Calculate value from the products you will use, not the number on the box.
Price the useful items
List every item and size. Estimate each item's equivalent value from a current standalone price for the same formula: standalone price multiplied by set size divided by standalone size. This is a comparison estimate, not a claim that minis sell at that price.
Discount the unwanted extras
Give unwanted shades, duplicates and products you would not buy a value of zero for your personal decision. A set advertised as worth $100 may only contain $25 of products you want. Compare the set price with buying those useful items separately.
Try a worked example
Suppose a set costs $30. The moisturizer you want contains 15 ml, while 50 ml normally costs $40: its proportional value is $12. A lip product you want is worth $10, and you would not use the other items. Your useful value is $22; buying the $30 set is not automatically a bargain. These are illustrative numbers, not live offers.
Make gifts thoughtful
For someone else, ask about favorites, sensitivities and fragrance preferences. Shade-dependent makeup needs more information. A requested item or gift card can be more welcome than a surprise routine. Check gift receipts and whether opened beauty products can be returned.
