Sorry for writing this, I'm sure it will be deleted. 

No-one should be buying philosophy from QVC anymore, this Joan lady, not a fan.

They fired all of the favorite reps, and that was just wrong.

@fatcat4221 - So...your solution (without knowing why the former reps left) would be to stop everyone buying the products, cause the company to fail and put many other workers who depend on their paychecks to lose their jobs?

 

People leave for many reasons and, to my knowledge, nothing has been disclosed about the change of reps for Philosophy.

 

If you don't want to buy it, that's fine.  Vote with your wallet.  I will continue to buy what I want, regardless of whom is the current rep.  Doing otherwise would simply seem childish to me.

I would not go so far as telling people not to purchase due to an unfavorable rep. I do think sales will decrease with their current choice. The Philosophy shows just don't hold my attention for long like the other 3 beautiful ladies did. 

 

I believe faithful Philosophy users will continue to buy. However, for others like me, I'm not watching the entire shows for the newest and latest items or the OTO's and special buys because I lose interest. 

 

Nothing really against this new rep but she is a little dull and lackluster in my opinion.

How petty can you be?  What do you do when someone you know irl loses their job?  You can certainly stop buying, but trying to get others to boycott with you is purely childish.  

 

All of the former reps look like they're enjoying their lives and have moved on according to their social media accounts.

I'll go as far as saying, with some products is a rep even necessary? Curious about the fragrance, a host could read the front of the bottle. How many times does a loofa need to be squeezed?

QVC didn't fire the representatives, so boycotting Philosophy on QVC makes no sense (to me.)  Seems you would want to boycott Philosophy anywhere and everywhere. 

 

Philosophy/Coty did the terminating and supplies the representation.

I've seen Joan a couple of times and thought she did a good job.

I don't purchase or not because of the rep, it's about using or enjoying the product.

 

I'm considering this 4 piece shower gel set for $32.98 and free shipping.

If I like the product I will buy it whether or not I like the host or representative.

I dont buy the shower gels any longer not due to the on air rep but because of all the nasty dyes in them .At least they did have the good sense to remove the sulfates.

I agree, the older reps were WAY better than this new one but it would not stop me from buying a Philosophy product.  Things change and life goes on...
