Flower Cream Blush in Pure Petunia




Today I'll be reviewing the Flower cream blush in Pure Petunia.  This is going to be very similar to a previous post on the Flower cream blush in Peach Blossom.

The packaging is simple and beautiful.  The white and rose gold colors just speak to me. It has a flip top, which for me is always a plus since I feel like I'm always dropping my lids.  

This cream blush is creamy in consistency and blends out beautifully on the skin.  I have used both my fingers and a Real Techniques Stippling brush to apply it.  I love it equally both ways.  But I do prefer the to use the brush on days I'm wearing this blush on top of foundation.  The use of the brush prevents any movement of the foundation.  

The size is compact and the product size is very close to the same size as a MAC eyeshadow.

This color is simply beautiful.

Beauty Moxie Approved!

FLOWER Cream Blush in Peach Blossom: Swatches and Review



Here we have the Flower cream blush in Peach Blossom.  The packaging is beautiful, simple, and compact.  I'm always drawn to anything white, add rose gold and I'm SOLD.

This is a gorgeous light peach.  It looks beautiful on it's own and pairs well with many blushes in my collection.  I found that this wore very well and I believe that even if you're not a huge fan of cream blushes that this still might be appealing to you.  

This blush gets my approval for sure.  I'm going to be picking up more shades in the near future.

Flower is not tested on animals and is made in the USA.

Thanks for reading!

FLOWER Black Label Lipstick in LS12


For starters, I love the packaging.  It's a sleek black with rose gold detail.  I like that you can see the color on the bottom.  With that being said, the top has a funny shape so it isn't exactly easy to store upside down.  


These lipsticks do not have names so this one is labeled LS12.  I prefer when products have names and not just numbers because they are easier for me to remember. 


The color is a beautiful creamy rose pink.  It's very soft on the lips.  The only down fall I found is that it had a very unpleasant plastic scent.  Over time (5 minutes), it does become unnoticeable, but immediately after application it's pretty stinky.

I hope this helps some of you make a decision on whether or not you want to pick this one up.  Overall it's a great lipstick if you can hold on for 5 minutes until the smell dissipates.  

Thanks so much for reading!!

FLOWER Cream Eye Shadow in Wild Geranium: Swatches and Review




I was recently gifted a bunch of Flower cosmetic items because my area still doesn't have them available.  This has been one of my favorite items I've tried from Flower so far.  
First off, I love the packaging! I'm a packaging freak and a sucker for anything white.  This is a similar type of packaging to the Maybelline Color Tattoos but it has a square shape that I am loving.  


Once you open the package, you'll find the stopper. Don't throw this away.  If you've used the L'oreal Infalliable eye shadows, this is the same thing.  You'll need to keep it to keep the product in place.  I'm hoping it helps it from drying out to quickly as well.  


The consistency is mousse like and so creamy.  It was a dream to apply and blend.  As you can see, it's much more of a creamy texture than the Maybelline Color Tattoos or the MAC Paint Pots.  The formula is very user friendly.  


The color is a beautiful light golden bronze shade.  The pigmentation is amazing and the color was very vivd on the eye lid. I paired this with Urban Decay's Chopper eye shadow for an amazing summer look.  
I found that the shadow performed better when I topped with a powder eye shadow, but I did also enjoy wearing it one it's own.  However, I do suggest using some type of eye shadow primer because after about 4 to 5 hours without a primer the shadow had faded terribly.


Overall, I think this is a great product.  Even if you don't like cream eye shadows, I would recommend you trying this out because it's one of the easiest cream eye shadow formulas I've ever worked with.  

Once I can find these in my area, I will be looking to purchase more.

Thanks for reading.
