@SurferWife My first Gravel item, so with this positive of an experience, I may try more. I normally turn down the volume when she is on or mute....too much exuberance for me! LOL!

It seems like there are less shows this year. I LOVE watching Chaz but it's taking too long for him to appear on the screen!

My summer favs.....
melon mint which smells exactly like melons! Usually you don't know what scent you're getting with the name.
Tropical Paradise, light and yummy
Honey peach, love peach and well honey too!

Anyone have the 411 on the new fall and winter scent?

[Artista928]

Ok, I saw it's plum for fall and berries for winter. Anyone try samples they send out to some people? Not a berry person but wonder what plum really smells like.

@Tazluvr789a He has mentioned many times on Facebook and other social media, and at the salon when I have asked, that what determines how often he is asked to return to QVC and how many presentations during each visit he will have is directly a result of how many people purchased his products DURING his previous presentations. 

Sometimes it takes a couple of months before they get the final results, perhaps because of possible returns. Not sure, but do know one year when I was there after his yearly June visit, he said he wouldn't know if he would have a September TSV (which is what he asked for) until the final numbers come out to him from QVC for the June visits he had that year. 

So many people order ahead of time and not when he is presenting. Those pre-purchases do not count toward his sales quota that QVC sets for him and every vendor when they appear. Seems like they should count, but they don't. Especially irksome since QVC allows pre-sales, but doesn't let them count toward the sales quota given.

If there is a vendor who you think is on too much, like IT Cosmetics, Philosophy, Dooney and Bourke, and any others that seem to always be on, it's because they not only meet but possibly surpass the sales quota determined by QVC.

It doesn't seem fair that it works that way, because all sales no matter when they were made should go toward his quota, but that's not how QVC works. That's why you will see some of post a reminder not to order your WEN until he is presenting. He does not have to be presenting what you want to purchase, as long as it is a WEN product, it goes towards the goal for him. Just purchase during the hour his show is on, or if he has a short 15-minute presentation in another larger show with many vendors, then you need to order during that 15-minute time for it to count.

So I usually keep a list of things I want to order ahead of time. He is going to be on again at the end of the month; think it is the 26th, 27th, and 28th. Already have a few things listed that I could order now, but won't in order for him to meet or surpass his sales goal.

The more we order DURING his presentations to help him reach his QVC goal, the more often they will invite him back; and in that same vein, the more presentations he will have in any given day during those visits.

@Artista928 Oh, yes. @SurferWife tried both of them for us and did a review. Can't wait to purchase a bottle of each of them. She made them sound wonderful!

I am cool with Kim's exuberance, but I do understand what you're saying.  I guess I like her so much because she is southern.

@SurferWife
Can you describe the new plum pear fall fragrance? Does it have honey in it? Is scent strong?

[Artista928]

Melon mint rocks! So refreshing and cooling. My guinea pig is sniffing for melons!
