Quick Take: amazing set, must have!, go for it you'll love it!
I love going on sephora and looking at all the value deals and packages. So when I found this set I knew I just had to have it! It is a perfect set for anyone wether you are just starting with makeup or if you want to expand your makeup collection. I recommended this to many of my friends and they loved it to! If you're wondering wether to buy it or not just go for it! Trust me you won't regret it!

Quick Take: good value
I got this as a gift for my sister and she loved it!! They all come in very generous sizes for the amount I paid. She knew all of the bestselling products included and was excited to have a deluxe sample of each. I'm actually a little jealous because I had just bought the NARS illuminator, same size but probably a bit more than the set!
What I love about it is that it has pretty much a little bit of everything you need, not to mention one of the best ones.

Quick Take: good value
I love all these products. I use almost every single one.
I first start with the hope in a jar, which has a nice smell and hydrates so very well. I then use the smashbox primer, and the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. When I apply my foundation, it lasts 12+ hours.
The nars illuminator is pretty, and gives a dewey glow. The mascara is very black and gives me very dramatic looking lashes. The eyeliner is sub par, I prefer using a gel liner. The eyeshadow is shimmy, and works perfectly with the stilla kitten palette. The fragrance has always been one of my favorites.
I would totally buy this again.

What a great set!
-01.14.12
Quick Take: good value, great colors
I bought this set for myself. I thought it would be a good way to test out some of the Sephora favorites. The size of the products included are very generous. My absolute favorite item is the Urban Decay eyeshadow. I will definitely be buying another soon! I love everything in the set and the colors are very versatile.

Great Products, great value!
-01.13.12
Quick Take: they lowered the price 10 days after my purchase.
This set has everything! I use all of the products but the lipstick. I don' t wear red well. The eyeshadow is very pretty, but it is a very heavy, silver shade. I will probably use it more as a highlighter on special occasions. The Urban Decay Primer Potion is a product I just ran out of. It works very well, and this size can fit in my travel bag. The mascara is pretty amazing! It goes on very easily and really pumps up the volume. I don't use the Nars Illuminator very often. I like a pink shade rather than a peach. The Marc Jabobs roll-on perfume really suprised me. I love it! It is a light floral scent I could easily wear every day, and the size is much larger than I expected.

Best Sellers for a Reason!
-01.12.12
Quick Take: good value, great product!
This set is awesome! It's got a couple of full-size products, but they are all great! It's just perfect for trying out new products! I especially love the Marc Jacobs Daisy rollerball, the NARS illuminizer, and the Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sin. Now that this set is on sale ($27 off!) it is a must-have!

Love everything, use everything except the lipstick. The red lipstick is ridiculous. I don't even know anyone who could pull off that color. Any two products in here pretty much cover the cost of the set and the rest is a bonus.

Not sure why Sephora would choose to put Urban Decay's Sin eyeshadow or Nars Orgasm Illuminator in this set when it seems like everyone and their grandmother has the Naked Palette and Orgasm blush (which is better than the illuminator in my opinion). Other than that the set was fun to try out.

Quick Take: good value
I love getting these assorted box sets so I can find new makeup to love. ABSOLUTELY love the buxom mascara--best thing ever. Love the primer--never used it before but it really does good things for your foundation. Everything else I could do without. The eyeliner says waterproof, but its not. The lipstick is toooo red, the eyeshadow cakes up, and the eyeshadow primer is subpar. :)

Great value for makeup fans!!!!
-01.10.12
Quick Take: good value
I have been obsessed with Sephora's gift sets lately, and this one caught my eye mainly because I love the Daisy perfume and wanted a portable version, and also have never tried anything from NARS. This kit is simply wonderful for anyone wanting to try new higher-end products.
Individual reviews:
Philosophy Hope In A Jar: I am a huge fan of Philosophy products; this lotion makes my skin SO soft and I personally think the smell is lovely, very clean and fresh. I wear this in the evening, and frequently under my makeup! The jar is a pretty decent size too, and this lotion is generally pretty expensive when sold alone. A-
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin: One of my favorite eyeshadows ever! So universally flattering, and it makes my green eyes look super bright. It makes me look awake when I rarely really am. Deluxe eyeshadows from UD are very soft and pigmented; I have several other deluxe eyeshadows this size and they have lasted me over a year with daily use, and given this is a full sized product you should get a lot of use out of this shadow. A+
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion: Love this product, makes my bright shadows so vibrant and last all day! This is such a tiny size, though, and it's difficult to get much out of the hard plastic tube after many uses. C-
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer: When I wore this it looked like I had no pores! My pores are usually pretty noticeable, and I generally use Benefits the POREfessional...probably going to switch to this now! This feels so light on my skin, I don't feel it anymore within seconds of putting it on. This is also a pretty decent sized product, as you only need a little a day, so it should last many months! A
Sephora Collection Lipstick: Obviously red lipstick is NOT for everyone. I am a huge fan of bright red lips so this product was great for me. Color aside, the formula itself is very creamy and pigmented and did not leave my lips feeling dry and flaky. I was able to wear it all day without reapplying. Keep in mind, though, that this really is a very bright red that doesn't work on everyone! B
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Nude: I am very very pale and this was definitely wayyyy too dark on me. Very unfortunate Sephora didn't make this kit available in varying skin tones, since I can't even use this full size product because it makes me look orange :( I can't speak of it's longetivity given I didn't wear it out, but when I did try it on I can say it went on smoothly and was moisturizing. D
Nars Illuminator in Orgasm: I have never used a highlighter before and I really, really enjoyed this shade. I am as pale as it gets, and this really made me look like I was glowing! It's a nice peachy color but there is some shimmer in it, so if you have bigger pores it can draw attention to them! (I learned this the day I didn't wear primer...) This is a really big tube and since each application requires very little it should last for a long time! B+
Buxom Lash Mascara: This mascara gave me very dark, long lashes! I have long lashes to begin with, so I found it almost made them rather spidery. The dark color may have been too much with my platinum hair and light skin, but it did add considerable length and color. Also a full sized product that should last all year! C+
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner: This is definitely waterproof! I always use gel eyeliner but this was a nice thing to have for touchups and my waterline. It stayed on through my shower and only came off with makeup remover, so for those who like stick liner, this is a great product, very dark and long-lasting. It was also very easy to apply! B+
Marc Jacobs Daisy Rollerball: Best scent there is! The scent does not last all day, which is why it's nice to toss this in your purse or bag to refresh the scent as the day goes on. The packaging is cute and it's lasted me a long time already despite frequent daily use. A-
Finally, this product comes with a certificate to get a 60 minute makeup application done for FREE at Sephora which is such good value! I was very impressed with this kit, from the price to the items inside. Get it while you can/it's on sale!

Great Set
-01.09.12
Quick Take: good value
As a whole, the set was a great buy. I had already used the Nars Illuminator, as well as Smashbox Photo Finish and one or two others, but I was greatly surprised by how awesome the Buxom mascara was. The only one that was less than perfect was the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. It just didn't apply as well as other brands I've used. In any event, the pack is a great value and highly recommended.

My husband have given this to me as a Christmas gift. I like it, the only 2 compaints I have is the tinted moisturizer is way to light and the lipstick I could try to work with it. Maybe next gift have a universal type lipstick and instead of a tinted moisturizer have the Sephora brush cleaner or/and brush.

Unbelievable Value
-01.06.12
Quick Take: good value, amazing sizes and quality
Usually when I buy kits I end up with a couple of products that I never use. I was so excited to see this kit because I already use, needed, or wanted the UD Primer, Smashbox Primer, Buxom mascara and Daisy perfume. I really needed a black eyeliner too, and was pleasantly surprised at how nice this one is. I can control it easily and it stays ALL day long.
The tinted moisturizer feels great and I will use it in the summer since I need an SPF.
Smashbox's primer is used by all the makeup artists I work with. They say it has a patented formula that's silicone based to fill the holes in your skin. It is THE BEST, even if it at first it doesn't look like it's doing anything.
I use NARS blush in Orgasm and it's almost too pinkish for me, but this illuminizer is easy to apply and gives a great glow. Easy to use!
The eyeshadow is amazing! Universally flattering.
I actually didn't have a red lipstick, so I will pair this with a cat eye from the new liner in this kit from time to time. Actually liked it very much.
The only thing I will not be using in this kit is the Hope in a Jar. I've tried it before and makes me break out. I don't understand the hype. But, since it's so popular, I will have no problem giving it to someone.
For so many amazing high-quality products, this kt is AMAZING for the price. Call around to Sephora's in your area if you have the option; I called 4 stores and got one that reserved it for me! So worth it!

This kit looks fantastic, it is a shame that it has been discontinued (or so I was told when I asked if it would be back in stock anytime soon. ) I really hope Sephora comes out with another 'Sephora Favorites' That includes a foundation, or even better a foundation sampler with a choice of shades. I feel like I am almost being teased that it is still on the website but unavailable for purchase.... and I am at least an hour drive from any Sephora stores so I can't even check to see if they have it in stock. Bummer :(

Bought this as a gift for my sister who was in need of some new products and she felt this was the perfect way to test out a lot of new, high quality items before investing in larger sizes.
Loved the colors and the amounts! Definitely recommend this as a great present or for yourself when you're looking for some new brands.

Quick Take: good value, perfect, amazing
I am so beyond impressed with this set. I got it for less than $40 because of the extra 20% off...what a steal! I already know and love most of these products. I was shocked at how many of them are full size. The only products I'm not totally sold on yet (mainly because I have not tried them) are Hope in a Jar because I have read some seriously mixed reviews and the NARS Illuminator because I am not quite sure how to use it.
If this set comes back in stock, make sure to get your hands on it because it is way worth it!
