What has happened to this product line? I really liked using the foundation, but it seems to have disappeared. Very disappointed. Thanks for any info.

@jrcnc I, too, love it. Bought enough that I still have some so I have not looked for it. I remember Sandra singing it's praises. They could not agree to a further deal or it did not sell enough for Q to keep or the company bowed out. Sad. It is a Japanese company and I believe they purchased Tarte. Someone please post if you know were to find it. I know there is some on ebay.

The line IS still here, barely. The water-luxe gel creme foundation is sold here in a configuration with One by Kose's setting powder, Item #A297545. They also sell their concealer compact if you're interested. Both presently are waitlist only with limited color selections.

I purchased this foundation the last time it was on air and it's my favorite. I did stock up because Sandra said they can't get it very often. I don't think this product is sold in the United States. The Q probably gets stock once in a while from QVC Japan.

Your post made me curious as I always like to look up brands new to me. Very interesting reading their global statement, and corporate philosophy.

Kose is a huge global company. They offer many levels of products, and own many brands, including, apparently Tart.

Their products are available on line in the US. Just do a search.

There is an extremely limited color selection on Ebay. Most of the ads are for the compact only that has the mirror. I went to a couple of other websites that came up in searches, but after the page loads, it appears the foundation is not available. Most of the time I saw the QVC presentation, it always sold out. So I think there were a lot of QVC customers, but availability just didn't happen.

I bought this item once and really liked it. My only disappointment was the compact that was hard to close and very flimsy. I finally had to toss the rest of the product with the compact as the foundation had dried out. I would try it again if the compact was better. Haven't seen it presented in ages.
