I'm sure they get items to try.

It may sound disingenuous, but the hosts do get a sample of these products, so it's not a total lie when they say they use. It would be more truthful to say "I tried it", but then a viewer could perceive that to mean tried and wasn't wowed, and their job is to present every product as a "wow! you must have this."

@mamawsboys They're salespeople and like all salespeople, they'll say anything to sell a product. They aren't your friends. They're there to do a job.

@mamawsboys Don't base your purchase on what the host has to say. All the host cares about is selling. Read the reviews online, if available.

@mamawsboys @Katcat1 @Kachina624 @Trix @GCR18 There are so many products of different brands I use all the time - maybe not every day but at least once a week. I have several foundations I like and use off and on each week and month but my favorite is Perricone original which I use more. I use several different mascaras daily and many I use weekly but not always the same ones. The same with creams, serums, etc. I always use Crepe Erase daily but always use one of several body creams I get an extra boost in the look and feel of my skin daily also. It is quite believeable when they say things like that.

I'd never go by what a host or vendor says. They are there to sell and nothing else. Google can be your best friend before buying. Find reviews of that product. Find out if it's cruelty free. Read the ingredients to determine if it's really good for your skin type. Is there a lower price on another reputable site? Is there free shipping and returns on another site? I've found that 90% of what Q sells can be found elsewhere for a better price, free shipping, promo code, or some other perk.

@mamawsboys I know, they all use everything and everything is their favorite. 😄 It's a sales pitch.

@mamawsboys They're there to sell, so of course everything is their favorite (makeup/skincare) or they have multiples if shoes/clothing. Check other reviews or ask here if in doubt.
