Virgin Vie Party

[meryll83]

Hi all,

I'm hosting a Virgin Vie party at my house in a few weeks time, and people keep telling me that the more my guests spend, the more commission I will get to spend, which sounds great!

Can anyone tell me how the commission works so I can start to figure out what to spend it on? I tried googling but I can only find a review from 2007 which says if over £75 is spent you get 15% commission of the total spend, is this still the same now for 2009?

Also, does anyone have any tips, this is the first party I've hosted? I know the VV rep will do most of the work, and people are going to bring their own drinks, so I just figured I'd buy some plastic cups to save the washing up and a few snacks to dot around the room and voila! I have around 15-18 of us in total, I didn't realise so many people would say yes, so it may be a squeeze in our living room, but I'm hoping the number will be okay!

I had one of these parties a few years ago when my friend''s Mum was a rep... I'm afraid I can't help in the way of commission info as it was quite a while ago, but we did just what you're describing... Make sure you have a table or similar in the room you're hosting in as the rep will probably use this to put the Virgin Vie goodies on! Also, you might need a chair... When I had my party they did a Make Up demo on someone (I got voted Guinea Pig! Lol!)...

Other than that, just enjoy sampling all the lovely goodies! I adore Virgin Vie... If you haven't already, try their one step face base- Its my favourite item of make up ever!!

I can't remember how much commision I got but not many people bought stuff but I was still able to get a necklace with it.

A table is a good idea to lay all the items out on. As you said some snacks, plastic cups and maybe a bottle of wine on hand in case anyone doesn't bring any and some soft drinks.

I went to one of these a few years ago and was the person who had the makeover, it was the worst makeover I have ever seen, I looked absolutely I still bought loads of stuff though and I really liked the makeup

 

[meryll83]

Ooh this is a good idea, tell me your recommendations for makeup etc, coz I'm not a girly girl and don't know these things!

I think I'm going to have a makeover, and if I like it I might use the rep to do my wedding make up for our at home reception...

Oh dear!! I really loved mine, so thats a shame!!

Meryll83, I love lots and lots of their eye products... I love the Eye Brightner pencil, the out of sight gel, eye boost cream eyeshadow, the out of the shadows eye cream thing (Can you tell I have eyebags!?)... I've already mentioned the one step face base (Its seriously amazing stuff!)...I also love the pure shine lipgloss ranges....

The bath smellies are also wonderful...

Bob is right, the face base is brilliant i also like the lip gloss.

I went to one years ago and there were only about 10 of us but the host ended up with LOADS of freebies.

Hope it goes well

Is the face base the one that looks like a compact?

I'm liking the look of that, a lip gloss that starts clear then changes colour according to the PH of your skin, a clear liquid eyeliner that you use in eyeshadow to customise the colour, and of course I want to look at my creams!

I have to fit 18 people in my living room (they ALL said yes!) so hopefully I'll be rewarded with some freebies!

Any other must-buys?

I love some of the Virgin Vie stuff but, unfortunately, it doesn't agree with my skin
