Take a Secret Look into a 13th Century Pharmacy

» 116 Comments

  • Skip and Amanda I really appreciate you bringing back the snowdrop scent and I stocked up. I do look whenever you are on to see if you have it so I can buy more. I don’t want to run out. I would appreciate you bringing back the reed diffusers in the double latte and the Wild orchid/Tahitian gardenia. They last such a long time and my house smells wonderful when they are full but right now they are empty. I know you like to bring new things but please don’t abandon your old faithfuls.

    DOUBLE LATTE AROMA REED DIFFUSER—Skip and Amanda, I have been waiting for two years now for this scent to return in the reed diffusers. PLEASE bring it back. Everyone who visits remarks how wonderful the house smells. AND my husband loves it also! PLEASE please bring it back!

    Skip and Amanda, I miss the original Lavender. It was so sweet and gentle and smelled exactly like the true fragrance of lavender. The new Lavender smells like it could be purchased anywhere. Would you ever change Snowdrop??? I don’t think so. Please bring back the original Lavender. I love the original Lavender like Amanda loves her Snowdrop. Mary

    hi,skip & amanda, first i want to say that i love your products! your scents are the best. second i would like to know when the rice bar soap trio will be in stock at hsn. my husband loves that soap! thank you.

  • ~Z~, MI says:

    Fan of ORIGINAL Elariia Double Latte. Loved 4.4oz intensive treatment w/shea butter, can’t find it anymore. REALLY dislike the peppermint in it. If I wanted peppermint scent, I’d rub a pack of gum over my body. Don’t understand why you think you must have a new scent each visit. Why can’t you just provide the old, traditional scents that your dedicated customers bought, which made you such a huge success? Now I don’t buy anything from you! I want the ones I fell in love with.

    • patsydresden says:

      I agree with -Z-, Enough already with “new” scents. The original Elariia Double Latte is fabulous–or should say WAS fabulous. As stated in a separate comment, I have waited 2 yrs for the Double Latte reed diffusers to return, but instead have seen many new scents, dropping the old favorites. What’s up with that????

  • Karen, AZ says:

    Where oh where is the original shea butter? I like many others MISS IT! Change is good, tradition is better! I live in AZ, HOT HOT, not wanting to overdo it this is a line that gives you a wonderful light scent as a bonus. To use as a moisturizer THAT WORKS is the true benifit.
    Please bring back the sweet almond body spray & larger body powder with puff. The best of the best, you can layer without fear of overdoing!

  • Janette, TX says:

    I miss the Snow Drop fragrance! Will it be available again?

  • sandra, NY says:

    Hi Amanda & Skip,

    I just wanna tell you how much I love your products Perlier and Elarila. But what happened to the lilac bath and shower gel? I didn’t see it this time. Do you know when you gonna bring it back, i saw it online i wish it was on autoship when i bought it. I would like to cmment on white musk i love it especial the lotion with the pump it has the little shimmering to it and also makes my skin so soft and velvety. The hand lotion i don’t like the smell it has a medicine scent

  • Jen says:

    Skip – I need that melon foam spray from 2 summers ago – it was amazing! Also –
    how about a Honey foam bath – I used that on my kids and I love the scent so much!!!

    Please bring back some of the oldies but goodies!!

    Take care!!

    Jen

  • Debbie, GA says:

    now after such a BEAUTIFUL, RICH, POWERFUL fragrance you no longer have it in your line. What is going on? I cannot wear another musk fragrance unless I pay $149.99 for a 4 ounce bottle!! I like so many women am on a tiny SSI check and cannot afford such a price for a lesser quality perfume. I have not ask you all for anything till now. PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR LET ME KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE IT PLEASE! I send my love and prayers to you and your loved ones,Thanks

    Another HUGE PLEA for the lemon vanilla and black currant bergamont body sprays, please!

  • Skip and Amanda- Want to add my vote to bring back the orininal Shea Butters,like Acacia Shea and the old florals. One thing I loved about your Shea Butters were they weren’t thinned out with soy or other products. If you want to expand your line to reach different demographics, please don’t do it at the expense of the classic formulations and flavors that we fell in love with and came to depend on. Please less whipped,or creamier butters and bring back your wonderful florals.Also the self-tan.

  • PEGGIE, MA says:

    WERE ARE THE FRAGRANCES.I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WITH THIS BEING THE MOTHERS DAY SPECIAL THAT YOU WOULD ATLEAST OFFER THE FRAGRANCES TO MATCH, LIKE THE PEONY AND THE GARDENIA I DONT KNOW HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR GARDENIA I KNOW I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR A YEAR NOW AND I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE IT FOR MOTHERS DAY BUT AGAIN I WAS DISAPPOINTED…PLEASE BRING THE GARDENIA FRAGRANCE IN…THANK YOU

  • Will we receive no news on our beloved original double latte and shea butter almond fragrances? The loss would not be quite so troubling if we at least still had our fragrance sprays to enjoy. As a customer sensitive to many perfumes, I’m actually saddened to no longer have my fragrantly favorite shea and latte formulas in which to indulge. I sincerely hope original formula fans unite in protest….we’re waiting for an answer, please….

  • Victoria says:

    LOL Skip! I’m listening to the 4/28 midnight TS show. Personally I never threatened to leave you over White Tea Bergamot but I sure am glad you listened to us and brought it back! Now PLEASE could you bring us the BERGAMOT EDT in its original formulation? NO threats – just please, please, please! Gotta have it! And these newcomers won’t know what him ‘em! ;)

  • Where is Sandalwood??? I bought 3 kits for my husband, he loves it and uses it daily, but I dont see anymore listed…Please dont tell me it’s been discontinued..

  • FYI says:

    A bit more FYI on planned presentations mentioned during March 27th 2009 shows. Gardenia, Lilac and White Tea Bergamot relaunch April 2009. Blood Orange launch June 2009. Vineyards Nectar launch July 2009. Cedarwood Sage launch October 2009. Only one day visits for April and June but as HSN program guide shows there are about 7-8 hours of shows scheduled for April.

  • Shell, AZ says:

    Just an FYI for gardenia lovers…I saw in the invite card I got in the mail from IB that they are bringing back Gardenia and I believe it will be organic!! This should be great. Just want to say to Skip and Amanda that I’m bummed we’ll only have you for one-day visits this year…I really enjoy your products and your show.

    It appears you are leaving many loyal customers to wonder exactly what is happening at IBB-or as you now call yourselves-Italian Beauty. I am a longtime customer & am disppointed to find that Gardenia & Tuberose products are now becoming very limited. Is this a sign of future things to come-sacrificing longtime customers by eliminating products that Amanda admitted were some of her favorite scents? If so-be honest enough to mention that on-air or in a blog. I will look elsewhere for these scents

  • Carolyn, PA says:

    I have bought so many sets that I’ve lost count. My favorite is Gardenia!! It has disappeared and I’m almost out of it. PLEASE bring it back!!

  • Linda, MN says:

    I too like many others like the original shea butter scent. I also would like to see a Reed diffuser again in Sweet Almond, can’t beat it.

  • Frances, TN says:

    Will there be a Self-Tanning lotion for Perlier Shea Butter this year? This has been a summer staple for me, for my daughter, and for my 2 granddaughters since you have brought the product to HSN. Please tell me it is coming for this year!

  • Rose W., MI says:

    I would like to know if you are going to bring back the Black Rice Anti-Aging hand cream? My mother, my 21 year old daughter and I all use this and love it. Please, please, please bring this back. I tried to find it on the Italian Beauty site and was not able to locate it. Love the new name by the way. Products are wonderful. Keep bringing them to us.

  • Fay, IL says:

    Dear Skip and Amanda,
    Love your products! Have quite a stock pile, but don’t want to share them! Other than the Victor Green Tea, are any of the other bath/shower products suitable as a shampoo?? Would love more 3-in-1’s. Head to toe scenting….thanks.
