Le Metier De Beaute Beauty Vault VIP - Spoilers

[Shauna999]

As of this morning, mine is just "label created" mode.

Are they holding them until we renew for another year, LOL,

Seriously, they need to ship them already, they are late this month

:laughing:  That's funny.... but scary. Mine is still in label created status also. I wonder if they need people to join to pay for this month's "specially made for VIP" item.

I'm hoping it's because they are trying to come up w/ something that is so amazing - that it will drive up sales on their VIP program (or so they think).  That's where my head is on this delay

It's about time. Makes sense that they upped their game while trying to get subscribers for next year. How do you like the kaleidoscope? 

 

[Shauna999]

Yay!!!!! This sounds fabulous /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Really pretty...I'm still on the fence about re-signing up for my 3rd year though

Thanks so much for posting @@LindaF! Looks beautiful. Can't wait! Glad to see they are making it better.

Thank you for sharing the photo. Looks yummy. I understand your reluctance. They will have to really dazzle me in order for me to sign up for a 3rd year. 

 

[LoveSkinCare]

So glad to see we are getting a kalidescope. That was something I wanted to receive during this subscription. Mine is still sitting at label created so who knows when I will get mine.

 

[tazdvil]

Pretty! So glad to see that coming.

 

[boxesandboxes]

yay. sounds like something for named around coachella (bohemia)

Received mine this morning!  The 1st and 3rd shadows are shimmers and apply like butter - great pigmentation.  The 2nd and 4th shadows are matte/satin and the 2nd one is the least pigmented of the four but can be built up nicely.  I think it could work well as a blush also.  Happy to have another eye kaleidoscope!

 

[Geek2]

Beautiful colors! Thank you so much for the swatches @@Lulubelle107!!

I have a theory (pure speculation) as to why the VIP program was so up and down this year.  I remember at the beginning of the year it was announced that makeup artist Dustin Lujan had rejoined LMdB and would be overseeing the VIP program.  He recently left LMdB again to launch his own makeup line with partner/designer Victor de Souza, and the launch featured lipsticks only https://www.victordesouzany.com/collections/victor-de-souza-beauty.  Remember how we kept getting month after month of lip products?  Hmm.....

That doesn't explain the products that were clearly not LMdB exclusives like the palette from the 1st month, but the last 4 months of the program have been really good, IMO.  I don't know when Dustin left and if he was just half-assing it because he was preoccupied with launching his own line, but the timing of the upswing seems to be when he left LMdB.  Again, pure speculation, but I'm guessing there was stuff going on behind the scenes that negatively impacted the program.  Notice how that recent email said that Global Director of Color Ivan Castro was developing new colors for the 2016-17 program?  Sounds like they are trying to correct course.

I also think LMdB is still trying to figure out how to not lose money on the VIP subscription plan. It can't be a money maker for them.

Received mine today and it is beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice... It's buttery and wearable. I'm excited to give it a try tomorrow.

 

[Geek2]

I received mine too and the shades are so pretty! Can't wait to play with this tomorrow.
