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

Hi Babylon, my alabaster arrived today, it's fab thank you.

Babylon1 · 11/05/2012 15:45

Hi ladies, thank you for your swift payments, much appreciated, and I hope you've all received your OSFBs safely!!

Happy beautifying!!!!

They have gone into receivership with £30 of my money!

molschambers · 11/05/2012 19:53

The official line is that all orders will be honoured. I'm not so sure myself tbh (ex-consultant being kept in the loop by my former manager) but that is what consultants are being told. Have been told that outstanding orders have arrived in UK from Germany but are being held by courier company until all outstanding debts are paid. There has been a major amount of bullshit coming from HQ over the last few months so I'll believe it when I see it.

The plan is to launch a new company selling a much smaller range of existing products (OSFB being one of them) on the 17th of this month.

Babylon1 · 12/05/2012 08:58

Ooh molschambers that sounds exciting Smile

I have heard about a relaunch under s new name but not until June time, in the meantime, I'm more interested in doing Jamie at Home Wink

No innuendo intended!! Told about it yesterday and have a meeting about it on Monday!! Only £25 start up too Grin

marvid · 12/05/2012 15:36

This lot used to make me so angry with their condescending attitudes towards customers and consultants (esp. regarding why products were OOS for so long), that coupled with a useless manager made me bin it quite quickly in 2010. Now everything becomes clear, it was just a front as they couldn't pay their suppliers ........... feel sorry for the people in Stockton who lost their jobs though, but not for some of the others within the company. Nice bedding products though that will last for ever and were defo worth the money.

Hi ladies, not sure if this thread is still going, I was just googling to see if there was any news on Vie at Home as I'm desperate to get hold of the Virgin 925 Silver ring 'Haute Couture Pearl" (the pearl fell off mine) - they had it in the sale for £5, and then when I next logged on the website was a holding page Sad

I used to work for the company that made the catalogues for Virgin Vie and we got loads of samples from photoshoots, am happy to dig around and see what I've got in a box under my bed if anyone is still interested? As with the ex-demo stuff some of you've got from parties, some of this has been used for models at photoshoots but some is brand new and untouched.

MummyAnnabella · 24/07/2012 22:08

Oh hello funny I found this thread by coincidence a few days ago when trying to find one step face base online and then saw again today! Must be fate and that you have an ivory or (even a honey) under your bed! Fingers crossed!

cazbo71 · 28/07/2012 19:49

Does anyone have any Ivory - just running out and had no idea about the liquidation :0(

emsibub · 29/07/2012 21:41

Babylon, I'm honey, would you sell? I'd buy the lot! Being searching for months for a decent replacement but nothing's matching up...Blush

Mine are all gone now Sad

Sorry ladies x

I just posted on another VV S&B thread and thought I'd put it here too for anyone struggling to get OSFB. I've had trouble getting the OSFB and got fed up of having to hunt it down (don't have the time or the inclination I'm afraid) so now I use the BodyShop version and I love it.

emsibub · 04/08/2012 14:37

Currently not available Sad I'll keep an eye out at on their website, been looking for a replacement for a whole. What colour body shop are you in comparison to what you were in vVie?
