Ready made makeup kit, is this good value!?!?

[blueshadow]

Hi everyone,
I've been browsing for some stuff to put in a freelance kit for myself for when i start my makeup course, and i found this,

makeup4you.com.au

its a ready made makeup kit, i figured Ben Nye is a good brand right? and this is what is mostly in it.
I needed brushes and lashes and stuff for my course anyway so why not spend almost $700(AUD) and get everythinng i'll need to practice and i can bulid from there!

I guess what i'm asking is.. is this good value, as far as i can tell the products are great.(though maybe i'd rather RCMA foundations instead)
Dont forget i'm in Australia and makeup is reallyt expensive here, so any help i could get would be beaut!
cheers!

I think that that is a little too expensive for such few things...but that is my opinion of course...check out this site b/c they're retailing 2 makeup kits (a deluxe for $549 and a standard for $399). they have some really good makeup 2...and they ship internationally!

Thanks heaps. but even the cheapest kit there is gonna end up costing amost $700 AUD..hmm

i know it seems like alot of money but considering in australia you cant get a Ben Nye foundation for under $15 i thought it was pretty good....
Damn you Australia! your fantastic for everything else but WHY does makeup have to be sooo expensive.
what sorta foundations have you been looking at? I'm thinking if i dont get this kit, i'll get a RCMA sample palette to start off with.
