Got my box and it's a real LMdB product. 
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />It's lipsticks again but made for the VIP program and in the classic LMdb silver bullet packaging.
SInce I can never have enough lipsticks I am happy with it.
The shades are really nice and different then the colors they have been sending out.
Emerge - is a rosy pink that is very wearable
Burnished - a soft bronze with a touch of peach. I like it and don't have a lippie like it.
They were designed to be layered together or worn alone according to the
info card that came in the box. So thumbs up for an info card also.
I am wearing both of them now and they feel very hydrating.

I agree with you. It feels like a completely different company than what it was.Thanks @@LisaLeah for the spoiler- Im so glad that your happy
It's really a shame.
I am ok with this month, mostly because I feel like we got an authentic product.
Which is ridiculous...we should always get an authentic product!

I got mind today. The lipstick colors are very pretty and colors I will wear. I am disappointed that this is the 3 box that had lip products. I would like to try their other products so I hope we get some variety in the boxes for the rest of the subscription.

I feel the same way--- can you tell me if the lipsticks have frost in them? If yes, mine are going up for swap. I love the (3) mini lipsticks from PS last month- those are totally my kinda colors.
They look to have a frost to them especially the bronze one. The pink one looks more like a flat cream with just a little shimmer. I haven't swatched them yet it's just my observation from looking at them.
Agree. There is no frost in the rosy/ pink. But the bronze has a frost to it.
I like the 3 mini lipsticks from PS as well. I'm kind of worried about getting these. I hope they will work.

I'm sorry to rain on anyone's parade if you enjoy this month buy this subscription has become a joke. Yet ANOTHER month of a peachy beige and a bright pink. This is the same as last month, which is the same as the two pink/coral peach lip crayons, which is the same as the two stupid lip glosses. It's wintertime!!! Seriously. Id try to swap it but there areally no takers. This used to be my favorite brand but now I question all of their products. I literally cannot wait until this year is over. What an absolute disappointment. They have lost a serious and loyal customer, but they clearly do not care. Resubscribe for next year? Hell, no. Not a chance.

I am right there with you. I used Le Metier before this sub and have participated from box 1. I am no longer a le Metier customer in the sub or out of the sub, once this year ends. I am surprised we haven't recieved mascara, cheek tints, or the glow mask/peel. I know they are expensive but they were holy grails for me. I moved myself to Guirlaine. I am very unhappy with the direction this has gone and it will take A LOT for me to return as a customer. So disappointed because they used to be a very personal touch kind of company and that's what I liked about it.
I am definitely disappointed too with this sub. So may lip products is not my idea of trying out products from a brand that has so many things that it could send out. That gold liquid luminiizer we got, it separates in the container when it sits. Mine turns white at the top 1/2 inch of the bottle with the gold settling at the bottom. This would suggest it is not a well formulated product. I don't want to use it anymore.
I will not subscribe again unless these last 6 months improve dramatically. There better be some "wow" products coming, or I am out.

Mine too! I was disappointed to see that. It definitely doesn't give me the impression of a high-end product like I thought this line/products would be like. I can't picture this product being sold at Neiman Marcus.
I used it a few times last month and picked it up the other day and thought, "yuk". It just looks gross all separated like that

Actually, what is happening is that this VIP program is making me think the 'real' brand of Le Metier de Beaute is actually going downhill. By them skirting costs and producing low end items to satisfy the program, I now think that the products in the high end shops must also be cutting corners. Like the whole brand has gone downhill. Why did they even open up this program again? The first few times were to raise awareness. I don't think this is the type of awareness they were trying to raise. There is no feedback option. only this time was there some sort of descriptor. Baffling...

I don't believe the luminizer was ever sold as a stand alone product, but there was one in another shade that was a GWP at one of the department stores.
Regarding product separation, I have a Giorgio Armani liquid blush that separates when it sits for a long time. I can't say it made me think it was poorly formulated, but just the nature of the ingredients used. What I do wish LMdB would do consistently with the products sent in the VIP program is include an ingredients list. Sometimes they do, most times they don't. I like to see what I'm putting on my face/body, plus it at least gives me a ballpark idea on the quality/uniqueness of the product.
I am disappointed as well with another month of lip products. I was under the impression that LMdB had brought Dustin Lujan back to LMdB (per a post from the Best in Beauty blog http://bestthingsinbeauty.blogspot.com/2015/06/le-metier-de-beaute-is-back-brand-is.html), and I believe he was supposed to curate the VIP program.
I do get the impression that the brand has been slipping and losing traction with it's base market for a while (hence bringing Dustin Lujan back), some of whom were none to happy when LMdB started the VIP subscription program to start with. They thought it cheapened the image of the brand. From my recollection LMdB's stated purpose with the program, in the first year at least, was to reward faithful customers by giving them access to products both old and new at a deeply discounted price. I never thought that was a sustainable model in the long run, and what we may be seeing with them developing products strictly for VIP now is a step down in quality from the core line products in an effort to reign in cost. Pure speculation on my part, but given I cannot see how they will make a profit on the VIP program if they include only core line products, it makes sense to me.
I also thought it was rather strange that they started with the kaleidoscope 3 month subscription and then scrapped it within a year or so. I purchased the last iteration and got 3 eye kaleidoscopes (all very nice), but they had originally said it would be a face/eye/lip coordinated trio. No explanation was given and they never offered that subscription again. Also, I think it's interesting that the Beauty Vault site no longer features bundled sets like they used to. Who knows, maybe that's an indication they are doing better with in store sales and do not have to entice people with value priced bundles.

One of mine does... Sounds/feels like a weight came loose in it... Ugh I'm so upset that I signed up this year and I don't think it's going to get better... So sad after the first 2 years being so amazing! Has anyone thought about contacting their card company to see if anything can be done?
