The Sephora Favorites “Glitz & Glam” Sampler Kit is a box filled with deluxe samples of best-selling and favorite Sephora products that shine and shimmer. I cannot tell you how much I adore the “Sephora Favorites” kits. I think it is a fantastic idea to offer a kit with many deluxe samples rather than committing to a full-size product you might dislike. It is a great way to try out a variety of products in a particular category (i.e, perfume, mascara) without breaking the bank. This particular kit even comes with a “FREE 100 V.I.B BEAUTY POINTS” (which is equivalent to another free deluxe sample of your choice) if you purchase a full size product that is contained within the kit. I feel that if Sephora started including a perk inside every Sephora Favorites kit, more consumers would be likely to purchase a full-size product they enjoyed in the kit.

Glitz & Glam Sampler Kit is all about sparkle, shine, and shimmer! In this kit, Sephora includes a variety of glamorous products, including lip gloss, blush, eyeshadow, and face products. You get a really great variety of best-sellers to choose from, which drew me to this product. Oh, yeah…and I also love glitzy things! I will take you through each deluxe sample that this limited edition kit comes with:
Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure: This is a shimmering loose pink powder that can be used all over, or on the eyes or cheekbones. This literally looks like fairy dust in the container!
LORAC Perfectly Lit “Spotlight”: This powder is a highlighter for your face and body. You can use this on your cheekbones, shoulders, or even eyes. The effect is literally like a “spotlight” effect…shimmering and lit up.
Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Mineral Veil “Illuminating”: This is your perfect face powder or face finisher for an overall shimmering, glowing effect. I was first introduced to this powder by someone who is a huge Bare Escentuals addict, and she gifted me a full-size of this product, which I love.
Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil: Josie Maran’s brand of natural cosmetics is becoming more and more popular as time goes on. Her Argan Oil products have made her famous, and this is a bronzing version of it.
Tarte Natural Cheek Stain “Glam”: Tarte, a natural cosmetics brand, is known for their cheek stains. They are a very popular and best-selling product from their cosmetics line. This cheek stain comes in a sparkling gold container, and puts down natural, coral color. My test subject was my niece who was job-shadowing me for a school project.
NARS Orgasm Illuminator “Peach”: Ah, yet another famous product that is renowned worldwide! This highlighter, in the infamous peachy pink shade “Orgasm,” will light up your skin with natural looking shimmery pigments.
Tarte Smooth Operator Illuminating Serum: This is a creamy, rich liquid containing illuminating sheen and color to it. A little goes a long way with this product, which I love.
Tarte Lock & Roll 12-hour Eyeshadow “Bronze / Cream”: This was actually my first experience with this product, and I have to say that out of everything in this kit, I was most surprised by how gorgeous this was. A dual ended product, one end has a cream eyeshadow, and one has a roller for powder eyeshadow. The effect is shimmering and natural.
Sephora Collection Electro Eyeliner “Copper”: This eyeliner is your gleaming, bright, eye-popping bronze copper. It is very shimmery and metallic, and will really stand out.
LORAC Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss “3D”: This lip gloss has a strong holographic effect to it, making it look gorgeous in the container. Unfortunately, it’s fairly sheer, and doesn’t put down a whole lot of color. I think this would be a great top coat over another lip color, though!
Tarina Tarantino Gem Gloss “Disco Nap”: This lip gloss looks almost like a little girls “play makeup” because it’s so pink and bright. It is very sheer and puts down very fine pink sparkles when applied.
The Sephora Favorites “Glitz & Glam” Sampler Kit will give you a great idea of what you do like and don’t like when it comes to shimmer in cosmetics. You can try before you buy, without breaking the bank. I also always love to try and discover new products, so these kits are incredible to me.
The Sephora Favorites “Glitz & Glam” Sampler Kit retails for $39 and is limited edition, sold exclusively at Sephora stores nationwide, and at Sephora online.
