This was a QVC TSV set in July. When I first got it, I wanted to try out the foundation, and the set was an amazing deal. I bought the color medium, not thinking much since I am a medium in their maracuja creaseless concealer and in their pressed powder. It is WAY too orange and dark on me. They have expanded the color range, but I tried warm beige and it was still too dark. I am NC25-30 FYI. I was willing to keep the set since I liked the maracuja oil in a roller ball, which itself was worth it for me in the set. The foundation brush is good and I see myself using it for foundation or as a blush brush. The lipsurgence lip shine is a very wearable pink. It is moisturizing. Love their lipsurgence sticks. The moderneyes eyeliner and eyeshadow stick is beautiful, but after a couple days of use, my sensitive eyes were stinging all day when I wore it and went away once I stopped. The gifted clay mascara reminds me of LCL mascara.. It is a decent mascara that doesn't seem too wet, so it doesn't uncurl my curled lashes which would otherwise be stick straight. All and all, it was a good set especially for the price... I just have sensitive eyes and my light yellow skin tone is also harder to match.
