This kit retails for $75, which is a lot, I know. However, within the kit there is 7 full size and 5 good sized deluxe size items. I ended up getting the kit for $54 since I used my $25 coupon. I got this kit because there were many things I love and some I have been wanting to try forever, but if I bought them separately, it would add up to over $75! So why not get extras for the same price?
The first thing in the kit is a Beauty Blender. It seems pretty basic, but this is the best tool any makeup user could have. It makes doing your makeup so effortless, and it leaves a beautiful finish. I already own two, excessive I know, but it is always good to have backups in case if you're too lazy to clean one which is me every morning. This is full size, and on its own costs $20.
The kit came with two full size eyeliners: a Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Liner and a Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil kohl liner.
I love liquid liners, it is my preferred way of doing a wing eyeliner. I have hear great things about the one from Stila, and it is very similar to my holy grail Kat Von D Tattoo liner. Stila's liner runs for $22.
The Lancome pencil is one of the blackest and creamiest black eyeliners I have ever used! I am in love and I never want to run out, because Lancome is expensive. A+ from me. This costs $23.
A deluxe size of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water was included in the box. This deluxe size cost $16 alone, while the full size is $30 which seems crazy for a bottle of enhanced water. I'm excited to try it since so many people love this.
Next up is a Tarte duo of a bamboo brush and The Sculptor Park Ave. Princess Contour Stick. This was sort of a dud to me, but since there were so many great products in the kit I didn't mind having one dud. The stick was really orange, which isn't a good look for me. The brush was too dense to use for powders, but too small to use for liquids, so I don't know what to do with it.
I received two mascaras in the kit: a deluxe Benefit They're Real! and a full size Touch in Sol Stretchex. I have never tried either of these, but a lot of people love Benefit's so it is great to finally try it. The deluxe size costs $12. I like and hate the Touch in Sol one. I like it for my lower lashes and hate it for my upper lashes. I honestly don't know why it was included in the kit, because it is not a top seller of 2015. I think they were just trying to get people to know about the brand. However, it must be well loved because it has 5 stars on Sephora's site and retails for $22.
The two highlighters I got rule the kit. I am a highlighter junkie. I have over a dozen just because they are my weakness and I can't have enough. I got a full size Clinique Chubby Stick in the shade 01 Hefty Highlight. It is a pink tone cream highlighter, and it is the first pink tone highlight I own! It is very pretty. This retails for $22.
The one thing I have been wanting for EVER is the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Highlight. The full size is $40, however I will never go through a whole highlight compact in my life since you use so little each time. I am so happy that this was included in the kit!
There was one complexion product in the kit and that is the Make Up For Ever Hydrating Face Primer. I already own and love this product in a full size tube, so I am saving the deluxe size for a backup because I do not want to go without. This deluxe size sells for $12, but it is so good that it is worth it to get the full size!
Last but not least, the kit came with two full size eyeshadows. The first one is the Urban Decay Shadow in the shade Lounge. Lounge is a duochrome green-red shadow. I love duo-chromes so I will get a lot of use out of this. This retails for $19.
The second shadow I am soooooo excited for! It is the NARS Duel Intensity Shadow in the shade Himalaya. I have been wanting to try these shadows since I had gotten into makeup. However this shadow is $32. Yes. $32. For one shadow. That is ridiculous! I finally got one though, for a better price which I am thrilled for.
And that is the whole kit! I think it is so worth it for $50. Even $75 would be worth it, but to get it on sale is a plus. I could have gotten three of the products in here and spend over $75, but I got a bunch of extra and amazing products for the same cost. This kit is an A+++! :)
