I couldn't find a freebie kit. Is there a link?

Meanwhile, I have the mineral set from Costco (29.95) - seems okay, nice brushes. Jar lids don't unscrew smoothly, I have minerals all over the bathroom, and I'm used to loose powder and brushes. Thinking of some WD-40. The finishing powder has one cap to take off to use the "puff" and a different one to get to the powder with a brush. It's very messy. None of them work well for shaking into the lid and swirling with the brush as I've seen in BE infomercials.

Also have (finally) received the Smashbox "Try Me" kit (another 29.95), which is very interesting. The ingredient list for Smashbox products reads like Twinkies - nothing natural here - but that's okay as long as I don't break out. I'm allergic to mercury, and that is a natural product, so .... The brow color and brush are worth the cost of the kit. Costco also has a Smashbox kit, but I don't think it had the brow wax and Photo Finish in it.
