Beekman 1802

Lavenderjunkie — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 00:39:54 GMT

TS for tomorrow (Wed) is up for pre-sale on HSN. It's a set of 4 whipped body creams, 8 oz. each jar, $54 with free shipping. Excellent price if you like the fragrance assortment. Single ship or auto ship.

I like the Beekman body creams very much. I find them rich, moisturizing and quickly absorbed into the skin. They do not feel greasey. For me they are perfect for fall, winter, and spring. .

I would go for it if I liked all the choices. They are good as soaps, but just not pleasing to me in the stronger lotion scents. I do love the Fresh Air though. Wouldn’t it be fabulous to have a “select a scent” combo?

TS is for Thursday, midnight Wed. Sorry if my first post was confusing. And yes, I ordered, autoship.

I'm looking forward to the different scents. I have the Apricot, the Grapefruit, and the Fresh Air in the soaps and like them. I've also tried the Grapefruit in the hand cream and I enjoy the scent which seems like a slightly stronger scent based the hand cream. I've used the Honey Orange body cream and love it. (It's not in this set).

Generally, after about 3 days of use my nose has adjusted to a different scent and if I enjoy that fragrance, I don't have a problem if it's a little stronger. The intensity never lasts too long.... no matter what the brand, in my experience. Of course, we are all different and react differently to different scents. Rave reviews don't mean that I will love a scent (or product) or that you will either.

The Aloe and Iris will be the only unknown for me. I know the whipped body cream itself will be a winner. So the only question for me is whether I will like the scent or not. If I dislike it, then I still have the other 3 and will pass that one onto someone else who might enjoy it.... or I'll use it on my feet where the scent won't be a factor.

I would prefer the duo...can choose the fragrance. However, its priced at $54 which is much higher than the previous $38. Honestly I'm a bit disappointed in hsn's pricing. Seems they're getting high on many products.

I dont need any Beekman for now, and drs at Mayo clinic dont want me using it either, because of rashes. I still like the ylang body cream...just cant use very much. They told me not to use the soap too...I'm disappointed with that because I do like it. Oh well.

Seems, same old products...getting boring and overpriced.

I’ll be passing on this one. I would have given this TS a go if there had been an option for just a set of four unscented goat milk body creams. I’ve tried the Beekman scented moisturizing products in the past and found the scents too perfumey for me and an instant asthma trigger. For those of you who can use and enjoy the scented products, enjoy! It looks like a great bargain.

I love Perlier and Korres.I have been seeing posts here about Beekman when they were on the other shopping channel.

I now love Beekman and like how they started the business.I like to try all the different scents when the products are organic.

It might be strange,but I like all scents from all 3 brands.I agree though they should have a choice of unscented for customers that prefer lighter notes.

Got the TSV of course and I am happy the box is so nice and sturdy so we can use it forever.

They said they have more boxes coming for the holidays.If you bought from Evine previously,were the boxes always so cute?

Is it possible to increase the number of orders or change a scent on future deliveries on HSN?

This is a great TS and if I already didn't have a supply I would be jumpiing on it. I adore the Green tea Apricot!

I think you can change the time for the autoship, but since there are no options on the original regarding scents, you can't change that on the subsequent autoship deliveries. If the original order had scent options, you would be able to change the subsequent autoships, I think, based on other autoships I've done on HSN in the past.

As for quantity, if you place separate multiple autoship orders you can change the schedules independently. But if you have only 1 autoship order, you can't increase the quanity.

@Bibione Yes, their packaging is stellar. I’ve purchased their three holiday bounty boxes and still use the boxes. They often enclose smaller gift boxes inside as well.

Okay, I have to ask. What do you all use the boxes for after all the product is gone? I'm not into product packaging so I have no clue how they'd be used.

I don't know why the Beekman boys have decided to offer "assorted scents" on the TS offerings but I bought the TS during the 1st visit. Many of us can use only "unscented" which is the "pure" soap.

During the presentation they say they aren't heavy scented...I should have known better! Ugh, the soaps are too scented for me ... I'm really annoyed I wasted $50 on things I can't use😾.

I've been tempted to call & return to HSN since I tried one soap -- (ylang ylang) ...it is highly scented. I have the box sitting in my closet with one open soap and it smells like a "perfume store" 😳 The other ones are still in the box.

Live and learn ... I won't buy anything else from them. I know they say everything is the same, but, I clearly see a difference from my first body cream many years ago (Evine) to the one in the TS box.

Scent is very personal. I opened the Ylang/Ylang and Tuberose scent recently and found it to be very softly scented. I wished it had more fragrance. Don't know how the body cream or hand cream will smell.

As for the boxes, depending upon the size, I've used varoius brands collectors boxes to store button, stamps and labels, check books and deposit slips, etc. If the boxes are small, I use them on my dresser for jewelry overnight. If the boxes are larger, I use them to keep my current open selection of body creams or hand lotions so they are neatly contained and don't mar the furniture. I don't look for the boxes when purchasing the products, but if the boxes are included I can often find a use for them. I don't 'save' the boxes, I try to put them to use for something.

The new box might work for storing tea bags. I think it might be a good size and look nice enough. That assumes it doesn't have any residual fragrance from the products.

I received my TS from last week. The presentattion is lovely. I'm familiar with all the scents so I did not open any. (in case I decide to gift them.

@homedecor1 I also opened the Ylang Ylang and thought it was TOO scented. But I didn't want to wasted. So, I cut the soap into 4 parts. And I use just one tiny section and put the rest in a ziplock bag. I find that with the soap cut into tiny part, it is not too strong anymore. And once it goes on the body, it is just a light scent. And I am growing to like it. You can either try it this way, or return it.

If you end up not using them and not returning them, with the soap cut into small pieces, you can always use it as guest soaps. (It gives out nice scent for the bathroom).

@momoftwo2007

good idea but even just washing my hands the scent is too lingering.

The ts is still sitting in the box and frankly, i don't think it's returnable now. of course, i didn't open or use anything else except that 1 bar.

I ordered the philosophy 2 pack amazing grace for a gift. YUCK it's terribly strong...I can smell it through the packaging & not what I remember it smelling like many years ago☹️

That's a good idea @momoftwo2007. If a soap bar is too strong, use it for air freshner for the guest bathroom! I like that.

I don't find their soap to heavily scented, in fact my new favorite is the Fig. Oh, I love the Fig, and of course the pure, Vanilla absolute, and on and on. The 1 scent I really did not care for was the white water, so I gave that to my brother.

Re: Beekman 1802

Lavenderjunkie — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 23:53:48 GMT

I don't find the soap to be heavily scented either. I wonder if the chemicals in the water have something to do with it?
