@doglover3,  thank you for your indepth review. I ordered this kit and then canceled  it because I was so concerned about the foundation. My skin is dry and I am 66 years old and was just afraid that it would look drab on me. My intention was to use it wet also. When it comes out on its own, I may purchase it.

How the heck did YOU get to cancel??

I tried just a few hours after ordering, and they wouldn't LET me cancel!

I did the same thing, ordered, then canceled. I have so many foundations, and couldn't decide if the kit was worth it. I am like you, will probably try when it debuts on its on.

I also thank you all for your reviews.  I ordered the light and then changed to medium.  Will receive my product today.  Oh...one note....I remember Laura saying  NOT to unscrew the top off the lip products.  She stated to pull it off!  Hope that helps....

I got mine yesterday and so far I am really liking this kit, I got the Fair foundation, swatching it next to the baked elements in fair and the B&B in fair, this one seemed identical to the BE but lighter and less yellow than the B&B.  I used a brush for the foundation and just used the sponge on the few areas that needed extra coverage. It feels and looks very natural and so far I'm happy with how it is wearing.

I 'm surprised how much I like the highlighter, almost didn't order this kit because I have so many highlighters and don't use them much because I find many to be too shimmery.  I really like this one, just adds a very pretty glow.

Love the feel and color of the lip color, not long lasting, but I expected that as it is oil based.  As others have mentioned- don't twist the cap , because you'll remove the silver tip along with the cap- just pull off the top cap and the silver tip will be there.

Mine came in today and I just opened it to see if there was a problem with the lip product that others stated.  It was just fine.  It has 2 silver parts at the top and you only want to remove the top one (it just pulls off) and do NOT remove both by unscrewing the botttom silver part.  If you do that there should be no problem.

I put the lip oil on top of the lipstick I already had on.  Feels very moisturizing (not greasy) and looks like a nice lip gloss.  I will probably just use it over lipstick to help with moisturizing my lips, especially in cold weather.

I got her mascara primer in a small size recently as a gift with purchase and like it.

I'm anxious to try the new highlighter and foundation. I ordered this in porcelain and hope the color will work for me.  The porcelain in her Baked Elements foundation is perfect, but in her B&B it's a little too light and pink yet the fair is a little too dark and yellow.

Just found out that the hubs is taking me out for dinner tonight. I'm going to crack open the TSV as soon as I get home and doll myself up!

I love this kit!   Havne't ordered makeup from QVC for ages but this one piqued my interest and I'm so happy I go it.  The foundation is great (got it in light-medium) but I really adore the lip product.  Those one-for-all shades rarely work for me but this one looks beautful.

I just got home. Swatched the new foundation on my arm next to the BE. Both are porcelain. The BE reads a little more yellow and the new one a little peachier. Don't know yet if it will work for me. Still seems a tad too dark to be called porcelain.

My review: porcelain ended up being a pretty good match but a tad too dark. But I could definitely get away with it. Only I would notice. The foundation is much more powdery than Laura's BE. I didn't get as even coverage that I do with BE. I have a lot of fuzz. I'm between epilations. This new foundation clings to my fuzz much more than BE and therefore it's more visible. I used the highlighter in place of blush and eyeshadow. I like it quite a bit. It's not too dark on my fair skin. I think it looks great on the top of my chubby cheekbones. I also really like the eyelash primer. I'd definitely use it in place of mascara. Now, the lip oil. Disaster! This was the first item I picked up. I pulled the cap off as suggested. I squeezed and squeezed and nothing came out. I unscrewed the tip and it came pouring out. I cleaned it up. Put the tip and cap back on. After doing my makeup I removed the cap and again the product came pouring out. There's hardly any left in the tube. What a waste. So I really like the highlighter and eyelash primer and could see myself using them. But, the kit is going back. I can't justify keeping the whole kit for those two products alone. Good thing I have 8, yes 8, of Laura's BE compacts in my stash! Hope my review helps.

PS....I applied Bareminerals BB primer prior to the foundation. This is the same technique I use for Laura's BE. That ususally gives me a smooth poreless look. Not so much with the new powder.
