All nice quality and small enough pots and tubes to actually get used up, plus you've been able to test all the products to see if they're worth buying in the future. I saw the Liberty one on the telly last night, which was nice but I thought you'd have to be quite well off to buy it in the first place and also if you decided you wanted to carry on with a particular product.
