Devoted Creations

Any one use Devoted creations lotions and if so what are some popular ones and how do they compare to designer skin and cal tan. I have been using using cal tan and now started to use more designer skin bc customer seem to like the designer skin better. Anyway thinking about switching to devoted creations and looking for some feed back.

Re: Devoted Creations

I am not a huge fan of Designer Skin. The product consistency is all over. I used a bottle of 14k Gold and at $74 retail one should not have the strong urge to shower after using it. Most products in that price range have enough after-tan ingredients to reduce that "gross" feeling and after-tan smell.

California tan is more consistent, but the high end products still seemed over-priced.

So with that thought in my head I searched around like you. Devoted came up a lot so after much delay I brought it in. First a couple bottles then the entire main line. Now I have almost everything they make.

Even the "cheapest" DC product, Praise and Serenity, dont leave tanners with an after-tan scent. That alone makes it an easier sell. They are also aloe vera gel based lotion, not water. Again, something clients love.

So I brought the line-up in with a huge success. So much so its the center line.

Seeking Serenity: Very popular. Our number one seller of ANY bottle, and at $42 per bottle!
Praise: Also very popular, sells right behind Serenity. ($42)
Glory: This is a level 2, perfect for more advanced or older clients. ($52)
Needing Nirvana: Nice neutral smell for both guys and girls. ($56)
Unity: DHA free bronzer. Again a very clean neutral smell thats perfect for anyone. Its appears to be heavy with cosmetic bronzers but does not come off much on clothing. ($46)
Vision: DHA bronzers and smells like fresh sugar cookies. The smell turns off some people.
Tryst: Smells really strong. Like cocoanuts gone bad. We sell just a few and plan to clear it out altogether.
Trinity3: Smells like pure tingle. We cleared it out long ago.

These are the "silicone blends":
Devoted to Couture: Great clean smell with bronzers. The price point of $66 turns a few off but it sells well.
Haute Couture: The men seem to prefer this one. Sorta like a musk/sandalwood scent.

We never brought in the $100+ top line so I cant comment on those.

The organic line is also a HUGE hit. They are similar to the main line in many way. Sky and Harmony are the top sellers.

I am VERY glad I brought in DC. People get great results and love how their skin feels. Everyone who has used it buys another DC product.

Re: Devoted Creations

we sell the organic line and every one likes it. if you have a market for it, the supreme power and elegance are awesome. it is not as high as mon amie and with love, but still pricy. however, if they bought a sample, they bought the bottle. we had the main line last year and golden grace was a big seller, but had some people bringing it in from ebay, so we dropped the main line.

Re: Devoted Creations

Oh, I forgot about Golden Grace. Sample it before buying. Smells like old lady who has been in a retirement home for the pat tens years and only leaves for Bingo night when her friend Bard stops by with the wheel-chair equip lift gate minivan.

Re: Devoted Creations

We stock Devoted to Couture, Trinity3, Mon Ame, and With Love. Devoted and Trinity are two of our best sellers. Price point on Mon Ame and With Love limit their appeal.

Re: Devoted Creations

I haven't tried Devoted Creations before (Other than Pure Sky) and am thinking about ordering a few products of theirs.

How is their Haute Couture, and Colors of Unity lotion ?

I don't know about that.Speed of Light is impossible to keep on the shelf.

Devoted to couture and Golden grace are good sellers.

Re: Devoted Creations

I've been using DS Black recently and I'm not happy with their new products. I'm about half way into my bottle of Black. Their lotion didn't used to make me want to take a shower soon after tanning. It doesn't seem to absorb into my skin.

I'd love to hear some opinions on Haute Couture and Colors of Unity.

Re: Devoted Creations

I use Unity. Like is a lot, not my fav, but I try everything. It has no DHA (I hate DHA) and it is heavy on the cosmetic bronzers, but nothing that really rubs off.
