Sephora is known for putting together their favorite products into one kit for customers to try. This is a great way to try out a range of products without spending full price on each individual product. I have always eyed these kits and finally decided to buy one when Sephora released their Set For Summer for $39.00.

This specific kit includes the reusable bag the products are packaged in plus 2 full size products and 7 deluxe size samples.

Full Size Products:

Sephora Collection Mono Eyeshadow in Choco Excess 19

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in the color Pop

Deluxe Size Samples:

Fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment
Guerlain L'Or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold Make-Up Base
Sephora by OPI nail colour in the shade I'm Wired

Too Faced Mini Peach Leopard Brightening & Perfecting Bronzer
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Make-Up Setting Spray

The first products I will talk about are the deluxe samples. The Fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment is a product that I have heard a lot about but never could get myself to spend the money on the full price product. So I was extremely happy that Sephora decided to include a deluxe sample of it in their summer kit. This particular shade gives the lips a pretty subtle red tint. I absoltutly love the way the lip treatment feels and it is probably my new favorite lip product that I own. However, I am still trying to decide if a tinted balm is worth spending $22.50 on.

Deluxe Sample Size: .08 ox (2.2 g)
Full Size: .15 oz
Full Size Price: $22.50

Guerlain L'Or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold Make-Up Base is from a brand that I have never tried before. I tend to stick with the same make-up base but it is always nice to have options and to try new things. However, the full size product is expensive and I can't imagine spending $71.00 on a make-up base.

Sephora by OPI nail colour in I'm Wired is described on the Sephora site as a bright coral red. In person this shade is closer to a hot pink, which is beautiful color on the toes for the summer.

The picture turned out much more reddish/orange, but the true color is much more of a hot pink

Deluxe Sample Size: .125 fl oz (3.75 ml)

Full Size: .5 fl oz

Full Size Price: $9.50

Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights in the shade Dusk has five different shades in one and when mixed together becomes a pretty bronze/gold shade. This product is typically either mixed together to be used on the cheeks or used as individual shades for eye shadow.

Deluxe Sample Size: .13 oz (3.61 g)

Full Size: .3 oz

Full Size Price: $30.00

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara in Black is a waterproof mascara that is suppose to stay put through rain, sweat, and tears. It claims to be a 4 in 1 mascara that will lengthen, curl, volumize, and condition your lashes.

Deluxe Sample Size: .10 fl oz (3 ml)

Full Size: .24 oz

Full Size Price: $19.00

Too Faced Mini Peach Leopard Brightening & Perfecting Bronzer is a matte peachy/bronze version of the more well known Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzer which I have a previous blog post that you can find here. This product is fairly light and will most likely need to be built up to appear on the skin. I had to layer the product on my hand several times before getting it to appear for the swatch photo.

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Make-Up Setting Spray is a make-up setting spray that is suppose to be used as a last step when applying products to the face. The spray should help prolong your make-up and keep it from wearing off throughout the day and is said to make make-up last for 16 hours. The All Nighter Spray is also said to be moisture resistant and can keep make-up in place through sweating, crying, or even while using a Jacuzzi! Make-up setters are especially great to have in the summer months since they can be used repeatedly throughout the day and can help you feel refreshed during the hot months.

NOW ON TO THE FULL SIZE PRODUCTS!

Sephora Collection Mono Eyeshadow in Choco Excess 19 is a full size Sephora brand eye shadow that is a beautiful brown shade with noticeable glitter throughout.

Full Size: .07 oz

Full Size Price: $12.00

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in the color Pop is a sheer light pink lip gloss. Although the sephora site shows the lip gloss with a doe foot applicator, the one in this kit had a brush applicator which I really enjoy.
