QVC, HSN host digital party for beauty lovers
QVC and HSN’s Beauty Bash returns in a virtual format in September.
The two multiplatform retailers, which share parent company Qurate Retail Group, are holding their second annual Beauty Bash on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021, 12-3 p.m. ET. After hosting it as a live event in Philadelphia in 2019, QVC and HSN will offer it with custom-designed interactive booths, experts, and specialized content in a virtual environment, which the companies say will allow double the number of attendees.
Beginning July 28, 2021, at 9 a.m. ET, a limited quantity of tickets that come with a special edition Beauty Discovery Box will go on sale for $59. The box contains 26 beauty products from participating vendors valued at over $500. Complimentary tickets to the event will be available once Beauty Discovery Box tickets sell out. Content from the event, including panel sessions, will be available online for attendees for seven days following the event.
