Vine Vera

BUYER BEWARE!!! Consumers this is a rip-​off!!! The sales people lie, cheat, and steal your money.
Vine Vera is a kiosk on the lower level in Park Meadows Mall, Lone Tree, CO, but they also have a very glitzy store called Forever Flawless on the second floor.
The sales pitch starts when a young handsome swarthy male shoves some little sample pack of lotion. Then he cleverly drags you into a chair to get a «free» application of some lotion that «instantly» removes your eye wrinkles. These men must be professionally trained to determine your weaknesses and «tells.» They know how to flatter you, make you comfortable, and then rip you off.
The anti wrinkle product costs $ 400!!! Yes, that’s what I said, $ 400. When you balk at the price, he throws in a skin scrub. You still complain about the price; he then throws in a face scrub. You tell him that you can’t afford it. Finally, he adds a tube of body lotion. Well, now you feel as though you’ve received a «deal»…4 «high end» products for $ 400.
After making that purchase, he tells you that since you’re now a «preferred customer», you can receive a FREE 30 – 60 minute facial that will remove all wrinkles and sagging skin… including the sagging skin under your chin and neck area (and we all know that sagging skin can’t be repaired unless you have surgery). He walks you up to their sister store, Forever Flawless, which looks like it belongs in Las Vegas… crystals, sparkles, lights, oh my!!! Now you have about 3 – 4 people all over you telling you how much better you’d look after the free facial with some alleged skin expert who can do wonders with their products and his expertise. By this time, you’ve had it; you’re regretting that $ 400 purchase; and, you’re becoming extremely suspicious. You tell them that you can’t get the facial because it’s late, and you have to get home. Now, they begin to say, «what’s more important to you, your dogs or your skin?» What? Then the swarthy salesman who conned you out of $ 400 takes you aside and says, «Mr. Expert really likes you. He’s only going to be in town until tomorrow at noon. You better take this opportunity, because you won’t get another chance.» Like I really care by this time. Mr. Expert is getting exasperated since I won’t commit to an appointment. I walk out with no appointment and my bag of $ 400 worth of «something.»
When I got home, I did some research on this company and product. OMG!!! Yes, indeed, «there’s a sucker born every minute.» And, I must confess I’m one at this point on this product. I don’t ever buy without doing my homework. I don’t know what happened to me that day? My «tell» must have been a look of exhaustion on my face and a slower gait from aching feet. Also, I’m a senior citizen, so they saw me coming. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!
If you research this company on the Internet, you will find a plethora of NEGATIVE reviews about the company and the products, and this sales pitch is used ALL over the world to con people out of their hard earned money. This company and it’s sales people should be ashamed of themselves and their tactics. The products are useless and have no benefit. Oil of Olay does just as good. Oh, BTW, you can NOT RETURN any items… not used or unused!!! So, if you’re allergic to their products, you’re out of luck and cash!!! Nordstrom’s they are NOT!!!
I’m shocked that Park Meadows would allow such con people into their mall.
My only consolation to all this is: «Karma’s a B*&%H. You reap what you sow. What goes around comes around.»
