As a way to bring in a bit of spending money I sold cosmetics from Virgin Vie.
Yes. That Virgin.
The one owned by Richard Branson.
While I never got to meet The Man (that privilege was for the Top 20 sales people, my sales were only moderate), I loved the cosmetics and the products, even if they were a bit on the expensive side. To be fair though, they never, EVER, branded themselves as a budget brand.
Anyways...
This little quintet of 5ml polishes is from their (now discontinued) Renaissance Collection. It was a lovely collection of luxe-inspired colours that oozed decadence. They come in a cardboard box that slides out of its cover to reveal the polishes. Really pretty when displayed on my chest of drawers...
This is the best pic I could get of its purpley-black wonderfulness |
The other colours are Titan (Brown/purple odd colour), Crimson (a Shimmery Berry Red), Marble (a lovely subtle Pink with teeny-tiny silver glitter) and Ermine (A subtle silvery lilac).
Virgin Vie UK does some excellent cosmetics, even if they are on the moderate to expensive side. Their One-step Face base is excellent for Oily skinned gals (I was one and Loved this) and they do fantastic home-wares too. Wait for their frequent sales to bag a bargain though...
I plan on wearing all of these shades over the next few weeks so that I can re-live the memories associated with them, so look out for other posts as I will be looking for dupes :)
Happy New Year Peeps!
Great post, I've never tried Virgin Vie but think I'm going to look into it. That polish is lovely x
ReplyDeleteKnight'sEclectic - they have some really fab bits and bobs... but they can be on the pricy side. They do however last and absolute age so are worth the splurge :)
