Social Media - That was an eyeopener

[shopperholic]

QVC can split hairs here - because they contract it out to an agency. So strictly speaking it's true that QVC themselves do not carry out credit checks then! More weaselly words, like their "exclusive" products... we always need to read the small print with QVC it seems. whatever the topic.

QVCs finance department also do credit checks, have done for a long time.

 

[ERICS MUM]

So, credit checks when they say they don’t run them. Not refunding postage when items are returned under DSR or its current equiv.

What’s next ? I wager a biggie will surface soon.

Well, we have had meat gate, Xmas hamper gate that two years in a row. I bet there will be people asking when they will start selling them this year? Oh, and years back the son of the owner of QVC done for selling weight loss sweets that did not work and he went to jail if I remember?

I think we are due to have a sex scandal. Or the clothes they sell made by child labour.

Ali Young on air tells us all that we need creams, lotions and potions for every part of our face and body and yet read this article and she tells people the opposite. Goes to show she`s nothing but a sales person for Q and how double standards are the norm.

What an absolute hypocrite AY is, so buying specialised creams are a waste of money? Honestly you couldn’t make it up.

I don’t mind AY, but she has made a big mistake doing that article because yes, it makes her selly telly appearances pure hypocrisy with a capital H. What on earth possessed her? How can she now appear with Andrew B extolling the virtues of Strategie Jeunesse at £30 odd, or with Keeley telling us how we must have the new Elemis eye serum and cream duo at £40. Pity we don’t have live callers to the shows so we could call in “with a question about using the product” and then say, “Ah, but on 5th September in the national press you said we don’t need a specific eye/neck cream so shall we save our money as you recommended?”.

What on earth possessed her? Well, firstly I think quite a few presenters are just plain stupid. Then, they are so hungry to be celebs that they forget that people are observant and respect people with principles. Alison in her deluded world may have thought this was an opportunity for a regular newspaper column for when her time at the Q ends. They think that they can say any old rubbish and no one will notice because they are so girly and cute.

 

[MrMarple]

And they've either used a very old photo of her or they've photoshopped it to within an inch of its life, because there's no way on earth she's looked like that for at least 10 years.

To be honest I’ve never liked her as I don’t anyone who takes advantage of people, and always seen her as a beauty presenter, in the real world of “beauty” she’d have perfect teeth, as harsh as that sounds, it’s true, that’s what it’s all about, people striving to be as beautiful as the people in the industry. I just hope she gets called out on it now, for the fraud she is on QVC. :mysmilie_3:

I absolutely agree with everything you’ve said Evie, I feel embarrassed for the resident “qualified” beauty presenter, that’s probably why you’ve never seen one single certified proof, it’s because she hasn’t got any, oh the shame of it. :mysmilie_17:

And they've either used a very old photo of her or they've photoshopped it to within an inch of its life, because there's no way on earth she's looked like that for at least 10 years.

Most definitely shopped within an inch of its life, including the teeth. :mysmilie_3:

I don’t disagree. It was a rhetorical question.

 

[donna255]

That is a really old photo of AY way over 10 years.

She was no doubt paid for the article as she is paid on QVC. Okay, Alison, we want you to do an article(sell something if on QVC), for our beauty page. She goes no problem here is my bank account just deposit the money.

The photo is not old, it is from a magazine/newspaper article earlier this year, Sarah Chapman, Jo Malone, Hannah Martin, Thea Green and various others were in it too.

 

[Evie]

It might not be old but nowadays technology can work wonders with any photo. I have a couple of friends in their early fifties who show me holiday snaps and I don’t recognise the thirty year old looking back at me!

 

[donna255]

WOW!! It is very heavily photoshopped! Her teeth are nothing like that when she is on live TV for a start.

Well Donna there was the couple caught having sex in a pod in Chiswick Park :mysmilie_466:

What must QVC think,can't reflect well on them.

I like the fact that she's described as London beauty expert, as though she runs a salon on the HIGH STREET. I did find her tip of applying a normal moisturiser, waiting 20 minutes, then putting more on the eye area very strange & I'm sure if I did that my eyes would puff up. However, it was the following that contradicts all that gets spouted during these beauty hours: "...just want cushioned, healthy-looking skin, you can get that from a good basic moisturiser". Love that word basic.

 

[alter ego]

Definitely - you can normally see her shine from space. Not to mention she looks like she's put her teeth in in that pic!

Alison Young Beauty Tips - Many products are a waste of money!

Just read article on Mail Online App with beauty tips from Alison Young, this is the first tip

Alison explained that buying products for specific zones and times of day are a waste of money.

'People are so quick to believe that they need a new, specific product for every area on their face and for different times of the day, but you can get good results using your existing products,' she said.

'For example, you can (and should!) use your favourite serum or facial oil on your neck and chest area to keep the skin supple and hydrated without a specific neck cream.'

Products for specific zones and times of day? Does she mean the eye creams, neck creams and night creams she raves about and tries to flog us!!?. There are comments under the article calling her a hypocrite and wondering what the bosses at QVC would think about it :wonder:
