Public Service Announcement - Pixi launch on QVC UK

Courtesy Matthew Carasella

This just in: tomorrow evening (Wednesday) at 8pm, during Alison Young's Beauty Night in, Pixi are launching on QVC UK.

Tune in to see what delights await you dear reader.

In the meantime, we can neither confirm or deny rumours that one or both of these women will be present.

Look how professional we are.

OH.

One thing's for sure. This week's vlog will be interesting. :)

*Pixi are one of my business clients. But they're on here because I want you to know about the availability on QVC, not because they pay for special treatment on the blog. I don't do that. As you know.

Alpha-H TSV for QVC

Next Tuesday 19th August, Alpha-H have a new TSV launching on QVC.  It contains 3 full sizes of:

Micro Cleanse - 100ml
Liquid Gold - 100ml
Protection Plus Daily SPF50+ - 50ml

While I can't tell you the price, I can tell you that it is the lowest price TSV that Alpha-H have ever done for QVC.

Tune in Tuesday at Midnight for the launch. More on Alpha-H here.

Any excuse to put Mr Ogden on the blog! :)

Alpha-H Exclusives and QVC Bank Holiday Monday

This Bank Holiday Monday QVC are holding a one-off day called 'Got to have It'. It's essentially a day full of TSV's - that's not what they're called - but it's what they are...*jazz hands*

Alpha-H are including one of their newest launches tomorrow as part of a kit called 'Instant Results'.

It contains 3 full size products and included in the kit are:

Micro Cleanse

Absolute Eye Complex

and the new Instant Facial

Instant Facial is 93% organic botanicals and is essentially your daily exfoliator and hydrator - in a spray function. For those of us in a hurry, or god forbid too lazy for those of you that are nervous about going the whole hog and stepping into daily exfoliation this could be the thing for you. 

It's kind of like a daily Liquid Gold - albeit in a very mild way - but it doesn't replace it.

Instant Facial will both exfoliate and hydrate and allow the products that follow it to penetrate properly instead of being applied to dead skin.

The kit launches at 10am on Monday morning and is shown again at 2pm. 

These 2 full sizes are worth over £94 on the high street - it is being listed at £32.88, a saving of over £60.00.

On Tuesday at 9pm on QVC, Alpha-H launch their brand new Liquid Laser.

Liquid Laser helps stimulate cellular repair and provides instant hydration. Used on alternate evenings, it acts as a moisture builder and helps turn the tired, devitalised and slightly saggy epidermis into a plump and dewy one. Yes please.

Liquid Laser is £30.00.

More info can be found on QVC.CO.UK/ALPHA-H

Alpha-H shows are:

Monday 10am and 2pm - Instant Results Kit launch

Tuesday 9pm - Liquid Laser launch

Wednesday 6pm

CODE VLM Mascara

I, like everyone, am on the perpetual search for the ultimate mascara - and whilst I don't think I'll ever stop trying new ones, I do have a few that I think are particularly brilliant. CODE Volumising Lengthening Mascara (VLM) is one of them.

It was made by two women who had tried everything on the market and found them all lacking in one element or another. CODE VLM is the result of their collaboration.

Unlike some mascaras I've tried recently that contain a lot of fibres - or even a separate application of fibres (personally a disaster for me), this is a smooth, creamy consistency that doesn't flake or smudge and almost as importantly to me as the performance, it washes off with ease. It's also paraben free and they don't test on animals. 

CODE VLM premieres on QVC this afternoon at 4pm during Alison Young's show. 

To celebrate CODE Beautiful have offered five mascaras to readers of this blog. Mighty generous from a small start-up.

To enter, simply leave a comment below. Giveaway closes Saturday 30th November in the evening at 11.59pm. UK only. Five winners will be chosen at random.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

And good luck to Sarah on QVC!

Heads Up! Elemis TSV - QVC 20th November

Attention all Elemis and QVC fans - Elemis's final TSV of the year is this Sunday 20th November and has 10 - yes TEN airings throughout the day.

The Five Piece Tranquil Indulgence Face and Body Collection includes all of the above plus a final secret product which will be announced with the lovely Keeley at Midnight on the 20th. It is priced at under £40 and guarantees a 50% saving. As you can see from the picture the new Pro Radiance Hand and Nail Cream launches with this TSV - it doesn't go on general release for another 3 months so this is your chance to try it. I've had a sneak preview and it doesn't disappoint.

Fingers at the ready.

QVC - Midnight 20th November. Item no 200194

QVC Beauty Bash

Last Thursday and Friday saw the Annual QVC Beauty Bash take place at the Business Design Centre in Islington.  The Beauty Bash gives QVC's customers the chance to meet the presenters of their favourite brands and to experience some of the products that they may not yet have tried...

This year the Bash was expanded and moved to bigger premises to accommodate the huge demand from viewers. I attended in my capacity as QVC Brand Ambassador for all for eve .

Wow. What a couple of days. Four sessions of 400 of QVC's biggest fans. And I mean fans. What these people do not know about QVC is not worth knowing. This is the land of the TSV, the OTO and the Hot Pick. The land where Alison Young is Queen, her word golden and her status that of rock star. And it's not just Ali Young, brand presenters on QVC are all known by their first name: Keeley, Tom, Leighton, Lee and Sasha, Paul, Lori and Will, Caroline (not ME - Liz Earle's!), Alexis, Andrew and Margaret to name a few that were there.

We had a spot next to the fabulous Tom and Michelle from Alpha-H and it was a wonderful opportunity  to spread the word of all for eve and the phenomonal work of The Eve Appeal.

We had amazing feedback from customers who had purchased our TSV in December and not only liked the value but loved the products.

Personally, the most important part of the day for me was sharing stories with people who had lost someone to a gynaecological cancer, or had experienced it themselves. The support shown for all for eve from QVC viewers was humbling, encouraging and terribly moving.

So for those of you who stopped by to share stories, jumped in to say 'BEST shower gel I EVER used' or even gave me my own 'moment' when I was 'spotted' in the queue for the loo - a massive Thank You! We are thrilled to know we are succeeding in spreading the word and hopefully doing our bit in some small way to raise awareness of these life-shattering cancers.

Thank you for having us QVC!
