To be honest, I've heard good things about it but have never tried the stuff myself. My personal opinion is glorified Avon. Nothing wrong with Avon, buy I've kinda moved on from it.

I used it in my facials, it isn't a pro product and didnt give pro results. Don't like it personally sorry xx

A beauty therapist who wanted to rent a room in my salon said that she had been looking into this to use and sell.. and she found that they don't really have a wide variety of products and they are expensive.

I also put glorified Avon.

I don't like Virgin Vie think its overpriced,

If you are looking for a skincare range that is quite affordable then try one of these:

Envirion, RVB, Eve Taylor, Thalac, Priadara & Ahava. Can't remember anymore but they all sent me an info pack & i decided from there.

i love virgin vie - for myself 99% of my make up is theirs.

BUT as a retail item in a salon id go with a professional product such as nimue. anyone can buy virgin vie - if i was buying a product in a salon id like to think it was a professional product - id be more inclined to buy it as i know i can get virgin vie anywhere xx

why don't you try nature's way they are reassonably prices and you can also retail these to your clients their are 3 different packages at different prices ranging from £110- £400.
i use these products and i find they are great and my clients love them most of them have essential oils in themnot only are they good for your skin they smell yummy as well.
here is the link for the site where you can order and ask for a catalogue www.belitas.co.uk

these are the best yet but don't come close to nimue
hope this helps

Hi Minkus, I remember you asking this question before and I remember many of the same above answers been given by the same people. At that stage I was enquiring about Virgin as well and I have to say that I think their products are lovely. I have started using the skin care range as well as my 12 yr old daughter. Both our skins have improved enormously in fact just the other day my daughter spontaneously said," Wow mum, your skin looks great". Hers is lovely too, with less spots and less blackheads. Their make-up is loveley and goes the distance. Their eye shadows stays on and the eye liners don't weep. Their 'One Step Face Base' gives gorgeous longlasting coverage.
I agree with Katelisa...... fab products at far reasonable prices that other high quality brands.
Sorry, but I am going to have to disagree with the above. I think they are a worthwhile brand of skincare and cosmetics and money well spent! Ml for ml Virgin Vie costs less that Boots no.7 but with a quality alongside Clarins, clinique etc.

Hi,

Amber didn't ask the question again, it's an old thread that has been resurrected again !!

i love this too - i used it on my gran (whose 84) she was well chuffed - thought she looked 20 years younger! great coverage for an uneven skintone - covers my freckles great!!! xx

LOL, sorry didn't realize. However I was enquiring at the time about VV and have to say that despite it being described as glorified Avon I'm really impressed with their products.

It does, I absolutely love it. We cant get it here so I ask my friend to send me refills!

I am a big fan of Virgin Vie, I quite liked the skin care range myself although I dont buy it now as its too expensive to have it sent over. I couldn't vote as none of the questions were relevant for me, I dont think its glorified Avon but I wouldn't compare it to the very expensive stuff either. What ever it falls into though, I love it

I didnt go for Virgin Vie in the end.......and yep this is near on a year old thread brought back up MRS CLOONEY

After lots of thought and research i kept coming back to thinking of it as a 'budget range' not a 'professional range' sorry Richard (Branson)

As its turned out i hardly do any facials what so ever IF I DID i would go for NIMUE without a shadow of a doubt - fantastic product - fantastic results.

I used to work for Virgin Vie (now called Virgin Cosmetics) and i think their products are lovely!

Hi

I've tried so many different care products and make up ranges throughout the years from cheap shops own brands to clarins and to be honest i always go back to virgin vie, for make up and skin care. It suits my skin and i love the make up.

I don't think it's fair to s**g off any products as we all have different skin and different needs form make up and skin care and so what suits one person will not suit the next.

I think you should look at what you want to offer your clients, if they're coming to you for treatments but going home and using some completely different products then i don't beleive it really makes all that much difference what you use, so long as your happy with it and you have a decent range.

You'll never be able to please every one with choices of this nature so just go with your gut.

Can i just ask, those of you that said Virgin Vie is just glorified avon - have you ever triued VV stuff for any great length of time?? just interested.

before i worked for virgin vie i worked at the body shop and thought that it was a take off of the body shop....in my first few months i still had this in the back of my mind as it was 3 directors from the body shop who helped to set up virgin vie (as told to me in my virgin training), over time they began to create their own identity and now, in my opinion, they are very different from both the body shop and avon.
