Sephora Favorites Super Stars Kit

It's that time of the year again where Sephora releases all of their holiday kits. I happened to get my hands on my personal favorite, the Super Stars. This kit is filled with all of the most popular/ greatest products from the year. This year the kit is including 8 FULL SIZE products!!

For 90 dollars Canadian, this kit is kind of expensive, but I think this year, the kit might be worth the price tag! Here is what is included.





Beautyblender

We all know the Beautyblender is a HUGE favorite of mine. I was really excited to see it included in this kit because not everyone sees the hype behind it and if you already love it, it is great to have an extra. This product is full size.

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

This mascara is supposed to give the illusion of false eyelashes. I personally like this mascara because of the amazing length it gives. I know this mascara isn't for everyone but it is great to try it! This product is travel size.





Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight

This is an oil-free cream highlighting stick. This highlighting stick is also supposed to be long wearing and you can wear it with or without makeup. I've never tried this product before and I am pretty excited about it. This product is full size.


LancĂ´me Drama Liqui-Pencil Eyeliner in Noir Intense

This is a extremely longwearing eyeliner pencil. it is called a liquid-pencil because it is supposed to have the high intensity colour pay off of a liquid liner but the ease of use of a pencil liner. This product is full size.

Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Highlight

This is a matte highlighting powder. It is described as a golden nude. I already own this product (so this will be included in an upcoming giveaway). I love using this product as my brow bone highlight and my inner corner highlight. This product is travel size.


MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Hydrating Primer

This primer is supposed to be for normal skin with the occasional dryness. All of these MUFE primers are supposed to balance the skin's texture an tone for smoother, more-even, and long lasting makeup application. I did get a sample of this primer and really liked it. This product is travel size.


NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Himalia

This eyeshadow is supposed to be crease proof and last up to eight hours. You can use a dry or wet application with these shadows. This colour is described as a Shimmering Topaz. This product is full size.


Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water

This is a makeup primer spray that hydrates the skin. This product can also be used as a makeup setting spray and as a refresher to "wake up" your makeup. I am currently using this product and it is doing a pretty great job. This product is travel size.




Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner in Intense Black

Everyone raves about this product and I just couldn't fall in love with it. This liquid liner has a felt tip, which I found extremely hard to use. It is a great eyeliner; it stays put and is waterproof. The color payoff is great too. This product is full size.



Tarte Contouring Face slenderizer in Park Ave Princess

This product is a contouring pencil. This formula is supposed to make it very easy to blend. This is the lightest shade this product comes in. This product is travel size.

Tarte The slenderizer bamboo contouring brush

I'm in love with this tiny little contouring brush. This brush is supposed to be used with the Tarte contouring pencil. The full sized version of this brush is double ended. The dense side (the one included in this kit) is to be used to contour. The other side (not included in this kit) is used to blend away harsh lines. I am super sad we didn't get the full sized brush. This product is travel size.


Touch in Sol Stretchex Stretch Lash Effect Mascara

I have never heard of this brand before but I am really excited to try it. This mascara is supposed to be a super light elastic formula that is supposed to give buildable length that will last all day. Hey, I love lengthening mascaras. This product is full size.





Urban Decay Eye shadow in Lounge

I'm personally a huge fan of Urban Decay eyeshadows. However I am not really excited about this colour, I feel like Sephora could have picked a more neutral colour. This colour is describe as brick red with a green shift and it's currently sold out online. This product is full size.


Overall, I think this kit would make a great gift for a beauty addict in your life or fore yourself if you want to try some new products. However, I don't think this is a great kit to get if you just want to add products to your collection because you (like me) have probably tried most of them. I also don't get how Sephora is claiming there is 8 full size products. While writing this review, I counted 7 full size products, so I don't know what else they are counting as "fullsize". 

Would you buy this kit? Are you excited for any of the holiday kits? Any kits you would like to see reviewed?

Stay beautiful
