Found this a strange statement

hyacinth003 — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 05:31:20 GMT

Was watching a few minutes of philosophy early this morning. I can't think of her name - the blonde lady who comes on at night for them.

Host was Stacey. They were talking about the microdelivery peel (2 piece one). So Stacey launches into this thing about how she goes for a 3 step peel (I think to an esthetician) every month.

I found that odd, considering they were trying to SELL a home peel to the audience!

Sometimes I think the hosts THINK they need to say something and they really shouldn't! The rep from philosophy does a fine job of explaining her product, and I think she was a little taken back by the thing about the 3 step peel!

Sometimes, saying less is more!

Used to bother me hearing hosts go on and on owning every item in duplicates. Yesterday, CG while selling LG makeup exclaimed!! Her mascara the best of the best! While that may be true, Seen her hail other mascara the same exact way. Which brings me back to your observation, More importantly, Than less is more. Tuning out!! For my sanity, Do this often or change the channel. Frankly, Shop Qvc online, TV minimally. By the way! Love Philosophy skin care.💋

LOL...There are a lot of strange statements coming from the show host's! Some good, some not so good and some are hilarious!

I was just brought back to this recently by CG. And please understand that I really like her and have no problem listening to her at all however if she does indeed own everything she says she does (and maybe that's true).... she's there to sell.

Everything she says is to sell. She does a great job of it and explains things very well but her "owning" it personally does not make me want to buy it. I know she's a sales person and a good one, and I wish her nothing but the best because I like her personality..... but listening to her she owns everything (and in duplicates) as does her Mom and Dad and everyone close to her...... it's a marketing strategy that just doesn't work on me.

I know what you are saying. I am tired of hearing the hosts go on and on about what they have. I am certainly not jealous, but it does get to be a little extreme. The comments of what they own, how much and how many, etc. gets to be a little unnerving. I might be inclined to own multiples of things if I was a show host too. While I don't mind comments that are meant to clarify a product, I could care less how much they own or what their habits are. If I could afford to go to an aesthetician, I might not look every bit of my soon to be 70 years!!!!! LOL

I don't understand why the host's all think they have to say they own everything, are the producers telling them to say they do? They have to know that the viewing audience picks up on things like that.

I've often thought SK's personal clothes closet must be bigger than my whole house to hold everything she says she buys. I can just picture her trying to find one specific black garment among a year's purchase of new, unworn black garments.

Of course it's a marketing strategy, but so is the rest of their persona. They say and share things they would only with a friend, to draw you in. I just cringe and feel so sorry for women who call in and tell these hosts how much they think of them. These people are salesmen who are trying to separate you from your money for COL! Sorry,back to the post, I didn't see that show, but I can only imagine and I'm not surprised.

I don't care for Carolyn for just that reason. She "owns" too many of the items she sells. Maybe she does, but it sure sounds disingenuous to me and not something I can take as the truth. Makes me not want to buy from her. I'm older and have heard all the phony sales pitches. Don't give me a line. I go online and make up my own mind.

No, it was the other lady that is usually on later at night. Really pleasant, pretty woman. Actually, they all are from philosophy. Even though I could do without more shows for awhile.

She sort of looked dumbstruck, but carried on well!

This kind of felt like "well, I go to the esthetician for a PROFESSIONAL PEEL, but you at home could get this home peel!"

Just felt SO off!!!!
