Oscar Buzz: QVC Prepares for the Red Carpet with Beauty & Fashion Deals

QVC is preparing their 2013 Red Carpet Show from the Four Seasons LA

It’s that time again. The Oscars/Academy Awards are coming this Sunday. Like many viewers, we love Red Carpet style.  But being The Recessionista, we are always on the look out for Red Carpet style for less.   That’s why we tune in to the QVC Red Carpet broadcast every year from Los Angeles at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills.   This year’s show “Red Carpet STYLE – Live from L.A”  will air on Friday, February 22 at 9 PM (ET).  The show will feature fashions from singer/actress Jennifer Hudson and celebrity stylist Jen Rade. Jen Rade is debuting a new line called Edge by Jen Rade exclusively on QVC.  The show will feature appearances by Nicole Richie, Lisa Rinna and Heidi Klum.  Interviews with celebrity and designer guests will be conducted by fashion authority and lifestyle expert Jill Martin, who will serve as the red carpet correspondent. Shoppers will also learn styling secrets directly from ELLE magazine’s Joe Zee and Lori Goldstein.   Read on to learn The Recessionista’s top picks from the deals on offer from QVC.

The Recessionista’s Red Carpet Picks

I’ve had look at the selection of QVC Red Carpet items, and here are some of the products that I am excited to see:

• Edge by Jen Rade Allover Lace Long Sleeve Top with Cami for $58.25  I like Jen Rade’s style and this is a versatile top.  Lace overlay has been a trend at New York Fashion week that last few seasons, making this a good style pick.
• stila On the Red Carpet Face and Eye Palette for $25.00  Great colors and nice packaging. You can’t go wrong with stila cosmetics.
• Kate Somerville RetAsphere Hydrating Two-in-One Retinol Treatment for $58.00  This stuff works, it’s a great anti-aging product with the miracle Retinol baked in.  A great spa at home treatment.
• Ole Henriksen Lemon Strip Flash Peel 1.7oz for $44.00: I’m a big fan of Ole’s organic beauty products and his spa on Sunset.  These are good products that are good for your skin.  Celebrities have been going to Ole’s spa to get red carpet ready for years.
• Dell XPS Tablet 10” LED Screen 2GB RAM 32GB HD w/ Tech Support & Keyboard Event Price: $749.00 I’m test driving the Dell Tablet and Keyboard right now, read my review for more information.  The tablet is great for portable business and entertainment.  A blogger’s best friend, without technology, we can’t tell you the latest news direct from the runway or the Red Carpet.

My other QVC favorite is the Jacqueline Kennedy jewelry. You can’t find more unique, classic jewelry for the price than the QVC reproductions of Jackie Kennedy’s Chanel costume jewelry and her Van Cleef & Arpels pieces.  The entire collection offers terrific styles at great prices, that definitely fit in on any Oscar Red Carpet.
