The silhouette of a Buddha is a universal symbol for enlightenment. I love to harmonise my home with my own space that creates some me time. We all need that peaceful corner to evoke a sense of calm, even if it’s just for five minutes, I believe it makes a huge impact on how you feel. After all, our home is our sanctuary. There have been many changes over the last few years, and one we are seeing is people moving home or making big changes in their lives. What a great gift for someone you know who has possibly made one of these changes.

Here are a few ideas on where you may like to place your Buddha.

• Position facing your entrance, on a taller cabinet to welcome your guests
• Place outwards in a quiet reading corner of the room
• In your garden, to create a tranquil space near a flowering plant or near a water feature in your garden
• Style minimally with possibly a few Kelly Hoppen candies or your own
• Avoid a bathroom or above a toilet, as you don’t want to be flushing away your calmness

It’s a beautiful piece showing every feature of a beautiful poised Buddha. Join myself and Kelly for the launch at 9pm on 07th July.

Love, calm and peace.

The post Creating peace and Zen in your home appeared first on Stories.

Join myself and Caroline Archer at 9pm Saturday 9th July for the Superskin Smooth and Firm edit, a Today’s Special Value offer from Liz Earle. They’re renowned for using naturally active ingredients, giving you the Liz Earle glow for all ages and skin types. With four full-size facial formulas and something new… it’s not to be missed.

We’re so lucky to be launching the NEW smoothing and very satisfying Microdermabrasion Polish to gently buff away those dead skin cells. It has refined particles of natural pumice to do the job for you. The brand is confident that your skin will feel smoother and more polished, and you’ll be on your way to that wonderful glow. Just gently massage a small amount onto damp skin, and if you have the time leave it on for five minutes before you rinse off with warm water.

Cleanse & Polish and Instant Boost Tonic were the first two products in the Liz Earle range. The legendary Cleanse & Polish is where the deep cleansing begins, and it’s used by millions around the world. Its creamy texture helps to soften and purify the skin whilst cleansing. Let’s face it, who doesn’t love Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser? I’ve seen it in many a make-up artist’s kit and in presenters’ cleansing routines. It’s so thorough and even removes the most stubborn of all stubborn eye make-up. And it’s perfect for sensitive eyes too.

It can be used by all skin types and ages and it’s a great way to get teenagers cleansing and then toning, with the iconic Instant Boost Tonic, which hydrates skin to get it ready for your moisturiser. We mustn’t forget how important toning is to the PH balance of your skin. Try missing it out for a few weeks and you’ll soon be back toning, missing that super-hydrated feel of uplifting blends of comforting and hydrating essential oils. I love the way it’s all secure in the twist cap so if we knock it over, we don’t lose half a bottle.

To complete your skincare routine, you have a choice of Liz Earle’s bestselling Intensely Nourishing Superskin Moisturiser. If you aren’t sure which one to go for, join myself and Caroline. She’ll be taking you through your routine so that you make the right choice for your skin, between either Original, which is unfragranced, or Neroli, my personal favourite – never say never to Neroli is my motto. It’s packed with powerful plant ingredients, offering 72 hours of hydration.

This collection is only available at QVC… oh, and we love a bag. It will arrive with a cute stylish vanity bag for home or away! With all my love, happiness and that gift of glowing skin. Happy shopping and see you on the 9th with our delightful brand ambassador Caroline Archer.

The post The great gift of good skin… appeared first on Stories.

The formulations are created by world-renowned dermatologist and nutritionist Dr Nick Perricone. This scientifically formulated skincare range features innovative treatments to help target the visible signs of ageing… it’s serious skincare – don’t expect wonderful pampery fragrances – expect results and more results. I’ve used Perricone as my core skincare since it was launched at QVC. I love the unusual concept but mostly the results and the comments of confidence I receive. I can always tell a Perricone skin.

What do you get? I hear you cry. A full routine to get you set up and ready to go on your Perricone skincare journey.

Vitamin C Ester Daily Brightening & Exfoliating Peel 

This is new to QVC, and I literally ripped the box open to give it a try. It gives you that boost of radiance with love and the appearance of the Perricone glow. I love the fact you don’t have to remove it;  you just add your face-firming moisturiser over the top.

Cold Plasma Plus Sub D Neck

Not to be put aside, the sub–D is an incredible formulation for the neck. I’ve used this since it was launched and it’s a very quick step. If you have neglected your neck or you’re not getting results with what you are currently using, then it’s never too late to change or start, and it’s well worth those extra two minutes of application.

Vitamin C Ester Brightening Cleanser

Great to use every day or as a quick shower cleanser. It’s more than Vitamin C , it’s Vitamin C Ester. A quick and easy formulation with a light texture. Men love it too, in fact men love the whole range…

Neuropeptide Hero Firming Moisturiser

A perfect match to the night cream . This collection brings you a whole routine. This moisturiser, like the Perricone range, will not only challenge your skin, but give you the appearance of tighter, firmer-looking skin.

Neuropeptide hero Night Cream 

Where do I begin? I can’t imagine ever leaving  this incredible moisturiser out of my skincare routine. I’m a little obsessed – once I discovered this and the results I was blown away. A little, and I mean a little, goes a long way, so please don’t overuse it as you won’t get any better results. The texture is simply divine but it’s all about the results with Perricone. This moisturiser has stood the test of time and never disappoints or lets my skin down. I always hope it’s in our Perricone Today’s Special Value offers, so I was delighted when I dived into the collection and it was there alongside the other four pieces.

Bringing Perricone Today’s Special Value offers to QVC allows us to afford such an incredible, results -driven range. This would be untouchable outside of QVC… our saving and price is magnificent.

See you tonight at 9pm to find out all about this superb Perricone offer. I think I’m more excited than you !

Much love, sparkle and happiness.

Help save your neck with some Prai pampering

Prai are known for being the connoisseurs of neck and decollete treatments. Our Today’s Special Value is launching live with myself and the founder Cathy Kangas. We’re bringing you an intensive duo of her two beloved heroes from the Prai range.

Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme is the star of the range that everyone talks about. It’s been around over a decade and is revolutionary with a hero status, working hard for your neck with ingredients such as shea butter and hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, E and so many more. Enjoy, indulge and you’ll start to see the results right in front of your own eyes. It is known as the must-have neck treatment with its Sepilift technology. Just simply slot into your morning and night beauty regime.

Ageless Jawline Uplift Serum is straight from the source in a luxurious exotic formula, used for centuries in traditional Thai beauty regimes. The oil is a signature ingredient right at the very core of the Prai range. You’ll fall in love with this serum once you’ve experienced it, and I’m sure it’ll become part of your essential duo with the neck and decolletage creme.

Presented in beautiful faux pearl packaging, this duo will help define your neck and decollete and help you feel ageless and more confident, especially when you want to show of all your beautiful jewellery from your precious QVC collections. The neck is one of the most obvious signs of ageing. We can’t stop the clock, but let’s try and help slow it down with this special duo. Oh, I know you’ll love it, so consider the Auto Delivery option too!

Discovering Age Benefit is a blessing for your skin… 

We also have a fantastic Today’s Special Value coming on the 19th June. It’s from Gatineau, and it’s arriving at just the perfect time…

Our four-piece collection includes:

• Age Benefit youth Revitalising Oil Serum (30ml)
• New Collagen Hydrating Essence (120ml)
• New Size Age Benefit Cream (75ml)
• Perfection Ultime Miracle Eye Contour (11ml)

If you haven’t yet discovered Age Benefit, I really want your skin to experience the texture and most of all the results. It has made such a difference to millions of people’s skin, including mine.

On a personal note, the pigmentation difference is what makes  me use Age benefit during the summertime, or if I’m on holiday. The texture is simply sumptuous with a whipped feel. So, you have a great opportunity to try the NEW size Age Benefit cream in 75ml. The Age Benefit Youth Revitalising Oil Serum just adds to this wonderful experience for your skin.

Add to that, from the Gatineau range, the NEW Collagen Hydrating Essence. Super hydration is what our skin needs this time of the year. Finally, to complete the perfect set, Gatineau have added the Perfection Ultime Miracle Eye Contour. Andrew Bagley and myself will be launching this wonderful collection, available at a superb price. See you there…

A little bit of luxury I can’t part with…

Where do I start? I honestly didn’t expect to fall in love with this Silk Pillowcase from Northern Nights, so I wanted to find out more about it and share my love for it with you. Honestly, on my first night’s sleep I was like, where have you been all my life? And why have I never tried a silk pillowcase before?

It is made from 100% mulberry silk, of natural cellular fibre and in a standard size. It’s so gentle and cool to sleep on, containing natural proteins. The silk is woven tightly, reducing excessive frictions which can cause hair breakage. What’s more, silk doesn’t conduct static electricity, so it’ll keep your hair soft and prevent static and tangled hair in the morning. Silk is also hypoallergenic and breathable!

It’s different from sleeping on a satin pillowcase, and the two main things I noticed was how lovely and cool it was, and mainly no tangled hair (as I have fine hair). Plus, no heavy wrinkles or marks from sleeping. I’ve bought a few ahead for gifts, as our price is so good and I was comparing silk pillowcases prices. It’s a keeper… and remember, a little bit of luxury goes a long way. Enjoy the experience and I don’t think you’ll look back.

Muck love and luxury,

Jill xx

The post Great deals to show you! appeared first on Stories.

Unwanted hair is not only annoying, but it also can also come with a lack of confidence on occasion, and it’s always where we don’t want it. Only YOU know what treatment you’re doing in your own home, and the delivery box from QVC is discreet, not lit up with big letters saying ‘FOR UNWANTED HAIR’.

The simple part is that the tool is rechargeable (takes eight hours to charge and treats for 80 minutes), and it’s cordless, with a large tip for larger areas like peach fuzz, and a precision tip for eyebrows, ear and nose hair. It’s double ended too, so only one tool is needed. You have a choice of six colours options, with a USB charge cable included.

It’s often the simplest, most effective tools with great Today’s Special Value prices that are the best. I can’t wait to show you the results with Lorna Ko on our first live presentation. Happy shopping and, oh, I couldn’t resist: our Neom Big Deal in Blush and Black!

What have you been shopping for recently?

The post Simply beautiful, simply smooth! appeared first on Stories.

You have a wonderful choice of fragrance in the six-piece Pro Collagen Anti Ageing Performance collection, and you’ll understand why it’s called the performance collection, because it has…

NEW Pro Collagen Morning Matrix

This is definitely a game-changer and if you have tried the Overnight Matrix, you’ll know what I mean, but if you haven’t this alone is worthy of the whole Today’s Special Value… if you want that difference in your skin, this is the one you need to try.

Nourishing Omega Rich Cleansing Oil

It changes to a luxurious, milky lather when you add water. Your skin not only feels so clean but so soft.

Papaya Enzyme Peel 

I love an exfoliator. Getting rid of all those dead skin cells by sluffing them away feels so good. Your make-up and skincare and treatments work so much better, too.

Pro Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment

It has a beautiful texture to tap gently around the eye for those concerns you may have.

This is where you can choose your Bath and Shower Milk and Body Cream in either Warm Tonka & Vanilla or Sea Lavender & Samphire… What a tricky choice! I feel a double shopping trip coming on…

My personal choice is the Sea Lavender & Samphire. The fragrance smells calm and tranquil, but the samphire gives it that edge. It reminds me of holidays… the sun, sea and our toes between the sand. Gosh, can we remember the last time we did this, but it brings back those memories and we’re looking forward to when we can. So, if you haven’t tried this fragrance, enjoy it enveloped in the richness of the Shower Milk and Body Cream .

And many of you simply adore the Warm Tonka and Vanilla. What’s so lovely with this collection is that the two fragrances are so different. If you want a richness, the kind of fragrance you instantly adore when you walk into a luxury store, then this could be for you.

I’ll see you with Keeley at 9pm on April 2nd.

Love and sparkle always.

The post Truth in the beauty with Elemis appeared first on Stories.

They have many iconic fragrances, including Re-charge Black Pepper Fine Liquid Hand Wash, which features in the Today’s Special Value offer in the Fresh option, on the 6th March. It was created by master perfumer Jacques Chabert. It is one of Molton browns winning scents!

When you look at any brand that has sustained 50 years, they have always stayed true to themselves and true to their core values. After all these years, Joseph Koniak, who brings us the Pro Gloss hair range at QVC, is the son of the founder. He’s a very busy guest working on Hollywood movies, so it’s always a sheer delight when he can bring us his hair care range here at QVC.

With Molton Brown’s 7 Piece Luxury Collection, you can discover such divine choices, created by some of the best perfumers in the world, and it’s not tested on animals.

It’ll arrive beautifully boxed, so all you need to do is choose between the Floral option or the Fresh.

Fresh collection contains:

• 1 x Blissful Templetree Body Wash (300ml)
• 1 x Infusing Eucalyptus Body Wash (300ml)
• 1 x Black Pepper Hand Wash (300ml)
• 1 x Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel (100ml)
• 1 x Body Wash Black Pepper (100ml)
• 1 x Russian Leather Body Wash (50ml)
• 1 x Geranium Nefertum Body Wash (50 ml)

Floral collection contains:

• 1 x Ylang Body Wash (300ml)
• 1 x Floral Luminaire Body Wash (300ml)
• 1 x Lemon & Mandarin Hand Wash (300ml)

• 1 x Fiery Pink Pepper Body Wash (100ml)
• 1 x Rhubarb & Rose Body Wash (50ml)
• 1 x Lily & Magnolia Blossom (50ml)

Maybe go for both, and then you can mix and match! What a great opportunity to have some gifts or your favourites in your magic cupboard of secrecy… Ssssh! No one will ever know, but you’ll always have what you need at hand.

I mustn’t forget to mention that Triple Day is a great shopping opportunity for you at QVC, too. It ends on the 2nd March, so don’t miss out. We’re bringing you some superb deals to discover, all available in 3 interest-free instalments. Happy shopping!

Sending my love and sparkle and see you on the 6th for the Molton Brown Today’s Special Value…

Stay safe and well.

Much love,

The post Would your flesh like some fresh, or would floral be your normal? appeared first on Stories.

Let’s face it, who isn’t young at heart!

Perricone is always my choice of skincare with other collections from different ranges dipped in when in need, or when I need to try something new for you.

If it wasn’t available at QVC it would be unreachable, but that’s what we all love about shopping at QVC. Our value allows us to experience the Rolls Royce of skincare at magnificent pricing…

Perricone is a definite game-changer on the skin but the concept is like no other skincare. There is always a treatment to use every day and night which is a simple application before your moisturiser. Once you start to see the results, you just can’t get off the rollercoaster. I’ve been using the range since I launched it at QVC with Kara Beck, Perricone’s brand ambassador, and I’ve never looked back.

Join myself and Kara on the 25th January at 9pm for our skincare showstoppers from the range with the offer of Auto Delivery on two extra deliveries every 90 days. Now that’s worth an eyebrow raise and a jaw drop, especially when you see the Today’s Special Value includes bestsellers and they’re all SUPERSIZES.

Included in the offer:

1 x Face Finishing Firming Moisturiser (Supersize)

1 x Cold Plasma + Face Serum (Supersize)

1 x Cold plasma + Eye (Supersize)

This will fit into your current skincare routine if you are just joining the Perriconisters skincare lovers for the first time, and it’s also a perfect simple step to great skin.

One tip: you need the smallest amount, so please don’t overuse during your routine as you won’t get better results, but just waste another day of great award-wining skincare.

Use day and night, or if you love your current day or night moisturiser, just use Face Finishing Firming Moisturiser once a day, but always use Cold Plasma+ for the face and the eyes on cleansed dry skin, twice a day underneath your moisturiser.

I always say don’t expect spa-like fragrance in the skincare, expect skincare that really wants to make a difference in your skin and totally challenge it.

I have one of the most sensitive skins and I never thought I’d be able to use this range, but I wanted to with the right routine and small amounts, and gradually adding to the range I’ve never looked back. My skin at 57 this year has never looked and felt so good. It makes you feel so good every time you get a comment on how great your skin looks, and who doesn’t love that!

Join myself and Kara on the 25th at 9pm for the first live show and big reveal of our Perricone Todays Special Value!

Once you get started on the Perricone routine, we’ll show you during our live shows how to use the layering treatments that you may want to add that’ll makes that extra added difference.

Stay healthy and happy and let’s hope 2022 is a good year… gosh, HOPE is such a simple but great word!

Happy shopping.

Much love and sparkle forever.

They are so unique and bring us salon technology on tap that would cost so much more in a salon. Imagine having your own facialist at home with prescriptive treatments and the choice of 38 masks. You can have exactly this with the Foreo Today’s Special Value, available this Thursday.

It’s incredible what you receive in the Foreo collection. A choice of device colour between Pink, Blue or Fuchsia, and 38 skincare masks. Within the 38 masks you can treat yourself at look at your own concerns. They include anti-ageing, hydration and ultra hydration, that extra glow we all crave, and brightening too. The Shimmer Freak mask for the eyes was top of my list with Call it a Night a close second.

Being USB rechargeable and 100% waterproof makes it really user friendly. Oh and you can download the app for added features for an even greater Foreo experience

What’s not to love –  just choose your colour when shopping with me on 28th October at 10pm. Then choose your mask and infuse your skin with a choice of 38 masks and incredible technology.

Happy shopping, happy skin.

Much love,

The post Are you a shimmer freak or do you just want to call it a night? appeared first on Stories.

Philip Kingsley is taking us back to basics. I think sometimes we want miracles from our hair when we are at home. Asking ourselves why can’t we get the same look, feel and shine to our hair as we do when we leave the salon.

I have always believed investing in our hair is so important and finally cracking what suits your hair type makes it worth it. It often can be trial and error as our hair is unique to us… But you’ll know when you see those results in just a few washes.

Sunday’s Todays Special Value supersize collection from Philip Kingsley is the perfect step to fabulous hair. Simplicity often pays off – my own routine is soooo simple, a no-fuss routine and I get so many comments on the length and shine of my hair.

Here’s to salon hair in three simple steps:

Trichologist and Philip Kingsley brand ambassador Lisa Caddy is bringing you a litre of Body Building Shampoo, Moisture Balancing Conditioner and another supersize of Bond Builder split end remedy. All in Coconut Breeze, a subtle scent that reminds you of your favourite holiday with delicious notes of coconut, jasmine, almond and vanilla.

I also use Daily Damage Defence on towel dried hair. It’s like an everyday Elasticizer in a bottle and I’ve used it ever since it came to QVC. For the full salon experience, add Coconut Breeze Elasticizer. Oh and it’s on a  special price at the moment too. I believe Elasticizer is a game changer for hair. It was created by Philip Kingsley for Audrey Hepburn. It’s the  one haircare item I ensure I have extra of waiting in the cupboard so my hair doesn’t miss out on what it loves.

So no more bad hair days! Or bad handbag days…

Monday’s TSV is an Amanda Wakeley-designed Midi Jackman handbag just for QVC.

The five colours come in a range of exquisite leathers from textured weave to coloured snake print. Black, Magenta Python, Metallic Suede, Raven Green or Natural Python are the choices for this little beauty.

I enjoy a handbag that gives me the choice of a grab and go with shorter elegant handles, plus the opportunity to use the unique guitar-designed  strap over the shoulder. The strap can be removed with carabineers, a detail Amanda uses in her designs as she loves climbing.

It’s luxury, beautiful leather, and the AW charm sits so perfectly in place with a suede tassel to add to the look of this simply gorgeous designer handbag. Finished with a luxe linen lining, it shows there is never any compromise with Amanda’s designs. I always think the added zip closure gives us the extra security as does an inside pocket for your phone and another zipped pocket for those items you want to ensure are safe.

Amanda’s designs come in a signature gift box with a linen dust bag and a small note card from Amanda. It’s the ultimate treat or a very special gift. It’s going to be a tricky choice !

Happy shopping

Much love
