This box came with a card detailing the items included, instructions for use, and ingredients.

Now, on to the items!

Le Metier de Beaute Revitalizing Anti-Aging Day Creme - 1 oz Value $285

$285?! Wow!

This day cream is formulated with Retinol and Coenzyme Q10 and designed to improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

It's a rich cream for a day cream, and it takes a minute or two to fully absorb, but it's worth it! The finish is matte (no greasiness), and I love how hydrated and plump it made my skin feel!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $285 - amazing! I signed up for this subscription for their makeup, but getting a full-size $$$ skincare item is always a nice change!

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No. This subscription is only available for purchase once a year. The next time it opens for purchase is May 2018 through July 2018.

Coupon – no coupons available for this subscription.

What do you think of the November Beauty Vault VIP box?

December nailed it! A gorgeous eye Kaleidoscope in very wearable shades. November and December have been more like this subscription was in the first couple of years.

So saaaadddd! My eye shadow is broken in several pieces, destroyed! Each piece of the kaleidoscope got more broken, but was at least intact. The eye shadow, though, it all fell out and I had to put it back in the pan. I’m hoping they will replace it.

I’m talking about the gorgeous bottom, last shade. Oh my gosh! It is gorgeous, but all destroyed and I will have to throw it away because it will get everywhere anytime I open the palette.

Shirley

Has anyone received their December VIP, or received tracking info for it yet? When I contacted the company in November, they estimated a Dec. 13th ship date. I have not heard anything at this point.

Emily

No, I haven’t received anything for December either. November was really late too. I don’t know if this is the new norm or not

Shirley

Thanks Emily –
I emailed them inquiring, and they sent me a tracking number today, with a Dec. 22 delivery date. So – not clear if they have all shipped, or if they shipped mine because I asked???

I found this at Nordstrom rack last year and bought it for $7 🤣 it was sealed and all…. I used it up, but i only get wrinkles if i study alot and forget to put moisturizer on my forehead for like months…so i just focus on moisturizing….and what works best for me is gells in summer and oils in winter. Creams and balms are ok, but I think they clog my poor more.

Luna

I didn’t know that Nordstrom sold Le Metier de Beaute. It’s not on their list of beauty brands they sell. They must have discontinued selling that brand which is why it was at the Rack, I’m guessing.

Ash

You’re paying for the brand name, not the ingredients.

Svetlana7e

Can someone please educate me. From the ingredient list, which ingredient makes this cream so pricey and valuable?

The ingredient called “brand name” 😉

I used to buy expensive skincare until I realized that a lot of them contain cheap and/or bad ingredients. Now I focus on natural skincare and my face has never looked better.

Lokelani

I was wondering that too, so pricey! It also contains propylparaben, many people are avoiding parabens, and fragrance

Connie

Was very happy with the November box. Since the beginning of my subscription I have purchased a few discoveries already. Between this and my Sisley subscription I have all I need for beauty subscriptions.

I was in shock when I opened the box–a good kind of shock. What a wonderful November box! I almost passed out, lol.

Gloria

I received mine yesterday! Im so happy with the content. This year the products have been more practical than the last years. That being said I have used everything.

Jody

Why doesn’t anyone give us this kind of product for nighttime? It would make me too oily during the day.

AJann

Fairly certain you’re allowed to use this at night if you choose.

Jenai

It could probably be used at night, yes. The problem is it’s not really good for your skin to use a retinol product when the skin will be exposed to the sun, so as a day cream it doesn’t really work. WebMD has a good article on the safe usage of retinol and a warning against cosmetic companies which use retinol in day time products.

Kate

Yes, it’s weird because you’re only supposed to use retinol at night anyway.

AJann

Retinol (only sold over the counter, not via rx) and Retin-A (prescription only) are not the same. Retin-A is around 100x more powerful than any OTC Retinol moisturizer.

Jenai

Yes – that’s a huge mistake to make for a $285 product.
