Anybody here, addicted to those channels? Any particular product you love and can't do without. I particulary like Serious Skin Care products on HSN. Since I've over 40 (ah-hem) I use a lot of the C products. Also, love the way the olive oil products work. Anybody else?

I don't watch a whole lot, but I do order Bare Minerals makeup routinely from QVC. When I used to travel to the SF Bay Area now and then, I'd pop into their retail outlets (Bare Escentuals) down there to get what I need, but there's nowhere in the Portland area to do that, so QVC suffices. I also have a Royal Palace rug I purchased from them that I LOVE. I've never paid much attention to HSN -- don't know why.

i use bare minerals also! i just order from their catalog. i started using the products from watching an infomercial and now i'd never switch! now that my sleep apnea is under control i'm not up at 3am, so i never get to watch any of the good infomercials. my dh won't let me turn on the HSN or QVC. he knows me too well!

max, i used to think QVC was a lot better than HSN. but, lately, they have gotten much better. the hosts aren't as smarmy as they used to be, better product names. etc. the italian bath and body products are yummy as well. however, QVC has philosophy products, which smell delicious

I am not. I live in a condo building. Another woman here IS definitely addicted. A day in which she doesn't get something delivered from QVC or HSN is rare. Usually it's two, three, four packages a day. Really. She obviously is addicted. I can't imagine her credit card statement. (I've never gotten myself into trouble with credit cards.) She needs help.

i've ordered a lot from both over the years. i like QVC better. i don't shop with QVC or HSN regularly though. i get the kansas city steaks every 8 weeks from QVC. in the past, i ordered (once) the crabcakes. i have make-up from them....models prefer, serious skin care, signatureA, bare escentuals/minerals (?), smashbox. Philosophy products. Samy Hair products. i don't like paying too much on shipping, so i watch my spending. (just so you know i don't have a credit card problem. in fact, i've never had to pay a finace charge on any credit card because i always pay off my card monthly).

Chalk me up as another Bare Escentuals gal. I also love their ultrafine silver-- although it appears that they are doing away with the line. They only have about 10 products left, and I haven't seen a presentation of it in forever! We've also gotten the Kansas City Steak Burgers in the past -- delicious! However, I've purchased the most silver and white gold jewelry from them. I've had an Eclissi watch for over 5 years now, and I love it! Not to mention rings, bracelets, earrings, etc. However -- I am VERY careful how much I buy and when. Some items I can find on ebay cheaper, but the return policy on ebay isn't as good as QVC's! LOL

I love Bare Escentuals, but I get them at Ulta, however we watched one of the specials on a Sat night, and then on Sunday the ad for Ulta had the same special grouping, for the list price and QVC was like $20 cheaper!! And for face cream, HSN, is it Club A? Adriane? they had a 2 for one $24, I had bought it 2 Christmas ago, (in a package, hated her makeup compared to Bare Minerals!) but the face cream, did wonders for my dry winter skin... I even tried Pond's cream, nothing keeps the dry flaky skin away, but hsn stuff!!

I have ordered Mrs. Prindables apples for gifts in the past and everyone loved them. Abby, did you like the crabcakes? This is something I always want to order but am afraid of in case I don't like them and all that monoey would eb down the drain.

If you don't like the crab cakes, you can send them back. That's the beauty of QVC -- 30 day money back guarantee! If the crab cakes are like the other food items, though, they'll be delicious!

Fabnsab: I liked the crab cakes, but not enough to keep ordering them. The crab was good. However, dh and I didn't really like the special spices they put on them. Apparently, most people love the special spice they use. I would definitely buy them again if I had a choice not to get them spiced. I'm still receiving the Kansas City Steaks. Still not sure if I'm paying too much though. For now, it's convenient to have them shipped (until I find a butcher in the area). I was a shopping ho' for gifts (and for me) this year at HSN and QVC. I'll summarize what I got: 2 Thomas Pacconi Christmas Trees with 25 Glass Ornaments and Cabinet for ornaments. QVC (this is really nice. good for people who don't have the time/room for a big tree. great for an older person who can't decorate. decorations are nicely made and the lights are already on the tree.) QVC 2 Conair Massage Pillows HSN ("motor" broke on one pillow already, so no vibrating. hope it doesn't break on the one i gave as a gift). 3 Massage "long tubes" (haven't tried yet) HSN 2 Honora Cultured Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings 10mm 14k (one pair Black Pearls/one pair White)QVC (pretty) 1 Eric Grossbardt Sterling/18k Museum Collection Earrings (pretty, haven't worn yet. deciding if they are too expensive.) QVC 1 Toss & Chop Salad Scissors (I really like this as I make lots of salads and like the greens,etc. finely chopped. However, only have used it a few times. Hope the blade doesn't get dull. A bit hard to clean by hand, lots of grooves). 1 Arnold Palmer Golf Game (as a gag gift for dh's Dad. really not too practical or fun for a game. the ball is really small and it's awkward to use) 2 Micro Mouse Cat Toy with Remote Control (cute. okay for the price. my cat likes to play with it for short periods at a time. assembly for this little toy is ridiculous). Unfortunately, there's more, but won't get in to those now. :>)

Can't remember where the scunci steamer was chatted about before, but, someone here raved about it. i've been thinking about getting it for months. they have finally reduced the price to 59.99 (bed,bath and beyond) haven't tried it yet, but, anyone here have it and like it?
