I like the idea that they view the VIP program as a collection. I know we can all agree that their products are awesome!! My favorite product received to date is the lipstick from box 1- I'm constantly getting compliments on it!!!
I hope we get more lipsticks and I really want an eye kaleidoscope before the sub is over.

  That response was very helpful. I also love that they view it as a collection over 12 months. I could not be more pleased with the VIP boxes. I think we made our money back on month 3, and I've only not liked the cream eyeshadows. Everything else has been fabulous.

This is what they wrote....

We developed our make up remover almost a decade ago, in conjunction with a manufacturing partner.  We shared the costs and in return gave them the right to sell it direct, should they want to earn back those costs.  We are assuming that the listing on Amazon is them doing what is within their rights.

Meantime, this make up remover has been only used in The John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman and as a back bar item at our make up counters - never sold.  We get thousands of requests a year to sell it, and do not.

It's an expensive product to manufacture and features a lot of process technology to produce.

We sent it out in the January box as a test to see if our fans liked it.  We do not see the VIP program as an individual product per month, but as a collection you amass over 12 months.  So the items all work together.

We hope you use the make up remover and value it as part of the larger program.  We would love your feedback on its performance.

Thank you for sharing the response, and I agree with the others here when they say that it is satisfactory. At least for me!

I know most of you don't like the cream eyeshadows we got a few months back but I used the champagne shimmer one this morning as a very light wash under my eyeshadow and I love the way it turned out! It added some subtle shine and dimension. Also since I used such a small amount,  I didn't have any creasing. I can't wait to use it again tomorrow and maybe even experiment with the starry night shadow!

Wow, the pigmentation in the black eye shadow was MUCH more than I expected, it's the Pretty in Punk and the Black is really, really Black!.
Their powder shadows are amazing, but the cream ones they sent in one of the monthly boxes were a bit of a disappointment. Like sparklegirl said, they're pretty  awesome when used sheerly, though!

I'd love to try their powder eyeshadow! I hope we get one in one of the remaining boxes! So if they are thinking of the sub as a collection lets see what we've gotten so far.

Le Metier Red Lipstick $38
Kabuki $83
Lip gloss kalidescope $95 (some got cream blush, some shadow I think)
Black liquid liner $42
2 cream shadows $60
Cheeky Chic blush kaleidoscope $95
Lash serum $95
eyelash curler $18
Pore Perfector $125
Bronze eyeliner $36
Makeup remover $32

What else could we be getting?! God I love this sub so much. Did I forget anything?

Foundation would be really tough to match. We got an illuminator in the blush kaleidoscope. So far no lip liner, lip gloss not in a kaleidoscope,  mascara, a lot haven't gotten powder shadows, brow stuff, other skin care products are probably out there... Any other possibilities?

I don't think they're releasing any shade-sensitive products (i.e. foundations, etc). I don't remember where I read that, but I'm of the impression that they aren't going to be sending any products that requires shade-matching. Which is a pity, since I've been eyeing their bases and concealer for so long!

I think we may be getting nail polish or their cream blushes soon. Perhaps an eyeshadow single or a lip crème? Or something new they're developing. I don't think I see another kaleidoscope in the horizon, just because they made a new sub specifically for that, but we can always hope for the best, lol.

Anything you girls want to get specifically?

I'm crossing my fingers for the Creme Fresh Tint in Poppy.  That particular shade just calls to me for some reason.

 

[MUfiend]

I'd kill for the peel and mask. Kill!!! Ok...maybe not but I really want to try it. In sad news...my dark spot corrector is finished. I LOVED it but it finished so quickly. I would definitely splurge for it if it had 1 ounce but .5 is tough. Le sigh...

I'm with you- Im in love with that shade!! I think some ladies bought it when saks had the 50% "glitch"- maybe someone will give us a swatch pic ;-)

What is this magical cleansing spa water?

It's Ah-Mazing Stuff!! I was first introduced to it throu glossybox a while ago. It was like love at first use...lol. They sell it at sephora & hautelook had it as a flash sale in recent times.

I enjoy Birchbox but Glossybox has introduced me to many FAVS, including the Ken Goh Do Cleansing Spa Water. I've gone though multiple bottles and just bought a 4 pk on Sephora for 2x's points for Skincare Week.

Is this makeup remover?  The way everyone talks about it, it's like a magic elixir, so I want to know all about it!

 

[pixie015]

Yep, it's makeup remover - you can use it all over your face or on your eyes (with a cotton pad) It's my favorite - not greasy / oily and removes everything. I discovered it through Glossybox too and have since bought more at Sephora. It's great for travel too since it doubles as a face cleanser & eye makeup remover.

 

[princess2010]

The Koh Gen Doh Cleansing Spa Water is a magic elixir. It's the only makeup remover I've ever used that works completely and totally on eyes and face. When I'm done I don't have and cloudiness on my contacts, or burning. It's magic because it looks exactly like water. You would think that there's no way it would work. It's not oily, or greasy, or anything. It look likes water but takes off all the makeup. It's pricey but I love it and watch out for sales because it's worth it! Whatever is in it is magical.

How is the Koh Gen Doh cleansing water different from the other miscellar cleansing waters?

I've prob tried at least 8 other similar products and they seem to work the same way.

I tried Caudalie, Bioderma, Avene, Reversa (a Canadian brand...was on sale 2 huge 300ml bottles for $22- reg for one is usually $30 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> , Yves rocher has two of those cleansing waters I plan to get those as the bottles are smaller for travel...

 

[princess2010]

I have no idea if they are different. It's the only cleansing water I've tried and I haven't had the desire to keep looking since I love it so much. Maybe someone else has tried others to give you an idea.

Klorane makes one for face and eyes. Its cheaper per volume but I think KGD is better. Claudalie also makes one but I haven't tried. Overall, I think cleansing waters are gentle but I like the dual phase ones like lmdb, bifacil, etc since they work faster. With cleansing water, I have to hold it in place for 5 seconds to get all my waterproof stuff out.

Thank you, enablers! Got such a bad chemical burn/bad reaction from a sample of Strivectin that I will try anything gentle..... Code VICESWAP let's you pick 2 great deluxe samples, too.
