Truthful statements

LuckyA — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 01:44:43 GMT

I'm really tired of hearing the statement It Cosmetics is the most populat cosmetics in the United States. Courtney just made the statement. Don't stretch the truth to sell the products. She and other hosts do it very often.

@LuckyA How do you know it's not true? I'm sure they'd make such a statement based on gross sales. Do you know how their sales compare to other companies?

All vendors and hosts embellish in one way or another. It's up to the consumer to weed through that and do their own research, or believe who they want to believe.

@LuckyA

Well, you seem pretty sure, so please share how you know this to be true?

I suppose the "most popular" doesn't necessarily mean the top seller.

So ..... what are the facts and figures to substantiate your claim?

I don't know how they quantify "popular" but overall it's L'Oréal from a quick online search. It might be the most popular on QVC in the US.

@LuckyA

Actually, according to what I'm finding, the most popular cosmetic company in the United States is L'Oreal.

It makes sense to me lower priced cosmetics would be more popular.

Maybe, IT Cosmetics are more popular with QVC buyers.

FYI:

L'Oreal bought IT Cosmetics for $1.2 billion in cash in August 2016.

Anytime I've smelled open IT products at TJMaxx, they all smelled rancid and IT products don't last long at my TJ's.

I don't know people put that carp on their faces!

I learned the same thing about Josie's argan oil, even if I kept it in my fridge, it still goes rancid in no time.

Just my opinion based on my own personal experience.

Bingo! So, IT is under that umbrella, and the hosts are using that association in their promotion of the product.

Well. IT Cosmetics "Undereye Concealer" in *LIGHT,* might be the most popular in the USA, 'cause QVC hardly EVER has any "LIGHT" in stock. (am being sarcastic)

I gave up on *LIGHT* in IT Cosm Undereye Concealer, no matter where......

@KingstonsMom

I also had a bottle of Argon Oil go bad .... and I'm positive that the problem wasn't due to leaving the bottle in an overheated room.

It killed me to throw it out, but the smell was bad ... what can you do?

Weird, I've been using IT "carp" on my face for years. I've never had any of it even hint of rancidity. In fact, I've never had any product in a pump go rancid.

@LuckyA I agree that companies should be truthful. Since you brought this up I would love to see your proof. It's just as bad to accuse someone without concrete evidence.

That's why I don't buy ANY beauty products at TJ Maxx or similar retailers. Products get opened. Also you have no idea how long they've been warehoused before hitting the discount shelves.
I use and like many IT products which I purchase from their website

My opinion of IT Cosmetics just took a huge tumble seeing them sell their 2022 Holiday Beauty Book like it's a new version when in reality it's the exact shades/colors as last year's. The only difference is the color of the book itself changed...oh, and the price went up ten bucks.

Re: Truthful statements

RollTide2008 — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 18:58:34 GMT

I don't know that IT did anything deceptive with this year's holiday book. They didn't claim it was all new. They just called it the 2022 edition. The shades have the exact same names as last year. I'm disappointed in it, but I don't feel deceived.

In all fairness, last year's version was essentially the 2020 version with the addition of 3 lip colors. I think the lip colors in the book were completely useless. I don't use a lip brush and wouldn't haul that book around for touch ups.

Whatever the product Courtney or Shawn are presenting "is all they use". I ignore them both. IT foundation is the worst I've used, thick & cakey.

What’s the deal asking for proof? @brandiwine What proof? Everybody is entitled to their opinion. If you want proof, go look it up and come back with the facts.

We have a handful of posters demanding proof. We aren’t writing a dissertation here. We don’t need sources or proof.
