Re: Chaka Khan perfume on HSN!!!

The presentation with Amy was a trainwreck. I lasted 10 minutes, learned nothing about th scent and left. I tried to watch the recorded version but geez, it was awful.

 

Did anyone notice that the packaging for her scent is virtually identical to the Toni Braxton scent (now gone for good)?  I kept waiting to see if there was some story (Toni had one) about the design to see if they were similar but in the short time I could handle the presentations, nothing was mentioned about it either. 

 

Part of me thinks that this is just a scent she slapped her name on for the money. She's a LEGEND so it kinda makes me sad. For those who did order it, hope it's amazing!!!

Another mistake for me in the perfume department.  The Chaka perfume had a strong, overpowering scent right when sprayed and then dried down to nothing.  DH got right up in my neck and couldn't smell anything.  And, truth be told, the bottle is dumb.  I probably would have liked it years ago, though, so I could sing with it instead of my hairbrush,  LOL

 

It's going back. 🤦‍♀️

So sorry to hear this. How unfortunate and disappointing. 

 

The only scent I really love from HSN is Iman's Love Memoir. It's truly beautiful and suits me so much that I purchased a back up when there was a price drop. Ebay had some great prices too. Many sellers broke up the three piece kit and the 10ml purse size traveler was a great and inexpensive try me opportunity. 

 

Also Trish McAvoy's #9 was offered a couple years back and highly recommended here. I ended up purchasing the 3pc set from Nordie's...luckily, another very pretty scent. 

 

Hope you find something you love! Happy Thanksgiving.  Gobble Gobble 🦃🦃

Y'all aren't going to believe this. Since it was here anyway, I gave it another try this morning.  Not only did DH say he could smell it this time, but he likes it!  I guess I'll keep it. The bottle is still stupid, though.  🤪

Re: Chaka Khan perfume on HSN!!!

Was curious about what the look of the bottle was and I have to say it is tacky and ugly. Interesting that of course it has a lot of 5 star reviews. In time we will see how the reviews are in time c
