Went to preview today again this time with a couple of friends. One important thing to note : it is Aging if you have tan skin or yellow undertones. Especially the earrings or if you loop it twice and wear it close to your face.

I just came from the boutique, they told me they have a list for the people who will view it from the main administration. Even i cant have a look ,
I was also told that i am not allowed to purchase the earrings I requested because the manager has allocated the pieces to other clients.
I figured this would happen. I had a convo with my SA a few weeks back and he was saying he had a meeting with the SM on who was to get their pieces. Sounds very H like.
Same for me! But I was allocated a bracelet haha. Owell let’s see how fast they restock!
Was there a comment earlier that VCA wasn’t planning to restock this line because it was limited edition? I wonder how accurate that might be. I’ve also been allocated a bracelet.
It is not limited edition from what I’ve been told, just limited stock, so it is more an issue of timing and if we like the shades available to choose from. I am trying to decide now how open I am to color options, considering my color preferences vs the unknown wait time if I pass on this round of options (I am getting the 5 and 20), but it is coming from a boutique across the country so I have to go by photos and my SA’s description.
If in my dreams I was a VCA VIP, I'd certainly appreciate the perk of being offered limited edition or limited supply items first. I really have no problem with that. After that, it should be first come (or first paid!), first served. I was incredibly lucky to have a friend who connected me with a SA in Paris when there was an extra lapis bracelet available. So sometimes anyone can have a little luck from the clovers!
(In this case, I won't be waiting in line because it is not a combination that I really love (on me). And I won't buy a limited item just because it's limited, because there are too many other things I really DO love!)

There is a stain in the middle of the earring on the right in the pic. One must watch out for this. It is a common defect in carnelian.

There are actually 3 defects I can see in this photo - lighter parts on the edges of carnelian and that dark stain. I asked the SA about them, but he had no clue, only saying hopefully it is only lighting issue as only one photo was available.
I check the items super thoroughly these days after my experience with the MOP earrings. Very sad VCA passes such quality items at such a price tag.
Compared with YG guilloche. If you have YG guilloche and a carnelian bracelet I don't think you need this.
