Honestly, Smashbox products when purchased individually are a bit overpriced. Their Photofinish Primer, while effective, is far too steep for my budget, and I'm not the kind of gal who will pay $30 for a tube of tinted moisturizer. However, Smashbox really knows how to build value into a set. After purchasing the Master's Class Volume 2 (pictured), I was hooked. In addition to the sets pictured, Sephora also has a Beauty Insider's exclusive set, as does Beauty.com.

I'm a sucker for multiple items in cute packaging, and I appreciate Smashbox's sponsorship of LA Fashion Week. Does your favorite beauty brand offer free gifts or special edition sets, and if so, does that affect your perception of them?
