Review: Flower Beauty Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette! (Swatches + Look!)

Drugstore Highlighting Palette!

I saw a few of my favorite influencers rave about the Flower Beauty Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette so I went to my local Walmart to snag it up! I mean... when you spot a highlighting palette at the drugstore for only $13 you gotta get it, right? haha. For the price you get three highlighting shades and a brush, all in beautiful white and rose gold packaging...sold!

The formula is so silky! They actually remind me of the metallic/shimmer shadows in the Covergirl TruNaked Palettes, really smooth, thin feeling but lots of sheen. I love the different shades they included because they're suitable for most if not all skintones. They apply great dry but it you want to blind a friend or two definitely apply them wet! What I appreciate the most is how long they last! I've used this palette early in the morning and by the end of the day the highlight is still pretty noticeable.

Here are the swatches! I wanted to show you how they looked in natural light vs with flash. With flash you can tell the level of shine it has on the skin, so beautiful! I'm wearing a mix of the champagne shade + the golden one in the picture below. I love how it looks on the skin, it melts into your makeup instead of just awkwardly sitting on top.

Bottom line: I'm a huge fan of this palette! I like the variety in the shades and how you can mix and match them to create your perfect highlight. It's a perfect travel palette too! I'm really impressed with the formula and the price is amazing too. Check it out on your next Walmart trip! :-)

Review: FLOWER Win Some, Rouge Some Creme Blush in Peach Blossom!

Perfect Peachy Flush!

Cream blush is the ideal formula for the summer time! The only problem is finding a formula that works. There's so many cream blushes in the market that just don't last or go on too sheer for my liking. I kinda gave up on them for a bit but... I found a formula that actually works! I purchased the Flower Cosmetics Win Some, Rouge some Crème Blush in Peach Blossom and it's an amazing product. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! It retails for $7.98 and can only be purchased at Walmart.

Now... I didn't expect it to be this tiny. The product itself is the size of a Mac Eyeshadow covered in rose gold packaging. Since it's pretty pigmented it will last you a while! It's so smooth and goes on evenly. Normally cream blushes tend to be hard to blend and end up looking patchy but this one went on great and was very easy to blend. The color remains vibrant and doesn't fade away throughout the day. I wore it to work on a very hot day and when I came home it still looked amazing!

This color is so pretty! It's creamy peachy pink shade that looks amazing on sun kissed skin. It's very buildable if you want more of a noticeable blush or can be worn in subtle way to just give your cheeks a glow! It's a versatile product which I love. The best way to apply this blush is with your fingers.

 

Bottom line:  This product is perfect for this time of year! Even on hot days it didn't fade so the quality is amazing. The colors they offer is so pretty, I'm intrigued to try some more! Drew Barrymore did a great job with these. My only wish would be a lower price because they are a bit expensive for a drugstore blush but... it performs so it's worth it! ;-)
