gifts/haul: le métier de beauté


Just to make things clear, I'm not trying to brag at all. I'm just trying to be straight forward with whoever reads my blog about how I got these gifts. I will be reviewing these items in greater detail later on. (I just realized that I forgot to include the accents on the e's in the photos.. sorry about that! I'll fix it when I have the time.)


Le Métier de Beauté (I will use LMdB for short) had a giveaway on their Facebook page. All you had to do was post a wishlist on their wall. They then randomly chose ten people that posted and granted their wishlists. I, being a person of the shittiest luck possible, had never before won anything in my life worth winning. No, that Bach Piano Competition when I was ten doesn't count. Wait.. no, nevermind. Nothing. Except for this giveaway.




LMdB Peau Vierge Lash Growth Serum; LMdB True Color Eyeshadow in Chameleon and Thunder; LMdB Le Cirque Eye Kaleidoscope.

I had Corinthian and Jojo on the wishlist, which I did not receive but I'm really not complaining. Even if they gave me just one item, they were more than generous. I have not yet had the heart to even swatch anything because I didn't want to ruin its pristine beauty. I know, I'm a dork. Isn't that Kaleidoscope something though? Packaging is genius! It makes me sad that I wasn't aware of the brand before so I missed out on all those earlier limited edition Kaleidoscopes.


Some time ago, the Santa Monica LMdB counter had an event where with $120 minimum purchase, you get a nice GWP. I had apparently missed the actual event, but since I made a $120+ purchase, the SA let me have the GWPs (all full sized items!). Again, super generous! I have yet to try these products out.




LMdB small makeup pouch; LMdB Dualistic Eyelash Curler; LMdB Nail Lacquer in Amaryllis; Classic Flawless Finish Compact Powder in shade 1; LMdB Lip Créme in Créme Caramel.

I'm thoroughly impressed with LMdB in general. If you haven't had the chance yet to try out this brand, I highly recommend it. It's a little pricy (single eyeshadows are $30 each for example), but I really think it's worth the money. I'm in love with everything I've purchased so far from them.

I realized that a majority of my posts are centered on cosmetics, which I love, but I have not done a single post on skincare or fashion (unless you count my DSK haul hehe). I hope to change that this year (eventually). ^^ This is a little late, but Happy New Year! I'm awful at sticking to resolutions, so I won't make any lol. :P

  1. i really wanted corinthian too but it is never avail when i ask the SA

  2. I've never bought anything from this brand but they look amazing!

    I am a new commentor!
    le metier I have no idea yet how to feel about this brand considering how 4 eye shadows are &95, but single shadows can sometimes go up to $40 depending on the brand!

    you got le metier as a gift... so thats a plus for you :) if someone gave me chanel or dior, I would be so happy.

    how is the quality of the shadows?

  3. Congrats on your win! I've never tried anything from this brand but everything looks really high quality. Thanks for subscribing to my blog, I'm following you too :)

    P.S. Your photos on your blog look really professional - they're very detailed and clear ^^

  4. You're photos are wonderful! We have similar taste in shadows. I wanted to let you know that your blog is great!

    @Amy, Keep trying! I've been seeing Corinthian at counters more now. It seems like it may be Jojo's turn to be OOS though.

    Thank you, ladies for stopping by and dropping a note. :D
