 It should be until Dec 2015 since each year you have to spend $1000 to re-qualify. You just might get there sooner than you think. :haha:
I know! Hahaha! It says: "enjoy VIB status until 12/31/16, and spend $644 to unlock VIB Rouge, our new premium membership status."

Apparently MUFE is going to add new colors to their HD foundation line. Maybe now I can get a better match. They are going to have Y(yellow) and R(red) designations. I can't wait to see them. I loved the way that the HD foundation felt on my face. Unfortunately the color was a close match but I still had to work with it. 175 was too red and 177 was too dark for me. It's supposed to be launching in June. I really hope Sephora gets it shortly after.
Awesome!! Thanks for the heads up. The lightest MUFE HD shade for me is way too pink. :( I need a more neutral or maybe even yellow undertoned one. Hopefully something will be in there for me this time around.

I've been fiddleing around with my mufe palettes. The brighter shades defs require primer. The neutral shades do decently on their own but do crease on my oily lids. Temptalia recommended I use a mac 239, and I have a larger denser dupe of that in the form of a sonia kashuk brush, and basically the shadows are pigmented but the brighter ones sheer out when blended. Packing the shadow on and using a primer has yielded the best results. I used the purple shade intended to be used as a blush to lightly contour under my cheekbones and that worked well and as the bright pink shade intended to be used as a blush as a blush and it was super pigmented on me. I used the elf small stipple brush to apply those two cheek products.

So what's the consensus on the Marc Jacobs 500pt perk? I missed the 100pt eyeliner perk last month (or whenenever it was lol) so I'm debating on picking this one up. Anyone have swatches of the lippie?

I'm not feeling this palette yet(electric), I only used it once last Thursday and wasn't impressed. I've since received my Tom Ford goodies and have really been loving the quality and ease of application. I really don't see the fuss about mufe. IDK. I'm going to do another look tomorrow and hopefully it goes better. Last time I used a 242, 239 and a both flat synthetic brushes from Naked 2 and Naked 3... I've never had to hop around brushes like that. I'm feeling like this will be a return. I think a Naked 4 might come out for the holiday season so I'd rather save space for that palette. lol BTW idk if you own N2, but Verve looks like a dupe for that gray color in the Electric palette.
Oh, and I've been eyeing TF's Seductive Rose, so that might be a way better purchase.

I'm with Kiki. I don't back up anymore unless it is a lip product that I KNOW I will use the heck out of, and not even then because, as Kiki said, there is always going to be something newer and better or just as good. I definitely wouldn't back up a finishing powder. Even if you use it everyday, think how long it's going to take you to use it up. I used to back up eye shadows, MSF's, paint pots, it was all not worth it. The only backups I don't regret are my MAC Studio Lights and my BU of Fashion Revival. And when Studio Lights are gone I'll just switch over to YSL Touch Eclat so I didn't really even need a back up, although T.E is more expensive than the MAC, but I digress...

I've sold (or tried to sell) every other backup or tossed it. Just say no to backups. Get yourself something new and shiny instead!

yeah, I think the neutral one is defs a keeper, and I think of the two bold palettes I own (the other being the sleek bright mattes palette, it is superior, but requires a fair bit of effort. It is a lot cheaper than many other palettes I've looked at and I like the purple for the blush so I think I'll keep it. Naked 4 if it's purples I'd be all over it. I own own naked 3 it was my second high end eyeshadow palette and remains a quality staple and the palette I recommend to everyone new to makeup. I preordered the tf eye and cheek palettes and nude dip, but have yet to pay for it as they haven't come in yet, and I'm still not 100% wanting to purchase

I hope there is a Naked 4 and I hope it is purples and plums.

Anyone ever try the Koh Gen Do natural lighting powder? I have the laura mercier setting powder and it's cool, but for me, it's not revolutionary like many claim. Thought I'd try something new... Don't know how those YSL glosses slipped into my cart :eek:hboy:

I really hope so. I think its quite likely. The only other option I could see are khaki neutral
Yeah I could see something with sage and moss shades. Clearly purple is sexier. And plum makes for great neutral looks. I think with Naked 3 being rose-hued there is hope for more color themed palettes. They could do one with grey's and navy's too. Or heather and mauve shades. Are you listening UD?!?!

Either khaki/neutral OR purple/plum would be great IMO. I only have Naked 2 but I've never been really excited about it. I should have got the original.
I honestly don't do BU's becuz I live life on the edge!! I feel there's always the next best thing around the corner or comin soon and the only finishing powder I ever finish is mac msf's which aint goin noooo where no time soon! im gonna go head n grab the perk cuz I've been wanting magenta alone! the liner which I wouldn't mind getting in a full size! http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2015/02/marc-jacobs-beauty-le-marc-lip-creme.html I complained but maaaaybe I should've copied n pasted what everyone else did cuz all I got as a reply was "tough titty" basically :sigh:
The highliner is full size!? I didn't catch that! Grabbing it asap if that's the case! Aaaand I got the same reply. Thanks Labritney. :rolleyes:

Now that I said it I kind of want a grey/heather/mauve palette with one or two navy-esque shades as the darker eyeshadows. That would be baller. In addition to the purple/plum and khaki/neutral palettes of course. Then the entire spectrum of neutral will have been covered at that point.

I think you get until Dec 2016. Both my VIB and VIBR upgrade said that. It says it under your account info too. My question is whether or not every dollar you spend after you hit Rouge automatically goes toward re-qualifying for Rouge, or if that doesn't happen until your current status expires - does anyone know?

Last year, I only made VIB status again in November and every dollar I spent after that on my way to Rouge (but not actually reaching that point) was reset on January 1st of this year so I had to start at $0 again on my way to VIB by the end of this year for 2016. Kinda b.s. but I guess that's how it goes.
