I admit I was caught up in the packaging, colours and the box. No idea about the movie tie in, or if they'll do this type of collection again. The lipgloss is OK, but has a light in the wand which is a little silly and makes the garbage part of this kit higher than it needs to be, but i suppose if there's a make up related emergency, I'll have a light!
The eyeliner pen is OK. it's one of those felt tip types and seems to last.
The eyeshadow is OK, but nothing that I don't already have a better version of and the colours aren't as nice on as they are in the package.
I'll save my points money for something different next time.

Lise Watier Metamorfix Liquid Transformer Eyeliner
This stuff is great. But so is water. I bought this before I realized that water does exactly the same thing and do tend to take it with me when traveling or when I really don't want anything to move.

I think I keep getting these in promotion boxes as the ones I have are striped and not wedged. They last forever and give a soft shimmery glow. I use as blush and find they work well on very pale skin when used with a light touch. I guess I'll just wait until the current one runs low and look for another promotion box. -

I bought this because I didn't want to pay the MAC prices and honestly I can't see much of a difference. Toss the brush that comes with the kit and buy one for the liner (Quo) is fine. When I tried it with the enclosed brush I didn't like it at all, but product wouldn't spread but once I changed to another brush it was fine. -
MAC Cosmetics Fluidline
my main objection to this product is the price. I like it, it stays well, seems to have a good brown, which is harder to find than you might think. The purple isn't great, you can't really tell it's purple. So far the product hasn't dried out and... +
my main objection to this product is the price. I like it, it stays well, seems to have a good brown, which is harder to find than you might think. The purple isn't great, you can't really tell it's purple. So far the product hasn't dried out and I've had them awhile. -
TokyoMilk Marque Deposee Dark Lip Elixir
i like the flavour and the smell of this lip balm. And the tin is generous, but i find it a bit too 'vaseliney' for my liking. I have a few pots and once they're gone, a repurchase will be under consideration but not definite.

As my MAC brushes bought in my 20's started to go, Quo was new and I tried a couple of them. In large part because they were about half the cost of MAC brushes. This is going back a few years, and you have to understand that then there was very little available that was decent quality. either you bought cheap and got cheap, or you paid and got quality. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd set of Quo now, and because of Shopper's points haven't paid for one in years. Decent quality. Decent price, even better on sale or on points. And if you keep them cleaned they'll last you a few years. I've never gone back to MAC. -

I like bronzers as blush. they add some much needed colour and a little shimmer. This particular bronzer is a little more matte, and looks muddy in the box but seems to adapt once put on. I received this in a collection available at Christmas, with some eye cream, some mascara and something else I don't recall, and have kept using both the eye cream (it's potent) and the bronzer. -
Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings
I only end up using the wax side of this box, but it lasts forever and adds enough colour to fill in my light brows and the wax seems to keep them in place. And washes off at the end of the day. Last for ages. Also love the itty bitty tweezers... +

Also love the itty bitty tweezers that come with the kit. They're useless, but their adorable.

L'Oreal Paris Wear Infinite Eyeshadow Quads
I bought these with the word LOVE etched in the 4 colours, so it was probably a few years ago and i find the 'darker' colours muddy and the lighter colours, too pale. I don't end up reaching for them too often.
