I smudged the liner on my lid using the side, not the point.
And it made a big difference. Plus the color is beautiful smudged out on your lid! Stunning!

I think the point is a bit too sharp and just needs to be worked in. (dulled down)
After playing with it a bit it seems to go on smoother.
 
This item has gotten rave reviews online, and a few bloggers consider it a total MUST HAVE.

So I suggest we play with it!

Thanks! I'm definitely not giving up on it yet, but I was just trying to kind of smoosh it into my lashline and it wasn't working. I'll give it another try tomorrow because I really like the way it goes with the colors I'm wearing.

Good! I wore it as a shadow today (just blended it with a brush after smudging) and loved the way it looked.

My box arrived early afternoon while I was getting ready for a meeting...absolute perfect timing.  I used the pencil as a liner on the top and bottom & smudged it in with my brush.  I used the eye shadow kaleidoscope that I got in the August box -  I think this liner was meant for my kaleidoscope-  my green eyes popped and looked amazing.   Not to sound arrogant but I just felt like 'damn... I look good'.   And to top it all off- I used the curler-  Loved it!!  I gave my shu lash curler to my sis... no need for 2 .

Love you Le Metier de Beaute... You are turning into my favorite brand.

So Lisaleah - have you received your new makeup brush order and that beautiful kaleidoscope.... do tell girl!!!

I got my box today too! So far I think the value is right at $500 - not bad for the first 4 months of the box... I do like the color of the make-up item, I don't have anything like it. It's not my typical shade, but it'll be fun to try!!

 

[princess2010]

Also got my box and I love it as much as I thought I would! I can't wait to use the liner tomorrow. I started the lash serum tonight. I can use all the help I can get!

 

[meaganola]

I'm *really* looking forward to the liner! I have an eye pencil obsession, and I've been wearing a lot of shimmery browns lately since it's autumn, *and* I was just thinking that I kind of want a bronzey brown pencil, but I have so many pencils (FORTY-NINE) right now that I have put them on the no-buy list. But here's one coming in my box! No guilt!

My box arrived yesterday, and I had avoided this thread until it arrived as I wanted it to be a total surprise.  I'm thrilled with the contents!

I also got an email yesterday from LMdB, and the Gravité Kaleidoscope Eye Kit is free with any Beauty Vault purchase of $200 or more.  Lots of nice pairings on the site, very tempted.

I am amazed that I received my box in Germany already! I love this sub.

I got my box today! Total happiness...

I got Tamarack as well. It looks amazing lining the bottom lashes!
(not the waterline but under the lashes).

It's a real soft yet defined look.

I love this entire box!

Will do!

I rarely take the time to curl my lashes because they are too short for me to really see a difference (but maybe I'm missing something??), but I did this morning with the new one. I can't say I noticed much, but maybe I need to curl one eye and not the other to really see it. I'll try that tomorrow, lol.

Am I the only person to use a heated lash curler?

I have the Blinc one and it looks like a comb with a safety guard on it and a light/strip that turns yellow? when it is ready to use.

I normally use a heated one, too, mine is by Japonesque. My only complaint is the fact that I have to replace the batteries way too often.

 

[princess2010]

I have a couple of heated curlers, but I just can't get the hang of them. I find heating up a regular curler with a hair dryer works better. The Japonesque one does nothing for me.

I'm so upset. Apparently my box was delivered on Friday but I didn't see it when I got home. I asked my building manager about it and he remembers seeing a box for me in the lobby... We suspect someone inside the complex took it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> hopefully it was a mistake and they return it. I was so excited about this box, I don't know what I'll do if they stole it

Sorry to hear that, I hope they return your box.

That sucks

.  I was worried about mine this month, as it was delivered on Halloween and I wasn't sure I would be home when it arrived.  I had visions of trick or treaters coming to my door and deciding the package sitting there was their 'treat', since I wasn't home.  Fortunately, it arrived prior to me leaving my house for the evening.

It's been a few months since I used eyeliner every day.  Guess I got kinda burnt out with the look or something, but this morning I used the Tamarack liner and I'm in love.  I love the color and it's very flattering to my fair skin and brown eyes.  Looks like I'll be using eyeliner again! 

 

[IffB]

Used Tamarack on my brows this morning by mistake!

I use a Sonia Kashuk (Target) brow pencil in taupe that is also black like the LMDB...as I was applying it it felt "smother" and darker....and I noticed that it was the eye pencil instead! Amazinly, once I took some of it off with a q-tip, it looked ok....I have bangs so shimmering brows were not a big concern...

@Shauna999 I totally didn't see this!

The brushes are really great so far. I haven't used them all yet...been on and off with this wicked cold/allergy/sinus/kicking my butt thing.

But I have been using the the concealer brush a lot actually,..I love it! Iit really makes a big difference....goes on smoother, doesn't settle into creases. I also really love the shadow brush. It's a perfect all around brush- for the lid, shading and blending. It has a "light" touch yet seems to pick up more of the powder so there isn't that brush fall out. I am very pleased! I may have to purchase the crease brush one day. One thing that surprised me overall was how SHORT the handles are! Really short. They are almost travel sized.  But the brush heads are full size.

I was VERY surprised when I initially saw them. Oh and each brush came in it's own box and velvet pouch, so you can easily re-gift any of them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now for the Kaleidoscope. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Yes, it is stunning. (sorry I can't post swatches)

The first shade is a beautiful bronze metallic w/ a hint of rose. (hard to describe...but I see a bit of pink in certain light)

The 2nd shade is described as a gilded saffron and that's pretty accurate.. Its a beautiful color but one that is too "apricot" for me.

I am in mad love with the 3rd color. They are describing it as a Patina Brass, but it is more like an shimmery olive w/ flecks of gold. Def more on the greenish side.

The last shade, the purple...is gorgeous too. It's like a blackened eggplant. It looks super sparkly in the palette but goes on almost matte/satin.

It really is a beautiful kaleidoscope and an INSANE Gwp!!!!!

Le Metier added new products to the vault the other day. ) Some really fantastic groupings.

This one is tempting me..BIG TIME. And it comes w/ a FREE eye cream ($175 value) plus the kaleidoscope! (which I would gift...NOTE: The kaleidoscope does NOT come in a box though. Just bubble wrap.)

Yes, I have a problem. But this company/brand is really SO SPECIAL!

I'm glad you LOVE your box!

How is everyone liking the lash serum?

I may be seeing things, but I really think I see a difference already.

My lashes are super short so any increase would be a HUGE one!

I've been using it for 7 or 8 nights so far....
