Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...told me that she used Virgin Vie’s One Step Face Base and got it out of her make up bag for me to try. One application and I was convinced…..so now allow me to convince you…. ONE STEP FACE BASE Virgin Vie’s One Step Face Base is just that – one sweep of this and you’re done – fully made up and ready to go! Basically it is foundation and powder all rolled into one handy little container. Much like the entire Virgin Vie range the packaging is stylish ...
...Base contains Liquorice Extract which Virgin Vie claim will soothe your skin. I have no reason to disbelieve this, as I have found that rather than clogging my pores, it has maintained my skin’s condition, and *possibly* improved it slightly. It has certainly had no detrimental effect on my skin, which I think is most important otherwise you could find yourself stuck in the vicious circle of wearing foundation to cover spots that were caused by foundation, ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...me! So out comes the Virgin Vie One Step Face Base which I replenished in January as my old one had run out after two years of winter month usage! ~ Price and Availability ~ This is currently £14 for a 12g compact but the beauty of it is that once you have the compact and the base runs out you can buy a refill for £11, which is what I have just done. You can get this: * At a Virgin Vie party night * Online at www.virgincosmetics.com * At a ...
...quite a few of the Virgin Vie foundations, it all depends on what mood I'm in on which one I choose to wear. I have found all of them to be of excellent quality and well worth the money, especially since this one cost £14 and lasted for 2 years. Here's hoping the refill lasts the same length of time. ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...natural looking finish, then The Virgin Vie One Step Face Base is a must. Combining a foundation and powder together into the one compact pressed powder makes application simple, quick and very easy. I'm not really a great make-up lover but let's face it there are just some days when you really can't leave the house without it and, if like me, you don't always have very much time to apply make-up then you might find the Virgin Vie One Step Face Base ...
...Virgin Vie One Step Face Base comes as a compact power. Packaged in a very stylish, shiny, deep blue transparent compact with the trademark "V" just visible through the slightly domed lid of the compact. The compact is easily opened by pressing and releasing a small catch on the front. The inside of the lid is a mirror, a must for those little touch-ups when out and about. The pressed powder again has the trademark "V" embossed into it, giving it ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...I bought this from Virgin Vie for £14.25. It comes in a lovely blue compact with a mirror and sponge! Fits great in your handbag. It comes in several shades; Alabaster Ivory Soft Beige Honey Caramel Sable The only thing I would say is that it doesn't come in any colours for dark skin. Which is a shame as it is a great foundation base! The refil base comes in all the above colours and costs £11.25. The refil slots right in and is ready to ...
...the rest). If not Virgin Vie sell make-up sponges for £3.25. This foundation will siut any type of skin. I have very dry skin and usually find most foundations, even liquid ones show up my dry skin even more! Not this one though! Value for money: Great (considering it has the same effects as a liquid + powder + consealer combined, saving you money). Texture: Lovely and light, not heavy or stodgy. Fragrance: A slight sweet scent. Lasting: Good, ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

Virgin Vie Cosmetics has become a huge name in the cosmetic world. Another company that Richard Branson has produced and a very successful business venture from a man! I attended my first Virgin Vie party about 3 years ago, with the warning that I would love the products! I have also been to a Virgin Vie shop which I found to be my second heaven…… Like most women, I try various options when it comes to make-up – and as a result I have a make-up ...
...made my first order of Virgin Vie products I decided to give the One Step Face Base a try - a combined powder and foundation all in one. As I said, I had used many similar products in the past but never found a foundation that was right shade for my skin tone and also one that didn’t dry my skin out after a time. I chose the shade recommended to me (Ivory) by the party consultant and trusted her judgement. When my order arrived it was like Christmas ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...just before Christmas was the Virgin Vie Party phenomenon. When I received my invitation I was a little apprehensive as I had been told that the products were very expensive. Against my better judgement I arrived at the party armed with a bottle of wine ........and my cheque book. The living room was crammed with ladies excitedly flicking through the Virgin Vie catalogues pointing at several products nudging each other asking " Have I to get that ...
...try as all the other Virgin Vie party regulars recommended it very highly. There were 6 shades available, alabaster, ivory, soft beige, honey, caramel, and sable. I opted for soft beige as I thought that it would provide the most natural effect. I wrote out a cheque for £13.50 and was told by the lovely virgin vie lady that it would arrive within a week. True to her word the party hostess delivered my one step face base within a week as promised. ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

Vie At Home (formally Virgin Vie Cosmetics, Virgin Vie At Home) One Step Face Base is an all in one powder foundation. Vie claim that one is sold every two minutes!! It is by far their best selling all in one foundation. It is available in compact (£15) and refill £11.50). The compact case colour is seasonal, they have had red and gold in previous Christmases, but is generally a dark blue colour with a ‘V’ logo on the outer case and the classic ...
...no longer part of the Virgin empire, since Branson sold the company. The lid of the compact holds a mirror and under the powder itself is a little stow for the face sponge which is provided with the compact only (not when you purchase a refill). The powder foundation whether in the original compact or as a refill is 12g. I have been using this foundation for nearly 5 years since I first discovered what was then Virgin Vie Cosmetics. I have to say ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...it's about £14 from the Virgin Vie website, and then when it runs out you can just buy the refill for about £11 off the same website which just slots into the same container. It's also a very reasonable price, it's expensive to some people when compared to some foundations you find in the high street, although works loads better and in comparison to the whole make up market this is actually very cheap for what it does! I use it once in the morning ...
...one because it has the Virgin Vie logo embedded in the powder and I like watching it slowly fade (as sad as that sounds!) The sponge that comes with this is also the best sponge I've ever used with a foundation, it doesn't end up drying out and flaking or anything, and it also doesn't absorb too much of the foundation either. I've been using the same sponge for ages now and it hasn't gotten worn out and tatty at all. But overall this foundation ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...already bought it at a Virgin Vie party and I have to say that i have been really impressed with it! The product, although on first appearances looks like a powder compact, should be used instead of your usual foundation.I really like using it as it is very quick and easy - much better than traditional foundation creams - and I am able to apply it smoothly all over my face with no smears. It's appearance is very much like a traditional pancake and ...
...you also don't need to apply face powder over the top. The actual face base within the compact costs about £14 but you can buy refills for about £11. I've always bought mine at Virgin Vie parties although I expect they can also be obtained directly through Virgin Vie. ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...go into any of the Virgin Vie cosmetic stores, they will find the colour that will match your skin tone for you ,just ask one of the shop assistants. The texture of the powder is so fine, and feels like silk when applied to your skin. The hidden compartment underneath the powder contains an application sponge that comes with the compact. They are extremely soft, and even better, dont absorb ridiculous amounts of the powder, which means hardly any ...
...is that you appy it once, and thats all you need for the day! There is no fuss about becoming shiny, or the make-up wearing off. Its expensive, but try it and you'll understand why. When the powder runs out, dont throw away the compact! Instead, you can buy refills for £11, saving you £4.50 from if you bought a whole new compact. On the other hand, if its a new sponge you are after, they also sell those separately for £3. ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

This gives a gorgeous finish and lasts for ages. Really easy to put on and a really compact design with integrated mirror and seperate compartment for the sponge. The sponge does get a bit grubby after a while but can be easily washed out or you can just buy a new one for about £2.50. There are 5 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find one that suits your skin tone. They may look quite expensive but it's money worth spending ...
...these is that if you are a more mature lady, it canmake any wrinkles or fine lines look more prominent as it is more of a powdery finish than a nice dewy one. Watch out for the special edition ones - they are absolutely gorgeous. I've got this in a stunning red design and also a gold colour. These have just been repackaged and look lovely!! ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...I went to a friends virgin vie at home party. The sales representative showed me the product and explained what it was and did. At a first glance the foundation is in a very attractive compact case. Over the years I have had about 4 different coloured cases, all of a very attractive design. The great thing about the foundation is that once you have bought the original foundation in the case for £15.00 you can then just buy the refill foundations ...
...new one just fits in. Really quick and easy. The product comes in 6 different shades. The foundation itself is very easy to use. You can either use it on top of a liquid base foundation which I personally do as I suffer from fairly dry skin, so therefore it looks better with a liquid base. Otherwise on normal skin conditions I think that it would work just as well as the main, and only base. It also comes with a soft rounded sponge. As you sweep ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

...the foundation she used - Virgin Vie One Step Face Base. I have to admit that although I had heard about the Virgin Vie cosmetic range I knew nothing about the foundation. My friend ordered me online the Ivory One Step Face Base for me to try for just under £15. I was a little concerned that the price was a little more than I really wanted to pay but I figured that if it was as good as she said it was, I was willing to pay it! The Face Base arrived ...
...was totally - and I still am! - amazed by it. I have only ever used a liquid foundation so to find that the foundation was a powder was a little surprising. Before I put the foundation on I could see that the shade was perfect for me so I was very happy on that score. My only reservation was that as it was a powder would it give me the coverage that i was used to with the liquid foundations? I needn't have worried! The foundation went on effortlessly ...

Review of Virgin Vie One Step Face Base

WOW what can I say. Having been on a massive hunt for a foundtion for my sisters wedding we stumbled across vurgin vie. With no shops in northern Ireland we had a consultant visit. The fondation comes in a compact that is handbag sized and I have to say pretty robust - many have been smashed all over my handbag before. With a seperate compartment for the application sponge it keeps the natural oil from your skin which ends up on the sponge away ...
...causes the hard bits that occur). The foundation its self goes on like a dream, very evenly with minimum effort. And for someone which naturaly oily skin it has great staying power (any one with oily skin will know how easily make up can slide off). Although it is slightly expensive it does last a good few months and in my opinion is wirth it. And once you buy the compact you can buy a refil which is onl £11!! Also for anyone who is going to mail ...
