You know how you go to the cosmetics counter, and the makeup artist flicks her hand around your eyes, making them look completely amazing? And then you buy all of the products she recommends, only to find out that you can't remember how to replicate the look at home? Yep, that stinks.

That's why I love this brilliant kit. Master's Class Expert Eyes Set contains $174 worth of products for $59. The seven-piece set includes everything you'll need to create a smoky eye and a "pretty eye" (read: polished and daytime-ready) at home: two eye shadow trios, a cream liner duo, That's a Wrap mascara in black, two shadow brushes and an eyeliner brush.

That's a good deal as it is, but the really smart part of the kit is the instructional DVD led by Smashbox makeup artist Patrick Tumey. He shows you how to create both looks, so you can refer back to his tips and tricks whenever you need to. The kit is available now at Sephora, but if you just can't wait, check out my smoky eye how-to now.
