Where are the mirrors???

Snowhite714 — Sun, 20 Sep 2015 20:54:12 GMT

I am not trying to be mean, but sitting here watching IT Cosmetics presentation and asking myself do these hosts and vendor reps not look in a mirror before they go out on stage? Don't they have people that check them for makeup, wardrobe, or other issues that should be resolved before going on air???

Some of them always come out in too tight dresses, in light colors that they should not be in, in styles that are not flattering at all. How can you look in the mirror, with the light on I'm assuming, and tell me that those too tight dresses, in the same style all the time look good on you, how is that possible?? I find it distracting, I spend more time wondering about your sense of style than I do watching the product presentation.

Come on people. let's get it together.

You know, I think that I have been reading these forums too long (and it's only been about a month) because some people are beginning to rub off on me and I hate that, because now I am becoming so negative. But these on air personalities are in the business of selling us an image and they themselves don't even project that image.

Come on people, come on!!!

It's probably not a good thing when a viewer is looking at the vendor and not the products presented. It can be distracting, but maybe they like the look?

It's a fair question .,...... but I've been asking myself that for years when I'm out in public ..... did that person actually look at themselves in a mirror before leaving home and decide they looked good? If so, when was the last time they had an EYE EXAM ........ lol

I'm sure that most of it is personal style and that apparently QVC allows each to their own devices. I believe I know to whom you are speaking and she had stated once that her hairstyle and dress have remained the same because she is superstitous in changing anything once her brand hit it big. So... same look, same style, just different fabrics......

I think the It Cosmetics presenter is beautiful. She's confident, stylish and classy.

They aren't selling their own outfit though. Most hosts don't wear the q clothes they are selling. They may have on something I'd never wear, but it doesn't bother me. I look at the item presented.

Anyone else wonder why IT cosmetics has been on so much? It seems like its every week...I've found myself watching less and less of QVC because of it. Doesn't matter if I am or am not a fan of IT - it seems rediculous at this point.

I think this only the 2nd time I've ever made a comment on a blog...

Interesting, didn't know that. And yes I was wondering about the hair also. Well that explains it. Thank you for enlightening me.

I'll say one thing...She is probably Spanx's biggest customer. It's a wonder she can breathe.

It's called personal taste - everyone has it, and it varies widely. I tend to agree with you about the vendor you're speaking of, but it's her prerogative to maintain her personal sense of style.

I don't enjoy watching that vendor in part because of her never-changing and slightly odd appearance, so I don't watch the presentations of her products. But there are so many other people who DO like her. Doesn't make anyone wrong or right, just different strokes. Plenty of people diss, and dislike, hosts and vendors I enjoy watching.

I gotcha, very good question.

I agree with the light colored dresses being very unflattering.

So I suppose all overweight women should be banned from appearing in public unless they are in a mu mu? I guess this will be a question in the next Presidential debate because it seems to be of such conern to some citizens. It comes up EVERY time this poor lovely successful woman is on.

Most is the time it is prefaced with "I'm not trying to be mean, but I am going to be. . . " or something like that.

I am not questioning Jamie's right to pick what she would like to wear. She just needs to size up one or two sizes. It is very distracting. Like someone else said, I am not listening to the presentation, I wonder how she could even zipper the dress up without breaking the zipper.

@Sooner. Thank you! Well said.

I don't find her appearance distracting, it's the applying of the powered foundation without a mirror. The brush picks up too much powder as she continuously swirls the brush while talking and then the makeup is flying all over and is caked on because she has nothing with which to judge the application. I didn't realize how bad this was until I bought a larger screen TV. It was a powder storm and with thick layers caked under her eyes and around her nose. I realize her spiel is that it is easy application, but really, I doubt people apply makeup without a mirror as her compact has one. I like IT products and use several, but this demo does not make me want to buy powdered foundation.

@SunValley I know what you're saying. I also saw the powder flying, but she has a serious case of roseacia. It isn't easy to cover unless your foundation is fairly heavy. I admire her for exposing her flaws. Not many people would do that in front of thousands of people.

And her choice works for me. Because she pretty always looks the same, I rarely check her out which means if I am watching, it's the products I concentrate on.

I care about what the people are wearing only when it's what they are selling.

Very true. You make a valid point.
