Votre Vu Offers Luxury French Skincare at Affordable Prices

French skincare brands have long been known for meticulous use of active botanical ingredients, über-decadent formulas and luxurious aromas.

But, since they're mostly sold in high-end stores and fancy spas, they've also been known for their steep price tags.

Votre Vu is looking to change that by offering luxury French skincare at affordable prices, without compromising quality. How, you ask? By forgoing the traditional retail outlets for online sales and direct selling via Votre Vu consultants. These methods help them keep costs down, which means a lower selling price.

So for instance, last year a comparable French skincare brand launched a night cream that currently retails for over $700, while Votre Vu Perfect Night Regenerating Anti-Age Night Crème is $69.

Votre Vu uses a family-run, custom-blending skincare manufacturer in France (that also happens to work with several fancy-pants European brands) that's been making luxury skincare for over 80 years and has access to the best ingredients from around the world.

They offer an extensive range of skin, body and hair products, and several innovative niche products like Tragic Magic (a cream for people with hyper-sensitive skin, eczema or rosacea), Le Sorbet (an anti-aging serum you keep in the freezer to preserve the potent marine collagen and vegetable peptides) and Ten Gauge (a natural energy drink with sea buckthorn to increase libido).

The company is also finding that with unemployment percentages at a high, women are jumping on the direct-selling train and becoming consultants, which offers flexible hours and a low financial commitment.

"Our consultants do not need to retain inventory or deliver products," said CEO Harold Zimmerman in a statement. "And with the growing segment of online sales, consultants can sell to an indefinite number of people they don't even know."

Plus, consultants get to throw parties at their house where friends come over for cocktails and play with beauty products.

Not a bad Friday night!

Hi Courtney,

Thank you for the wonderful review of the Votre Vu products and business.

As a founding consultant with the company, I have been using the products for over a year and have seen quite an improvement in my skin. Baby bottom soft sums it up nicely - lol!

We offer many of of our products as samples so our clients can try them in the privacy of their homes or during personal consultations with a Brand Ambassador.
If anyone is interested in trying some, I'd be happy to help.

If you would like to read more about what makes us different, please visit my blog at http://www.windycityglow.com. Although not a skin care professional, I consider educating myself a top priority.

A Votre Sante,
Traci

GREAT review! I am an esthetician (12 years) and a Votre Vu founding consultant as well. It has changed the skin of MANY of my clients. So many of them are so pleased with it and it has actually cured many of their issues that they thought they could never get rid of.

Amazing products and better than ANY I have used professionally. Any questions about our products, or your skin, that you may have, I would love to answer them for you. waxxy1@yahoo.com and my website is www.votrevu.com/ForTheLoveOfSkin

Sincerely,

Thank you for such a fab VU lous review of our products. Les Sorbet is one of my favorites and it won a Shecky's best in beauty award for best Serum in 2009.

Being on the +side of 50, I have tried so many anti-aging lines, but the results I have seen with Votre Vu are truly worthy of compliments! It is so nice to hear, "you do not look 5?!
I am a Founding Brand Ambassador as well and welcome readers to contact me for samples suited to their skin types or our specialty lines.
Welcome to the new face of beauty in town.
