Le Metier De Beaute Beauty Vault VIP - Spoilers

[Antidentite]

This is kind of crazy, but I signed up (when the extra spots opened up) and then sent them a message that I wanted to cancel.  I was kind of shocked by the lack of confirmation of my order or a welcome email or well, anything.  It's weird to me that they aren't sending out tracking numbers also.  I guess I wish that there was a little bit more information about the subscription.  I also think that two creme eyeshadows sent out a month after many people received  eyeshadows was kind of lame.  I think a few polishes in nice fall colors would have been better for this month, or something no one has received yet. 

The whole company kind of weirds me out I guess, and their lack of advertisement.  I guess I don't understand why their products are worth more than everyone elses.

My attempt with this month's product:

Spoiler

Starry Night with Urban Decay's Asphalt on top - looks a bit patchy up close but can't really tell unless you're violating my space

.  I used Champagne Shimmer as an inner eye highlighter and underneath my lower lash line. 



I'm about to leave for a lunch meeting, hoping I don't have transfer to my upper lid at the end of that.  I figured I'd better go subtle in case it turned into a hot mess.


I also used Champagne Shimmer as an upper cheek highlighter and down the bridge of my nose.  It may be a little too pink for my nose.

 

[kawaiisquawks]

Kind of disappointed because

Starry Night creased on me within 10 minutes of me applying it and now, 3 hours later, it's noticeably faded as well. I'll play around with it for the next few days though, maybe layer some eyeshadow over it (like UD Oil Slick) or put a primer under it. I don't know how much I'd reach for it if it'll only work with a primer under it though, because the only reason I've bought cream shadows in the past is because it helps me save time in mornings where I'm in a hurry and can just swipe some cream shadow on and let it set as opposed to applying primer and eyeshadow.

I may use it as a facepaint of sorts in December though, when I'm going to a Finntroll show. (The guys paint black tree branch-like streaks on their faces, some fans will paint their faces for the show too and a sparkly black version would be a fun girly twist haha). That way at least I know it'll just fade off my face as the night progresses/I'll sweat it off because I know my usual go-to black cream eyeliner/eyeshadow would actually melt from sweat and streak everywhere and that's just not a good look.

I have to say that I don't love that type of product anyway, but thought the boxes for sure would be better than this for such a luxury subscription. Can somebody tell me how to do a spoiler please? I very much look forward to spending this year with you ladies!
 mine was written by a kid too that says from friend of COO

 

[sirenajen]

Lol. I liked the note too, but it was definitely written by a child. It was cute but unexpected. The eye shadows didn't work for me. I tried every primer I own. The champagne can be a pretty highlighter though!

So Sad about the creasing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I used the champagne shimmer as a highlighter on my cheek bones this morning & it looked really pretty!! It's very pink though- I don't really like the color on my eyes but on my cheek bones it looks Amazing!!

This happened to me last month and they assured me it will go to the correct address this month lets see.

I  like it very classy.

I am looking forward to trying out the new box.  It was great to have it waiting for me last night. I had been at the hospital the two days prior with my mom after she had a minor stroke.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she's doing better soon. Enjoy your box!

Anyone have an idea of the best way to reach them to give feedback other than Facebook?  I saw on their page someone mention the email address [email protected].  I might try that.

The more I think about how unusable the product is for me, the more irritated I get, actually.  I can't make it work.  It would be one thing if I didn't like the color, but this formula just isn't performing.

Edit:  I sent a message to them there.  I'll let you guys know if I hear anything back from them.

If you go on their website on a PC or laptop, there is a little tab called "your feedback." That is what I used to inform them that my didn't have my full address. I never got a confirmation though.

Thank you ladies for suggesting ups my choice which was the only way I could've known that the shipping address was incomplete and they were able to trace it back to me. Hopefully next month will be different with my double boxes coming!!

I'm really sorry about your mom- wishing her a speedy recovery. My mom is one of my best friends - I understand it must have been really scary for you.

I left feedback for them on their site. We'll see if there will be a response.

 

[starr5747]

Are they hard to get ahold of? I still haven't received my box and did the ups my choice and it still says "order processed, ready for pickup". I sent them an email over 24 hours ago and haven't heard anything!! Am I just being impacient or is this normal for them?

Sorry to hear that, I hope your mom gets better soon.

I received a response to the feedback I left regarding the consistency of the shadows:

To answer your question, the Cream Shadows are fashion items, and they're meant to be a little slick to give the eyes a dewy, sexy, and imperfect appearance. The product should be used very lightly, only in tiny amounts. The softest touch over or under powder shadows add mystery to the eye. They are not meant to be used in the crease of the eye(where oil penetrates too quickly), or in the inner membrane, or in substantial amounts. However, the look is meant to be slightly undone.For more long wearing looks, we use the Dualistic Eye Pencil as base, or applied over shadow. These pencils come in basic black(Noir), matte brown(Sequoia), shimmering bronze(Tamarack), and beige(Champagne). The Dualistic formula is more durable for real life, the pots are meant for fashion and fun.All the best,LMdB

I wore Starry Night under some powder shadow today and I love the look it creates! It really helped to tone down this crazy green shadow I got in a Wantable box a few months back to a color I really like. I applied about two layers (which I see is now more than they recommend) but it created an easy smokey eye for me...6 hours into the day and it has not budged or creased.
