The color combination is okay…but a bit pallid (especially considering the kit name). These are both re-released eye colors, and they’re not even among the strongest neutrals that BE has in its palette. The blush duo is an item that’s been around for a while, as well. At least they included a duo that contains a softer pale blush (Sorbet) and a softer deep blush (Joyous Jennifer) so that the kit works on a wider range of skin tones. The overall composition and price of this kit - two eyecolors, mascara, face color, all items full-size - are similar to other Nordstrom’s-exclusive BE kits like the various In Fashion kits and 2009’s Buzzworthy kit.

This kit contained:

• Purist — pale yellow matte
• Saucy — soft cinnamon-brown sheen
• Sorbet — soft ballet pink sheen
• Joyous Jennifer — deep berry-brown sheen (part of a blush duo)
• 100% natural lipgloss in Pink Lemonade
• Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara in black

If you've bought BE for some time, you probably have almost all of the items in this kit. The only thing that's new is the Pink Lemonade natural lip gloss...and since I don't like their lip glosses and so don't really pay attention to them, I can't vouch for that, either. The eye colors, the mascara, and even the blush duo are currently available for individual purchase through BE's webstore, if you want just one or two items.
