I have decided that I do not have enough time to share all the greatest things I want to share with you guys immediately because I have to take some time to actually try the product to find out how I truly like them. So from now on, if I have purchased or given an awesome product, they will be featured on Shop and Tell.A full review will be up only once I am done testing the product. If a product mentioned never made it for a full review, you can assume that they weren't worth the time to be talked about.

Move on to Set for Summer from Sephora!!
You can say that this is my very first set bought from Sephora. Not too sure if this set is available in Singapore or Malaysia (let me know if they do have it). This set was bought in Sephora US. I am really excited when I saw this set online because it has almost all the products I wanted to try.
This set contains 9 products (TWO FULL SIZE ITEMS) and a Sephora Makeup bag.
The value of this set is $135 but you only need to pay $39. Look like you save a whole lot huh? Remember what you are getting is not all full size. Most of them are deluxe sample(such a bummer!).However, 6 out of 9 products they have included are the ones I wanted to try! Personally, they worth the value, at least I get to try them before committing to a full size items.
"A 10-piece collection of must-haves for a golden and glowing summer."
What you will get for this set:
(The one with check ✔ mark will be the one I wanted to try)

Lets move on to the First Impression review(This is the first time I am going to swatch them as well.)! I am excited!
0.07 oz full-size Sephora Collection Mono Eyeshadow in Choco Excess, 19.( Full Size)
As described, this is a dark chocolate with a silver glitter. This swatch okay. I swatch them with fingers and the glitters that do get transferred is a little less compared to what you see in the pan.
0.13 oz Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights in Dusk.
I think this is a great size for travelling and trying out. I might end up using this for a pretty long time. When all the colours mixed and swatched together they turn out to be more on the pearl peachy side rather than brown. Beautiful! Comes in matte packaging.
0.08 oz Too Faced Mini Peach Leopard Brightening &Perfecting Bronzer.
I am happy with the packaging. They are so cute! Swatched to be pinkish brown. From the swatch it might not look good for my skin tone. I'll give it a try to see whether it turn out like what I have expected or better.
0.125 oz Sephora by OPI nail colour in I'm Wired.
Opaque electric coral red. Look gorgeous! I think I will review this first. I need to change my nail colour anyway.
0.08 oz Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment.
Sheer berry rose in pink case. This smell A WHOLE LOT ALIKE Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and EOS Lemon Drop lip balm(except this is tasteless)! Higher chances for this in getting into my favourite lip balm. On first application I am already hooked.. hahaha..
0.18 oz Guerlain L'Or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold Make-Up Base.
This is one of the most interesting product in this set! Pure Gold! The scent is really strong. Gold was absorbed really fast. Initially I thought this was in gel form but it is actually very watery. Doubt the product will last more than 20 use.
0.10 oz Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara in Black.
Highly raved by my favourite Youtube guru. Good thing that the mascara wand is in full size.Some makeup brands are a bit retarded when producing deluxe sample the wand and the brushes shrinks with the amount of product they gave resulting in more difficult application(It is not like our eyes can shrink.lol).
0.34 oz Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Make-Up Setting Spray.
I have tried this and LOVE it! Check the full review on this item here.
0.20 oz full size Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Pop. (Full Size)
Sheer. Not a fan of this, the color does not even show up on me . Smell great tho. Vanilla-ish. Not sticky. Brush applicator instead of doe foot applicator.
Sephora signature makeup bag
Waterproof. Will not keep the makeup inside dry if submerge or in contact with water because of the gab near the zip.Spacious.
Conclusion
If you have most of the products in full size or maybe even in deluxe size the price for this set may not be justifiable. First of all the Sephora eyeshadow is inexpensive and the Smashbox lip gloss is not a hit for me. On the other hand, if you do not own any of this or maybe own an item or two, trying out the rest is great. Overall, I love this set (obviously! that is why I get them!)
Do let me know if you are picking this up! Have a great week ahead!
