I bought two of these kits when they were first released on QVC. I wish I had bought three - the fill levels were pathetic, and the kits sold out fast. Once more that summer a small amount were available again. Then the next year - exactly a year, during the 2009 BE Friends and Family summer sale - this kit was briefly available for order from the BE webstore. There was such strong demand, though, and such a small supply, that quite a few people who had successfully placed an order received emails a week later: “Sorry, you won’t be getting this kit.” Bare Escentuals had miscalculated the appeal of these bright, cheerful, hard-to-duplicate colors…or they tried to “create scarcity” and succeeded a little too well. Ocean was available for a while as a single color from the BE webstore; but neither of the other two colors was listed. I was able to pick up an additional Sundress off of Ebay, but can’t find Key West at all - not even for outrageous prices.
