Where do you live Erika? I’m in the rural area so we don’t have Neiman’s or Nordies here, but if you live in a bigger city, you could always try them at the counter. They will happily make you a few samples of their products, too 🙂

It’s really not the best quality, but it really looks nice from afar 🙂

I’m glad you liked them, too, Kim! Those neutrals are so versatile, they would suite anybody.

I’m with you there Kimberly, they are out of my budget normally as well, but this LMdB VIP program allows me to try them at a huge discount. I don’t think I would have purchased them normally.

They are super wearable indeed, and I’m glad LMdB didn’t send anything too bright or too deep like last year with lipsticks.

They look even better on, trust me! I just couldn’t find a spot with good lighting to take lip swatches.

Indeed, for me this was probably the *only* way to try their products. I don’t have any stores that carry the line around here, so I wouldn’t even be able to try them at the counter.

The value is definitely there, considering that each box ends up being roughly $29, so I just got all that for two thirds of a lip pencil. If they do a third year, I’m so in!

I didn’t used to be a lip pencil person either, but now that my lips are thinner it helps to make them look fuller.

I’m with you, they are outside of my usual price range, and this VIP program is the only way for me to try them.

I’m with you Leelo, I’m definitely not their target demographic, and 99% of their products are either a splurge or way too expensive for me, that’s why I really appreciate the opportunity to try LMdB at a huge discount via this VIP program.

Thank you Arielle, I’m glad you found this post informative. Some months were definitely better than others, and there were a couple of total duds, but overall, I feel like this investment was well worth the money.

Thank you Shipra, glad you are liking this roundup. It really helps put things in perspective, doesn’t it?

Indeed, those are universally flattering everyday shades. And the formula is fabulous!

I think I do, too. So far I tried 6 different LMdB colors and they were all awesome.

Agreed, I think it’s one of the best boxes they sent out so far. These colors are lovely!

Agreed, Destany, these colors are fabulous!

Rightfully so, since these eye shadows are some of the brand’s best products.

Glad you like them too, Justina.

I thought so too, and then turned them around to read the label and they turned out to be eyeshadows. They sure are pricey, but you get a ton of product.

Hi Eugenia — LMdB introduced this program to reward their loyal customers (but really anyone could subscribe), so for $29/month they’d send you a box of treats for a year. So far this has been a great ride!

Hi Phyrra — Thank you, I’m glad you feel that way! I don’t have many powders, and it’s great to have one that looks great and works great.

Hi Erika – I’m glad you like the way this powder looks! The case is elegant and sleek, and the powder itself has really good formula.

Hi Miranda — Thank you! 🙂 It looks matte and absorbs excess oil so well!

Hi Norah — I know, right? I was very surprised when I actually applied it on my skin, it looked nothing like the color in the pan. It gave my face a slight yellow tint (which is fine, because my skin has yellow undertones anyway), and really mattified the t-zone.

Hi Stephanie — I agree, this was very much a splurge, and I’m not entirely sure I’ll have the budget to opt in for another year, but it was a good ride. Still, three more months left, looking forward to getting my surprises 🙂

Hi Laura — The feeling is mutual <3 🙂

Exactly, and I’m hoping that CS rep was truthful in her response.

My love for LMdB also began with a small sample that I received in a Glossybox. At the time I thought that was the best facial moisturizer with SPF that I have ever tried, then I checked online for prices and realized that it’s way out of my price range 🙂

Definitely, but at least they kept the exclusivity somewhat, until that other company decided to start selling on Amazon.

Well, at least they didn’t lie about not selling it anywhere before. I googled and found nothing, there are barely even any pictures of it online. Too bad that their partners now made this product accessible on Amazon, but on the bright side that also means I can actually buy more of it, knowing it’s the same exact product.

Me too, except for those awful cream eye shadows that crease the second you put them on 🙂

They sure did give a satisfactory reply, but I’m still left a bit bummed 🙂

Yeah, it sure seemed very underwhelming compared to other months. But like that CS rep said, I also see these boxes as a collection of products, so I guess I’m not really complaining.

They always send lovely handwritten notes, I also think it’s a cute touch 🙂

I agree, it’s staple-worthy! And the shades are universally flattering, too 🙂

It works as a natural hair growth treatment, and also makes the strands thicker. It’s also very gentle that even people who lost hair due to radiation treatment can use it. My own uncle used it to regrow his hair after he won a battle against lung cancer 🙂

Awesome point, Chelsey. I guess there are people who can totally pull off the undone look, but I’m not one of them =/

Hi Laura! So glad that you subscribed to LMdB box, you are certainly goint to get your money’s worth. These eye shadows looked nice at first, but they creased and melted off within the first hour. The product was so poorly received, LMdB had to pull it off the shelves. I hope you don’t see a dud like that in your upcoming boxes 🙂
