BareMinerals’ Maribou kit

Either this is a mis-recording on the BEAddicts spreadsheet, and the Maribou kit had slightly different components, or this kit is a near-duplicate of the Hummingbird kit. The color pieces are all the same; the differences are in the mascara (Glamour Lash for this one, Big Tease for Hummingbird) and the brushes (the Hummingbird kit featured three Heavenly-style, with dual-colored and slightly denser brushes.)

BE has released kits that contained either the exact same, or nearly the same, pieces as previous kits. It doesn’t happen regularly, maybe about a dozen times in the history of BE; but it has happened. If that’s the case here, Maribou could have been one of their earliest kits (released in 2001-2003) and when it came time to construct and release the Bird AD kits, they might have decided that this combination worked, and it was long enough between the previous kits’ release that they could get away with a re-do.
