You must have gotten your mascara somewhere else.

It hasn't been in a box yet.

How is their mascara though btw?

 

[tazdvil]

Ahhh, you're right. I have the black brown. It is nice and doesn't make my eyelashes all stiff like some mascara. It seems so creamy that if your not careful you lashes can be stuck in clumps. I only did it twice to learn not to go over them too much. I used my lash comb but alas it doesn't fix a mess perfectly. It definitely lasted all day without flaking.

Actually, the reviewer highly recommended using the included sponge. You should try that too and compare the results /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LMdB said they were building a collection with this sub and this is an integral part of most makeup collections. I'm pretty excited to try it!

It's something I totally need.

Hope you like it too!

I love it! It's Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Pressed Powder.

The compact is super chic. (there is a hidden puff applicator on the bottom)
The powder seems very smooth and although it's Shade 2, it looks universal and appears color-less on my skin!

Here is the product info from Neiman's website....
  Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Pressed Powder $75.00    
  Let's smooth things over. Introducing a technological breakthrough in anti-aging face products, this luxuriously soft, natural-looking treatment powder seamlessly covers visible imperfections while working below the surface to enhance and improve the skin long term. Key ingredients Vital ETâ„¢, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and Sodium Hyaluronate, a major contributor to greater skin hydration, penetrate deeper and result in more pronounced skin improvement due to our proprietary delivery system, TPM®.

A weightless powder so silky smooth it feels almost like a cream at first touch, this formula is easily blendable and will not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. Available in 3 universally flattering shades. Ideal for all skin types; paraben free.

How to Use
Apply with a brush for sheer coverage, or with a sponge for heavier application.

Key Ingredients

• Sodium Hyaluronate: increases skin hydration
• Nylon-12: works to resist settling into fine lines, provides a soft-focus effect
• TPM®: powerfully efficient delivery system for key ingredients
• Vital ETâ„¢: a bio-functional form of Vitamin E, increases elasticity and delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits

Oh and here is a pic from the Niemans site

Thanks for the spoiler!

To say im disappointed in this months box is an understatement. I wish they would recognize that not everyone is the same color.

Have you received your box yet? Maybe you can email before it ships and they can swap it for you? If you have it, still contact them. I believe they worked with people who reached out to them regarding problems with the color of the concealer too. It's worth a shot.

You should absolutely email them and let them know.

I am sure they will find a solution/resolution for you.

Keep us posted.

Thank you! I just emailed them. Hopefully they will send me something else and I can mail this back to them. This is the 3rd item I can't use. I couldn't use the concealer and that blush kaleidoscope looked ashy on me. (I wish I had emailed about those but I did let them know in today's email). This is my birthday month so the disappointment felt multiplied. Lol

 

[LovelyLouboutin]

If they can't do anything ill see if my mom can use it. She is much lighter than me. I'd just be fearful about it making her look like a ghost in pictures...

 

[AshJs3]

I tried out my powder today! It's too dark, but I think I might be able to make it work.

 

[utgal2004]

Mine arrived today and is too dark. I'll email them but they never responded to me when I emailed about the concealer being too dark. I'm pretty bummed. I really wanted to try this one.

 

[dressupthedog]

I decided that I want to share the email I received last month regarding the concealer. The response bothered me a bit. I was definitely a little frustrated when I had sent this email because I couldn't get any response for a week prior regarding them shipping to the wrong address.

Spoiler

We had a glitch in our shipping software in March that caused not only a delay in getting our shipment out, however also forced us to backtrack and review old correspondence to address address changes. It seems your address change was lost in that transition. We are sorry and the address change will be made going forward. Mistakes and errors do happen as we are human at Le Metier de Beaute and to err is human. As for your comments regarding complexion products, we only make a few PV concealer shades and they work for almost all skin types, as the formulation is a treatment product that blends into the skin. Treatment benefits are delivered in the first 8 minutes. Many clients use this product at night as a spot corrector. We will ship you a lighter shade as a replacement for this month's box. Believe it or not, with all of our VIP clients, you are the first to contact us with this concern. Moving forward, it may not be in your best interests to be a part of a program like our VIP program. This program was developed as an evolving concept. It was developed to grow with its participants and to push them to be opened minded, generous (share product they might not utilize) and flexible. We have been extremely generous in our offerings to date and understand that not everything or everyone can always be satisfied with a program like this, however we are disappointed to hear that after 7 other shipments, you are now let down because we pushed you to look at a product you might not have given a chance to otherwise. Share the product with a family member or friend. Meantime, we will ship you a shade that works for you. XO LMdB On Mar 12, 2014, at 9:23 PM, bellatrix42 wrote: This is my fourth attempted contact.

[boxesandboxes]

Hmmm. thanks for sharing.  I'm thinking here... and a little afraid that if too many people complain they might cut the program next year.  

 

[AshJs3]

Wow, I can't believe they sent you that e-mail! While they have been SUPER generous with this program and I definitely feel like I'm getting my money's worth, I think they could have responded a lot better than that. Accusing you of not being open minded because you don't want to wear a product that's too dark for you? What?! There's a reason they make multiple colors! The tone is extremely off putting, but maybe that how they want to be?

Wow what a horrid CS response. That would now be a No, now I won't consider joining when it reopens. If they want you to be "generous" and give it away than it should be free. Otherwise it's a product you paid for and you should be able to use, it's not like there's 4 other items in the box that you can try such as BB or Ipsy. I love that they basically told you to leave. It's not even like you threw a tantrum and complained that the whole subscription was a waste. Weird email, very weird email.

 

[dressupthedog]

Thanks ladies, I couldn't tell if it was just me reading it with a less than friendly tone or not. I'm just hoping that the last three months will have products that work for all of us.
