Our Decleor Today’s Special Value with supersizes – Decleor use the purest ingredients to really nurture our skin and they are celebrating 40 years of excellence and with a fantastic TSV offer coming up on Sunday 13th August! It’s a five-piece collection for those of you who want to stock up on your essentials with something new and two, yes two supersizes!!

It’s a great collection for the face and body which will give you a great skincare routine for energising, perfecting and moisturising. The supersizes are only available at QVC.

The 400ml supersize Prolagene Gel is a multi-functional energising gel for the face and body for visible signs of firming and tightening – great for minimising large open pores.

There’s an exciting launch of 30ml Hydra Floral White Petal Skin Perfecting Concentrate for complexion smoothing and brightening, leaving the skin flawless.

The 50ml Hydra Floral Light Cream is our hero and most loved moisturiser. It was the first moisturiser I used when I came to QVC and it made me realise what a difference a good moisturiser can truly make to your skin.

Aromessence Neroli Balm 15ml is what Decleor do best – they really were ahead of the game. When they launched a balm for night time, we were all thinking – really? But it’s so beautiful and is one product from the range that I believe can transform your skin.

Aroma Cleanse Alguaromes Toning Bath & Shower Gel – my absolute favourite shower gel from the Decleor range. I Just adore the fragrance and the softness on the body, leaving no dryness. It’s unisex too, but don’t tell hubby!!

So I can’t wait for you to Join Fiona, training director for Decleor UK and I on the 13th August for a very exciting TSV at exceptional value.

Stay happy and healthy.

At long last – a leather hobo bag offer from Lulu Guinness!

I say ‘at long last’ as the hobo bag is my No.1 favourite style of handbag! It never dates and to use every day, it really is the perfect bag. I have a hobo style at home in my handbag collection and it’s the one I use the most.

Lulu Guinness is an incredible, quirky, fun and sophisticated designer who created her brand in 1989 and was awarded an OBE by the queen for her services to British fashion. Nothing is ever compromised with even the lining of every bag contrasting and designed to perfection. Lulu has some of her collectors pieces exhibited at the V&A museum. Pure creative genius! I love my accessories as they do the talking and it’s incredible how the chosen piece can create a second glance and become a real conversation piece.

This gorgeous bag is only available with us at QVC and when people ask why I love this design there really isn’t one answer but it’s down to the shape – it’s not too big or small, it goes over the shoulder with shirts and a jacket or coat. The leather in this style is really shown to its best with its sumptuous grainy, beautifully draped look and feel. I can put make-up, keys, diary, my mini Lulu Guinness umbrella and so much more when I am out and about during a busy day and it never looks bulky. It’s really important how a bag looks when you wear it. Hobo always looks stylish.

I have been dying for Lulu Guinness to bring out this style, so I am really excited to show you this beautiful TSV in five colours including Black, Burnt Orange, Black with White Lip Print, Latte (yes please!!) and the Black with a Red Lip Print. The zip pull is the iconic leather Lulu lip with antique gold detail and so much more!

Join myself and Nicola on Thursday 17th August. We don’t have a lot of pieces so make sure you don’t miss us at midnight of the 16th going into the 17th. Happy shopping all you gorgeous handbag lovers!

The king of sparkle and glamour is back!

Julien Macdonald OBE is gracing our screens tonight with a rather glamorous TSV. A humble Welsh fashion designer born in Merthyr Tydfil, Julien was taught to knit by his mother which sparked his interest in design. He then went on to study textiles at the Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Brighton before becoming a student at the Royal college of Art, where he gained a Master’s degree. Not long after graduating, Julien was recruited by Karl Lagerfield to work for Chanel and in 2001 he was named British fashion designer of the year.

In 2006, Julien was awarded an OBE by the Queen for his services to the fashion industry and many of you may remember him for his flamboyant appearance On Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 or for his judging role on Britain’s Next Top Model.

Julien is not only super talented but such a lovely, warm and funny guy – we hit it off immediately when we met for his QVC launch fashion runway show! Julien has brought a signature homeware range to QVC which has been a huge success, and on Wednesday we are bringing you a glamorous set of two mirrored candle holders in a choice of silver, black or rose gold (you can catch it early here!). Julien wanted to interpret the candelabra as a tealight/candle holder, and it can be used with three tealights or three candles.

See you at midnight tonight with Julien!

Love and Sparkle,

Lashes of lashes!

Revitalash is one of those Today’s Special Value offers I’m really looking forward to as it’s such a unique brand that focuses on many issues we all have with our lashes and brows and I get great results when I use it. My brows are fuller-looking and my eyelashes healthy and luscious looking.

We all want healthier looking eyelashes and eyebrows. Our eyebrows frame our face and  our eyelashes enhance the beauty of our eyes. Say goodbye to false eyelashes and extensions and hello to healthier ones thanks to Revitalash. It’s so easy to use with no fussy regime or technique which I love, and it slots into your skincare regime like a dream.

Use it every night on clean dry skin with a swipe of each across the brow and the lash line. Yep that’s it! So simple and let it be a treat for you whilst your sleeping. Natalie will be showing us live on air how to use it and of course revealing what incredible value we have for you on Friday 8th September.

See you for the launch on Thursday night at midnight!

I am actually referring to a beautiful, luxurious lightweight new Coconut Cleansing Oil called ‘Peace & Quiet’ which is included in this five-piece Today’s Special Value collection from Lulu’s Time Bomb launching with myself and Lulu at midnight on the eve of the 12th September.

It delicately removes make-up by melting all the dirt and grime away effortlessly, leaving the skin pristine clean, smooth and supple. A really exciting addition to the range and for all skin types. It contains a blend of grape seed, sunflower and safflower oils with coconut oil which is a powerful antioxidant. Use this at night as it removes eye make-up and use Take off Time Cleanser in the day to remove the dead skin cells.

The Smart Balm Eye Cream also features in the collection, plus Flashback Nightly Treatment, Complexion Cocktail with a shot of B12 and a Powerball Intensive Moisturiser. Wow! What a great collection including full sizes and the Powerball is a magnificent supersize.

The Skin Rich-ual collection is about focusing on a great skincare routine.

See you with Lulu on Tuesday 12th September at midnight!!

Lots of love

We all love a bit of sparkle coming up to the party season and our Diamonique Today’s Special Value offer is certainly getting us party ready and in the mood for my favourite time of year. We are hugely proud of Diamonique jewellery at QVC, our flagship brand that I think we have really perfected over the years and I still believe it is the finest simulation of diamonds money can buy.

Our TSV offer is a set of two solitaire earrings – leverback and stud designs in a choice of Rhodium, Rose Gold or Yellow Gold-plated sterling silver. Join myself and Alison O’Reilly at midnight on Wednesday 11th October for the launch of this beautiful gift from Diamonique. They are not only the perfect gift, but will take you to any event and if you are travelling they come with a great travel/gift storage box for your other pieces.

To add to your gorgeous glamour, Benefit is launching its five-piece Glam & Glow Collection on the eve (midnight) of Friday 13th October with myself and Lisa from Benefit. With many of its favourite pieces in this fabulous collection, from Roller Lash mascara, Sun Beam highlighter and Coralista blush to Gimme Brow tinted eyebrow gel and so much more to excite you. The only choice will be your colour of Gimme Brow in Light, Medium or Deep.

Roller Lash is literally like having rollers curl your lashes, with Gimme Brow being my hero from the range as it perfects the brow and covers those pesky grey brows sneaking through. Coralista is so easy to use as a quick colour on lips and cheeks and Sun Beam is actually the very first product I used from the range well before Benefit arrived at QVC. It’s the perfect highlighter that’s gives a sophisticated glow without sparkle. It also includes a gorgeous Double the Lip lipstick and liner and a make-up bag too! It’s a great collection to get you party ready or a fabulous gift for those loyal Benefit lovers amongst your family and friends.

Let the Christmas craziness begin and merrily embrace the love and sparkle along the way!

Lots of love and gorgeousness

… and it’s rather fabulous!

Make it a date.

Join myself and Keeley for the pre-launch at 10pm on the 11th November. Then we’ll be back for the launch at midnight of the 11th November into the 12th November. If you can’t wait until then, get your Elemis Christmas Today’s Special Value online now.

Every year we await the exciting news of what’s in the festive set, and it never disappoints. Search #GetGorgeousSkin to see all of the latest social media posts from QVC, Elemis, bloggers, vloggers and anyone who’s loving the offer.

The Gift of Gorgeous skin is a six-piece face and body collection – I think it’s their best yet! It’s only available with us at QVC and offers you a choice of two stunning fragrances. Exotic Blooms is an exciting global launch. It’s a modern, fruity floral, destined to be adored with its elegant aromatic.

My choice is the much-loved Skin Nourishing, with an updated, innovative formula which is a hug in a bottle and perfect on these cold days and nights drawing in.

Once you have made your choice, you’ll receive it in a beautiful pink or blue Christmas box, with an extra box in case you want to split the set up into gifts, for instance separating the hand wash and hand cream.  It’s a tough one and I feel multi-buying coming on, as it won’t be easy to part with any of it, I can tell you.

Once again, the value is exceptional and I know the QVC team work so hard on getting you all a great Christmas treat.

You will be delighted when you open your box as it showcases their award-wining Pro-Collagen Marine Cream in limited edition silver packaging. This Pro-Collagen Marine Cream has won the QVC UK Beauty Excellence Award’s Best Moisturiser six years in a row. Wow! That’s quite something, huh?

The Ultimate Cleansing Balm, Ginseng Toner, Shower Nectar, Hand Wash, and Hand and Nail Lotion is where your choice of Exotic Blooms or Skin Nourishing comes in. The box doesn’t actually tell you what’s in it, so you could swap a few things around (rather cheekily) if you wanted to.

What’s not to love?

See you on the 11th November,

Love, sparkle and #GetGorgeousSkin,

Life’s a beach #calm #beforethestorm #healthyliving

Gosh where has the year gone? I love this time of year with Halloween, bonfire night and then my favourite time of year is Christmas. But I do not enjoy the change of weather. I am truly a sun girl who loves nothing but shorts, bikinis and flip flops. The feeling of freedom on the body without layers of clothes and the warmth on your muscles and joints is the best feeling ever.

I decided to take a little break with hubby from the cold to some beautiful sunshine before the craziness of Christmas begins at the Q. Mind you, I never tire of Christmas at the Q and would have our beautiful Christmas trees in the studio all year round if I could. I’m sure I was meant to be Tinkerbell sitting on the top of the tree guarding its beauty.

We were so lucky with the weather as it was 89/92 degrees every day and the ocean is beautiful and calm this time of year on this side of the coast. Of course us girls never go lightly when it comes to toiletries and accessories. That’s not including the shoes with ‘just in case’ labels on them.

My Ruby Rocks sunglasses in Rose looked fab and I wore them every day out and about and on the beach and my Lola Rose tote was fantastic, light, roomy and stylish and perfect for all our beach and pool necessities.

I wore my Links of London earrings every day on the beach, by the pool and out in the evening. I was so glad I bought them (for a friend – lol!) then ended up ordering another pair to wear myself. Just the perfect size and they look effortlessly stylish.

My breakfast ritual is always a trip to my favourite organic health cafe for my delicious Green smoothie full of goddess goodness (spinach, banana, kale, mango, chia seeds and coconut water). It’s a super smoothie for your immune system, detoxifying and full of protein. Avocado on toasted spelt bread is one of my faves with mashed avocado, lemon, chilli, orange blossom and honey drizzle. I don’t normally drink coffee but they do the best organic raw latte with coconut milk. The cup was huge so sharing was allowed on this one.

I use Gatineau Tan Accelerator all summer which is the reason in just a week I had a beautiful glowing colour and with Ultrasun, my skin was well hydrated and protected. I love the SPF50 Anti Pigmentation for the Face and the SPF50 Extreme for the Body or the SPF50 Sport when I do my daily run on the beach whilst the dolphins swim by.

Another gem from Ultrasun I have discovered is the SPF30 for the eyes, which I use as my daily eye cream whilst away. The texture is beautiful. In or out of the sun my Ultrasun Lip Balm goes with me everywhere as it keeps my lips hydrated 24/7. My hair is always treated in Ultrasun Hair Protection and Elasticized every other day whilst away then back to my routine of twice a week when at home. Color Wow came with me in two small tubes that come with the Supersize and I would really struggle without it. My hair stays glossy, shiny and keeps the colour as if I just stepped out of the hairdressers. Even though I have fine hair my hair loves the normal to thick conditioner.

I love my Mally Volumising Mascara and Tarte mascara – Lights, Camera Lashes but the beauty team asked me to try out the Westmore Mascara and the Benefit Rollerlash Mascara. I have very sensitive eyes so I was a little nervous in the beginning. I used the Westmore in the day, on the beach, by the pool and when doing my morning run. What I loved about it was it created the look of wearing delicate false eyelashes that gave a good mascara coat at the base then fluttered out and is incredibly flattering. I wore it every day and have continued to use it in the day at home.

I used the Benefit Rollerlash when we went out for dinner in the evening and it gave me long fabulous lashes that looked natural with no clumping mascara. Using it over my Tarte primer was truly the wow effect and I have been wearing it on air since I have been back. You might want to also check out the Westmore camouflage which I launched recently and used all over my body in the tan option at my girlfriend’s wedding before I went away. My gosh she looked stunning and what a fabulous day. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Not a drop went onto my dress, I was so impressed and it never budged until I showered.

Now back with a bang, certainly a change in the weather but I can’t wait for Christmas, spending time at home with family and my beautiful handsome fella Mr B.

Love, health & happiness full of sparkle and laughter,

Jill Xxx

My Favourite TSV of the year!!

$

I am the Perricone Queen. This is the TSV of the year for me as I think I am Perricone’s number one fan. It’s the perfect way to try the range if you are new to it, with a Today’s Special Value price and insane value.

I go back to Perricone every time and some pieces I never stop using even though I get to try so many different skincare ranges from QVC. I have to keep something in my routine from the range as I see such a big difference in my skin when I don’t use it and I get the most comments when I do use it.

I think you can tell Perricone skin. It appears firmer, more refined and flawless. But it’s a very different way of treating the skin. Dr Perricone is a genius and it’s about layering with small potent amounts to get the best from the range and the results for your skin. Key is to not over use. There is always a treatment product that goes on as the middle layer.

Cold Plasma which took five years to develop is where it all begins after cleansing. Use day and night in a small amount. Then High Potency Amine Face lift (morning only as it’s high potency) which helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Included is their bestselling moisturiser Face Finishing Moisturiser plus firming Multi Tasking Eye Cream that promotes firmness and smoothness and finally my ultimate favourite No Foundation Foundation.

I wear this every day going into work or if I am popping out and want great-looking skin but not looking made up, and it’s great to build on if I want more coverage. It’s so unique but treats the skin at the same time – you feel a tingle from the treatments and for me if I don’t feel the tingle it isn’t challenging my skin as it gets older.

Try other pieces from their range too!! All on our website.

See you with Karra on Saturday 30th December.

Happy Christmas full of love and sparkle.

Living life to the full

This has always been my motto! If you don’t have your health what do you have? Health and wellbeing is so important in our lives, it allows us to love and live life to the very best we can. Life is no rehearsal, this is it!!

As many of you know I have always chosen to live my life extremely healthily, to me it’s a way of life and to be honest I really don’t know any different as it’s naturally a huge part of my life that I absolutely love.

I was thrilled when I was asked to write about our Today’s Special Value Prime Fifty Fighting Fatigue supplements coming up on Friday 5th January. I am 53 this July and I feel fantastic and so proud and to me it’s only a number and it’s how you feel inside and out that’s important. I feel better than I have ever felt. We deserve to feel good with this crazy life we all lead and so much is always going on.

Listen to your body and help yourself as no one can do it for you and only you know how you feel. Be kind to your body and it will be kind to you. We only have one and can’t pick and choose what we have but we can treat it with a lot of love and care as it needs us to make those healthy, nutritional decisions as it can’t do it alone.

Prime Fifty Fighting Fatigue is a 120-day supply of tablets dedicated to helping the over 50s stay active and healthy so you can enjoy life to the full. They are the only UK brand 100% dedicated to the nutritional and wellbeing needs of the over 50s, 60s, 70s etc.

Government food intake surveys show that over 50s are deficient in many crucial vitamins and minerals and other nutrients. It’s fact you are not going to get all from you need from one food alone. Missing nutrients can make you tired and give rise to chronic ailments and even disease later in life. I love Prime Fifty as it’s a targeted supplement, not a ‘one size fits all’ multivitamin. It contains a healthy ageing blend supporting other relevant health areas. Think about this, to stay active as we age it’s really important to help maintain our health but you also need to maintain your energy levels too to be active.

I can’t wait to tell you more on January 5th at 10pm!

Stay happy and healthy always

An SBC offer and a new foundation that’s far from ordinary!

$

Before my new discovery, here’s a sneak preview of our SBC Today’s Special Value offer coming up on the Wednesday 14th February. There are two choices in our three-piece Bath and Body Favourites with beautiful lightweight formulas that easily absorb into the skin, with nature’s finest ingredients that are perfect for all the family in these generous sizes. Here’s what’s included:

Propolis option:

500ml Propolis Skincare Gel – enough to immerse yourself in, with natural propolis which derives from the beehive. A rather luxurious mask which wan be used as an intensive treatment.

500ml Propolis & Safflower Body Milk Lotion – if your skin is dehydrated and stressed the new propolis body spray milk is great. Rich in propolis extract, safflower seed oil and vitamin E – it will be a treat your skin is craving for.

1 litre Propolis Bath & Shower Gel – will help cleanse and calm the skin whilst being full of vitamins, minerals and propolis from the beehive.

Collagen option:

500ml Collagen Skincare Gel – for the face and body to help with the appearance of fine lines and a great face mask too, so cooling.

1 litre Collagen Bath & Shower Crème – a rich and luxurious elixir that really cares for the skin.

450g Collagen Body Polish – gently polishes the skin. With rich marine collagen and vitamin E.

There is nothing ‘ordinary ‘ about this foundation. I have very sensitive skin so trying something new has to be tested in a small area first. I have always loved and been loyal to No Foundation Foundation by Perricone and it is my number one foundation for the day and when I’m off work and it’s magical on holiday. I’ve loved it from the day Kara Beck introduced it to me and don’t think I’ll ever give it up because it gives a beautiful glow on the skin and has great skincare benefits. If I need more coverage when I’m in the studio my skin enjoys Bareminerals Complexion Rescue. I don’t really go any heavier in coverage than this but my skin loves it and I get so many comments.

Recently I discovered The Ordinary Foundation Serum whilst presenting the Deciem TSV with the company CEO Nicola, a beautiful ray of sunshine we all need in our lives. I was very impressed. It leaves the skin dewy and glowing and is chasing the tail of No Foundation Foundation. Looks like I have another choice in my make-up bag.

Stay happy and healthy and see you on the 14th Feb for the SBC launch!

Our first necklace TSV offer by Lola Rose!

I have been a Lola girl long before it arrived at QVC. My girlfriend bought me a piece for my birthday from Fenwick’s of London when Nikki’s pieces first came on the scene and Lola Rose then was only available in a few places. Of course my necklace was a heart and it tied beautifully with suede and became an iconic piece and was often spotted on one of our Royals many years later.

Lola Rose has now become a global brand which all started from Nikki’s kitchen table, hand-making pieces after she received a 30th birthday gift of jewellery from a girlfriend which changed her life as she believed she could make these prices herself and then started secretly giving them as gifts to her girlfriends not knowing she made them. Nikki received an MBE in 2015 which of course we all had to celebrate.

What an incredible achievement for a girl who really thought she had lost her way in life had now certainly found her future! Lola Rose has that instantly recognisable chic, feminine, distinctive Lola look we have all fallen in love with, which brings me onto our first Lola Rose necklace Today’s Special Value offer coming up on Tuesday 27th February. It’s a beautiful Bella 150cm semi-precious piece that comes in Navy mix , Mookite mix, Rose mix, White mix and Ice Blue mix.

You may want to add a great layering piece and try the Letitia 56cm semi-precious necklace which comes in the same colours as the TSV or try the Nova semi-precious bracelet.

It’s been a long time coming I know and  due to the amount of messages I get asking what I use on my hair I thought I would write to you over two blogs. My hair routine is in fact practically fuss-free and with great results…

My shampoo and conditioner is from Color Wow. My fine hair loves the gel shampoo texture of which I use two or three pumps each wash. Surprisingly I use the normal to thick conditioner and again three or four pumps . For me a great shampoo and conditioner is where it all starts. Using luke-warm water I massage the shampoo into the palm of my hands before I put it in my hair so it’s not just sitting in my scalp. I massage the conditioner into the ends and mid length to get as much conditioner into this area as possible. I rinse with cool water to create the extra gloss and shine.

I use a Tangle Teezer to comb through my damp hair. I do it very  gently so as not to break the hair, but first I use a few spritzes of Daily Damage & Defence by Philip Kingsley to give my hair strength and to help detangle. It’s known as Elastisizer  in a bottle. My hair loves oils and after combing through I use three pumps of either Liz Earle Hair Oil or Living Proof Hair Oil. Both are superb and they don’t leave the hair looking flat or feeling greasy. I push it into and through my hair with my palms flat and the ends of my hair with my fingertips.

Now it’s ready to rough dry with the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer. As I am only rough drying and not styling with  the hairdryer you can use a hairdryer that works for you or try the Babyliss Smooth Vibrancy hairdryer, but the Dyson is super quick cutting down my drying time. I then add a few more drops of oil to the slightly frizzy sections and then I’m ready to style with my Babyliss Big Barrel Hot Brush which creates my style so quickly leaving me with smooth glossy waves. It’s the best hairstyler I have ever used.

On my next blog I’ll let you into the easy maintenance secrets of my glossy hair and how I treat it and keep it full of volume and strength.

Happy hair days!

Maintaining my hair I think is what makes a huge difference to it looking good or unkempt. Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer has been part of my routine for many years and if I don’t use it I regret it and my hair truly suffers. It doesn’t just make a small difference for me, it’s the difference between hair that has life, shine and volume after just one treatment to hair that can look dull, lifeless and dry. I use it up to three times a week and often sleep in it or leave it in all day, but of course you can leave it in for just a few hours. Don’t forget to use it whilst on holiday too if you can, as the sun can truly damage your hair in just a two week holiday.

Every six weeks I use the Hairfix Cleansing Conditioner. It’s superb and brings your hair back to life as it cleans away all the build-up. Ensure you read the instructions before use as it’s an unusual texture and you need to be specific on how it’s used. If you have your hair coloured, use this the night before and you won’t believe how your colour will look even better after it’s done.

I have always been a fan of the next two products. Firstly, Viviscal. I have invested in Viviscal since it was launched at QVC and helps to maintain the volume in my hair, and this is what I get a lot of wonderful comments about. It’s easy to take and just two a day does the trick, but you need to stick with it and be committed to see results as you’re not going to see a difference in just a few weeks. I think it’s worth the investment as our hair is our crowning glory and when we get older we are precious about every hair as it tends to get thinner and finer.

The Hairfix Follicle Plus Anti Age Haircare is a product I tried when it launched at QVC purely because I was skeptical and had to see it to believe it. I cannot rave about it enough. It sits by my bathroom sink and is used religiously every other night. I have the routine down to a tee, and it only takes me minutes to apply. I found the results astounding and it definitely gave me the results of thicker fuller looking hair around the hairline, widow’s peak and on the crown of the head. Those key areas where we start to see a change in as we get older. A small amount goes a long way too, so don’t over use it as its very tempting to in this 100ml size. Share it with the guys too. Just massage it into the areas of concern with your fingertips – great, easy, quick application. I apply it before I go to bed and wash it out the next day.

Finally, for those pesky grey hairs coming through Color Wow Root Cover Up is superb. I use the Platinum colour and it covers grey hair brilliantly and only comes out when you wash your hair with shampoo, so no rainy day disasters. The choice of colours is superb and it’s so easy to apply with no mess and it looks just like an eyeshadow. Just be brave and get stuck in as there’s no real technique. It’s perfect if you tie your hair back but tend not to when your colour needs doing as your hairline is showing too much grey. Tie your hair back and just apply it around the hair line. It will also get you more time away from the hairdressers and save you money on those regular visits to get your colour done.

Finally, good nutrition is a huge part of healthy, shiny hair, so ensure you eat well with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Here’s to great hair in 2018! Happy hair days!

Lots of love

Perricone fans – it’s arrived!

The Perricone Five-piece Ultimate Heroes Collection…

As in my last Perricone TSV blog, it’s one that I get truly excited about. I was introduced to Perricone by our wonderful guest Karra Beck who was adamant I would love it, even though I was concerned about my sensitive skin. But she was right and many products from the range are still my core skincare products today and if I try something new from another QVC skincare range it has to give me great results to give up some of my Perricone favourites.

Our Today’s Special Value offer is an incredible opportunity to invest in your skin with a premium anti-ageing skincare range at a truly superb price, so invest twice if you can and you’re sorted for the year huh!! Don’t expect spa fragrances when you open the pots. This is serious skincare that if used to challenge your skin will help with the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles and help to see a difference with the skin’s texture and firmness. A tip to begin with is to use a small amount, less than what you would use from your normal moisturiser as it’s potent and a small amount goes a very long way you will discover.

It’s an incredible collection and crazy crazy value for a complete day and night collection. Your TSV includes all full sizes of hard working, hero products from Perricone:

Nutritive Cleanser is a gel cleanser that can be used in the shower to help thoroughly remove make-up. I prefer it in the shower in the morning.

Cold Plasma Eye is new and Dr. Perricone is famous for his Cold Plasma range and this product has been created due to the success of this range. It helps to target under-eye wrinkles, dark circles, fine lines and puffiness – all our eye concerns. I haven’t tried this yet but I’m very excited to see the results as I love Cold Plasma for the face, under moisturiser and the Sub D Cold Plasma is truly results driven with incredible reviews and yes you get a full size of Cold Plasma Sub D in the collection. Try and look at the results and reviews on this neck product – customers love it! I use this at night and Lulu’s Time Bomb Trouble Shooter Neck Cream in the day. The Sub D has an unusual texture but don’t let that put you off, just think of the results.

Face Finishing has a beautiful texture and I love the tingle you get when it’s applied and don’t let that put you off – I feel it’s really working when I feel the tingle.

Neuropeptide Night Cream – oh my I just cannot give this up and I literally have to hide this from hubby. I treasure every drop as yes it’s expensive on its own so I always wait for a TSV. I use a tiny, tiny amount. It’s rich and luxurious and I think worth every penny. The hydration results when you wake up in the morning are glowing. I try other night creams from other brands and enjoy them and get good results but I always come back to this.

We only have one skin and we can’t choose which skin we would like huh! Our body and neck we can cover to a degree but our face is on show all the time and getting everything thrown at it daily. I think we owe it to our skin to look after it the best we possibly can.

The beauty of QVC with this kind of investment (which is not an impulse buy – we all need to think carefully before we part with our hard earned pennies) is our 30 day money-back guarantee to see what all the fuss is about. Remember you won’t see a difference in just one day. Challenge your skin, use it regularly to see if you get those results that Perricone is so famous for.

Join myself and Karra on Tuesday 27th March at 10pm for the final presentation of this great Today’s Special Value!

Here’s to great skin – let the challenge begin!
