I had used up the last of my foundation, so I headed to my local JCPenney Sephora boutique. (I'm a VIB member at Sephora.) Since I needed new brushes too, I headed for a Get Started Kit and was blown away by the improvements! This is seriously the best makeup set ever. Best they've ever put together, in my opinion, and it's only at Sephora.

First off, I know it sounds crazy to get a starter kit when you're a longtime user, but the truth is you should replace your brushes every so often. Secondly, you need to check the expiration dates on your makeup! I go through periodic purges. With this kit, I was able to get everything I needed totally refreshed.
Included in my amazing Medium Beige kit (only $68!):
- Original SPF 15 Foundation
- Matte SPF 15 Foundation --- my fav!
- SPF 20 Concealer
- Warmth All-Over Face Color
- Mini bareMinerals READY® SPF 15 Touch Up Veil in Translucent --- for your purse
- Mini Prime Time™ Original Foundation Primer
- Full Flawless Face Brush --- best brush ever!
- Angled Face Brush
- Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
- Deluxe travel bag with inside pouches
My once-chaotic bags of makeup mess are now neatly consolidated. The bag is so user-friendly I leave it on my vanity and use it every day. I also think the new brushes do a much better coverage job. Perfect!
And can I talk about the case? I've needed a new case for a while, but never found one that was the right fit. OMG. My entire routine fits within this kit. The brushes have their own special place! It's perfect for my travels, too.
Do you have any makeup must-haves?
