Full Size Me: Value Set


So I promised more full sized value sets and that's what you're going to get. Full sized value sets are only really a value if you know you tend to like that companies products. You tend to like those particular shades or you know you like those exact products. Otherwise they are cheaper but if you might not end up using them they aren't a true value. Don't go by the value on they say its worth on the box. That is truthfully incorrect most of the time. They overestimate according to fluid and viscous ounces your receiving. Most importantly only buy the full size value sets if you are a Pro Artist and need them for your kit or if you know you like and use those items. We'll be talking about how to make your own value set by collecting travel size duo's and individuals, tomorrow.

Color Guide: I included an image of each value set for your full information.
Black - full sized and good value if you know you like them 
Blue- Great Value & exclusive item
Fuchsia- good for Pro use
Red- popular items & pretty good value

Full Price & Difference: $53.00 - 35.00= $18.00
Note: These are two vary popular items that usually sell for about $26 a piece. So the savings is considerable if you know you use bareMinerals primer and original foundation.

Price: $35.00 or $11.67/item
Full Price & Difference: $66.10 - 35= $31.10
Note: You cannot get the palette on its own but the lip gloss alone is $18 and a bareMinerals brush runs about the same, $36, on those two items alone.

Note: You'd have to love Tarte's cheek stains, all of them, or be a Pro to get value out of this set. They are full size and usually do cost $30 a pc. but I can't see anyone needing this many stains and loving all  the colors enough unless like I said your a Pro.

Note: Separate set of Lip Tar in Nylon, Harlot, Trollop. Sephora lists a $74 value, incorrect. Each individual tar costs $18 and comes with a brush. You only get 1 brush for all 3 here so really its worth less than $54.00. A deal but not a value.
