Good for Pat!!!

LilacTree — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:52:33 GMT

Last night and so far today they keep saying the TSV is 26 items for the one low price. Even last night, I was lying there counting the products and only came to 12. It seems they are counting each color in the eye shadow kits.

When Pat was presenting today, she kept saying 12 items (which is a good enough number, IMO), but the vendor kept saying 26. It was a silent battle between them, but it was pretty comical. Pat was counting the eye shadow kits as two products, which is correct.

Not that I plan to watch all day, but I will check in occasionally to see how many of the hosts will say "26" and how many will be brave, like Pat, and say "12."

Imagine if they were selling just one of the eye shadow kits . . . would they be presenting that as 8 products? NO! They would just say there are 8 colors in the kit.

Sometimes I wonder if they think we are all nitwits.

I'm wondering if the vendor is grasping at straws to sell the TSV. They presented it at 7:55 as they always do, then they presented it again at 8:30. To me, that means it's not moving.

I don't know what has been happening the rest of the day as I only saw the morning show.

Just noticed Amy Stran is hawking the ""26 full-sized items"" claim on this TSV.

I wouldn't buy this TSV if they were selling it for a dollar. I'm really annoyed by this obvious misrepresentation. I'd like to send an email to the Q about this. Does anyone know the email address?

Pat James DeM? She is my favorite host though I never get to see her anymore. Quietly honest.

12 or 26 -- just too much ""stuff"". No one needs that many eyeshadows. Just adds to the clutter I always end up throwing away.

That does seem to be stretching it but to defend the hosts, the pressed eyes shadows on the Tarte website are .06oz and the ones in the TSV are .07 so they are all full sized shadows.

But still, I would count the palettes as 2 items.

Just click on Customer Service at the top of the page, then on the next page on the right-hand side you will see underlined "Click here to send us an email". That should give you the place to send your comments.

Yes, me too. Because we would never see them sell a .07 little square of eye shadow as one item. What could they possibly charge for it? Sandra was saying last night that the price divided by the amount of products would make each product about $2.10 each. But she was using "26" as the number of items, not 12. And I like Sandra. I guess she has to do what she's told to do.

Oh well, not the end of the world I guess . . . just annoying and unnecessary.

Thanks, Kitty. I am going to do that.

I just sent them an email. I wonder if I will get a response. I will post it if I do.

...and the individual eye shadows are sold for $17 each on the tarte website....

i am not buying this set, but it is a very good deal, a great way to gift makeup items, and a nice quality line.

I don't know why they try to make something sound better than it is especially when the 12 items are a good value without stretching them into 26. Next they'll be adding the dust bag to handbags to make it a two item purchase for one great price.

I would like this TSV if the items were in actual separate kits...that you could use as gifts. Simply giving someone a box of mascara seems odd to me. I'm passing on this set.

Heck, my DD is still working with last year's Christmas package.

Yes, Ford, they think we're all nitwits.

I don't really understand the Holiday Eye Shadow Pallet thing that it seems ALL cosmetic companies come out with EVERY holiday season.

I don't know anyone who uses all of the colors, and it's not like you can give a couple of them away as they are stuck in the pallet.

One pallet equals One item.

I wouldn't buy it anyway. Tarte eye makeup make my eyes burn. The lip gloss is pretty, but not worth $60!

Pat has it spot on. They advertise it as 'breaking up the set to give as gifts'. It's not like I can gouge out each eyeshadow....one palette, one item.

It's like a tube of mascara is considered 2 items...the tube for $20 w/ a free wand.

I have to agree, too much stuff!

I happened to be channel hopping the other night when they were showing Lori Grenier's giant make-up organizer. I forget who the host was (may Jill B) who was saying that it would be great to have this product to organize your make-up as it holds 120 pieces, and while you're organizing you can downsize and declutter! I'm thinking keeping 120 make-up items is hardly downsizing!

If this starts, we'll know they read the boards!
