who has influenced you the most on QVCich presenter

[sscrett]

of ALL the presenters on Q, who has influenced you the most?
for me, it is alison young.
she really has educated me on matters of skin care.
i feel that i now know so much about my skin, that i can open my own salon for me!!!!!:32::1:

alison young inpaticularlyabout l'occitane. when i went to the shops to smell the products i was smitten. plus the fact it is so affordable on qvc i am hooked.

susie adams northern night. even though i am not convinced it is as luxurious as qvc say i have a down duvet and i can say that the difference is amazing with the weight in relation to a feather duvet and a polyseter one.for the bedding to be as luxurious as the high street the fabric would wash better,be a heavier weight and not crease like billyho

Agree with Alison Young. Much as i find her irritating, she is very informative.
Powers of persuasion, i would say Pippa or Sara as they seem to have similar tastes to me in jewellery, clothes etc

 

[Lemonsqueezy]

Alison Young...through her inane wittering and raving,she has managed to convince me that there is no miracle cure for anything via a pot of cream, and my hard earned cash is better spent elsewhere!!!
How can a true "beauty expert" love and endorse every product?

Hiya sscrett - nice to see you again :62:

And definitely Alison Young for me too. No-one else comes anywhere close

 

[Judith]

Another vote for Alison Young.
However,after watching QVC for a few years and trying different brands I think you become more discerning and choose the items that suit you and are no longer influenced by AY's recommendations.

 

[sscrett]

hiya,
thanks beauty.
just getting ready to go off on my travels again at the weekend.

 

[Julie]

I am proud to report none of them have ever influenced me.

I agree with you I can make my own decisions without being influenced by someone who says every product sold on QVC is the best and a must have. What rubbish.

 

[Polly Esther]

Alison Young has probably been responsible for introducing me to brands like L'Occitane and Bare Escentuals, but I wouldn't say she influences me, as like others have said, you couldn't possibly believe her endorsement of every product.

I do quite admire Pipa's style, but again, I don't think I'm particularly influenced by any of them - I'm too "me"!!

 

[sscrett]

influence is not the issue.
i am speaking from the perspective of 'beauty education'. lol:53:

 

[Polly Esther]

To be honest I don't feel Alison "educates". As far as I can see, she is there to flog whatever she's given and most people seem to be getting wise to that now.

I thought the title of this thread was 'Who has influenced you the most on QVC'. I based my answer on the question.

 

[Just Beauty Direct]

I suppose my reason for going for Alison is that she presents the new beauty shows - and I find that informative and interesting.

 

[sscrett]

true, she has however, 'opened my eyes' to my own 'skincare regime.'

 

[sscrett]

you are absolutely right of course, you clever you!:32:

 

[livelovelaugh]

despite all the negatives, for me, it is allison...i think i can forgive her most things as i can see that she is basically a very insecure woman and that insecurity is something that i can relate to - although i am not as bad as i could be, i will quite easily spend ridiculous amounts of money on products that i think are miracles in jars. i think i have a combination of pity, sympathy and empathy for her, and although i will sometimes get very hacked off when she is a little less than honest, she is the reason i started shopping with qvc and continue to do so (even if i now buy a fraction of the amount!)

 

[rosey]

I don't think that any qvc presenter would influence me - they are all salespeople just trying to sell whatever product they are presenting at the time.

I agree I have picked up tips from AY and enjoy watching to learn beauty tricks- but I wouldn't say that she has 'influenced' me.
:r2:

 

[donna255]

When I first started watching QVC back in 1997, it was AY. But as time has passed I have come to realize she is a sales woman and only recommends products which QVC sell. Now she more a celeb name dropper than anything else. With the idea if we here so and so uses this we will of course buy it. :20:
Its got so old now, we hardly get any info about the actual products and how to use them.

 

[iamasmall]

Julia roberts, because despite the 'small' thing, i truly believe that she shows that true beauty is a smiling face and being approachable.

luv jr for that

also pippa for well, just being pippa and a bit 'quirky'
