CODE 8 Lipstick

[donna255]

So are we all going to rush to buy the lipstick at £39.96 and then £2.95 shipping?

Now, it is a lovely colour, but no, thanks.

I bet the customers who think that there is no other retailer in the world other than QVC will order it.

I most certainly won’t. What a ridiculous price.

On advance orders. They must be testing the water to see just how gullible some people are!

Nope. But am intrigued by this one, having seen it on FB, so might try it. On advanced orders at the moment.

Is this a brand anyone’s heard of or is it a pal of our resident beauty expert for you. Remember the Fran Wilson sets of lipsticks at good prices? Oh well, good for a laugh I suppose.

Me neither

If I had an unlikely urge to blow £40 on a lipstick it would be stamped Dior or Saint-Laurent not code-8!

It is pretty in itself but it wouldn’t suit me either.

Ridiculous price, but what to do? Yes, they could stock decent mid range brands like Mac, a brand that everybody's heard of, but there's nothing Q can do to persuade people to buy it from them, cause there's better deals elsewhere. So bring out a "high end" brand that nobody's heard of, and isn't that widely available and there you go "The Marla Wynne effect".
Phase 8, White stuff, Joules etc can offer QVC "exclusive to Q garments" so customers think they're getting something special, otherwise why would anyone not go to these companies own websites or shops and get a better deal?

On the Code 8 show, which I dipped into, I think I heard them say that the £39.99 lipstick had been especially made for QVC. Says it all really.

Exclusive to QVC really makes you jump to those phones.

It comes with a matching lip liner

That looks like a completely different colour on each of the photos, Julia and models?!

It looks like hot pink/fuchsia on Ali, pale pink on Delina (sp?) and I could barely tell Julia had lippy on..?

Apparently code 8 is a lot of make up artists who got together and “curated” a collection...?!

In the tube this looks very very close to a shade I used to buy back in the day. It was a Boots No7 and cost about £3, when they used to have a massive range which covered the counter! And when they discontinued a colour, the staff had charts to tell you the closest available. Those were the days. No7 lipsticks are now £10 but no so many colours.
