Re: Why is HSN disguising a word in their Benefit kit?

They market their products to a younger audience.  All their makeup has some catchy name.  That is actually mild "ass" compare to Tom Ford and I certainly won't give you that name.

That's horror in the world today...too many accept and dont feel a blip in their personal radar...so it goes on, and takes it to the next level...much lower.  This is what lures in customers...????  WOW!!


@Dazlin, speaking for myself and presumptuously for @RoughDraft, I doubt that we consider "horror in the world today" in the same way as you do.

@SilleeMee, I may be wrong, but I doubt the the FCC list is exactly the same as QVC's list, which btw seems to change over time.

Yes, @suzyQ3, I think you might be right about that. Q's list changes with the times it seems.

While it doesn't offend you, it more than likely would someone else.  It's crass.


 

 

@MarkeieMark Equal to NARS Orgasm blush? There are many names given to makeup like Benefit’s Better Than Sex mascara and some of the names in the Urban Decay line. In 2018, it isn’t crass to me anymore.

This thread is borderline ‘baiting’ with a controversial topic,

but I guess I’m biting ‘cuz I’m responding...🙃

 

HSN isn’t ‘hiding’ anything.  It’s a stock photo for the product.

Ulta, Macy’s, Sak’s, JCPenney...they all have the same photo.

well, i have seen written on these boards that some people think that qvc and hsn are "family viewing" and that hosts should be careful what they say on the air because "young ears" could be listening.

Re: Why is HSN disguising a word in their Benefit kit?

The name just sounds Odd. The word that comes to mind as preceeding "Ass" is DUMB.  Sorry, can't shake that thought so I'd need to be Really impressed by the kit to get past that.
