Sephora states that this kit has a value of $115 US! Overall I think that this kit has a fabulous selection of brands and products. I’ve heard a complaint from some people that Becca’s Opal was included in the last year’s Bronzey Favourites. I’ve never tried any of these products before so I was excited for everything!
Face
There are two base products in this kit – a bronzer and a highlighter. First thing you’ll notice – the size. These products are seriously weenie! I wasn’t expecting a full sized product in this kit but daaaamn these are tiny. Not that big of a deal to me because it takes me forever to get through powder products that aren’t foundations. If you’re also someone who uses super light highlight and contour, I’m quite sure you’ll like these!
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Temptalia describes the Nars Laguna Bronzer as a “medium-dark tan brown with warm, orange-yellow undertones and a golden shimmer-sheen finish.” It’s a cult classic! I’ll probably end up using it as a travel-sized contour/bronzer.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector
Becca is touted for their beautifully pigmented highlighters, and I was so excited to see Opal included in this set! Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal is described as a “golden opal pearl,” and works very well on my light – neutral skin tone. It also looks incredible as an eyeshadow!
Eyes
The two eye products included in this set are full sized! I must say, I absolutely love these two pencils. (Nail polish is Essie’s Lady Like – read about my spring nail polish picks here!)
Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner in Penny Lane
I don’t wear kohl liners that often (I’m more of a liquid kind of gal), but I’m still a huge fan of brown liners nonetheless! Penny Lane is more of a medium chocolate brown shade with shimmer. This is a twist up pencil that sharpens itself when you twist the cap back on. It has long staying power! You’ll definitely need a tough waterproof makeup remover or cleansing balm to take this one off though!

Body
There are two additional body items – The Vita Liberata Luxury Tan in Medium. I’ve never used a self tanner before but I can’t wait to test this out when it gets a bit warmer outside! Something to note though – the instructions say to apply with a mitt (to prevent streamy tan hands), but the kit itself does not come with a mitt.
There’s also a beautiful “Revved Up in Rose Gold” nail polish by Formula X! It’s super shimmery and glittery, perfect for summer. It’s a mini size though.
Aaaand here’s my look! I was wearing a lip tint before this that stained my lips a cherry pink – the lip products are actually more peachy coloured! I like how everything blended together though!
What are your thoughts on this kit? Have you tried any of these products before? What are your favourite products for that summer bronze?
Thanks for the awesome review!
You're welcome! 🙂
I just bought this today after reading your incredibly well done, and awesome review!
Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Do you have an affiliate link? I'm going to buy it thanks to your review so it'd be nice if you were compensated!
I don't, but thanks anyway! Enjoy the kit! 🙂
I have this on the way. I initially had buyers remorse but I think I'm keeping it after hearing so many gr8 things about it! It's no longer on Sephora.com so it must've been popular. The sets Sephora makes up are usually good too I had the nude lip set earlier this year. Good way to try products inexpensively. It reminds me of getting a box like boxycharm but ordering it. Fwiw I don't care if my mom gets mad I'm keeping this. Can't wait to try. Also the nailpolish is TDF I'll deffo use every single thing in this set. Thx 4 reviewing!!
