The stunning Le Métier de Beauté cosmetics line, exclusive to Bergdorf Goodman stores and a few select Neiman Marcus, features a wide range of luxurious beauty products with gorgeous packaging, unique colors, and lovely textures.
Here’s an exclusive look at some of the fun, modern, yet classic products Le Métier de Beauté has to offer.
Kaleidoscope Kits
Kaleidoscope Kits — “blending tradition and vision, creativity and innovation,” the kits are comprised of four colors presented in a unique stacking system with a flip-top mirror. They come in varieties available for lips, eyes, and face, each retailing for $95.
I have two — the Persephone Eye Kit and the Galatea Eye Kit.
Persephone Eye Kit
The Persephone Eye Kit features four medium pigment eyeshadows with textures ranging from matte to satin to shimmer:
- Rose Champagne: a soft shimmery pale rose-pink
- Alexandrite: a sparkly eggplant amethyst
- Canvas: a soft, satin, neutral fawn-cream
- Sequoia: a matte, cool, dark chocolate brown
Galatea Eye Kit
The Galatea Eye Kit features four unnamed shadows not available individually:
- a soft, satin pale buttercream
- a rich, shimmery golden brown
- a matte puppy brown
- a complex, shimmery nutmeg
Sheer Brilliance Lip Glosses
Left to right: Marsala (gift with purchase), Cap d’Antibes, Cannes, Dubai, Ibiza, Captiva, Bondi Beach
The Sheer Brilliance Lip Glosses are my favorite products in the line — pure luxury in a tube, and I want them all!
They have a sparkly, glossy finish and a non-tacky texture that’s lightweight yet moisturizing. Colors are sheer but substantial enough to show on the lips. They retail for $32 each.
Lip Creme Lip Gloss
Left to right: Sunset Boulevard (gift with purchase), Apricot Creme, Peche Creme, Papaye Creme, Sweet Creme, Fraise Creme
Hybrid lipstick/glosses, the Lip Creme Lip Glosses ($36) are super-pigmented, with a lightweight texture, intense color and a shiny finish. A little goes a long way, and they glide on the lips.
Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick
Top to bottom: Marrakech, San Tropez
The Color Core Moisture Stain Lipsticks ($32) have a long-lasting stain-like formula with a surprisingly creamy texture.
They do feel more like a stain than the typical lipstick, but once applied, they remain blendable while still staying put.
Where to buy
The Le Métier line is sold online and at just seven stores in the US, making it pretty hard to see in person.
NOTE:Bergdorf periodically holds what are called Beauty and Incircle events at which time they include nice gifts with purchase.
Unfortunately, swatches don’t always capture true colors. I’ve placed orders both online and in person at three of their physical locations. Once you’ve seen them in person, I highly recommend calling a counter to place your orders. The company’s product specialists are very knowledgeable and patient in describing things and making product recommendations. 🙂

May 24th, 2009 at 7:00 pmNice brand and nice products! Yea, this is definitely my first time hearing of this brand. Wouldn’t mind getting some of their kits, like the way they stack the pans in ‘swivel’….can it be called that way? 😉

May 24th, 2009 at 7:04 pmI love the cream glosses I recently picked up the Papaya Cream gloss; it was well worth the price! The Neiman Marcus at King of Prussia Mall (right outside of Philadelphia) carries the full line. They also have excellent and attentive sales folks, so if you are in the area I recommend stopping by.

June 9th, 2010 at 10:04 amI’ve only recently read about these products. I’m very interseted in trying the Anti-aging foundation with retinol. Its $125, even more than Le Mer’s which was good, but still just ‘ok’. I’m hoping I’ll love it!

January 19th, 2011 at 12:03 pmSounds interesting, and like a Wanna-Have ! But where can I find this stuff in Germany ? It is really heart-breaking ( well….) to see lots of stuff you can not get your hot and sweaty paws at…

February 22nd, 2012 at 5:23 pmHi I bought a le métier eye shadow 2 years ago at Niemans in Houston . the color is Mulberry. Do they still make that color? I live on Long island in NY and tried to find it at Nordstroms but the women helping me didn’t know the line well and couldn’t find it. I love
Mulberry and need a new one! Help!
