You can buy products on the Q & HSN anywhere, they aren't exclusive...a discount store in my town displays Dooney & Burke in a barrel. The Q doesn't own HSN...Qurate owns them & Zulily, Grandin Road, Improvements, Ballard Designs, Frontgate & Garnet Hill.

I readily admit that I’m resistant to change, but I just don’t 

like seeing Beauty Bioscience on QVC. I had to do a double take. I relate Beauty Bioscience to HSN. Yes, I know QVC now owns HSN...blah, blah, blah. However, I appreciate one brand per one home shopping channel. I don’t like these cross overs. It’s stupid. Both QVC & HSN don’t both need to sell Beauty Bioscience, Dooney & Burke, etc. I just don’t like it. I know it sounds sort of weird, but still. Too many changes. It’s turning me off. I don’t like the new graphics on HSN either. I hope I don’t turn on HSN tomorrow morning and see Josie Maran!


I watched QVC for particular sellers, and I watched HSN for particular sellers. Skincare products and beauty items in general are my favorites. I associate QVC with Josie Maran, Perricone MD and Tatcha. I associate HSN with Beauty Bioscience, Perlier and Signature Club. Seeing Jamie on QVC was just shocking to me, and it was actually uncomfortable to watch. Didn’t fit. Jamie is too much for Shawn. The only thing weirder would be seeing Adrienne Arpel on QVC. Vice versa, Josie Maran on HSN would be strange, and there’s no way Tatcha would fit on HSN!

 

I’ve always thought of HSN as more light-hearted and fun, whereas QVC is more serious and sophisticated. Neither bad, but different in their feels. With all theses cross overs, there is nothing unique about either any more.

 

I will offer these two last thoughts:

 

1. Christmas and holiday items in general have always been better on QVC than HSN. Valerie on HSN would be odd!

 

2. If QVC/HSN were smart, they’d nab Skinn Cosmetics from EVINE!

It almost seems like a waste of time to watch now.  You see XX brand on QVC; then you change the channel and it is on the Q Beauty channel.  The next day you see the same item on HSN, but with their host and a different rep.    Watching less and buying less.

Here is one thng ot keep in mind, today I received a 20% off coupon from HSN for one item, I will never receive that from the Q, so see same item on both, buy it from HSN!!



Me too and I used it on the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Mask 4-pack set with Free Shipping!  I love Génifique and can't wait to try this. Plus, the holiday return policy has started. If I don't like it { which I doubt it } then I can return it.

@StarliteshineI still have a hard time even believing this myself..like I'm in a fog.

Memory is so bad and I can feel I lost so much of myself when he passed.

Rarely go out and fearful and anxious.

I am getting good help and go to a nationwide group for losing your child at any age.

It's intense but helps b/c they have been there in their loss and understand.

Thank you so much for the kind words and prayers.

I just want me back..I know he isn't coming back all I ask God is for me back. They say we change and it is so true but not liking this new me! It is not me Smiley Sad

No need to reply..just TY <3

Judith Ripka is debuting on HSN sometime this month I think it is.

 

I have said more than once I really see a merger between both companies down the road and one of them going away.  There is no reason for 2 channels to sell the same exact products. 

 

If I were the hosts on HSN, I'd be a little nervous.


@Lipstickdiva you've got a point...regarding a merge.

But that would mean more channels? omgosh we have so many Q channels glad I can't even get Q2 or HSN2 at home only while I'm in down the shore I can see all channels.

Beauty IQ we get here in PA I enjoy it and Q live and Evine... that's ENOUGH..too many make me crazy and shop more.

Hard to imagine J Ripka on HSN..it's so weird how we get used to the same things.

I feel the same way! Keurig is now on HSN. confusing. Guess they encouage using a credit card for each channel. Too much.
