Quick Take: good value, travel size, good purchase
i purchased this set because my go-to mascara was bad gal whose small size costed $9 whereas in this set i got 3 products for $12. So firstly i guess it was very well worth it. I love this mascara, i really see a difference in my lashes after applying this. I have tried almost all the Lancome ones but this one is still my favorite go-to mascara.
The BO-ING product i'm not so fond of. I don't like that the color range is so limited and it looked very obvious that i had makeup on when i wore this product. wouldn't buy full size.
As for hoola, i had never tried it hence got the opportunity to with this set purchase. Im light skin so too faced milk chocolate soliel and Guerlain 4-seasons bronzer in blondes are my strict 2 bronzers. But in the case of contouring I honestly prefer the Nars Laguna to Hoola more so because I'm used to it and it was my first ever bronzer-sentimental value,yes. But I guess their both almost exactly the same. Il probably carry this travel size hoola on vacation as Nars Laguna has a terrible habit of cracking and i HATE using cracked makeup products.

Fantastic little set
-01.07.13
This set has very decent sizes to be so low priced. I love the some kinda gorgeous. It won't really work perfect for fair complexions but I mixed mine with the light and it works perfectly. It goes on like a liguid and immedietly turns to powder. Heavy coverage. The badgal lash is great and this is my first time trying hoola and it's a very nice pearly finish bronze shade

The Hoola and Some Kinda Gorgeous is very small, but the Bad Gal Mini is worth the price alone. I bought 2 of these kits and was very happy I did

Not the best
-01.06.13
I have been using the BADgal mascara for quite some time now, it is decent. I like how it makes my eyelashes look. I can't give a full review on Hoola because I haven't used it as much. However, the Kinda-A Gorgeous was awful! Completely a waste of money. Glad I had the sample instead of the full size product because I disliked it. The texture was way too greasy, and the smell of the product was disgusting. The coverage was OK, but the smell was way to strong to wear. I was just not that impressed with this little set.

I loved the Hoola, but didnt really use the other two products since I had others that worked a little bit better for me. I won't buy the set again, but will by the Hoola to use for contouring.

Quick Take: good value, travel size
Its a good product to but so you can also try out different products from the benefit line..
The Hoola Bronzer is my favorite. I went out and bought the full size!! I love the color and its matte so even better. I use it for contouring.
The some kind a gorgeous is not my fave.. I don't even use it.. thats the reason for the 4 stars
The mascara is pretty good.. I like it and will be buying the full size..

Good deal!
-01.01.13
Quick Take: good deal, quality
Before I bought this kit, the only product I had used before was the mascara, which I loved. I'd always wanted to try Hoola, but it's so expensive separately. When I used it, I thought it was the best bronzer I have ever used! The color worked perfectly on my skin tone (medium beige) and did not look at all like a "Snooki Orange". Some Kinda Gorgeous is a perfect match on my skin as well, and I only used it as a concealer to hide blemishes, because I don't like to wear a lot of foundation. As a concealer, it covered great! The mascara (which I previously said I've used before) is a great mascara, but I've used better ones before (I'm a big fan of Bare Escentual's "Full Definition"). Big Gal Lash is really good for volumizing and lengthening, and is a pretty good mascara. Overall, I would recommend buying this set because it was a great deal!

Quick Take: good value, travel size, great varity, low price
I bought this product because I wanted to try out Benefit Cosmetics but they can get pricey. The some kind of gorgeous is one of the best products I have try'ed , it is very build-able but so light and long wearing. The Badgal lash is a great masscara. Hoola bronzer is very raved about but I think its just okay but it might be my skin tone or type (combanation). Overall I was very impressed by this kit. Great good Benefit

Awesome samplers!
-12.27.12
Quick Take: good value, travel size, good products
I really just bought this 6 months or so back because I wanted to try out Benefit. And these three products for only $15 was an awesome deal.
The bronzer is VERY pigmented, and isn't to chalky.
I don't really use the mascara, because I have so many and I want to use them up. But the brush on it is HUGe, and super-volumizes your lashes.
The foundation faker is very thin, and gives a very natural look. I blend it with my lighter concealer for my everyday look.
Over a great kit for a great price!

Really tiny!
-12.26.12
Quick Take: good value, travel size
I was honestly shocked when I pulled these products out of the box. I mean, I knew they weren't going to be large by any means, but the lack of product was startling. Anywho, around that, the foundation faker is neat. I love the formula, however I have to agree that it has a funny scent. The Hoola bronzer is so tiny it's nearly impossible to extract product from the thing with a brush! When I use my fingers, it's difficult to apply, but it seems to have still won me over on the colour side. Last but not least, the BadGal Lash masacara.... let's just say, I'm going back for the full size xD

So, So.
-11.26.12
I love the fact that it's affordable and still cute. The size is pretty good for the price and it'll be great for travel, definitely. Everyone kept raving about Hoola bronzer and so I was expecting something great, but creates lots of fallout in the pan and it gets kinda messy/dirty. Looks okay on the face though! The mascara is okay as well. The wand is nice and big but I think the only reason why I am not truly fond of it is because my lashes are so short so I have to make sure I slow down when applying it so that I won't get any mascara on my lids. The "Some kind of gorgeous" is alright. I think the formula is cool, but other than that, I haven't really touched it. It has a weird scent and I'm not too fond of that.

I really like the hoola bronzer! it is so good and there are no shimmers. The mascara is really good too, it makes my lashes to long! The only thing I didn't like it the foundation. It dries so fast and it smellls TERRIBLE! But, for the price I am so happy I got this set!

I can't speak about the mascara as I gave it away, but the bronzer is soft and effortless to blend, and suits my medium olive complexion. The foundation faker is not the greatest as it dries up on the skin rather quickly, but I might not be using it correctly. Overall, a decent buy for the amount of product you get.

I wanted to try the bad gal lash mascara and was going to buy the sample separately, but for $2 I decided to buy this to try the other products. I love the mascara. I didn't quite care for the others, but loved getting to try it for the price.

Quick Take: travel size
I love Benefit! HOWEVER these items are too small to mess with. The concept is cute with getting so many items for a good price, but when you see the size and actually try to apply them you see that they are too small.. or at least for my taste. (Especially the Hoolia.) I would suggest buying if these are already your faves and ant travel sizes of them!

Ive never tried anything from Benefit other than the Badgal mascara so i decided to get this because it was on sale. I was surprised that these were SO tiny! I would say they are deluxe sample size, good for travel, or to try them out like I wanted to. I fell in loooove with Hoola! makes my skin look sunkissed and healthy.
