My opinion on sampler kits (in general)
Before I delve into whether or not I’d recommend this Beauty Cache, I feel like I should explain that my general sentiment on these types of sampler kits is (in a nutshell): If I’m paying money for it, I’d better be getting equal or more value for my money in decently usable amounts of product. In other words, I wouldn’t pay money for a bunch of teeny sampler packets that I can get for free in department/cosmetics stores. Why should I pay money for companies to market / promote to me with samples they would happily give out for free anyway?
So you might be asking: What is considered “equal or more value”? Well, I’d expect a good number of deluxe samples (decently sized for more than just 1-3x uses per packet), or even a couple full-sized products that total in value for at least what I paid for the sampler kit. Honestly, those tiny 1-3x use sampler packets really don’t count towards “total value” at all (in my personal opinion). Unless maybe you get 100 packets of the same product 
Would I recommend?
Overall, I think the Beauty Cache contains great value for your money. There is one full-sized product, and several deluxe-sized samples that could easily last a week to several months (depending on your usage).
HOWEVER, I personally am not the type of person who loves to try many different products often, or gets excited about new brands I haven’t heard of before. I tend to save my samples for travel purposes 
So I would recommend this sampler kit for people who enjoy these brands already, or often enjoy trying out lots of new products without paying full price — the Beauty Cache offers great value if you’re into this. But if you’re a “tried, tested, and true” type of girl like me, then a product like this in general will probably not appeal much to you.
