The first of BE’s “most wanted” kits, bringing back four colors that had been pulled from rotation in boutiques and channel partners. Since this kit predated my BE collection-mania, I had to acquire the colors elsewhere, in dribs and drabs.

Beautiful Lisa was the first, bought straight from the BE webstore in mid-2008 (even though it was marked “HTF” on dozens of Ebay stores.) Drift was next, purchased from an outlet store. Justice was third, purchased as part of a Dynamic Duo eyecolor set from Ulta. Phoebe was the most difficult to acquire, because while it was briefly released to boutiques in 2008 (along with other favorites such as Dakota) it sold out FAST. Initially, all I had was a sample, given to me by one of the boutique SAs after I’d driven an hour to buy the color, only to find out that the salesperson had been mistaken when she said that they had Phoebe in stock. I finally bought Phoebe from Ebay sellers, in 2010 (selling the minis from the Wealth of Beauty kit, or whichever holiday 2009 kit contained Phoebe.)

This kit contained:

• Beautiful Lisa — deep magenta sparkle
• Drift — soft faded-brown matte
• Justice — warm taupe matte
• Phoebe — deep softened violet sheen
