Flora Mare Maritime Skincare TSV 14/03/16

[AndiK]

QVC do make me laugh - this is the equivalent of the people emailing an office in Wales requesting an english road sign be translated into welsh... they got a welsh out of office message and painted that on the road.

Inter alia means "among other things" and is primarily these days used as a legal term. QVC clearly think it's an ingredient. :mysmilie_17:

I'm looking forward to trying the new serum containing quid pro quo and ad infinitum.

Well, they've already mastered caveat emptor and especially ad nauseam

And they are constantly stressing that we need to carpe diem in a variety of ways... no exact latin translation for "jump to the phones"

Channel hopped to have a nose and didn't even know the guy was there, just AY gabbing away then whoa he appears, before I hopped back just caught him cringing at AY interpretation of Flora Mare, even though he was saying Flora Mar-a she didn't take the hint, still insists on calling it Flora Mer-a..........oh well it is QVC after all, were presenters can say and do what they want.

I thought maybe Axel's drag persona is called Flora Mary? :mysmilie_12:

Yes, not content with just re-naming all the colours of fashion items, QVC are now giving the products new names. There was probably a meeting...

Behind-the-Scenes Flunkie: "What are we calling this range?"

Jemima in Sales: "Well, the German brand creators call it Flora Mar-a."

Producer 1: "What do they know? That Axel calls a TSV a Tee Ess Wee!"

Producer 2: "OK, how about we call it Flora Mar-ee."

Producer 3: "I was thinking Flora Mar-ah."

Work Placement Kid with GCSE Latin: "Shouldn't it be Flora Mar-ay?"

Jill Franks: "I'm calling it Flora Mare because I like horses...." (she did actually keep saying "Mare" doing last year's TSV)

Claire Sutton: "Can I call it Flor-wee Wor-wee Poos?"

Head of Sales: "OK, let's have every presenter pronounce it differently and maybe the customers will think they are all different face creams and buy 'one of each'."

Catherine Huntley: "Great, so I won't have to learn anything because I'm a bit ditsy and I'll forget."

Charlie Brooks: "Can I eat it, by the way?"

Well I was all prepared, pennies in hand to venture, even temporarily from Liz Earle my brand of choice for twenty years to try Flora Mare when my 6 year old decided to split his school shoes requiring another £34 outlay in Clarks - guess who misses out?! Ffs!

Excellently put. :clapping:

I have seen this a couple of times but never tried it. So of course I just got sucked in!!!! I only caught the last few seconds of him on with AY so will have to record the next show to find out what I am getting and what the shelf life, or bottom of stash life, is. :mysmilie_14: A lot of product though and I did miss some recent Gatineau and Elemis.....

It's not a nail file! It is a plastic thingy to scoop the face cream!!

If you can bear to look at the blogs, there is a great picture of this TSV on Charlie Brook's blog this week. It's also on Debbie's blog...

It contains the Ocean Elixir 50ml, Day and Night Cream (1 tub) 100ml, Eye cream, Hand cream and a nail file

Interesting design for a spatula.

 

[Weathergirl]

Oh wow! My TSV arrived today and my skin absolutely loves this. So soft and smooth. A few hours will tell if any sensitivity. So comfortable on the skin.

 

[Mazza]

Sounds good. I was tracking mine and after Manifest to Courier it moved to Returned to Sender. Boo hoo!!!! I guess it got mangled up somehow. Anyway it hasn't sold out so the nice CS guy has put through a replacement straight away. Fortunately there was no wait until we get it back/ we will send you a form palaver as he could read the screen.

 

[Mazza]

Well credit where credit is due. My replacement came today before the expiry of the first one's 5 WD on the 21st. Now going to the bottom of the stash to surface again in about 12 months, lol.

Well I am sad to say that despite my skin loving the feel of this brand my eyes are irritated by the eye cream and after 3 days use I have blotches on my cheeks so have to return it. Can't do with irritated eyes

The moisturiser has a feint scent and has parfum on the ingredients list. The eye cream says fragrance free.
