What is happening with Vie at Home

97 replies

Calamityboo · 04/05/2012 15:08

I have never used S&B threads before, but you glam ladies are the ony people I can ask, what is happening to Vie at Home? I have been completely unable to get the OSFB for ages, and now the website is having a 'makeover' so I cant check if it is back in stock (though they did say they would e-mail when it was back in stock but have heart nothing). When I say ages, a good 2-3 months since they had any in stock and it is supposedly their best seller.

I neeeeeed to know what is happening as the osfb was the only thing I found to hide the spots, blemishes, hairy top lip and single eyebrow slight imperfections I have.

TIA

I've heard about a relaunch in June too, under another name though? Already been approached to consider becoming consultant again, and I'm thinking about it as I always did ok out of it if I'm honest!

Will let you know x

Calamityboo · 06/05/2012 23:05

Have you just got the one ivory? I'd love one if you have one spare, ta!

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 06/05/2012 23:13

Oops posted too soon - if there's no ivory I'll happily take the alabaster, please.

Calamityboo · 06/05/2012 23:18

I used to be a consultant and this was what I swapped too when I gave it up. Full price hurt too much after getting my discount and I found this very similiar.

Babylon1 · 07/05/2012 09:20

Will check for PMs in a minute, but I'm sure it will have done x

MrsMeow · 07/05/2012 16:45

Oh Babylon1, how much would you be looking for for the honey OSFB please? X

MrsMeow · 07/05/2012 16:49

Sorry, just seen where you said the price Blush I'm definitely interested though - I've been struggling to find it as well so switched to MAC which is close but no cigar!

lunamoon · 07/05/2012 17:10

I didn't know they had gone into receivership either. I used to be a consultant too!

Babylon1 · 07/05/2012 18:47

Hi mrs meow, if you want it's yours, just pm with address details and I'll post tmrw!!

MrsMeow · 07/05/2012 19:41

Oh thanks so much! Am on phone at the min but will PM as soon as I get home, will be ASAP :)

Babylon1 · 07/05/2012 19:43

No worries!! If you pm before tmrw afternoons school run, it'll be posted tmrw Wink

MrsMeow · 07/05/2012 20:13

Just sent one now :)

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 07/05/2012 22:13

Hi Babylon, I PM'd you earlier, just checking you got it?

addictediam · 07/05/2012 22:27

Vv annoyed me when they stopped doing alabaster liquid foundation i found the osfb just didn't feel the same on :(

Babylon1 · 08/05/2012 13:27

Calamity, MrsMeow & HalfSpam, just to say I've sent your OSFBs out today to you.

They've come from my VV consultants book for faces, so no original packaging as they were sat in a display case type thing. I've bubble wrapped and sellotaped them up to within an inch of their little lives!! Look out for a little pink parcel arriving in the next day or two, and if you're happy with them when you've got them, please paypal me as per the PM I sent to you all this morning!

As I said before, I really cannot abide the prices being charged on eBay right now for the same thing, I find it quite offensive actually that people are prepared to rip others off for their own gains :(

If I do come across any more of them I'll post up here in S&B first - I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I may find a soft beige one for me, but in the meantime, I'll just sulk that you ladies will have pretty, smooth, imperfection free faces, while I'm sitting here with crows feet, eye bags that I could get a weeks' shopping in and a complexion that duller than dishwater!!

Ah the joys of being sleep deprived thanks to a 12 day old NB!!!! :o

Hi, Dont suppose anybody has any more OSFB in honey left by any chance?

Babylon1 · 09/05/2012 18:15

Sorry cuckoo, I still have a caramel one which has never been used, but I think that's it for me Sad
Still haven't found any soft beige for myself Sad
