Sephora has released a fantastic set for the balm and gloss lovers out there. The 5 products include 2 full-size items; Fenty lip gloss and NARS lip treatment, and 3 mini items; Too Faced Lip Injection plumper, Lancome Juicy Tube, and Patrick Ta Lip Shine.
This set retails for $29 USD (before tax) which works out to about $5.80 per product. The best part about this set aside from the amazing products that you get a chance to try out is what a great value this set is! In fact as we will discover below, the mini sizes are almost full size. We have a full size Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in FU$$Y which retails for $19 and a full size NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in Orgasm which retails for $28. The mini Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss in Magic Spell is 10 mL, while the full size is 15 mL and retails for $20. The mini Patrick Ta Lip Shine in She’s Expensive is 3 mL, the full size 7 mL is $22. Finally, the mini Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper in Original Clear is 1.5 g, and the full size is 2.8 g for $16. The $84 value advertised is quite a steal indeed!
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in FU$$Y
This is one of my favorite products in this set. It smells amazing and fruity, and leaves a beautiful non-sticky, yet hydrating feeling on my lips. I love the color and it truly is one of the best lip glosses that I have used.
NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in Orgasm
I was very excited to try this balm, especially because this lip balm alone pays for the whole Sephora set. I love the sheer wash of color, and the lip balm feels very comfortable on my lips. I enjoy wearing this on my no makeup days.

Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss in Magic Spell
The scent of this, reminds me of a summer day, it is phenomenal. I love the sparkly shine it gives my lips. The applicator is easy to use and is very nice for on the go days. I will try other colors from this brand.
Patrick Ta Lip Shine in She’s Expensive
The formula itself is not sticky and looks very nice on the lips. Personally for me, I don’t like the minty scent that it has, but overall the product is quite nice.
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper in Original Clear
This is my least favorite product in the set. I did not see any big difference in the appearance of my lips after using this. In fact there was a very uncomfortable tingly sensation on my lips, and I decided to wipe off the product.
Final thoughts
Overall, this set is well worth the price. This product kept selling out on the Sephora website and looks like is a big favorite. I enjoyed most of the products, and think that these favorites sets are typically a great value, and allow one to try many different products without having to buy each full size separately. I am very much looking forward to more sets.
