First and Foremost. Like most women, I love make up. Playing with it, experimenting, you name it. So, I was quite excited to see how these would turn out.
The back of these tins, as all the ingredients, and general information. Let me just say, these tin's are very sturdy and beautifully designed. They are just perfect for a tween.
As you can see, there is blue, pink and purple themes. On the inside cover I really love how they have a make up look with little directions, on which product to use where. Perfect tutorial for a young girl/tween even teenager.
As mentioned the actual make up, and nail polish in each of these tins is the exact same thing. So, you can purchase one for your daughters favorite band member. Here's what the list includes.

Simmer top coat, and black eye liner
I did use some NYC smooth skin perfecting primer on my hand before swatching. Though, I don't think that made much of a difference in pigmentation. These eye shadows are so pigmented, I was quite shocked to be honest. The lip gloss also carried beautiful pigmentation,and vibrant colors. The eye shadows applied very smooth, and feel like silk. They also blend very well, for those worried about that. The only thing that was hard to capture, was the light color of the shimmer gloss top coat, and the lip gloss heart attack, my camera didn't want to pick it up. the gloss is a white/sliver sparkle clear gloss. These are great on anyone with sensitive skin, a lot of lip gloss/sticks actually cause my lips to become quite chapped. These did not. These also stay on quite a while. Without wearing off or smearing. The black eyeliner goes on smooth, and the color shows. I hate when I put eyeliner on my waterline, and it wears off. This does not.
I wanted to include more pictures where you can see the pigmentation.
I am quite pleased with how well these are made. You can create a number of looks using these. The only thing I might add was. The items that need to be removed from the plastic holder, were a PAIN to remove. Mine really did not want to come out, and I had to use a flat object to pry em out. Also, the lip brush the fibers on it, were easily coming off after one swipe into the lip gloss. So, I wouldn't recommend using that, instead maybe using your own. (ELF makes great tools for just a couple dollars) They're also really little, which for me wasn't the best. I did use them for purposes of swatching, to prove they indeed serve their purpose. The nail polish on these are very vibrant, and wit 2-3 coats, will become opaque. Addtionally I took the plastic packaging out, to see how deep the tins were, they are deep enough that once the makeup is gone, girls can store many different things in here! They also didn't ignore that part of the tin! There is a sticky note that says, I love you! How sweet!
Over all these tins, would be perfect for a tween. If they love makeup, and you let them wear it. I think they're perfect for them, the colors, pigmentation, and one direction!
If your daughter loves them, I do believe they will love this too.
I would give this 4 star, or A- review.
Simply because, irresistible is spelled wrong in each tin, I do think some of the colors are maybe too dark for a tween. (which is the age demographic I believe this to be designed for.) The last reason being that the tools were not only hard to remove, but small, and the brush fibers came off.
