Elton John...."Candle in the Wind"

Personally, while I don't dislike the host who's going to London, like others, I'm tired of hearing about it, even though I watch sparingly. Frankly, it seems like she's always on. Hoping the London trip is a long if not permanent one and that any trans-Atlantic broadcasts are kept to an absolute minimum.

I know Shawn would love to live in the UK & work for QVC but she has a mother who is in assisted living. I don’t see her moving at this point in time.

I’m not a fan of Elton John’s music & the ingredients are not new to me so I don’t see anything unique. I’d hope he’d donate proceeds but many famous people seem to go on forever like Martha Stewart & I guess you can never have too much $$$$.

Harry has made many candles for Elton over the years & they are probably friends so why commercialize the candles now? Maybe, he’s doing this to help Harry who seems to only sell candles on QVC, though Harry has a very lavish lifestyle but you never know?

I like his wife’s candles much better.

I know many love Elton & his music so maybe fans will purchase them & I hope you enjoy your purchase.

I don't watch QVC and I'm happy to have missed anything with the annoying host who is the primary reason I stopped watching the channel.  However, I thought the little collection of 12 candles wasn't a bad price and some of the scents sounded intriguing so I bought it.  I know, in the past, that some of the Slatkin small candle collections had no scent.  I have my fingers crossed that this collection will smell good.

I am not or ever been a fan of his so not interested in anything with his name on it.

Not a fan of Elton or the host....but I don't watch so it doesn't bother me. I love, love Harry's candles....I have a ton of them and think I may be addicted. Yikes!

Have they had any shoes yet?  I'm not watching QVC TV these days but I'm on the app and Facebook a lot.  I don't buy Slatkin candles and Elton John won't change that .

I can see the celebrity route QVC is taking. Hoping it will encourage people to buy.

I never buy celebrity endorsed products. for those tempted by celebrity it will work.

They are also now offering a lot of QVC in-house brands.  I don’t see this going well for them.

Agreed wholeheartedly.  How many times does Shawn Killinger say she is going to London.  PALEEZE.  Also I think it is hilarious that Elton has 2 homes in Beverly Hills but QVC has to send Shawn and Harry Slatkin to London for effect.  Cannot believe Elton is actually doing this... Why?  He certainly does not need to.

Elton loves candles -  he had Harry candle-decorate his new home.  This new collab isn't odd.  Who's idea was it to include Shawn,  I wonder.  Reminds me of the past elevated status of Lisa Robertson before she left the Q.
