Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

Has anyone used the Squeeze line?

The owner purchased from them once, and the bottles sat on our shelves for so long!!!!
The lotions are pretty good, but a little pricey. The Acaiberry was a big hit around our salon, but we never ordered again because the rest of the line wasn't that great. Now we're thinking about bringing it back to try their new lotion Mangosteen. Has anyone tried it? It the same price as DS Black and Phoenician. Don't know if its worth it. Any Feed Back would be great. thank you.

Re: Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

we carry the squeeze line. haven't tried that one. We sell Lime n dacoconut alot and the acai berry. Not much dream shock or black berry smoothie. We reduced the prices on this stuff to around 60-70 bones and it seems to sell. I don't think anything will sell if it's black priced. Oh yeah banana cream sold pretty well also.

I carry the Squeeze line and have tried the new Mangosteen. Packaging is nice but didn't like the results. Much better response and results from the Banana Creme, Acaiberry and Lime n da Coconut. Wouldn't recommend carrying it. I"m finding right now I have to take a loss even though it's very slow right now and reduce it down to get it out. Not going to be a season seller with that lotion.

See if the disty will give you a couple of free samples for you and your staff or clients to try. Seeing as its a brand new lotion they just might if they think they will get a sale out of it.

I know Acai Berry and Lime n da Cocunut are really good accelerators, so I would expect Mangosteen to be the same quality. (Its a bronzer right?) I love how all the ingredients are colour coded on the back of the bottles.

Although I've heard the distys for Squeeze are really annoying and call you constantly. Not sure if this is still true though. Maybe they have chilled out a bit.

Re: Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

mangosteen is similar to the tangerine line that was discountinued
i think it smells better & seems to work well.
but personally i have found that the squueze lotions scent seems to sell it or not more.
ie if they don't like bannanas they run or that smells yummy i'll take it.

Re: Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I think we might just pass on bringing that line back. I tried to get them to send packets, but its almost impossible. They sent us sample packets once and that when we brought the line in, but they also gave us a 30 days to return the products if they didn't sell and that never happened. I don't want to waste our time on a product that's not that great. If the lotions were priced lower I think it would be worth it, but at the price your just not getting what you pay for.

It is impossible to get them to quit calling. I swear they are on my TOP 5 most annoying, will you stop calling, I am NOT going to purchase from you, so please please stop calling lotion companies.

Re: Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

I am looking to add a couple of great bronzers in the mid range... What lotions have been doing well for you?

Looking for something with a good shelf presence, nice smell and great colour result.

Thanks!

Re: Squeeze Mangosteen lotion??

We carry Squeeze right now. Acai Berry is our best seller of the line, followed by Lime'n da Coconut. I'm not a fan of Mangosteen because it turns your hands orange if you're not careful to wipe it off well (which customers never do, even when told to do so - plus, it's not exactly a great selling point).

Goji Juice, on the other hand, is excellent. We just got it in so I've been trying to build buzz, though it is rather expensive. I would recommend Goji Juice over Mangosteen.

Haha duh! Thats so silly of them. Its a bronzer with loads of dha in it!

Anytime I use a dha bronzer I use wet wipes all over my palms and in between my fingers. No orangies for me.

I love Mangosteen and Lime n da Coco and Acai too. Haven't tried Goji yet, but it sounds great.
