Salaam everyone, does anyone know where to get those big makeup kits, the ones with like a hundred listicks and nailpolishes of diff colours (ok, not a hundred but like a lot of diff colors)?! i need one really soon and can’t seem to find any, the ones i do find, have like 3 lipsticks. it’s like those ones that u give to brides as a present…
Re: makeup kits!
the ones wid a lot of different lipstick and nailpolishes shades, etc. arent of gud quality since they dont usually arent of famous brands..u should get the ones with a few different shades but of famous brands, like Clinique, Mac, Estee Lauder and chanel., and u can find em in malls
Re: makeup kits!
^ yeah but thsoe get super expensive.
u can get tons of no-name makeup kits from Rite aid/cvs/walgreens/eckerds...and there are sooooooo many more available in pakistan.. but i duno abt UK
Re: makeup kits!
Depends where u are... as in the UK, there's soo many of these types of make-up kits going around on special offer price due to the Christmas season, but they are even cheaper in the Xmas sales... best bet is BOOTS if your in d UK...
Re: makeup kits!
The ones from Debenhams are really good. I think they are "Colour Institute" ones? I got them for my wedding and still use the eyeshadows - 6 years later!!!
Also, i agree with Boots ones being good as well. And yes cheaper in the Post-Xmas sales!!!
I also picked up a good eyeshadow pallate with approx 36 colours from Superdrug one year in the Sales and it was like £5.00 but still use that too!!!!
Good luck!
Re: makeup kits!
They usually come out around this time, for the Christmas holidays and such. Estee Lauder does some really nice ones. If you can't find them at regular department stores, like Macys, try outlet malls, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, or cosmetics stores like Ulta.
Re: makeup kits!
How are the makeup kits that they sell at Macy's (the off-brand ones)? I am helping to assemble a barri and was wondering if a couple of those would be alright to include.
Re: makeup kits!
^ depends, if the person ur assembling it for appreciates quality over quantity...not so good if they're more abt quantity... as far as i know, dept store makeup kits (like mac, estee lauder, lancome, clinique etc) are nice, but there's not alot in there so if someone is more abt hte quantity, they're better off getting cheaper kits
Re: makeup kits!
i don’t know if you’re in toronto, but sears has this fantastic HUGE estee lauder set available and it comes in this beautiful gold travel kit for $60 if you buy any fragrance from them. it was in their newest flyer and it has full-size products, not the sample size ones.
theres also this Elizabeth Arden one for $62- http://www.sears.ca/gp/product/B000V02WS2/ref=sc_iw_c_0_1_15860881?ie=UTF8&n=15860881&searsBrand=core&mqnodeid=15860881
Re: makeup kits!
^That sounds great.
I'd be careful about the no-name brands. They can be very damaging for your skin and eyes if they are not developed properly.
Re: makeup kits!
^
Also, cheaper brands of cosmetic kits don't have lasting power - i.e. if you put the eyeshadow on it doesnt stay on/glides off because of quality.
Re: makeup kits!
yup, i think if you're putting something on your face i.e. your skin/around your eyes/your mouth, its just a better idea overall of investing in good products that might be worth a bit more but then will last longer and won't be harmful to you. consider the makeup kit an investment.
Re: makeup kits!

I was just about to say if you are going to get any kit it should be the Sephora Blockbuster kit, good quality. Even that has way too much makeup tho.
Re: makeup kits!
oh my gosh its just divine 
but then again i dint really like their lipsticks too much, really low quality i ended up giving 1 away…
Maybe next year :pagli:

Re: makeup kits!
how come estee lauder and lancome's kits aren't on there?>
Re: makeup kits!
maybe cos they're only special editions? like, "with purchase" offers as opposed to stand-alone products that they sell?
Re: makeup kits!
Thanks everyone...my mom got an estee lauder one from sears, but like i wish there were more colours and just more stuff in general..and yeah all the ones with a lot of stuff are such low quality it's crazy....
