An End to an Era as Mary Beth Roe Retires from QVC

For over 37 years Mary Beth Roe has been a QVC host that has sold us everything from faux diamond necklaces to the latest Bare Minerals launch but on March 21st Mary Beth hug up host cloak and retiredf rom QVC. There was a Retirement Celebration that aired on Friday but I actually didn’t catch it as I was out. I remember the days I’d record episodes of QVC on my Tivo if there was some sort of Today’s Special Value I wanted to purchase. In true, Mary Beth Rose fashion, her last show was a mix of beauty, food, jewelry, and accessories. She attributes part of the reason as retiring because she has four grandkids and was missing out on so much of their lives.

QVC has changed so much over the last several years and I sadly, find myself not shopping there as often as I once did. I miss the amazing Bare Minerals, It Cosmetics, Mally, and Laura Geller Today’s Special Value Sets. They just don’t do sets as good anymore. Regardless, QVC is still a premium source for deals on beauty, clothing, home goods, and more. Mary Beth joins team members like Lisa Robertson who also left QVC a few years ago. I still miss Lisa and I’ll miss Mary Beth as well.

Are you a QVC shopper still? Or do you miss the way it used to be?
