 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I'm going to be reviewing the new Ofra and Samantha March collaboration. I had to pick this up. Look how gorgeous this box is. Oh my goodness. So if you want to hear my thoughts on this collection, see swatches, see how they look and application and all of that good stuff, then just keep watching. So I know I'm looking very dead right now, but we are going to put some color back into the face. I got a very exciting package in the mail today from Ofra and this is the Samantha March and Ofra collaboration. I ordered this on the pre-sale day and it came in literally two days. So Ofra did an awesome job. Also something really cute is that they put a little hand sanitizer in there. So cute and you guys know how hard a sanitizer is to come by. So really excited that they did that. Side note, my hands are so dry from washing my hands and from hand sanitizer. Make sure you're keeping your hands moisturized. Hand lotion is a thing. First of all, the PR box is absolutely stunning. I love the neutral, blushy tones, how soft and feminine it is. And then on the inside you open it. I just love this presentation. So excited to use this. So some details on the package. So I purchased the PR collection for $129. Make sure if you are purchasing anything from Ofra, you use the code Samantha that will give you 20% off. So with her discount code that took off $25. Like I said, this is the Samantha March in Oprah. I just said Oprah. Collaboration. I'm so excited for her. I definitely knew I wanted to support a fellow YouTuber. She is such a sweet person and it's a big deal to collaborate with the brand as big as Ofra. So I think that really speaks a lot about Ofra because I said this in my shop or drop, but you know, she doesn't have a million subscribers. She has a lot, but she's not one of the big people that typically get collaboration. I just think that says a lot about Ofra as a brand and the fact that they're going to smaller creators for collaborations and you know, small creators, you know, we have the best audience. So I think it's really awesome that they're seeing that. And Samantha is so sweet. I love watching her videos. She's a very talented writer and just a genuine down to earth person. If you aren't subscribed to her, make sure you do so. So when I saw she was coming out with this collection, I knew I had to get it and I had a timer on for the presale for this. So this collection actually launches today. If you are interested in purchasing it, I'll put the link down below to it. But now you can purchase the items individually. If there's something that catches your eyes or you can purchase the whole collection, whatever you want. I'm going to go through the products with you and you can see if there's anything that you want. So in this collection, you're getting a split pan bronzer, a split pan blush and one of their highlighters, a liquid lipstick and a lip gloss. I actually have never really tried anything from Ofra. I have a liquid lipstick from a boxytron that I got a few months back. But other than that, I have no experience with Ofra and I've been wanting to. I've heard amazing things about their products. So I'm so excited that Samantha's collection is my introduction to the brand. Let's dive in to the bronzer so that I can get some definition on my face here. So first of all, the packaging of the face products are so sleek and they feel very, very nice and high quality. There's some weight to them. I feel like they're not going to break. But this bronzer is called the River Bronzer Duo. So you're getting a split pan of a light neutral mocha and the shimmer side is a warm copper bronze. So you're getting a matte and a shimmer side. So that should be really interesting. So nice big mirror, good packaging. Let's zoom in so you can kind of see the product working a little bit better. For a bronzer application, I'm using a refer number five brush and I'm going to start off by dipping into the matte side. I'm sure you could mix the colors as well. If you want a shimmery bronzer, I just popped is it at the top of my forehead. So if you see that, I'm sorry. Right away, what I'm noticing is that this bronzer is blending on really easily. It's not too harsh or scary on me personally. It's actually a very nice color. I think it's a little bit more warm rather than neutral as far as being able to contour. But the application of this is really pretty. And I actually really like this. I do look like I got a bit of a tan. You can build on it, which is really nice. I'm going to use the same brush and go lightly into the shimmery side. Okay, so that's definitely pigmented. If you're going to use a denser brush like I did, so you might want to use a less dense brush if you're more fair for that shimmer side because I did also notice this was swatching that the shimmer side is actually a touch deeper than the actual bronze side, which is a bit surprising. I thought it would be the opposite, but taking a closer look. I'm so sorry you get a front view of my zit, but taking a closer look, I actually really like the finish of that shimmer because it isn't obnoxiously shimmery. It just has a glow to it. So you don't see any particles of glitter or anything on your skin. It's not emphasizing anything on flattering. The shade itself gave me more of that tan bronze look. So on the other side of my face, I kind of just want to mix both of them. I think that this particular shade is going to work very well on medium skin tones as well. If you have more of a fair skin tone, you want to be a little bit light-handed, which is completely fine. I think, you know, when you're doing a collaboration, you want to be able to cater to as many skin tones as you can. So I think she did a good job. I don't think there's anything wrong with having to use a lighter hand if you're more fair, but it is a pretty color. I can see this being very flattering on a lot of different people, and it's also building very nice. This is what I would call a vacation bronzer because it makes you look like you went on vacation. It's not really a sculpting kind of color. It just adds a lot of warmth to your face, and it is a very pretty color. And as far as quality, it blended very smooth onto my skin. The shimmer side impressed me as well because it's not shimmery. It's glowy. I really like this bronzer. So now we're going to go into blush. You guys know how much I like blush. So this is the blush duo in Chick-Lit. It's the same packaging. The matte side is a pink nude, and the shimmer side is a deep warm rose. And I find the shimmer sides to be interesting between this and the bronzer because they do swatch a little bit more deep than you would think that they would look. So their shimmers do have a very pigmented base to them. I love pink blushes, so this blush really speaks to me. You guys know, I'm a huge blush girl. So I'm using a refer number four brush, and we're going to start off with the matte. Yes. See, I love a good pink blush. This actually has a little bit of like coral-iness to it, but definitely just a really pretty nude pink kind of color. It blended beautifully. Nice blush formula. I'm so happy she chose a pink blush because pink blushes are my favorite. Let's see how the shimmer one builds on top. Okay, so the shimmer side definitely is emphasizing a little bit of the texture on my cheek because my skin hates me right now. But that did add a little bit of deepness. Honestly, I think if you have a medium or deeper skin tone, you're going to love this blush. I think for me, again, I feel like I need to use a lighter hand for that shimmer shade. Ooh, that is so pretty. I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. So I'm going to start off with the matte shade. And I think the matte shade is my favorite. I do love a good glowy blush, but this color is just so cute. I love it. And then we're going to add a touch, just a touch of that shimmer. And the shimmer picks up very well on the brush. You might actually want to tap it off. And you know, I have this really beautiful friend right here that is out to play. Okay, so I know I went a little bit heavy, but I got to do is take your sponge and press that in, work it into the skin. It's fine. I actually forgot. I do want to use a little bit of the colors on my eyes today. So I'm going to take the bronzer shade and just run that into my crease. This is a blinked brushes number E12. So I'm taking the matte bronzer, just running this in my crease to add some definition to the eyes. So my eyes show up a little bit more, very light and pretty. I think I'm going to take some of the shimmery blush duo. And I'm going to put this on the lid. So this way you can kind of see how that shade does have a little bit more depth to it than the matte blush. This is just a really nice, simple kind of rosy eye. All right, so now we're going to move on to the highlighter. So this highlighter is the Start inspired highlighter. And you have a swirl of pillow talk and then a swirl of Star Island here. So I'm actually just going to mix both and see what it's like. I get to finally see the great Ofrah highlighter formula. And this is a blinked brushes number F17. Use a light hand. Okay, so whenever I slept over on that brush, I'm going to move over to the other side. So this is very bright. I think it can come off a little bit too stark if you're not careful. If you are more fair, you're really, really going to like this. If you have more of a medium complexion, use a light hand. All you got to do though is lightly tap and tap off your brush and then work that formula into the skin. But it is a beautiful formula though. And you can really work it into the skin to where it looks like it is one with the skin. I'm going to take a little bit of the pink one. I'm going to pop that in here and even like that pink one, super bright. This is a really bright highlight. Wow. So I'm going to finish the rest of my face and then we will move on to the lip products. So all I did was put on some mascara. But it's time to move on to the lips. We have a long lasting liquid lipstick in the shade Story because she writes books. So this is described as a mocha nude mauve. So it actually looked a lot darker online. I was a little bit worried, but now seeing it in person, it does definitely have some depth to it, but it looks very pretty. I love mauve lips. Okay, so Ophra definitely has a very comfortable liquid lipstick formula. Feels nice on the lips, a little bit more creamy than a lot of liquid lipsticks. And I love this color. I think this will carry very well over to deeper skin tones too. And it's not too dark on me. Like if this was like two shades lighter, I would say, oh my gosh, this is my new everyday lip color. This is a little bit more deeper, but I like this. I really think this is a pretty color. I think it looks very good on me. And then we also have a gloss and this is in the shade Millie and Millie is a pearl iridescent duo. So I'm actually going to put this on my finger because I hate when this gets dirty. Oof. Oh my gosh. Do you see that? Wow. First second there, that iridescence was looking a little bit strong for me, but once you kind of press your lips together, it definitely becomes more wearable. Almost a little bit more clear, but it's not completely clear. I think that if you like that iridescence, you might want to wear it on more nude lips or like your lip color because it does blend into this lip shade a lot to kind of neutralize that iridescence. It's not a super thin formula, but it's not super thick either. It's a nice even in the middle kind of formula. So this is a gloss that's going to go with a lot of different lip colors because it's basically sheer with that iridescence to it. But honestly, I really like the liquid lipstick, so this is something that I would wear alone. There we have it. That is the Samantha March and Ophra collaboration, all of the products. Overall, I think every product is really nice. I think she did a good job of also making sure the colors kind of cater to a larger skin tone at scale. Given that there's only one of each product, I think the formulations are buildable, so that is really good for a range of skin tones. I think my favorites in this collection are definitely the blush duo. I just love this matte blush so much. The glowy side is also really beautiful, but I just love colors like this. And then I also love her color for the liquid lipstick. I just think it's very stunning. It makes you look very put together. Kind of like you put more effort into your look than you did, but everything is super nice. Major points, I would say. A nice buildable bronzer. This is definitely, I went to the beach kind of bronzer, not I'm going to look contoured and chiseled. Like I said, beautiful blush formula. The highlight, use with caution. Dang, that's blinding. Wear sunglasses. Love the liquid lipstick, and the gloss is very nice and versatile. So overall, Samantha, you did a fabulous job with this collection. The colors are beautiful. I think so many people are going to like it. It's very everyday friendly. It goes with everything. A lot of different colors. And this being my introduction to Ophra as a brand, I'm quite impressed with their powder formulas.
