I just got back from the annual Cosmoprof North America show in Las Vegas. It’s the largest beauty trade show in America and it covers all aspects of the beauty business. While I was there, I caught up with Maureen Kelly from tarte. She and her team were looking at new product formulas and concepts. She showed me an interesting SPF formula she really liked for a future foundation product. This year, we also held an “open see” for beauty vendors who are interested in selling their products on QVC. Approximately 20 vendors showed us their products and told us their brand stories. They covered all categories from skin care to hair care to makeup. We had a drop-off box for them to leave samples for us to review. Right now, my team and I are busy testing everything we received, so I'm sure we'll have some great new beauty products for you all to try in 2014!
