Joan Collins make up

[Weathergirl]

Well Pick-a-Lily it's a chameleon shade. It looks much more of a pinky gold on the bullet but on my lips it looks more beige/pink/rusty colour. It's really unusual and I like it. Here's a pic of my kisser wearing it (taken in electric light). My skintone is fair/light with blonde hair and blue eyes. For some reason it is upside down.!

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

Thanks for that! It looks really nice. I'm looking forward to receiving it.

Does anyone know anything about the cruelty status of the brand?

 

[donna255]

If made in the EU they are not allow to test or send to others to test ingredients.

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

I noticed that it said on the JC website that items could not be shipped outside the UK, so hopefully that means they don't comply with foreign testing requirements?

I'm pretty sure it's made in Wales, a couple of years ago a friend of mine told me a colleague of hers has links with some sort of cosmetic manufacturing place in Wales and they were formulating Joan's make up there.

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

The contact details for the JC website are in Wales.

Is Peter no longer doing the makeup on her shows? There seemed to be a much younger guy on some of the videos. Shame because he was lovely with a real old-world charm to him.

Peter was on last weekend I love watching him and Joan together!

Joan + Peter = class act

Very pleased he's still doing the shows.

Has there ever been a TSV?

 

[donna255]

No. Perhaps they cannot supply enough stock needed for a TSV?

 

[Ellaaa]

It's only been on QVC for 1-2 years and it usually takes QVC a while before they decide to give a brand a TSV doesn't it. I can't see why there wouldn't be the demand as Joan's range gets excellent reviews. Perhaps it is a supply issue as Donna said.

Having said that, there are often kits with 4 or 5 items between £30-£35 and that's pretty much TSV-type value, they're always worth looking out for. They tend to sell out pretty quickly though, so again it may be a stock volume issue.

I had a quick look on ebay last night and there were a few JC make up items at silly prices: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/lotoonsfr2/_i.html?_nkw=joan&submit=Search&_sid=1336751994 A seller that allegedly takes the ebay order then buys from Amazon. Caveat emptor!

 

[donna255]

Look at the prices, they are having a laugh!

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

Nice easy money for someone! i suppose some people must fall for it, or they wouldn't do it.

 

[grovesy]

I though I was seeing things, god what expensive prices!

 

[Akimbo]

I try to avoid listings that rely on pictures copied from other sites; you can't be sure what's on offer is even in the seller's possession. It only takes a few seconds to take a photo and upload it!

That Joan Collins seller must attract a few buyers otherwise they wouldn't bother.

It`s obviously made in small quantities to a high standard but if it takes off, then what`s the betting it will be sold off to a big concern who will lower the quality. It will be sad if that happens. Smallish brands start off with much love and personal input but then sales balloon and before you know it, the original brand has been swallowed. Look at what`s happened with Laura Geller, Liz Earle, Mally and more.

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

It will be a great shame if that happens.
