Oh how I miss that Crystal Clear mask it was FABBY, used to LOVE Syence too

 

[Sazza]

Remember Talika? Something to do with plastic surgery recovery in blue packing i seem to remember? Never used it but see loads of QVC brands past and present are on hqhair

I just remembered another one - La Mirador. I think it was meant to be QVC's own range.

Nikkid, I remember Talika - I used to get their under eye patches and still have some in fact!!

SpaceNK also sell Talika

AS do we - fantastic range

I too saw Laura Mercier on US QVC yesterday - very interesting and a beautiful make up range

They stocked Ren for a while, but at least they're happily going from strength to strength on their own without QVC. Shame, though, because I'd love some TSV priced bundles from them!

[Just Beauty Direct]

I loved Tony & Tina. I'm down to my last couple of millimetres of my most favourite lipstick ever, which was a T&T one. Their eyebase was wonderful too. Why do all the best things never last? :sadsmilie:

I loved the Eyebase, so was so annoyed when they pulled out of the uk.

They had the best ever mascara, which had a really quite dry 'shoe-polishy' sort of texture, and never smudged or clumped.

Also lovely lip glosses which were completely non-sticky.

BTW, Aveda is now very easy to source, even if you don't have access to one of the big dept stores.

Try www.HQhair.com

www.lookfantastic.com

or Aveda's own uk based website.

I would be interested to see Laura Mercier on QVC as her products generally get good write-ups in the beauty press. But I would advise people to steer clear of the illuminating version of her TM, which I found very sparkly and greasy.

anyone remember Ultraglow with the really camp guest? those lipsticks that "magically" changed colour on your lips!

Yes think I had the yellow one, turn bright pink and couldnt get it off for a week hahaha

I loved there DURAKISS lipsticks though, I came across one other day back of a drawer forgot all about that make so have recently ordered some from ebay they were good lipsticks.....

 

[Whatsinaname]

I've just had a look on the Ultraglow site and they do BWC as well so I'm going to give it a try. Thanks

[stardust]

Ok, I know it's not a beauty item (maybe comes under health though?),
but does anyone know what happened to Brite Bites?

I used to buy those bars quite often and even Jill Franks would happily devour them!

 

[Mikado]

Anyone remember Hairflex? It had that guy who looks like Kenny Rodgers. I always wanted the bendy brush, it looked good :56:

 

[star234]

Does anybody remember the woman from Dynasty (?) who had really bad cosmetic surgery and was selling some mask thing that looked like a torture implement???
I think it even send electric impulses ( I might remember that wrong) at key points on to your face??
OMG?????:11:

court case in the US about false advertising. Infact QVC just got fined not long ago over it, must take awhile in America and it was really big bucks too!!!!!!
