First of all, I’m sorry I missed an upload. My husband had the day off and I decided to spend it with him, but I’m back! Today’s post is about two exciting new additions to my collection. Ofra is a brand I have only dipped my toe into so I am very excited to have two new items from them. They did a collaboration with the YouTube influencer Samantha March. They released a whole collection that included a bronzer, highlighter, blush, liquid lipstick and gloss. I was fortunate enough to pick up the blush and highlighter.
The blush, which is called Chick-lit, is a unique new shade to the Ofra collection. This is a split pan blush, one side a matte powder described as a nude pink, and the other a shimmer powder described as a deep rose. When combined together, the blush gives a lovely satin rose shade to the cheeks. I’ve only worn this shade one time so far, but it was on the recent holiday so it was put to the test. The blush stayed on all day and night and looked just pigmented when I went to take it off, which is especially impressive considering I was wearing my mask. Just based on this I would recommend this formula. If my thoughts change I will give an update later on to reflect this.
The other product I picked up was the highlighter in the shade Start Inspired. This highlighter is also a split pan, but it is divided into four. The two shades are the previously released shades Star Island, a soft gold, and Pillow Talk, a soft pearl pink. I am not familiar with Ofra’s highlighter formula and know that they are no joke. They pack a punch, with a mighty reflect to back them up. This formula is also long lasting and something I would highly recommend. I do feel they may be a little icy on deeper skin tones though, so be careful if you have a deeper skin tone.
To be honest, I mainly picked up these two items to support Samantha March, as I am a huge fan. I can say though, after an initial wear test, they add to my collection in ways I did not expect. The blush especially, is so unique in color that if you like nude or punk-toned blushes, I think you need this one. I will say, it does kick up a lot of powder in the pan but even so, it never looked like too much. And the highlighter, while not original shades, are not ones I had in my collection to begin with so I am glad to have them now.
