I love the processing on these images and I feel you did a great job.
a nit pick I have is that it seems you may have applied a slight amount of skin softening?
if you did did you make sure to mask that layer and then mask out the eyes, hair? it almost seems as if if there was skin softening applied that it also went over the lips, eyes, and hair making the over all images feel softer than what they are.

I did use some noise reduction in LR, followed by:
Totally rad but did not go over the eyes, hair and lips. BUT I did use NikCollections glamor glow which I do think affects the whole image.
Your compositions, poses, exposures and lighting look quite good. I can't relate that this has become regarded as reasonable processing, though. She is rendered as a plastic doll with freakshow eyelashes in several frames. It borders on being insulting to the model, I fear. You may mean very, very differently of course. I mean no disrespect to you or the model.

eyelashes are all her, we will tone it down next time, ty
Here is another. I have toned down the skin softening, BUT you have to remember she is 24, her skin is soft. On the full res images there is a great deal of detail in her skin.
Unfortunately in the last one her hand is bright white and lighter than her face. It also emphasises her large forehead and her expression looks cold as though she's trying to smile but has had enough. Her hair's also a bit messy over her shoulders and has different lengths on each side of her chest.
#3 for da 'monkey...if you're keepin' score.
