Fashion Fair and a Rash!

[Dido111]

I recently went to Macy's and purchased Fashion Fair coemetics. I bought three products. A foundation (I like), a moisturizer (Have not tried yet) and the skin bleaching creme /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif The Vantex Skin Bleaching Creme made me break out into a horrible rash! Do yall think I can return this and get a refund or credit?

Well, you may be able to. At least give a try to find out.

You should be able to return it. Usually department store brands have some sort of return policy. I returned products from Clinique and Prescriptives in the past.

[BronxDiva]

You can return it. I returned mine over the summer.

[Dido111]

Oh BronxDiva did you return the same product I am referring too or another cosmetic that you used? Also if I may ask how come you returned it? And do they give you money back or credit? I bought my cosemetics at the Fasion Fair counter at Macy's with a credit card. Thanks again for letting me know! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the info, Neeki!
Also did they give you a refund, credit, or exchange?

[neeki]

Dido111,

They were returns, but since Clinique and Prescriptives are both Estee Lauder companies, they probably have the same return policy.

I have really been on a rude rampage lately but I can't seem to stop.

I am very offended by fashion fair in london (Selfridges). I detest the way their counter looks so cheap in comparison to mac, bobbi brown, clinique and ester lauder.

I hate the packaging. I hate the staff on the counter and needless to say I have never bought a fashion fair product. Further to that, I DID complain about it and they wrote back saying that as fashion fair is targeted to black women, it makes a point to employ staff who are knowledgable about the product.

I was taken back here because I wasn't complaining about black staff, I was complaining about lazy uninterested staff. /forums/images/graemlins/swearing.gif Secondly, did someone beat the black off me that I went to fashion fair as a white woman? /forums/images/graemlins/swearing.gif /forums/images/graemlins/swearing.gif /forums/images/graemlins/swearing.gif

I do hate this company and I know my input can't be taken as criticism because I have nothing good to say about it which makes me biased.

londongirl 3,
i say the same thing. Also, the pigment in the products makes my skin ashy. I was not impressed by the samples i got, nor am i impressed by the ads in ebony - the model's faces are darker than their bodies!

hmmm mmmm mmm mmm... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif 'orrible, 'orrible stuff

I have tried Fashion Fair and hated it. The foundation had a reddish undertone that was all wrong for my skin and the fragrances in the products are so strong and made my skin break out.

Thanks for the information on Fashion Fair's Vantex cream.
I was going to buy it from your experience I'm glad I didn't. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey chollis718
No problem. I do though have sesnsitive skin. So if you also have sensative skin I would advise you not to use the vantex.(I bought mine and the GA mall on sunrise. I see your from around the way. I am in Laurelton 718).

I also bought foundation that now gives me a organgish looking tone. So I had to buy some drug store foundation to put over it and it doesn't look half bad. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gifoo: I would not buy their product again though. I will try the MAC since so many people have made wonderful comments about it.
Later.

Thank God I know about Vantex now, I was about to buy it at some point.
Yeah Fashion Fair can suck, they always have these lazy *** staff, but they have nice lipstick and the best lipliner ever, so... I guess I'll keep buying there!!
But avoid their skincare like plague.
