My Thoughts: Sephora's sampler kits have always been good in the past, but this new slew of releases is downright awesome! I love that they've included some high-end items such as the Givenchy gloss and Guerlain Meteorites, and each set contains multiple items that I already love (such as the Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash which is good stuff) and even more that I'd love to try (such as Cargo's LashActivator).

As always I happen to think these are a tad overpriced, but if they're within your budget I think they'd make somebody an amazing stocking stuffer or holiday gift!

I really like the My First Makeup Kit Deluxe Sampler.

Shonn said on September 26, 2009 at 9:35 AM

I think the glitz and glam one looks most appealing. I love the mini metoerites

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 26, 2009 at 9:49 AM

Lilly I think it's a great set, even or those who already have huge makeup collections like me!

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 26, 2009 at 9:51 AM

Shonn I do too! I saw those and was all "ooooh I want" - they look so cute!

♥ mia said on September 26, 2009 at 11:48 AM

wow that First Makeup Kit Deluxe Sampler looks great!

i dunno about that mascara sampler though. they might just all dry up before u even finish half of em

Maggie said on September 26, 2009 at 12:09 PM

I really love the My First Makeup Kit Sampler! :D

Anonymous said on September 26, 2009 at 1:33 PM

These ones are nicer then the previous ones. I am also surprised by the inclusion of Guerlain Meteorites. Those little pearls are pricey. I wish they had done one that had more eye stuff though. They have mascara, but I would love to see one that has more shadows and liners.

Catherine said on September 26, 2009 at 4:32 PM

Oh my - I kind of really want the first set, if not just for the mini meteorites! So cute!

. : * justine * : . said on September 26, 2009 at 4:38 PM

I hope they have testers out for these! Glitz and Glam is calling to me, the mini Meteorites look so cute!

~Lisa said on September 26, 2009 at 7:20 PM

Gosh! These sample kits look great!

I agree with Lilly, I really want the My First Makeup Kit Set. Everything looks very wearable and something that I'll very enjoy.

Also when they say "$89 value for $32" Do they mean that it retails for $89 if you purchase each item separately but is the retail price the price of the samples or the full size products?

Lolo said on September 27, 2009 at 12:45 PM

wow I really like the All Glitz Hits set! I guess that will be my birthday present to myself! hahaha

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM

Mia that's a valid concern! I hardly ever finish a mascara though so it might be nice to have miniatures instead.

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM

Me too Maggie, it's a really great travel set!

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 27, 2009 at 8:08 PM

Deb that hadn't occurred to me but now that you've mentioned it I too would love to see something like that! I'd be all for a set with a bunch of different liquid and pencil liners in it with a few different eyeshadow primers in there as well.

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 27, 2009 at 8:09 PM

Aren't they darling Catherine? I'm dying to see them in person!

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 27, 2009 at 8:09 PM

Justine I'll be on the lookout for these the next time I visit Sephora. I know a lot of us won't be able to resist those mini Meteorites!

T.R. said on September 28, 2009 at 1:33 AM

I really love the first 3 samplers. They are all ones I'd purchase. Especially 1&3. Maybe I'll put this on the wish list. At least one of them. :O)

. : * justine * : . said on September 28, 2009 at 7:53 AM

Hm I'm also wondering if the Radiant Skin Regimen kit will actually appear in Canada as Sephora doesn't actually ship any Perricone MD products here... hmm...

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 28, 2009 at 2:19 PM

Talia those are my favorites as well, although if I really had to choose just one, I'd go with #3 simply because while #1 is fun-filled and really beautiful, I know that I'd get some serious use out of the items in set 3. Not that I actually need more makeup!

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 28, 2009 at 2:19 PM

Justine do you know if there's a reason that the Perricone MD products don't ship to Canada? That's so interesting, I had no idea!

CC said on September 28, 2009 at 4:10 PM

Glad I've been saving up some cash! It will be hard to decide which of these to purchase!

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 28, 2009 at 4:20 PM

CC aren't they all pretty fabulous? I remember when Sephora first started doing these I wasn't all that impressed, but lately they've really been upping the wow-factor on their sets!

barbie_slayer said on September 28, 2009 at 7:47 PM

I'm loving all the new sampler sets as well...waiting for F&F! ;)

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 28, 2009 at 8:28 PM

Me too barbie_slayer, it's my favorite time of year!

Charm Candy said on September 29, 2009 at 1:36 AM

Hey! Just thought I'd let you know that the OPI 212 polish is back in stock. If you don't get a chance to nab one I ordered two! Hopefully they have a healthy supply.. I bet people are going to be ordering like mad!

. : * justine * : . said on September 29, 2009 at 8:27 PM

The actual Perricone MD site ships to Canada so I have no idea why Sephora doesn't. Though until recently MUFE, Givenchy didn't ship either. Clinique and Lancome don't either (but they sell those here??) and Illamasqua doesn't. Sephora is very odd in what they'll ship internationally, I find. :S

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 30, 2009 at 8:21 PM

Tori thanks so much for the heads up! I'm definitely heading on over to the site to check it out - too bad I just placed a Sephora order =X. Am I silly to hate paying for shipping?

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 30, 2009 at 8:22 PM

Justine that's so strange!

Charm Candy said on September 30, 2009 at 9:01 PM

Haha, no, I never want to pay shipping! There's a code on pf's Deals & Steals -- says FUN92 will work for free s&h on orders over $25. I don't know if it's still valid but it doesn't hurt to try ;)

A Beautyful Sentiment (*Jen*) said on September 30, 2009 at 9:33 PM

Tori I'll have to give it a shot. Not that I actually don't have stuff I want from Sephora - I just need to cut back on the spending =D. It's mostly been on RAOK stuff though so I don't feel guilty!
