Flower Beauty

If you know me, you know I love make-up.

Now, I'm not saying that I paste it on, because I don't, and I'm not saying that I never leave the house without it, because I do.

But as much as I love adventures and mischief and getting into trouble (in the best ways possible), I also love all things girly-- sparkles and high heels and smelling nice and pretty things and makeup.

On occasion, I have even been known to spend  a whopping $34 on a single tube of Yves St. Laurent lipstick, which I love dearly and am happy to use on special occasions, but which is not exactly practical or cost efficient for daily use. In order to give my bank account a break, an epic search for a brand of makeup that looks pretty and is reasonably priced began. Mostly I just bought a bunch of cheap, crappy makeup and got closer and closer to resigning myself to spending way too much money on something as unimportant as the shade of my lip tint.

Imagine my delight when I discovered Flower Beauty, Drew Barrymore's line of makeup sold only at Walmart.

I don't consider myself a snob, but I tend to turn my nose up at buying makeup from Walmart. However, I initially heard about Flower from a friend of mine who is in the top twenty finalists of girls who hope to become the new face of the make-up line. I figured she was a reliable source and figured I might as well try it out.

I bought the Kiss Stick Velvet Color in Desert Flower and am so pleased with it. It's pretty! It feels nice! It smells good! It stays on! It's cheap!

Though I didn't do more than try out some samples of items like the creme eyeshadow and highlighter chubby, I have a feeling I'll be back to make those purchases in the near future.

Props to you, Drew Barrymore. You did real good.

My new favorite lipstick shade. I love it.
