Variant: 01 Dolce Perla
- “You know how I said the bronzers are really, really dark? Okay. Well, the highlights are the same way”7:11–7:15
- “These you actually do have to go with a lighter shade than what you think for this to give you the effect that you want”7:28–7:36
- “This one leans more on the champagne shade. One shade darker gets way too gold and it doesn't really show up on your skin”7:39–7:47
- “So I like this one for more of that light catching effect versus something that is a little bit more of a match to my skin tone”7:49–7:56
- “Tada. So pretty”

Variant: 01 Dolce Perla
- “This is a soft pinky champagne shade that I do think is a little bit too pink on my skin, but if you had a cooler undertone than me, then I think you'd really like that”31:20–31:28
- “It's soft, it's not too dry, and it has a buildable glow”31:38–31:42
- “It does remind me a little bit of Essence Pure Nude at first where it gives you a bit of a softer, more diffused look, but this one you can build up quite a bit”31:40–31:44
- “I still prefer Essence and L'Oreal Lumi Le Glass to this”32:11–32:15

Variant: 01 Dolce Perla
- “You know what it gives I'm not being shady? It gives like my first highlight”
- “Milani highlighter, sure. I just think, again, hate to shout out my sisters over at Wet n Wild, but for a drugstore highlighter, there's a lot better options. This is just kind of a non-event”26:56–27:00
