Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Ofra Cosmetics x Samantha March Collection! For those of you unfamiliar with Ofra Cosmetics, they are a cruelty free beauty brand out of Florida that is most known for their highlighters and liquid lipsticks. Ofra Cosmetics was created by Ofra Gaito and is a family owed/run business. Samantha March is an author (Amazon page here) and beauty influencer/YouTuber. I don't know Samantha on a personal level but we have crossed paths in the beauty community through influencer groups and events. Samantha is such a sweet, humble, and genuine person. I decided to pick up the whole PR Collection Box when it first launched last month to support her. Keep reading to hear more about the collection, to see swatches, and to hear my thoughts on each product! 

Ofra x Samanth March Collection $129.00

As mentioned, I purchased the PR box that included the whole collection which includes a bronzer duo, a highlighter duo, a blush duo, a liquid lipstick, and a lip gloss.

What I loved most about this collection is that every item has a personal meaning and story behind it. 

The PR box design mimics a book which I though was really cute and clever given that Samantha is also an author.

The products in the collection can be purchased in this PR box set or separately.

Samantha March Start Inspired Highlighter Duo $35.00

Samantha created this highlighter duo by pairing her favorite shades Pillow Talk (soft pearl pink) and Star Island (warm ivory). She named the duo Start Inspired because every story has a beginning and this highlighter started it all.

Here is a swatch of the highlighter duo:

This highlighter duo is definitely unique to my collection. I usually gravitate towards more gold or champagne shades. I wouldn't wear the pink shade Pillow Talk alone but it looks really pretty mixed with Star Island. Pillow Talk also makes a pretty lid shade. Star Island makes your eyes POP when applying it to the inner corners of your eyes. Like with all Ofra highlighters, these are extremely soft, buttery, and insanely pigmented.

Samantha March Chick Lit Blush Duo $35.00

The next chapter in this collection is Chick Lit. This blush duo includes two rosy shades. A lighter pink nude matte shade and a shimmery warm deep rose shade. This duo was named Chick Lit after her blog (Chick Lit Plus) and the genre of literature that she writes.

Here is a swatch of the blush duo:

This blush is my favorite item from the collection. Just like the highlighters, these blushes are very soft and pigmented. Both shades are very flattering and once again you can wear them separately or mixed together. They also work well as eyeshadows. The shimmery shade looks beautiful all over the lid! 

Samantha March River Bronzer Duo $35.00

This bronzer has a shimmer (warm copper bronze) shade and matte (light neutral mocha) shade which can both be worn separately or mixed together. Samantha came up with the name River as it paid homage to the Mississippi River which she grew up visiting often and still visits since it is near her home in Iowa.

Here is a swatch of the bronzer duo:

I really like this bronzer duo! I use bronzer almost everyday and am very picky with them. It is a good mid toned bronzer and will work with many skin tones. It's warm but doesn't appear too orange on the skin. I prefer to use the matte side then the shimmer on top but I like that you can use them separately too. The matte side is also a great transition shade for your eyes!

By Samantha March Lip Duo $27.00

This duo includes both the lip gloss in Millie and liquid lipstick in Story.

Lip Gloss in Millie

This lip gloss is a pearl iridescent shimmer. Samantha named it after her beloved grandmother Millie who loved wearing pearls. 

This lip gloss has a nice shimmer to it.  It's a thicker gloss and isn't super sticky. It can be worn by itself or topped over a lipstick. It's also a great dupe for the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Diamond Milk.

Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Story

Story is a mocha nude mauve. It's name plays off the fact that Samantha is an author and loves telling stories. She grew up knowing she wanted to write books and help people through stories like they did for her. Her grandmother Millie was a big inspiration for her passions for writing.

This liquid lipstick is more wearable than I thought it was going to be. I really love mauves in general but prefer a lighter mauve. This is very pretty and does pull more on the brown/purple side rather than a pinky/purple mauve. I love Ofra lipsticks in general. They are very comfortable on the lips and are very long lasting.

Here is a pic of me wearing this whole collection:

Overall, I was really impressed with this collection! I absolutely love that the 3 face products are split pan and you basically get two products in one. I haven't been wearing makeup that often considering I have been working from home for the past 3+ weeks. I have been reaching for this collection when I do actually decide to wear makeup. I have been using the collection on my eyes as well instead of eyeshadow.  All of the products are high quality and the the packaging is really nice. I was already a fan of Ofra Cosmetics before this collection and love them even more now. I also like that you are given the option of purchasing the whole collection or just specific items. My favorite products from the collection would have to be the Chick Lit Blush Duo then the River Bronzer Duo. If you haven't guessed it yet, I highly recommend this collection!

Congrats Samantha! <3
