Well, here goes my review:
I love the lipstick with the gloss. The lipstick by itself is very matt, but with the gloss on top it is a perfect beautiful color for me. Wore pretty good.
The brush is very nice and does a good job applying the makeup. I tried my fingers today and noticed the makup settled more into my pores, which I have issues with anyway. I did use a moisturizer and primer. The color medium is not good for me at all.
I am pink toned and I compared it to others I have been using and next to them it looks a lot more yellow. It didn't have the coverage I need and the concealor did not help much. It does feel like nothing on your face.
The cream blush is a pretty pink color for me, but between the foundation and the blush on top, they did finish a bit dry on my dry skin.
The first time I used the mascara I guess I didn't realize the "brush" is actually one of those plastic things with spikes on it - that's a deal breaker for me, although this one was the best of ones I have tried. I may try using a different brush with it.
I guess that's it! Now that I read it over, I hope I don't sound too critical or negative. I had such high hopes for this kit - maybe too high! I convinced myself it would be perfect for me. This is just my review and how it worked for me, it is definitly nice makeup and I am really glad most of you are loving it.
I will use the lipstick and gloss, the blush, mascara and the brush (i'm a brush addict anyway!), so I will keep the kit.
I can't give the foundation to my daughter because she's the same coloring as I am, so don't know what I will do with that. Had been thinking mabe I should try the light color, but then watched a video where Doris said there was more yellow/warmth in the light (than the fair) so I'm guessing it wouldn't work for me either. I can't believe she uses the light and looks so cool toned on TV?? But then she is such a beautiful woman anyway.
hi herroyallioness-I'm sorry the color was bad! i know you were going between light and medium and i described it as light medium. It doesnt pull any yellow on me at all! im really bummed it didnt work for you. Iwas just the opposite-i had very low expectations-as i dont care for her lip products and was really impressed by everything. I know how it feels tho-to b bummed when youre so looking forward to something! Sorry if i steered you wrong 
I love the mascara, didn't think I would when I saw the brush and how wet it looked but works great, very natural looking not that fake spiky spidery look which I don't like.
The light is perfect for me. I usually am light but sometimes a light/medium but this is perfect. no pink and no yellow undertone for me like so many have.
As I posted, the only drawback(if you want to call if a drawback) is it dries very fast so you have to work quicker than I am use to but once use to it the finish is perfect for my dry mature skin.
I have her lipstick/gloss duo sold here on the Q but they are more creamy than the one in this kit. The one in this kit isn't as creamy but is okay. The blush is the most natural for me, very soft natural looking pink.
I can't wear the IT CC foundation, way too sticky/tacky on me but I did like the IT cushion compact foundation a lot but just thought it too expensive for the little amount of foundation you got so I didn't reorder.
For me anyway, this is the most natural looking kit I have tried, so far anyway, and like everything in the kit but will say the concealer doesn't conceal what I wanted it for but does a great job in under eye darkness when I don't get enough sleep so, glad I got the kit BUT as you all say, we are all so different and what works for one doesn't always work for someone else so, glad there are so many choices out there.
