I agree. I have tried Gatineau TSV's in the past but was never impressed with anything except the floracil, and even that does not remove waterproof mascara but is amazing at removing any other eye makeup. What I dont understand is how they can harp on about the product costing such and such normally. I for one have never seen the prices being as high as claimed elsewhere, you cant find the brand in many places and my floracil large size is always cheaper on Feelunique with postage included! They try and say that because QVC charge a certain price for a product on its own then its a bargain in the TSV. No luv, you are overcharging on the first place. Not all brands on Q are guilty of this, you CAN get some genuine bargaing on brands like Liz Earle, l'occitaine, Bare Minerals and Elemis, especially in the TSV's. This is because there are other places you can buy it and there is genuine competition. Not with Gatineau. Hate to say it but same with Laura Geller, a brand I love. Its exclusivity to QVC in the UK can sadly mean (ebay aside) that Q can charge pretty much what they like and artificially inflate the price to make the TSV's look like a true bargain, when truth be told they are probably still way overpriced and QVC are making a huge profit.
I find Debbie Flint's hard sell too much to take too. If I bought my mum or friend the TSV, they would never have heard of the brand!
