ELISE AND ROSE MARIE SWIFT

Shanus — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 15:28:28 GMT

Finally, a host who can keep quiet and let the expert speak and answer questions.

I received a lot more info (than when SK talked the presentations) about products I've recieved or were thinking about purchasing today.

I couldn't agree with you more. SK is so frenetic when hosting the rms show. Not only does she make me nervous, I think she does the same to Rose Marie! 😲

Elise Ivy did a nice job today. Kudos to her.

@Shanus - I'm still unhappy with the way Shawn presented a foundation one night a while back with a brand new beauty vendor. It was not a long presentation to begin with, but the only shade she talked about was the one SHE was wearing. I posted at the time we should not have to do the research ourselves to figure out our shades!

I still enjoy Shawn. But, I have to say Elise is a class act. She knows her product and as you all have said she lets the guests speak and really sell their products. Qvc has a winner with Elise.

Almost all QVC's presenteres are good or at least okay, but I think Elise is among the best of all. She has good energy, is natural and conversational, and makes sure to include as much information as possible.

fyi

RMS is sold at the Blue Mercury near me, good for those who need to check the shades first

@Shanus, Are you able to give your op of RMS products ? I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to RMS. She has good ideas (in my humble op) of applying I personally LOVE your ideas. I try to always follow through with you. Many thanks

I like Shawn, but I find she takes far too long to get to shades when hosting Beauty shows, especially with New Beauty lines.....Please show the shades 1st and then talk about the product and the company's background, etc..........Elise is a class act, and gets to the pertinent information quickly!

This morning was watching Elise with her Beauty Show from 7-9 as I regularly do and then to see her doing the RMS show . Think Rose Marie Swift even enjoyed working with Elise,as I too remember the first time I watched the premier show I remember that host did most of the talking and the vendor was not able to explain her product as she did this morning

5 ***** to Elise 5 ***** to Rose Marie Swift, hope to see them together doing more show.

Elise is so professional and has become my favorite not just with makeup shows ,but with whatever she is presenting .

@sligo In general, I think RMS are good products. I'm using and will re-order all products I've purchased. I'm liking my brow powder and brush, haven't received the shadow quad w/ gloss I ordered yesterday. I've been using her day oil, but my skin is normal/dry, so not sure how it will do on oily skin. I have the 3 lip balms which are pretty colors, but they're not much different than drugstore Burt"s Bees colored balms. The luminizer is nice, too. I ordered a quad of 4 cream blushes from her site (haven't gotten those yet).

As a MUA, she's spot on with her points about cream products better for complexions of women my age or older complexions. I've used Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge (cream blush) for many years and NARS Orgasm blush in a stick (a cream) and find both are not as transparent and natural looking as RMS's blushes. I have not tried her "un-Cover" foundation because the shades are somewhat confusing. I do think the level of coverage (seeing Elise trying it on) may be too much coverage for me. I use a tinted moisturizer or serum foundation and then concealer where coverage is needed. Rose-Marie, IMHP, is correct about blush placement being not below the nose. I also measure 2 fingers away from the nose. I tap the Luminizer on top of the blush.

I see a bit of "rivalry" and similarity of product and philosophies between RMS and Jones Road by Bobbi Brown. The concept of true color, transparent, minimal makeup is quite the same. I think it's the way makeup will be trending for a natural look...less is more, not covering every spot or "flaw", accepting and accentuating your best features and let the others go.

Influencer makeup, again in my opinion, is way over the top. They're recommending and trying to sell product. Most wear full coverage foundations, many shades of shadow, some darker and not a good look for middle age to older women, but that's their platform and what keeps them on YouTube. There are are few over 50 compared to the many in their 20's and 30's. I find it difficult to relate.

I'm hoping RMS comes to stores so we can actually see and maybe swatch some products before purchasing them. Clean beauty is the way of future makeup.

Are there particular RMS products that you're interested in buying that I may be able to help with?

Are there any particular products you're interested in?

@jackthebear My Blue Mercury is far away, but will check online to see if shades are better explained. I'm hoping it comes to Nordstrom.Thanks.

@Mimi NY I feel SK is "self absorbed" and her RMS presentations have seemed to be all about what shades she should wear and asking about placement for herself....no way to let us know Rose-Marie's approach to makeup...or make under.

I do think and look forward to an RMS 2 hr. show, so every product gets enough time for shade explanation and placement and her reasoning behind why she created them and feels they are more flattering for women "of a certain age".

BTW, I don't like that reference and I don't use it with clients. I look at a woman's complexion and decide which products to use. Some women (like me at 73...OMG!) have few wrinkles or sagging skin because I've been following techniques of good skincare for many decades...started Retin A in my 30's, acids and montly facials by a derm who kept advising me along the way. I was lucky to be privy to new products as they hit the market and changed up as I got older to address any issues.

RMS is also sold at Nordstrom and Anthropologie if either of those is closer.

My only comment is one I have stated on a previous RMS thread. There is no one size fits all for application. It depends on your face shape, eye shape, etc. as to where you should apply certain products to look best on you.

If I applied my blush so it didn't go below my nose, it would be up under my eyes.

FWIW I was not that impressed with the display but that is my personal evaluation

she is a no watch for me

I am sure Elise was much better

the other only talks about her shade b/c she does not prepare for her shows

@Shanus - I have not yet tried this brand, but I did watch the RMS show with Elise. It is actually nice to hear the vendor explain and talk about their product during the presentation, including any tips a consumer might need/want.

Elise is top notch as a host and should be on way more than she is. Always prepared and calm when presenting an item.
