Westman Atelier The Summer Bronze Trio Review & Swatches

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I was thrilled to see numerous Westman Atelier Nordstrom Anniversary Sale exclusive sets, and I purchased the Westman Atelier The Summer Bronze Trio immediately. It consists of the following full-size products: Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Dou Dou, Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar and Westman Atelier Liquid Super Loaded Sheer Illuminator Drops in Peau de Soleil. The three products together are the perfect way to have a sun-kissed glow that is fuss-free and easy to apply. I purchased the set because I really wanted all three of the products, but also because of the value pricing (Price: $115.00. Value: $154.00). The set is still available at Nordstrom, and it is still at the value pricing, but I have listed the prices and where to buy the individual products if the whole set doesn't appeal to you.

According to Nordstrom,

A trio of blush and highlighting essentials for 'just-got-back-from-the-beach' summer skin in two minutes or less.

Set includes:

Liquid Super Loaded Sheer Illuminator Drops in Peau de Soleil (1 oz.): a supercharged complexion enhancer with long-term benefits and an instant, ethereal glow.

Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Dou Dou (0.21 oz.): a multipurpose blush stick for a healthy, hydrating, natural flush of color in just one swipe.

Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar (0.17 oz.): a clean, translucent gel highlighter that imparts skin with fresh and radiant clarity.

Westman Atelier Liquid Super Loaded Sheer Illuminator Drops in Peau de Soleil ($58.00 for 1 oz. from Nordstrom, Sephora, Westman Atelier, Violet Grey and Credo Beauty): Described as, "a supercharged complexion enhancer with long-term benefits and an instant, ethereal glow"– these highlighting drops can be applied directly to the skin, or my preferred method to add a couple of drops to my foundation or tinted moisturizer. The overall impression is a lit-from-within sun-kissed glow. Peau de Soleil is described as a "Golden Hour Bronze" and it is absolutely stunning on the skin. This does not have a glitter-filled disco-ball effect, but instead an stunning luminosity.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Dou Dou ($48.00 0.21 oz. and $26.00 for .09 oz. from Nordstrom, Sephora, Westman Atelier, Violet Grey and Credo Beauty): This blush is developed to offer, "a healthy flush of color in just one swipe. Hydrating, natural finish." Dou Dou is a stunning warm rose that can be used on the cheeks, lips and eyelids, and if you are seeking a stunning monochromatic look, this shade really delivers. It boasts buildable opaque coverage, it glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly and it offers hydration to the skin. This is a lovely,  shade that is a dream to use.

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar ($48,00 for 0.17 oz. and $26.00 for .09 oz. from Nordstrom, Sephora, Westman Atelier, Violet Grey and Credo Beauty): This is a, "multitasking gel highlighter for facial-fresh clarity. Glassy finish." The formula, which comes in a stick form, and is a translucent gel highlighter that gives skin a gorgeous ethereal glow and makes skin look fresh and dewy without a greasy residue. In fact, the skin-loving ingredients hydrate the skin. Nectar is described as a, "glassy golden peach" that is absolutely gorgeous and flattering on the skin. This highlighting stick can be used on the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the cupid's bow, the lips and eyelids.

Directions: Blend Liquid Super Loaded Illuminator Drops with fingertips all over the complexion for a shot of sun-kissed and bronzed vacation skin. Apply Baby Cheeks Blush Stick onto cheeks and lips for a flushed-from-within pop of color and dab Lit Up Highlight on the high points of the face for a glassy glow.

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Lit Review and Swatches

GWP (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Lit is a glassy and clear iridescent highlighter with a stunning multicolored, and pink-leaning, sheen that imparts a gorgeous ethereal glow to the skin without harsh glitter. This solid gel highlighter still can be used anywhere on the face that you want to be luminous, but it can also be used on the lips, in the cupid's bow, the corners of the eyes and on the collar bones. This formula is sublime– it gently glides across the skin and deposits color evenly and it neither emphasizes pores, not fine lines. I love to wear it on my cheek bones after I have applied my blush, and I love the light pink sheen when I wear it on my lips. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I am now eyeing the Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar (see below). It is no surprise that I am a huge fan of Westman Atelier brushes and makeup, and the more products that I try, the deeper my love grows for this spectacular beauty brand.

According to Westman Atelier,

Multitasking gel highlighter for facial-fresh clarity. Glassy finish. This clean, translucent gel highlighter imparts skin with facial-fresh, radiant clarity. Flattering, light-catching undertones and skin firming ingredients leave a dewy, glassy and unforgettable finish. A quick and hydrating way to perk up dull skin. Dab across cheeks, bridge of nose, cupid’s bow, lips and lids.

No silicones, no parabens, no PEGs, no phthalates. No animal testing.

Gucci posits, "I keep this on hand to rejuvenate my skin throughout the day. Glide it onto tops of cheeks, cheekbones, cupid's bow and tear ducts for subtle iridescence and clarity. This jelly-like highlighter refreshes skin when it feels dull or parched. I love how skin looks just after a facial, and Lit Up mimics that clean, clear, impossibly fresh effect."

Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate, Octyldodecanol, Triisodecyl Trimellitate, Polybutene, Polyethylene, Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Dicalcium Phosphate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Tin Oxide, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract [Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract], Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

Westman Atelier Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set is something that I simply could not resist purchasing. I have been a big fan of Westman Atelier makeup and brushes since the brand launched, but I have also been eagerly awaiting a powder blush from them, and this set features their first powder blush in Petal. Additionally, my daily lip gloss is Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Chou Chou (A gorgeous pale pink. Reviewed HERE), and my daily lipstick is the Westman Atelier Lip Suede in Les Nudes (Reviewed HERE). I also have collected all of Westman Atelier Makeup Brushes and use them every single day (All 9 brush reviews linked in this review HERE and the travel brushes HERE). 

I had been coveting this limited edition set when it launched for the holidays in 2023, but I didn't purchase it when it launched (regular price $160.00), but instead I purchased it the moment it went on sale (now selling for $96.00).

This curated trio of essentials includes (limited edition):

• NEW Baby Cheeks in Petal in its first-ever powder blush format - full size; 8g/0.28oz.
• NEW Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar - full size, 6.5ml/0.21oz.
• NEW Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit - full size; 5g/0.17oz.

According to Westman Atelier,

Our best-selling shades re-imagined into limited edition beauty staples that bring a dewy freshness to skin & lips. The stars of the show, re-imagined. A rosy pop of color and glassy sheen breathe new life into skin and lips. Made with clean, high-performance and good-for-you ingredients, for a playfully fresh look that is always effortless & never overdone.

• NEW Baby Cheeks in Petal in its first-ever powder blush format - full size; 8g/0.28oz.
• NEW Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar - full size, 6.5ml/0.21oz.
• NEW Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit - full size; 5g/0.17oz.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in Petal (8g/0.28oz.): is their first-ever powder blush in their most popular cream blush color (incidentally named after Gucci Westman's daughter, Petal). Petal is a matte dusty rose shade without any shimmer whatsoever. It was created to emulate a natural cheek color, or flush, and is beautiful on the skin. The formula is buildable, but a little goes a very long way, and therefore start with a small amount and build to achieve the level of color saturation that you desire. The texture is an ultra soft and refined powder that is silky smooth against the skin. It is such a wonderful formula, and I sincerely hope that it not only becomes a permanent part of the line, but that they add more colors.

Ingredients: Mica Squalane Zinc Stearate Perlite Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Potassium Sorbate Aluminum Hydroxide Chlorphenesin Punica Granatum Pericarp Extract Kaolin Rosa Hybrid Flower Extract Titanium Dioxide Ci 77891 Iron Oxides Ci 77491 Iron Oxides Ci 77492 Iron Oxides Ci 77499 Ultramarines Ci 77007 Bismuth Oxychloride Ci 77163 Red 7 Lake Ci 15850.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar (0.21 oz.): is a lightly tinted clean lip treatment nourishes and hydrates the lips like a lip balm, but with the shine and sparkle of a lip gloss. This formula is non-sticky, has the perfect amount of that cushion for comfortable wear, and it is weightless on the lips. Nectar, which is described as a sparkling golden peach, with a touch of pink, offers a very light veil of color. It is quite sheer, but with dimension.

Ingredients: Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil / Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Octyldodecanol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil / Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil / Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Mica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tocopherol, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil / Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Tin Oxide, Parfum / Fragrance, Limonene May Contain (+/-) : Ci 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, Ci 77491 / Ir.

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit (0.17 oz.): is a translucent gel highlighter, in a stunning tawny-beige shade, that highlights the skin with radiance and clarity. It can be used on the cheeks, lips and eyelids, and it is very flattering.

Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate Octyldodecanol Tridecyl Trimellitate Pol Ybutene Pol Yethylene Mica Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina) Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax Synthetic Wax Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Silica Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate Dicalcium Phosphate Tin Oxide Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract [Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract] Alumina Titanium Dioxide Ci 77891 Iron Oxides Ci 77491 Iron Oxides Ci 77492 Iron Oxides Ci 77499 Carmine Ci 75470.

Overall Assessment: This was a wonderful purchase worth every single cent, especially since I got it on sale from Nordstrom. The links below will let you know where it is still on sale. I highly recommend this set if the color story is of interest to you. This is an ultra-luxe cruelty-free clean beauty brand that is definitely worthy of your consideration! A+

Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition Set (Nordstrom Exclusive) Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition Set (Nordstrom Exclusive. $208 Value for $165.00) is a stunning set that I repeatedly looked at online until I finally caved and bought it, and I am so happy that I did. I knew that I wanted to buy another Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes because I wear mine all of the time, and absolutely love this gorgeous palette, and I had been wanting to try the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal, and I was curious to try the Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé. Therefore, since there was a significant discount on this set, $43.00 to be exact, I finally splurged.

A Nordstrom-exclusive set of clean, multitasking highlight products that will give your skin and lips radiant color and glow.

Set includes:

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal ($48.00 value. Full size. 0.21 oz.): a clean, multipurpose blush stick for your cheeks and lips.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé ($75.00 value. Full size. 0.14 oz.): a beautiful, clean highlighting cream for cheeks and eyes that delivers luminous warmth in flattering shades.

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes ($85.00 value. Full size 0.16 oz.): the most wearable lipstick you'll ever meet. It's a customizable lip color that's soft and features a sheer finish.

Features: Natural Beauty & Wellness products are free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone and talc. Cruelty-free. Made in Italy.

The packaging is weighty, elegant and ultra-luxe. The products themselves are of the highest quality and they are cruelty-free.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé is described as a "Warm Peachy Rose" that can be sed on the cheeks, face and eyes. It offers a stunning ethereal glow, not glitter, and it can be worn day or night. The creamy texture spreads across the skin with ease and deposits color evenly. Everything about this highlighter is stunning!

According to Westman Atelier,

A beautiful, clean highlighting cream for cheeks and eyes that delivers luminous warmth in flattering shades.

This soothing, multipurpose highlighter is loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients and treatment benefits for a beautiful boost of glowing color.

Directions: For your cheeks, apply with a blender brush or the flat side of your fingers for smooth, refined application. For your eyes, use the edge of a blender brush or your finger to swipe luminous color across your eyelids.

Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mica, Octyldodecanol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil [Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil], Silica, Beeswax [Cera Alba], Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax [Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax], Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Flavor (Aroma), Octyldodecyl Myristate, Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol, Tin Oxide, Trihydroxystearin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Carmine (CI 75470).

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes is a gorgeous sheerer-leaning lip palette that is perfect for people who love customizable nude shades the provide a truly beautiful wash of color. This is a very nourishing lip palette filled with good-for-you skincare ingredients that moisturize and condition the lips. The pigments are 100% natural and range in shades from more pigmented shades such as warm rose and mulled wine to the lighter shades peony and café crème. You can easily mix the shades to customize your perfect nude shade, but the entire palette is intentionally more sheer. You can apply these shades with a brush or with your finger for sheer to light pigmentation with a beautiful sheen. As is the case with sheer to light coverage lipsticks of this sort, they lack the longevity of richly pigmented formulas that stain the lips, but I do not find the wear time lacking. This palette is very comfortable to wear and it boasts the perfect amount of cushion. In short, it feels and looks amazing on the lips, and it offers a couple of hours of wear-time on me. This cruelty-free palette is also vegan.

This palette is of you if you are a fan of cruelty-free eco-luxe cosmetics that are filled with healthy ingredients. The texture is luxurious, and the shades are lovely, but they offer a sheer to light wash of color. Therefore, if you are seeking lipsticks with intense pigmentation and color payoff, then this palette is not for you. I love nudes and sheer to light washes of color, and that is precisely why I purchased this palette, and I am very happy with it. Westman Atelier does offer a richly pigmented palette called Les Rouges (fuschia, deep brick red, tomato red, and warm dusty rose) that may appeal to you instead. 

Les Nudes Swatches Left to Right: Mulled Wine, Café Crème, Peony and Warm Rose.

Ingredients: Ricinus Communis Seed Oil/Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Prunus Avium Seed Oil/Prunus Avium (Sweet Cherry) Seed Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera/Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Lauroyl Lysine, Trihydroxystearin, Mica, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil*/Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Limonene.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal is described as a "Dusty Nude Rose" multipurpose blush stick that can be used on your cheeks and lips. This creamy dreamy blush has a wonderful emollient consistency that deposits the perfect amount of buildable color on the cheeks and lips. The quality is superb, and the color is incredibly flattering.

According to Westman Atelier,

Its creamy texture melts into skin to deliver a naturally effervescent flush of buildable color. The blush's formula contains soothing ingredients that work to balance moisture. It's available in a range of effortless shades for you to mix and match to your mood.
