But I would waste so much of that. I used to work for a Lancome/L'Oreal distributor. They'd let us spend $CDN100 and buy stuff at discount once a year, and I'd give so much of it away and still end up with stuff left over years later. Makeup, shampoo, perfume, I outfitted friends and family for forever.

Yeah, that's the thing, I think. I don't think I'm serious enough to buy that big a collection, even in small sample sizes. But when I look up other kits and palettes, it's close to that price anyway. So I dunno.

Yeah. Cost-wise it's a really good deal. I personally would not use much of it though.

I almost never bought big palette collections because I basically use too few colors.

I am wicked tired. Tomorrow, I have another round of observations. Luckily I proctored the SAT from my room so it's in decent shape. And I made posters of my standard sets and they are laminated, ready to be posted.

Yeah, I always love the look of the blockbuster, but would never use most of the stuff.

In terms of cost, that giant palette collection from Sephora is a great deal. But there are way too many colors in it I wouldn't ever touch.

I don't need to spend $25 on black lipstick, right? Even if the packaging is gorgeous. [link]

It's the array that's so pretty, like a huge box of crayons. But I would never wear half of what's in there, either. I always wind up wearing the same few colors.

What everyone else said. I have a big palette thingy and only use 2-3 colors if I want to mix it up when going out. Cuz my everyday colors are a different brand.

ETA: I still kinda covet the Sephora one though. That's a lot of colors!

That looks like it would be fun to play with.

The reviews say it's smaller in size than the picture looks. It's advertised as travel size. But yeah, it's definitely big in quantity. Does it come with references so that I could buy full sizes of what I like, I wonder?
