Yesterday I saw a birthday video message on HSN from the Beekman Boys stating they are going to have a TS in July. They didn't say when or what it will be, but I'm interested in it. I like some of their products, some not so much. I missed out on the Nestles Toll House items and would love if they brought them back.

@Jordan2  In case you are not aware, or if it matters to you or anyone else, despite their appearances, their products are not cruelty free. Their goat milk must be obtained from new goat mothers thereby totally contradicting what they peddle. There was a huge thread on this not long ago on HSN with many in an uproar over it and many have  boycotted their products. I have never purchased them, nor will I.

I have been using the milkshake toner after cleansing. I will probably repurchase. I want to get the lilac soap to wash my makeup brushes too. I think it will make them smell good.

I can not verify the accuracy of these posts...but this is just some of what I found on the HSN community...

 

Hello…I think many people do not support Beekman products nor purchase them because they do not agree with how they are produced. According to reliable sources, the baby goats are taken away from their mothers and “bottle served” to “free up” the mother’s milk to produce Beekman products. The mothers and babies cry for days; this seems so cruel!!

 

Hi everyone,
London Miss is spot on about – Beekman products.are NOT cruelty free –
It’s horrid what they do. Male goats are killed, and females are impregnated artficially to keep producing milk.
“They” dress baby goats and parade them, kiss them, for the camera and public who buy thier cruel products and – allow – the horrid cruelty to continue.
The co owner say; we use goat milk because that’s what we had. Oh BS, that’s what they cruely force female goats to produce.
OMG – please have a heart and stop the cruelty.
If Beekman’s is not dropped from HSN I’ll drop HSN and know many other who are going to as well.
PS Pleas have a heart and stop the cruelty.

 

Thank you @KittySoftPaws  for bringing this to our attention.

 

I have always boycotted their products and certainly now will continue to do so.

 

 

They must be paying TBTB a LOT of money on the web to hide this.  Googling only brought up songs of 'clean praise'.

Just so everyone knows Beekman is certified by PETA. Don’t know how much that means. They also get milk from other goat farms. That might happen on other goat farms but those posts don’t know if it’s happening with Beekman.

@Jordan2 - Looks like it will be July 24th for a beauty TS.  They have Happy Place Cleaning products in days before that.
