What celebrities have worn your jewellery?
Lately I've been thrilled to see all generations wearing my designs on the red carpet, from chic Hollywood mothers like Isla Fisher and Brooke Shields, to the fresh young trend-setters Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens.
I could barely contain my excitement when I saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing one of my signature necklaces in an episode of 'Sex And The City'. I'd always considered it to be a classic piece, yet here it was suddenly looking very fashion-forward!
One of the most interesting celebrity experiences I had was when Elton John asked me to make a belt buckle for him!

Hi everyone, Keeley from Elemis here.
I'm so excited about today's TSV! I thought I'd drop by and give you a little more information about it and a few tips to help you get the best results...
Elemis Tri-Enzyme Skin Smoothing System
The patented Elemis Tri-Enzyme System is a revolutionary skincare range which uses a trio of enzymes to work with the skin’s own enzymes to gently resurface the skin and encourage natural surface cell renewal.
When people think about resurfacing the skin, generally acid peels and micro-dermabrasion is what comes to mind. These aggressively strip away the top layer of the skin which can leave it thinner, dry and more prone to break-outs. The Elemis Tri-Enzyme System is different as it uses natural enzymes that work with the skin to improve tone, texture and radiance.

As part of Beauty Month, we've launched a brand-new show Meet the Beauty Experts and it's second show is airing this Sunday 12th July at 4pm.
We caught up with the experts from the show to get their top tips and advice for products featured in the show...
Real Hair on Real Cleanse and Moisture Duo
Real Cleanse shampoo is as gentle as a facial cleanser and contains acerola fruit and red seaweed, usually found in Eastern skincare. Dampen your hair, place the product into your hands and lather into your hair - repeat again if necessary.
Real Moisture is an everyday conditioner that won't leave your hair feeling heavy, and can be applied to even the finest hair. Once the hair has been freshly washed, this conditioner should be combed through the entire length of the hair, from the ends up to the root. Rinse thoroughly.

The style gurus at Grazia magazine have revealed their secret to sun-kissed skin - a 'blonzer'. This, they say, combines 'the skin-brightening flush of a blusher and the sun-kissed sheen of a bronzer' - and everyone's wearing one!

So, wherever you go this summer, don't forget to apply a little 'blonzer'!

We caught up with them after their make-over to find out how they got on and to check out their transformation (see photos below)...
So, what do you think of your finished look?
Jane: We're really pleased with it! It's not too heavy and quite natural looking, which we both prefer. We're both big fans of Bare Escentuals and love all of their products, so it's nice to be treated to the make-over and to see how SJ uses all the different products.

Good luck!
To celebrate our Philosophy Mini Series, we caught up with Philosophy expert Robin to find out about her skincare routine, top tips and much more.
Robin has over 20 years experience in the beauty business and now spends her time researching beauty trends and representing Philosophy at award ceremonies and on TV among other things.
Which is your favourite Philosophy product and why?
Purity Made Simple Cleanser! It's my desert island product. It easily removes my make-up (including my eye make-up) and leaves my skin feeling amazingly fresh all in one step. It's perfect on the days that I’m feeling lazy.
Its rich texture and calming scent make me look forward to washing my face. It has also become a bit of a family affair as I use it on my son and my husband uses it when he shaves – it's the ultimate multi-use product.
Top tip: I use this product to clean my make-up brushes. Its gentle formula will thoroughly clean off all the make-up and will leave them feeling super soft.

Charlie Dimmock of Ground Force fame is making her QVC debut this weekend in our Summer Garden with Charlie Dimmock shows. We caught up with her to chat about growing her own veg, ponds and getting the giggles...
What's your own garden like?
It's quite cottage-like - my front garden is totally chaotic and everybody turns up and goes 'Oh, what a mess!" but I've left it like that for the wildlife.
You don't want to be too tidy in your garden, have one or two areas where you just let things happen - then you'll have more wildlife and less pests.
In my back garden I've got a pond with a little waterfall. It's very cottagey so I've got lots of poppies, corn cockles and roses, lilies, clematis and a few bedding plants. And then I've got quite a big vegetable patch.
Here's another self-portrait for you to work out... this one's a little tricky but the fabulous big hair is a bit of a clue. Can you guess who this smiley presenter is?
Tell us who you think it is by leaving your guess in the comment box below.
Happy guessing!
I just wanted to tell you a little bit about today's extra-special TSV - a sparkling
Diamonique ring. Ernest presented this ring to me to celebrate 25 years of our marriage together.
We're incurable romantics! You may remember that we have renewed our vows five different times over the last years.
In celebration of this romantic occasion, this magnificent ring was created to depict the bridge of love in dazzling princess-cut simulated diamonds. Marriage is filled with bridges so I've create dazzling rows of sparkling stones to show just this. And I want everyone to enjoy the feeling of romance and elegance every time they wear it.
It's my joy to share this love ring with you...
Love Tova
Feel like doing something a little different with your hair? Want to jazz it up for a special occasion? We chatted to Jo Robertson, hair stylist for ghd, to find out how she balances work at fast-paced ghd and being a busy mum and to get some of her style secrets too...
Did you always know you wanted to work with hair?
It was a done deal really, I always wanted to be a hair stylist. I started about 21 years ago when I was about 16 and worked in various salons. Five years ago I opened by own salon Harrington Robertson and two years ago I joined ghd. Since then I've been kept busy with magazine work, fashion weeks, teaching seminars and much more.
How would you describe the brand ghd?
Cool, iconic and always a step ahead. I always compare ghd to Madonna, who is constantly reinventing herself. You think that she can't take her look any further, and then she does. That's what we try and do at ghd.

Did you have a go at guessing who this smart presenter is? It did have a few of you a little undecided, but I think the daily papers were a big clue.
Well, we can reveal that it's... Simon Biagi!
Well done to everyone who guessed correctly, and keep your eyes peeled for more guess the presenter coming soon...
Our resident beauty expert, Alison Young, has graced our screens for 14 years, sharing her tips, tricks and beauty secrets with us.
We caught up with her to find out her most embarrassing moments, her favourite guests and much more...
What's your top make-up tip after 14 years with QVC?
My top make-up trick would be to get clever with your utensils, such as brow pencils, eyeliners and lipliners. The older you get, the more shape you need so it's important to learn how to shape properly.
For overall beauty, my top tip would be to wear an SPF factor every single day. Start as early as you can and remember that it's never too late.
