What it is: A sexy, limited-edition three-piece gift set featuring Givenchy’s all-time bestseller Phenomen’Eyes Mascara and Magic Kajal Eye Pencil wrapped up in a black lace cosmetic pouch.What it does: Phenomen’Eyes waterproof mascara boasts a ball-shaped brush that delivers a curling, panoramic, and high-definition makeup result. This new-generation formula contains fluid polymers that fix actives and pigments for a waterproof-makeup result.

Also, the low content of waxes creates a fluid and extremely light texture that's comfortable to wear and easy to apply.Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil reveals the beauty of eyes with a very intense carbon black shade to apply around the inner rim of the eyelids. Inspired by the kajal used by Indian women, the pencil contains wax and oil making the texture creamy and generous. The formula is enriched with vitamin E for a smooth application and is long lasting allowing your dark, eye-catching look to last all day.This set contains:- 0.09 oz Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in 1 Magic Black- 0.24 oz Phenomen'Eyes Panoramic Mascara in 1 Phenomen'Black- Black Lace Zippered PouchWhat else you need to know: This set also includes a complimentary gift of a lace pouch designed by the Givenchy house of couture.

Love Mascara & lace bag!
-05.10.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
The mascara is amazing. Lace bag is beautiful. Eye pencil is a mess... it gets everywhere once you put it on its all over your eyes and face. I was shocked to even find it on my nose after I left the house. Lace bag & mascara A++++

Great bag and great liner
-05.08.13
Quick Take: good value
The bag alone was the reason for my purchase, it's exactly what I wanted. Perfect for my nights out. The liner is great for water lining because it's so dark and creamy, stings my eyes a little but I wear it anyway. The Mascara looks great on, but it's sticky, so the only way I can wear it is if I only put mascara on my top lashes. Overall very happy with the clutch, so the rest of the items were a bonus.

Great Bargain
-05.07.13
Quick Take: good value
I love love love this set. The mascara is one of the best that I have ever used. It leaves my lashes shiny and black but not stiff, which is very important to me. The eyeliner is fabulous, it is perfect for waterlining and tightlining. The bag is very cute. All in all, a very good deal.

Holy awesome!!!!!
-05.06.13
Quick Take: portable, good value, mascara=heaven
For starters, this is hands down the best mascara I have ever used. I was mainly buying this set because of the mascara, but the eyeliner and bag are awesome too! The products are full size and the bag is gorgeous. I gave this product four stars because the eyeliner isn't really as great as I expected it to be. It's a bit smudgy and hard to apply because the pencil is so thick. I would definitely recommend this product because of the mascara.

Love the Mascara
-04.23.13
Quick Take: sticky, lengthening
I am loving the Phenomen'Eyes mascara! It separates each lash and makes them look so much longer. It does not clump together; each lash stands out! However, I wasn't too pleased with the eye pencil or with the products together. The eye pencil went on my water line perfectly, but would smear and smudge onto my skin, producing a messy result. The pencil would also make my mascara sticky, so my eyelashes would stick together when I would blink. This does not happen when I wear the mascara alone.
I will definitely buy the mascara again, but the eye pencil...not so much.

Love it
-04.20.13
I love this set! The mascara is full size and of course extends my eyelash significantly. I love the bag because its well designed, small, and doesn't need too much space in my tote. I haven't use the pencil yet, but this set is definitely highly recommended.

Too Smuggy
-04.11.13
I was so excited to try the Kohl pencil. When the Givenchy guy in the store did my makeup, it looked amazing. When I did it myself, I found the pencil was A) too fat B) too smugy, and within an hour of wearing this I looked like a Racoon. Not recommended.

Quick Take: coats lashes well, doesn't smudge, black enough
I bought it because I was curious about the mascara. I don't regret it!
The mascara is more than interesting. It works! I coats my lashes 360 degrees, lengthens, and grabs even the tiniest lash. It's a web mascara, so it's very easy to seperate your lashes if you accidentally put on too much. It takes a little practice but once you get used to it, you can create very beautiful lashes. I have been using this mascara every day since I got it two weeks ago. I own many mascaras... The fact that it keeps me coming back to use it means it's really good.
I am not to impressed by the chubby liner. It smudges all over me every time I do smoky eyes. But I love this mascara so much that I am keeping this set. :-)

Interesting!
-03.25.13
The wand on this mascara is really odd - like a spikey little ball (and I mean little) but after a demo I was interested enough to purchase.
I have to say that it makes my lashes super long, separated and glossy. I love that. It takes a little bit of practice to get used to this type of wand and I have to apply it differently than other mascaras. I first apply with back and forth motions (horizontally) first on the front of my lashes and then on the backside. After that, I hold the wand vertically to separate and define each lash with upward vertical strokes. This mascara is very wet and tends to clump at first, but you can easily separate the lashes. More than 2 coats is too much because the mascara tends to leave excess at the lash tips if you use too much. I have had to use an extra spoolie on occasion to remove excess product.
You have to be careful because its so wet at first that when you blink it leaves little spots on your eyelid. Practice makes perfect and this isn't a mascara you should use when you're rushed, but if you can take the time to play with it, the payoff is great!

NOT WATERPROOF!
-03.14.13
im soooooo MAD! i bought 3 of these thinking they were all waterproof as falsely listed in the description! the kohl liner is amazing, the mascarra is good too but my eye water throughout the day and i love waterproof mascarra because it wont budge imagine my anger when i had HUGE BLACK SPOTS ALL OVER MY FACE WITH JUST A FEW TEARS. I LOVE THE KOHL FOR TIGHTL LINING BECAUSE ITS SOOOO CREAMY! Creamier than the Too faced eyeliners. im returning 1 set and just keep the 2 i got. its all personal preference i guess but sephora needs to take that description off

$75 for a liner and mascara? Come on. My Urban Decay liner and palette is far more beneficial and Dior has a great mascara for bottom lashes (although, really, I don't think it's necessary to use a different mascara and I have long lashes naturally).

Great set!!! Contrary to what the other review says, the mascara IS a full size mascara, and the magic kajal eyeliner is also full size. Two must-haves for everyone tucked in a perfect little pouch. Set is a no-brainer - perfect!!
