Tarte?

Does anyone know why Tarte is never on air? The last few shows they listed were cancelled.

I've been wondering about this as well! I haven't seen Maureen in ages and I haven't seen any shows in eons.

I used to love the Tarte TSVs that were offered a few times a year. I haven't seen a Tarte TSV since...last year?

They have a new mascara, which apparently is exclusive to QVC.

I have noticed ever since Maureen sold the company and no longer presents on QVC, it seems like they are hardly ever on. They offer some very nice products at great prices, but at least you can purchase from their website as well as Ulta if QVC is dropping them.......Pricing won't be as good though!

@CANDLEQUEENYou gave me a good laugh! Amost every hour someone complains QVC is higher priced than anyone I could shop with - and now - cheaper than Ulta! (I don't shop Ulta because their store near me always looked sloppy and dirty and the staff offered little help. Not worth the drive, but I'm glad yo know I'm not missing huge savings just because I don't feel clean when I leave there.

First you're hot, then you're not. On to the next QVC Darling.

It always seems when a company is sold, we don't see them much after that. First BareMinerals, then Tarte, next will be It Cosmetics.

I should have said pricing in kits won't be nearly as good! Individual pricing may be very similar to Ulta or Sephora though. I love Tarte's lippie products....

It is all about the money. If they aren't selling as well, they will be on less and less. I think ever since the company was sold, especially sold to a company that tests on animals, alot of people have moved on.

QVC is all about the money- the more $$$ you bring in, the more you will be onair. Don't bring in the $$, you start to lose airtime.

@smileshannon Don't forget Mally. I'm still bummed about that sale.

@2blonde Yes you are right....Mally too! I even think we don't see Laura Geller as much now that her store is closed in NYC and she has more of a presence in Ulta.

@smileshannon For sure......every great startup company eventually gets sold. Just when you find some products you love, they either disappear or the quality drops. You're right about Laura G. tool. Mostly all I see now is IT, and since she recently sold that one too........who knows where that will lead.

@Bibione, ' hello' ~

Without any attachments to doubtful guessing, I, too, understand exactly what you have mentioned.

Here, with my R&D inquiries know that not all products may contain ingredients I can use, but with Tarte, there was always One - three products that I've use since the onset of vendor's first presentation.

After the hoopla and exposure has been brought as an excellent ` go to `, yes $$$s have been made, the reputation is close to 99% known, so as with other brands the highest bidder. TAKES OVER. A buy out!

Nothing, I had used, from 3 brands, have never been the same.

FYI: one of the largest cosm. CO, here, have outsourced their beauty line to Asia. I have noted this several times upon learning from newspapers which I have checked out.

P.... &.\ g.

I will not buy, nor do I wish to make ...keep on making. China or its equals more wealthy with our very old owned technology.

Only was witness, through experience- ' of ' one very well known manufacturing \ beauty line. No comparison to the original. All about money.

If you find anything made here, then I buy either triples or go BEFORE going .....elsewhere.

I definitely believe that your ability to rethink is one step above most. Personally, I will not but into the trade off.

Shame on vendors. Selling outside our OWN.

NAES.

I still like Tarte. I don't like the Tarte lipcolors though. I used to like the full coverage ones she had for awhile, but they were discontinued. I like the lash paint liner and lash paint mascara in the gold/black tube.

I love the highlighter I purchaesd from Sephora as well.

I'm not really liking IT cosmetics except for the CC cream and some powders, etc. which I love. The rest of the products are lame.
