Meh.
This was one of the first non-drugstore items that I bought for myself, and definitely one of the first kits. I had heard great things about the photofinish primer, and smashbox in general, and wanted to give it a try. The dual ended brush is alright--it's good quality, I just don't like that kind of eyeliner brush. I loved the color options of the eyeliner, but they all smudged and faded on me. T...read morehe brow powder was quite nice. The photo op eye stuff did nothing for me at all. The gloss was nice--lightly scented, nicely shiny, just the right amount of tack and moisturized decently. The primer was awful--it made me break out, it looked great for about an hour, and then made my face an oily mess. This isn't worth the money,This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Decent Kit...
The products in this kit are all good..although I never did watch the video. This kit got me totally addicted to the smashbox primer. The rest was just okay. Good price if you want to try Smashbox products. Looks small but a little really goes a long way with these products.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Good trial kit, horrible liner!
This is an excellent kit for people wanting to try Smashbox. It includes their Photo Finish Primer, lip gloss, eye brightener, six liners, a duel-end brush, and a DVD. ~Photo Finish Primer: Everyone knows this is a great product. ~Lip Gloss: I was surprised to find this particular gloss is scented. I don't care for scented glosses but it's subtle enough that I'll still wear it. The gloss...read more itself, as always with Smashbox, is superb, stays on, and keeps your lips moist. ~Eye Brightener: A new product I will NEVER be without. Absolutely PERFECT below, above the brows and beneath the eyes. This is one of those "miracle" products that is so subtle on the face but makes a WORLD of difference! This tiny tube will last eons if you use it sparingly. The tip is way too big so be sure to just tip it slightly and the product will come right now. No need to squeeze. ~Brow Powder: Very nice stuff. Sadly you'll use the wax up long before the powder. The angled brush is perfect for application. Three colors can be blended for a custom shade. I'm dark blonde and use mostly the Blonde and Taupe. ~Eye Liner: Now we come to the low rating. At first I thought this stuff was amazing (hence my 10-star review on the individual product). Well, I was wrong. Color=great. Application=great. Consistency=great. Non-Irritating=great. Longevity=non-existent. This will evaporate from your eyes in an hour. It's a HUGE shame because the colors are stunning. ~DVD: Nothing an advanced user doesn't know but nice to see. Gets you in the mood to put on Smashbox...just what they want. :) Overall, a solid B-. Would have been A+ if the liner was good, but sadly it is not.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
