The original deal was $29.50 for both the blush and lip gloss, but ebates notified me of a coupon code that took another $10 off! Plus there was free shipping. It was a trifecta, I'm telling you!
Sugarbomb consists of four colors that you swirl together for the finished look, which is a light golden peach on me. I was a bit fearful it would be too shimmery after reading some online reviews, but I'm actually liking the nice highlight it provides. Sugarbomb does kick up a fair amount of dust and I'm finding I need to lightly swirl my blush brush to risk not overdoing it. Sugarbomb did not play nicely as a topper for my Josie Maran argan stick blush, however, as it got a bit cakey. I'm disappointed about that, but perhaps it will work better with a non-sticky cheek stain. On it's own, it provides a subtle highlighting flush.
The Sugarbomb Ultra Plush gloss does indeed look like a blend of the colors in the blush. It has a nice microshimmer but is not highly pigmented, barely changing the color of my lips. It feels very nice on, has a light peach scent, is not sticky, and lasts for about 1.5 hours being needing to be reapplied. I like it, but not for $16, which is what these sell for. I'm glad I got to try it as part of a set and at such a great price (essentially for free), but I doubt I'd spring for it on it's own.

Sephora was also offering a mini Dandelion blush and gloss set as a freebie with $25 purchase to VIB insiders, which if you were able to get one, is a great way to try the formula before investing in the full sized version. I will be posting a review for Dandelion soon.
Disclosure: I bought these.
I love dandelion, the color is one of my favorites! Can't wait to see what you think of it!

I'm wearing Dandelion today, but I can't for the life of me get it to show up!
