Here's what two Her magazine readers' panelists thought of the e.l.f. "Kim-Pact:"
"I enjoyed using the e.l.f. makeup kit customized by Kim Myles. It came in a yellow mesh drawstring bag that has become a cute makeup case for my purse.
"I don't wear a whole lot of makeup, so this set was the ideal gift. The colors are the perfect complement for having on makeup without looking 'made up.' The Mocha eye shadow and Coy blush gave me a fresh springtime look; I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The Sugar Plum and Cinnamon lipstick were a tad too light for me, but I discovered that mixing the two shades and applying a gloss created a wonderful shade that just popped. I received compliments all day on my makeup.
"I have often encountered problems with makeup brushes losing the bristles, but these brushes are sturdy and are great for applying the product. And the customizable compact is perfect. I want to get more e.l.f. makeup so that I can make many customized kits. This way I will have the perfect colors together in one place.
"I would definitely recommend the "Kim-Pact" to everyone. It caused me to check out the e.l.f. site (www.eyeslipsface.com) and purchase a few other items. I discovered that the prices were affordable (less than a $1 for many products), and I can't wait to try the various new shades that I have ordered. This kit was just the right start to my new summertime look."

"I really like this make-up kit product by Kim Myles. I wore the makeup to a wedding and, let me tell you, the compliments poured in. I like the way the Mocha eye color made my eyes look natural the way I like them, but with a hint of shimmer to it. The Cinnamon lip color made my lips look fuller and blended in perfect with the Coy blush. The Sugar Plum lip color was a little bright to my liking, so I shared with a friend with a lighter tone complexion than I have, and she loved it. The e.l.f. makeup brushes allowed me to apply the makeup in minutes. These brushes compared to my more expensive makeup brushes that I use, for fraction of the price. I'm glad I tried this makeup kit. This will be a product line I will add to my collection of makeup."
