Ever bought anything from SkyMall, QVC, infomercial, etc?

Project Life (scrapbooking) kit - the today's special value on HSN.

I bought this on HSN about a year ago.  I have no idea how I found it on there since I don't watch it or have cable.

I have bought stuff on QVC. A clarisonic mia was a special value and cheaper then anywhere else. I also bought Josie Maran whipped argan butter that I am loving.

My mom got me the huggable hangers from QVC. She also has the Temptations stoneware.

My parents had no clue what to get DH for Christmas one year, and he came up with a Jagermeister chiller he saw in skymall. That was used for a party once, and went into the closet, never to return.

I got my Vita Mix from QVC. It was a today's special value on my birthday, and even though I was at work, I went and hid in our break room and ordered it on my iPhone. It probably was not worth it for me, but I figure I will be able to use it forever, so it was not my worst purchase ever.

I bought a my little steamer set (home and travel size) I use them at least weekly. It works great, does spit water, takes very little time to heat up, etc. My mom got steamer envy so I got her a set last Christmas.

I have two pairs of earrings that I bought on JTV that I wear constantly.

I love my Magic Bullet blender. I've wanted one since I saw the infomercial years ago and finally got one at Kmart last year.

Only one thing - HSN had an amazing deal on the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette a couple weeks ago. With a new customer coupon, it was only $29 for the palette + full sized shadow insurance primer. Buying those two items from Sephora would have been $69. They're the real thing too!

Mine should be arriving today!

SMIL got me huggable hangers. I love them and bought a bunch of the knock off ones.

My mom buys shit from qvc all.the.time.

[pattieice]

No. But I am tempted to buy Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty anti aging products. I have watched that infomercial one too many times and my god, she is gorgeous.

I was a huge QVC shopper years ago. Usually its great quality.

Never bought anything from skymall

I was just thinking about starting a post like this. I purchased the Amish Milk Wood Cleaner and IT DOES NOT REMOVE WATER RINGS LIKE IT SHOWS ON THE INFOMERCIAL! It actually leaves streaks and my wood looks no better than it did before, definitely not the luster, shine and like new revival that they promise. I was so excited for the product to come after someone left a cup of ice on the table overnight.

My dad is a big QVC shopper, so I've gotten several things from QVC from him. Including the WrapMaster for foil and one for plastic wrap. Surprisingly, they work well.

And I got the Perfect formula nail polish from them. I think Kore recommended it.

[helpinghands]

I got my 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Beret on QVC because I thought I'd get to talk to Apolo Anton Ohno.

A lot of these made me LOL

scm1011, I must know what a self-cooking pot is.

pattieice, I've been tempted by the Meaningful Beauty ads too! But then I think, "Well if it's so great, everyone would know about it and I'd have heard more buzz, right?" That's kind of the reality check I do with all miracle products...but doesn't mean I don't still get tempted!

Yes, but it has Dr. Jean Louis Sebagh's super antioxidant distilled from a rare melon grown in the south of France.

A rare melon! What other buzz do you need?

I love skymall! I've never purchased anything, but it's at least 20-30 minutes of pure entertainment on flights

[itsme]

I bought a Wolfgang Puck cookware set many years ago. It was/is a horrible set. I still have it but it's my backup. Everything sticks even with oil or butter in it.

[badtzmaru22]

DH bought the Little Giant ladder off the infomercial. He does use it, but you can get a similar thing at Lowes for half the price.

Magic Bullet, Wax Vac, Slushy Magic…. The Magic Bullet was the only decent purchase

Dd2 ate half of a sky Mall magazine on the plane last month. Does that count?

I tried to find the old infomercial on youtube, but no luck. Its these pots that you can take off the stovetop and put them on your countertop in the back of your car or wherever and they'll still keep cooking the contents. My memory is a little fuzzy, but it was a product that no one would ever need and my mother dropped a pretty penny on them.  

OMG...I think I've seen this infomercial! Is it the one with "The Mommies" or something like that?? 

Confession: I used to addicted to infomercials. I watched them constantly and would run to find my mom to tell her about the latest one I'd seen. "MOM! We HAVE to have it! It will totally change our lives. FOR REAL!" Thank goodness she never listened to me.

Dh's grandma has bought me these from qvc

My aunt gave me some of this stuff because she didn't want it. Most of it is still sealed. PM if you want it. It's just sitting in my cabinet...

If she doesn't take it, bring it to the next GTG and I'll take it off your hands!

Deal. I have such sensitive skin, it sucks.

My grandma loved QVC and we got so much from them and frankly only a few items were of real use. However, they can have some nice special on Belk(?). When my mom had to call QVC to tell them she passed. She said they were heart broken-- I bet she spent a ton of $$$$ with them.

My friend bought a Wax Vac for her son from Wal-mart.  She said it was awful and returned it.

My mom bought one of those "Aerobed on a stand beds" out of Skymall to use as our "guest bedroom" bed which doubles as a "catch all" room in our basement. It actually works great, is super easy to set up and is comfortable. It's nice not having the old peeps crouch down on towards the floor and looks more like a real bed when setup. I'd recommend it.
Only downside is it is HEAVY so it's a PITA to haul if we wanted to take it out of the basement.
