It includes two Velvet Lip Glides and two Powermatte Lip Pigments; two shades are part of the permanent range (noted below). The set contains $52 worth of lip gloss and $52 worth of liquid lipstick for a total value of $104, so it’s a great deal if you like the formula and shades included.

OFRA Blind the Haters Highlighter ($29.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark copper with warm, brown undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, soft, and lightly creamy texture that was blendable and easy to apply. It was dense and not at all powdery, but I didn’t have any trouble picking up product with a tapered highlighting brush. The powder sat well on my skin without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture, though I wouldn’t say I have a lot of texture. It had a high-shine finish that reflected light beautifully. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.
$29.00/0.35 oz. - $82.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "liquid to baked technology" that has "unparalleled pigment payoff" that can be used as a highlighter as well as an eyeshadow or as a blush topper." It's a very pigmented formula with a high-shine, metallic finish that will be most suitable for someone who wants an intense highlighter. The texture was denser but not dry or difficult to work with, so it seemed to melt onto the skin the more I buffed and blended the highlighter on. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading noticeably.

Permanent
I like limited edition more when it means limited time availability; the best example of this is MAC’s Viva Glam collaborations–they keep making the shade throughout the six-month or year-long campaign, so everyone has plenty of time to try it and purchase (if desired) without it being a mad dash. If it sells out in two hours, nah, that’s the kind of thing that exhausts me.

Charlotte Tilbury Glowing, Pretty Skin Palette ($75.00 for 0.54 oz.) includes five cheek colors and one setting powder (Medium). While I can understand the inclusion of a finishing powder… I don’t understand it so much in a release where there’s just one palette to choose from, since the finishing powder is flesh-toned and not translucent. In larger cheek palettes, there are often shades that may or may not work for a single skin tone, but everything about this palette seemed geared toward fair to light skin tones. I did not find that the powders felt as smooth or as finely-milled as the brand’s standalone blushes , bronzers/contours, and highlighters.
