Ok I love this, and have to search for a dupe as it's limited edition. I HAVE to say though this is NOT a bronzer. I know it's claimed to be but the shade is too pink to work as anything other than blush (or eyeshadow). The formula is very blendable and easy to work with, a little goes a long way. I'd say I only need 2 dips with my brush.
This is too dark for me to use as a highlighter but it's cute as an eyeshadow or layered over a matte blush for some luminosity. It's not super intense but it does give you a glow.

Ofra highlighters are always blinding and so is this one. Good champagne shade for light skin, a little goes a long way. You get a lot of product for your money.

I like the formula on this although I wish it was more moisturizing. The colour is noticeable but definitely sheer, as it is a lip balm. All in all I wouldn't purchase this at full price as I think there are much better lip balms out there, but if you're a Nars stan you'd like this.

You get a lot of product for the price, but for me maybe it's too much product. I don't think I'll ever hit pan on this because it's just not good enough for me to use as my main blusher. The shade is fine, but the formula is nothing special.

This is a comfortable matte formula, although not forgettable as it is a little drying. I also find it to be a little tacky. It transfers a LOT, although true to the name it definitely lasts a long time. Will stain your lips. Smells good!

This looks unwearable in the pan, but is actually a very cute pink on the face. I'm a little too pale for this to be optimally flattering on me but I make it work nonetheless. Blendable and easy to work with, you get enough pigmentation with 2 dips. My only gripe is it doesn't last very well.

Good basic lipstick, although it says it's "super shiny" on me it's definitely more of a satin finish, which I prefer anyways. The shade itself is a good neutral red that I could see working for multiple skin tones. Wear time is decent with no bleeding or feathering but it's obviously not transfer proof. Need to reapply after eating or drinking as normal. Stains my lips mildly.

It's ok, I'm not impressed by it. It flakes pretty easily, and although it definitely does help with curling and defining my lashes I'd say in this case you get what you pay for. It is definitely clump free though.
