I've always wondered why almost all the fashion and beauty items I've ever seen being sold on QVC or HSN are for women?
Guys buy clothes too, although I can't imagine many guys doing those sappy call-ins to the hosts going on and on about how wonderful such and such an article of clothing is and how they brought it in three different colors.
But I do know a LOT of women buy clothes and accessories for their guys. Seems like TV shopping would be a great way to tap into this market. Only stuff I've ever seen that might remotely be considered "guy" stuff are electronics. But no clothing or accessories. Do I just catch these stations at the wrong time, or is there a reason for that?

Women are likely the only group of shoppers that will sit and watch it. Uggghhh. They have a certain demographic.
I find their prices can be a bit high for what they are offering. Elastic waist, Capri length leggings shouldn't be $40.
Yup. For example I was really excited to see that C.Wonder returned via HSN or what have you. I had purchased a reallly cool pair of shoes a few years ago that are now worn out, so I wanted to buy them again. So I went online to see.
I had gitten then for a really cheap price at an end of season clearance. My shoes were available, but tge materials were cheaper. And the new price was 30% more than the old retail price. The reviews were also mentioning poor quality. I decided to pass - at the price point I could have bought something far nicer. Oh well.
I utelize QVC a lot to save on brands I already use. I typically only buy things that are on sale.
I buy pretty much all of my 'beauty' stuff from QVC.
Make-up wise, I like IT Cosmetic's CC Cream better than anything I've ever used. Their Superhero mascara is great, too. So, I waited until it was a TSV and I have it on autodelivery. A fraction of what you would pay at Ulta.
I like Philosophy's Amazing Grace. Again, when it is on special on QVC, I will order it. Way cheaper.
One thing I tried from QVC that I love is Josie Maran's whipped argon oil body butter. I've always been very picky with lotions because I don't like the way my skin feels after using most of them. (I was using Philosophy until I tried Josie Maran.) I'm in love. But, again, I only order it when it is a special.
Clothing-wise, I also will order from time-to-time from QVC. Mainly a TSV or One Day Only, because otherwise it is pretty expensive.
Shoes- I've been a long time Clarks fan, so I will watch for Clarks specials and order if I like them. I've become a fan of Vionic, and since they are so expensive, I also watch for specials. I usually only order things on sale. I do comparison shop to make sure I'm getting the best deal.
For a long time, I had my DVR set to record all Dooney & Bourke shows. I have a bit of a habit. Again, I was only looking for bargains. I would fast forward looking for a sale price, lol. When I ended up with 8 new Dooneys last year, I had to cancel the DVR recordings.
As far as HSN, they don't have as many of the brands I've used for a long time. The only thing I ever order from HSN (out of any category) is Huggable Hangers. I'm getting close to having all closets 100% Huggable Hangers, so I will be done with that soon as well.

Good for you. I would like to suggest you do some research on prices of the items you just mentioned (It Cosmetics, Philosophy) can be had in many places. I won't buy stuff like this, that can be purchased elsewhere. Many places will give me free shipping and handling, so I'm not buying it from QVC. The Argon oil stuff I buy from Amazon (pure 100% cold pressed Argon Oil).
The only time I could see me shopping for items off of one of these sites is if they carried something no one else did that appealed to me. Otherwise, I shop around for deals. LOL.
I buy my Dooney's from the official D&B website (which also has stretch pay) and I get free shipping and handling.

Oh, I do shop around. I've never found anyone who can even come close to IT's CC cream bundled into a TSV. And then I usually get some random other crap for 'free'.
I'm not sure if I've ever bought anything from QVC that wasn't on some sort of sale. Clearance, TSV, One Day Only, Lunchtime Special, etc...
I don't actually like argon oil itself- I like the whipped body butter. I'm very particular about textures and residue when it comes to lotions and stuff. Scents, too. I have 0 complaints with the Josie Maran stuff, which is amazing for me. I used to use the tube lotion from Philosophy, but only in Pure Grace (the scents got to me in the other.) Their souffles and stuff in tubs I hated. I hate Bath and Body Works and all kinds of other lotions.
I don't watch the channel much at all. (Sometimes when working from home it is on as background noise when nothing else is on and the quiet is bothering me.) I either DVR brands I like (and later fast forward through them), check my emails, or stalk their website for deals, lol. I feel like I go in spurts- I don't order anything for a while (right now I'm in one of those lulls) and then all of a sudden, a bunch of brands I like/use have specials and I have packages coming like crazy.
The Dooneys... ugh. QVC had like 3 or 4 TSVs last year. And I liked them all. I got a couple on clearance. And some other random sales I guess. Nothing full price and always at least a 25% discount, if not more, plus my Discover card gave 5% cash back on all QVC purchases. Also compared prices to other websites to make sure it was actually a good deal, even with shipping. I also picked something up from the DB website last year. Finished the year out with 9 new Dooneys, a new purse from Draper James (Reese Witherspoon's line), and some random Target level purses. I was working a whole lot of overtime so I not only had some extra money, but I was stuck on a computer for 12+ hours a day, 5-7 days a week for 14 months straight. Things got a little out of control

There ya go! Shop around. I have a problem with paying full price for most things, LOL. Draper James has been around for a minute. It's sold at Nordstrom's too. Saw nice pieces over the Summer.
Body care products come and go for me. I don't stick with any one type over a long period of time, as I feel after a while, it no longer benefits me. It's weird, I know. I switch out. Right now I'm using Peter Thomas Roth's Shower gel and Shea Moisture's Coconut Oil for hydration.
Sometimes I buy Pure Shea butter from Amazon for my body, hair as well. I have a little personal care aisle in my home .
Girl after my own heart! A deal catcher, LOL.
