Remember my guess about skin care in one of the remaining two Le Metier de Beaute Vault VIP Boxes? Looks like I was right after all! It kind of makes sense that they would include pricey products right around the time our subscriptions are set to run out in hopes that we’ll be more inclined to sign up for another year. I won’t lie, I am definitely tempted after receiving a full-sized pre-release bottle of the brand’s newest creation – Instant Line Perfecting Serum, which will retail for $150 USD, according to Dermstore.
HOW IT WORKS: As a Vault VIP for $348/year you will receive a full-sized product or assortment of products every month, curated by our Beauté experts. Members of The Vault will also have the opportunity to try exclusive, limited-edition items and pre-releases of the brand’s latest and greatest before anyone else gets their hands on them.

Like many Le Metier de Beaute products, Line Perfecting Serum comes in a dark pump bottle with silver details. The serum itself looks like a slightly murky gel, that turns clear when spread on the skin. I like that the company went with airtight and light-proof packaging, because according to the experts at Paula’s Choice, it helps protect the product inside from oxidation, thus helping preserve its efficacy.
This serum is designed to provide instant results: upon application your skin starts feeling warm and a little uncomfortable, and then gets instantly tightened once the gel fully absorbs, perfecting the texture and temporarily improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For me it honestly didn’t do much, aside from firming the skin slightly, but I suspect that’s because I’m not the target demographic for this particular product. However, I see a couple ingredients on the list that might be good for my skin long-term, like Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamins E and C, so it would be worth it for me to just use it as a regular daily treatment.
Ingredients – CosDNA: Tocopheryl Phosphate, Caffeine, Darutoside, Hydrolyzed Rhizobian Gum, Butylene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Silanetriol, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Sorbic Acid, Capryly Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol.
THE VERDICT: Overall, I’m glad to finally see a nice full-sized bottle of skin care, since that’s what the brand was originally known for. Ready for my July prediction? I’m guessing we might see a limited edition Kaleidoscope, and/or a beauty tool, like an eyeshadow or a powder brush? This is more of a wishful thinking than a prediction though, but fingers crossed that I’m right about this one – I adore their Kaleidoscopes and the ones I already have get a lot of use.
