Sephora's Favorites Value Sets 2014 | PART II: Meet Your Match

This is part II of sephora-value-set-cost-analysis series; if you’d like to check out part I, click here. 

In this post, I am going to analyze Meet Your Match, which is comprised of various lip and nail products. Notice that each nail-lip pairs are in red, nude, and purple colors. 

As always, here’s the picture:

Verdict: Again, still off from Sephora's set price but it’s not too terrible. You’ll be surely getting what you paid ($25). However, I am not too impressed with this kit. I think this kit would suit makeup lovers more than minimalists or makeup beginners. It’s generally difficult for any red, nude, or purple lip colors to suit the majorities of people, and hence there is more chance that these lip products would not look very flattering on me. Though I am not a nail person, I was more interested in the nail polishes in this set than the lippies, having heard so much good reviews on the quality of Deborah Lippman and Formula X. If I were to buy this kit, I would probably give away most of the items to my family and friends.
