Flower Cosmetics: Cheeks

I picked up 4 Creme Blushes (Forget Me Not, Peach Blossom, Pure Petunia, Rose-O-Den-Dron), and one Blush Bronzer Duo in Gloriously Golden.

 I really loved the way that these applied. They were pigmented yet easily bendable. I love that you can sheer these out or build the intensity up.

You need a very light hand with the blush and bronzer. I really like that the lid is magnetized. These were extremely finely milled and felt like butter. This duo contains no shimmer, it's completely matte so the bronzer is great for contouring.

I really love these. I think the packaging is adorable, I love the rose gold detailing and I am really liking the pigmentation throughout this line. What are your thoughts?

Flower Cosmetics: Lip Products

Flower Cosmetics recently launched at Walmart and I picked up a few items, I am going to be splitting this post in 4. Lips, cheeks, face, and nails.

The lipsticks in the black tube are very creamy and have a gloss finish. I find these wear 2-4 hours on my lips depending on if I eat or drink anything. There are 10 black tube lipsticks in the line, I have 5. These have great pigmentation and didn't feel drying.

LS10: Peachy Nude
LS 11: Baby Pinkish Nude
LS12: Pinky Mauve
LS13 and LS14 are very similar, you could just pick up one of these and get the same effect on the lips. I'd describe them as Orange-y corals.

LS1: Nude, more brown
LS2: Pinky Mauve
LS7: Peachy Orange
LS9: Bright Fuchsia

These lipsticks apply a bit more dry and have a velvet finish, but are still creamy. I wore these for 3-4 hours. I don't have the names of the two lip butters, so I wasn't going to guess. I have 4 of these lipsticks out of 10.   These feel a bit more heavy on the lips compared to the Maybelline Whispers but lighter than the Revlon Lip Butters. You can shear these out or build them up for a more opaque color, I got 2-3 hours of wear on these.

LG1: Peachy Nude
LG2: Milky Pink
LG3: Baby Pink
LG4: Light Fucshia
LG5: Pinky Mauve
LG6: Coral
LG10: Dark Red
These lip glosses have no shimmer and don't feel sticky on the lips. I was able to sheer them out or build them up on the lips, I think these pair great over top the lipsticks in this collection.

I really like the quality in these products and completely recommend these lipsticks and glosses.  I love the formula, color selection, and packaging and I appreciate the drugstore price.

Cream Shadows: What I'm wearing for Spring

I wear a cream shadow as primer often, it helps my shadow stay put while boosting the shadow. I also love to wear them on their own, here is my top 5!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink and Tenacious Teal. These stay put. I blend Inked In Pink all over the lid, I love the pink metallic shade, it doesn't make me look sickly or like I have an eye infection, that is a plus. 

I've been taking Tenacious Teal and smudging it in my upper lash line, thinking on the outter corner and coming in thinner towards the center. This gives me a pop of color but isn't overly colorful, I normally stay fairly neutral during Spring and Summer. 

Benefits Gabbi is one of the most creamy shadows I've ever tried. It blends beautifully and looks great on the lid blended out with MAC's soft brows or a shadow from the UD Naked Basics Palette. 

Chanel's Emerveille is a hybrid between a power shadow and a cream shadow, it almost has a foam like texture, sort of bouncy. It applies smoothly and stays all day, this over the lid by itself is a favorite.

MAC's Painterly Paint Pot is something I use regularly on its own or under powder shadows. It is a rosy flesh tone shadow that cancels out any color on my lids leaving me with a blank canvas. I've been wearing this all over the lid up to the brown bone with soft brown in the crease and a colored liner, recently Tenacious Teal.  

Hello all!
I'm Amanda. I am about to graduate with my degree and wanted something to fill some time! I've decided to make a blog dedicated to things that interest me, mainly beauty related but not limited to just that. I am going to try and post a few times a week. As a college student I think I've learned a few tips and tricks and hope to share them with you! :)
