I have the Amrezy highlighter and theBalm’s dupe and honestly, theBalm’s Mary Lou-Manizer is such a close match that you can’t really tell the difference, especially if you spray a touch of setting spray on your face before you apply it. I almost regret getting the Amrezy one bc there is NO way that I’m gonna use it up in a whole year 😂

Hi Mel, yeah the brow freeze didn't wow me. I have better luck with the Benefit 24 hour setter. The highlighter was okay, at first I was not too happy about the slight greenish under tone but like you said, it's okay but not my favorite. I have soo many highlighters that if I wanted to I could go 2 months without grabbing the same one (yes, I have too many, but recently gave some away so I feel slightly better lol 😆 😅) I need the pandemic to end so I can go back to work in the office and use my makeup. Also, I don't use clear gloss and would never pay 20+ for one. My daughter loves the ELF 3 dollar clear gloss and I always stock her up during a Ulta sale lol 😆
