Welcome to the forum heroicos
QVC have definitely courted the brands we've heard of, but really I'd rather watch them present the weird niche brands which aren't available elsewhere. Some have been real gems whilst others were utter carp, remember the liquid soap maker? I rarely watch a full hour of say Kipling bags or kuhn rikon kitchen stuff but when they used to do those potpourri hours with an eclectic mix of gold jewellery, drain unblocker and slim n lift pants, they drew me into watching QVC originally and I wish they'd bring back QVC Selection hours, household helpers etc.
Tomorrow's BareMinerals/Escentuals (or whatever they're calling themselves this week) will be as dull as ditchwater, endless repeats of the TSV and a dozen other items from the range, which is available in many department stores these days. The US brands which aren't readily available in the UK used to be the real tempters from Q, Laura Geller still has this pull.
