Flower Beauty Flower Pots Blushes come in 5 shades (the fifth, Deep Peony, is only available on Flower Beauty’s website). I purchased the 4 available on Ulta’s website. Each one contains 0.21 oz / 6 grams and retails for about $11. I’ve heard many people say these are available at Walmart as well but their website only has 3 of the shades and many of my local Walmarts do not carry them.

Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea is a soft rosy shade with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It is just ever so slightly powdery but not messy in the pan. It had medium opacity but built up well on the cheek and blended out easily. This shade lasted about 7 hours before I noticed a little bit of fading.

Peach Primrose

Peach Primrose is a light orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. This was also a bit powdery but didn’t make a mess when picking up product with a brush. This shade had more pigmentation than sweet pea but not so much that it was difficult to apply or blend out. I noticed slight fading after 8 hours of wear.

Wild Rose

Wild Rose is a bright blue-based pink with a matte finish. It was a little powdery but not messy in the pan. The pigmentation was good but not overly strong which made applying and blending this very bright shade easy. I wore this for about 8.5 hours and saw very minimal fading by the end of it.

Warm Hibiscus

Warm Hibiscus has a medium pink base with a light peachy sheen. The shimmer is fairly strong so if it is applied heavily the finish can become frosty and emphasize texture. I felt that applying it with a light hand gave me enough of the pinky base to show up without getting overly shimmery on the cheek. This is a shade to be a bit careful with when applying. I wore this for 8 hours and didn’t notice any fading.

Color

Flower Beauty Wanderlust (Austin – Downtown Dusk) Eyeshadow Palette:

• Lighter matte orange – I used a fluffy brush (Sigma E35) to apply this in a diffused way as a transition shade. I also used a smaller fluffy brush (Morphe M506) to apply this in a more “blown out” way on the lower lashline.
• Darker matte orange – I used a more precise crease brush (Mac 217) to apply this shade to the outer lid and worked it up into the outer crease. Using the flat side of the Mac 217 I packed the color on the outer lid to intensify the color. I used the tip of a small flat shader brush (Mac 231) to apply this shade more closely to the lower lashline, focusing the color mostly on the outer half.
• Metallic copper – I used a Mac 239 to apply this to the center of the lid. I had to dip back into the eyeshadow maybe 3 times and layer it up a bit, but otherwise the color applied well with a dry brush. I didn’t have to use my fingers to get this color to apply well.
• Shimmery champagne – I used a tiny flat brush (NYX Lip Brush) to apply this shade to the inner lid and very lightly to the brow bone. This shade performed very much like the metallic copper.

Flower Beauty’s Wanderlust Eyeshadow Palettes, $11 each, come in 3 variations and are exclusive to Ulta. Each palette contains a unique mix of six city-inspired shades, curated by the brand’s creator, Drew Barrymore.

So far from swatches and playing with the different colors, I am impressed. The shadows have really good color payoff and the colors look like they will be nice to have on hand to complement my more tame, everyday neutral eyeshadow palettes. There isn’t much overlap in the shades in these little palettes with shades I already have in my collection, which is nice.

Some of the more glittery/metallic shades ended up having glitter fallout, so when using these, it’s best to do your eye makeup first and then do your face makeup. From my first few attempts playing with these, the satin/matte shades blended nicely.

From somebody who typically does more simple, neutral eye looks, these are challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and be more creative.
