FLOWER BEAUTY: LIP PRODUCTS REVIEW

-

In today's post I'm going to be sharing my review on 3 different lip products I've tried from Flower Beauty. Enjoy!

Petal Pout Lip Color // $8.99



I have tried so many different lipsticks through the years - especially from the drugstore - but this formula is one of my absolute favorites. It wears all day long, which can be hard to find with traditional lipstick bullet formulas. It has a matte finish, but is so comfortable on the lips. I would say its most comparable to an old favorite of mine, the Clinique Long Lasting Soft Matte Lipstick, which has a very similar formula and wear time (unfortunately Clinique discontinued this a few months ago). The shade I have is called Berry-More which is so cute since the brand was created by Drew Barrymore. 

The packaging also feels so much more luxurious and high-end than any other product from the same price range and above. This has been one of my most used lipsticks over the past few months!

HydraSilk Ultimate Lip Butter // $9.99


 Whenever I wear red lipstick I typically only ever used a long-lasting matte formula. However, I've been wanting to try a more comfortable and hydrating one that is better for everyday use. I bought the shade Poppy Petal, which is a bright red with orange undertones. The formula doesn't last anywhere near the amount of time liquid lipsticks last, or even the Petal Pout Lip Color that I mentioned previously. So, if you eat or drink anything, you will eventually need to reapply it. It has a moisturizing balm-like finish that feels weightless on the lips, but has the pigmentation of a regular lipstick. With just one swipe, you will have full opacity. Sometimes with more hydrating lip products, it can bleed outside of the lip line or smudge all over your face if you aren't careful - however, I haven't found that to happen while wearing this. The only thing I would be cautious of is making sure the color doesn't transfer on your teeth after first applying it. If you're looking for an fun pop of color for the summer, then I highly recommend this one! 

Shade Shown: Poppy Petal

Galaxy Glaze Holographic Liquid Lip Color // $9.99



 This is by far the most beautiful lip gloss I ever used. It is full of iridescence and sparkle that can be worn on its own or paired on top of any lip color to completely transform it. I love to layer this gloss on top of the previous lipstick I mentioned, the HydraSilk Ultimate Lip Butter in the shade "Poppy Petal" to turn it into a prismatic red. The shade I have is called Molten which has red and gold glitter infused in it, but there is no gritty feeling once its on the lips like other glitter-based glosses can be. My mom was the first to try it in the mauve shade Milky Way which is full of silver and pink glitter. She's been through at least 3 tubes by now - so there's proof as to how amazing this product is! 
Shade Shown:

Overall from what I've learned about Flower Beauty, I really admire the story and ethics behind the brand. I briefly mentioned earlier that Drew Barrymore is the creator of the company and usually when it comes to celebrity makeup brands they tend to have higher prices just because of whose name is attached to it. Flower emphasizes consumer accessibility by making high-end products available at a low price. They just expanded their brand from being a Walmart exclusive to also being at Ulta now, so be sure to check it out! I have really loved everything I've tried from Flower so far and will definitely be purchasing from their brand more in the future and sharing my reviews here! Stay tuned for a review on their mascaras & concealer I've been using!

    Drew Barrymore has been doing a lot of PR lately to promote Flower Beauty - I found out about it from a video she did recently with the infamous NikkieTutorials! I was just about to stress exactly what you said within your conclusion - most of the time, we purchase celebrity endorsed/owned brands for the name attached but, here, I'm definitely convinced by some of these! I love the look of Berry-more - such a lovely soft pinky nude! I've had a lovely time reading this post Melissa - beautiful! x

      I loved that video she did with NikkieTutorials! The video she did with Tati a few weeks ago was so much fun to watch too! I really admire that regardless of who owns Flower it's still affordable and high quality at the same time. I wish more brands would be like that! I really can't recommend Flower enough - let me know if you ever try anything from them!

      I'm so glad you enjoyed this post! Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to comment, Marina! :) x

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a...
