Review 1 for Primping With The Stars
It's so-so.
-05.14.13
Quick Take: good value
The only reason I bought this was because of the Porefessional and Stay Don't Stray that I really love and I also wanted to try their "They're Real" mascara and Benetint.
Generally, the tint and mascara are nothing extra special. I think they're over-hyped.
The cream/gel to powder foundation does not suit my oily skin at all, tossed it.
The mascara is too liquid for my taste, although it does amp up my lashes! I just can't use it very well on my lower lash line since I'm not so gifted there. The staying power is good, it didn't smudge as far as I noticed. So, I would give it a 3 out of 5.
The tint can be drying on the lips, I rarely use it on my cheeks, but I guess it's a good travel companion, but nothing I would go crazy over. I would give it a 3 out of 5 as well. I haven't used the highlighter yet.
All in all it's a great way to try out benefit products and a more pocket-friendly price if you love the Porefessional, They're Real mascara, and Stay Don't Stray primer considering that Porefessional alone is $30.

Quick Take: good value, travel size
I love Benefit's many sample-size kits because they give consumers the opportunity to try lots of products without having to go all in and invest 30 bucks in the full size product.
This kit is a star (ha!) among Benefit's kits. At first, I was skeptical about Benetint and the Some Kinda Gorgeous on the grounds that they might be too dark on my fair/light skin. I was completely wrong about the Benetint--unless you really layer it on, it provides the most beautiful pink tint to your lips. It also gives a really natural pink tint to the cheeks. The Some Kinda Gorgeous, however, is too dark for me but I'm sure it will enter my daily rotation come summer and a tan.
I mainly bought this kit to try out They're Real mascara, Porefessional primer, and That Gal brightener, and I was not disappointed in the least. If you wiggle the wand, the mascara gives absolutely unbelievable length and pretty decent thickness. That Gal gives the prettiest, subtle, "lit from within" glow that isn't too over the top, like Watt's Up can be. The Porefessional is great at hiding my pores, and, remarkably, has not broken me out even though I use it every day.
I'm planning on buying the full size of every product besides the Some Kinda Gorgeous once I run out of these sample sizes.

Review 7 for Primping With The Stars
delightful set!
-05.07.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, convenient
I love this set! I often am tempted by the benefit sets of goodies all in one little box, but find I am disappointed when I have to carry the box around, because two or three of the items are attached to the larger-than-necessary packaging. This set has several items I already love, and every one of the pieces comes out of the box and can be carried around individually. I was already familiar with the mascara- "They're Real!" is my current favorite because it stays all day without flaking into my sensitive eyes, and is clean looking and not clumpy. "Some Kinda Gorgeous" is very nice- a little coverage, a little mattification, but not a heavy make-up look. Bene-tint is a lovely, rosy, glowy color on cheeks or lips, and feels like it disappears into skin, texture-wise, which is great. "The Pore-fessional" is new to me, and I love it, too! "Stay Don't Stray," is new to me, but seems quite nice from the once I've tried it so far, and though I haven't used the "Girl Meets Pearl" yet, I already find the package deal to be worth the money.

All my favorite benefit items! Stay don't stray is THE BEST! This set is a great value if you've never tried these before and want to test them out or if you love all the ones in the set like me.

Review 17 for Primping With The Stars
It was okay
-04.17.13
Quick Take: good value
This is a great starter kit if you wanted to try out delux samples of all the products. The girl meets pearl is a beautiful light pink luminizer. Porefessional is a good primer. It made my skin feel really smooth but i didnt see that much of a difference in the logevity of my foundation. It would be good for someone who has problems with there pores. There real rocks! the bene-tint is okay. I loved the color for a subtle flush but it didnt last very long. The foundation only comes in meduim so i couldn't really use it. i love the stay dont stray. But remember your paying five dollars for each item.

Great for testing!
-04.16.13
This a fantastic kit to start with if you are new to the products. The foundation is a bit too dark for my fair skin, but everything else is great. The Benetint lip and cheek stain leaves a very natural flush, almost like you just got done laughing!
