I've noticed creative products getting more popular especially with ebay... - 30-05-06, 09:19 AM

Are these the products you train with through creative?

you won't know if they're the real deal until you receive them... who knows what's inside the packaging?
you can't be 100% sure that the product has been removed and replaced with an inferior product.
support your distributors and buy your products with not only a guarantee but the knowledge that you know exactly what you're getting and that it is the real thing, it takes away the not knowing, the being unsure and gives you peace of mind.

Its a kit that I dont recognise (ie not the trial/starter kit from Creative UK) Anyone know what Im on about? xx

This really gets my goat I thought this was a special offer at the beauty shows and didn't think that it was as easy to get a hold of as it seems to be please correct me if I am wrong but when I was at the Scottish Beauty Show in May I was told this was an offer only available to the shows

SO youve seen them too? Its not that I wanted to buy it its that I found it odd that someone had so many to sell and the packaging looks different and the free towel and d.dish confused me. Its not 1 or 2 items either but a large amount. If youve seen these things for sale/on offer then this person must have bought loads there somehow. Did they sell it for the same price, less or more? It must be someone trained with Creative otherwise they wouldnt have been able to buy them in the first place. I realise that I must be naive but it upsets me that a Creative trained person would be such a traitor. Sounds harsh I know and even dramatic but I feel rather let down. xxx

These kits are available direct from Hyperion group - they recently had a new delivery of them so I guess they will be around until stocks run out!

There are loads of charlatans around who will do what they have to do to make a quick buck, obviously not making it doing nails, just making it selling nail products....with the exchange rate as it is right now, I guess a lot of these products are smuggled in with out the proper freight and tax duty.....there are loads of websites that sell these products and don't declare or ship them within the law...I guess it's up to your concience to decide whether you buy from them or support your local supplier and your local (or national as we are a global site) economy.

They are not listed on their website - it is a special offer so from their point of view, the less people that know about it I guess the better. I had one deliverd only a couple of weeks ago - ordered directly from hyperion group over the phone.

You get 8oz retention+
pink and white powders
Creative hand towel
Creative "dog bowl" aluminium dappen dish.

Well worth the money - works out at a saving of about £70 with the VAT and everything!

Call them monday and see if they have any left - Retention+ table kit it's called

I bought this 'table kit' from Salisbury OSNS on Tuesday, worked out to be a good buy. I love the 'dog bowl' it is so easy, no more blu tack to stop all that sliding around.

maybe the seller bought the stuff at a show, you dont have to prove you are creative trained there.
