These kits offer a ton of versatility. You can do so much with all the supplies and most of them are gorgeous. The discount is great but it's also an investment. The biggest downside is that you can't preview what you're getting. I found that some of the kits were ones I wouldn't want to use a lot and didn't feel the purchase was worthwhile for me personally. Eventually, I decided to just purchase the ones I truly love rather than going with the subscription.
