I am truly in love with this pigment. It is beautiful and extremely easy to use. I have been using everyday I just can not seem to go a day without it. I bought mine at Sephora on sale so I would recommend checking online. I have found amazon is selling it currently.

Drew Barrymore Flower Beauty

 BB1




 Shadow on my lids is mum's the word from Flower Beauty
The BB cream does have a matte finish at first but I did notice a little oil in my T zone at the end of the day. I recommend setting it with a powder if you have oily skin. Even though it does have SPF it does work well in photos. It is a little pricey, around $13 at my Wal-Mart. For a drug store BB cream it is wonderful however, I think I can get similar results with a drugstore foundation. One like Revlon Nearly Naked is great but a little more dewy. This BB cream does have a strong scent that does fade once applied. I have dry combo skin in the winter and I did not notice an patchiness or bunching up throughout the day.  

 Mum's the Word






I recommend using an eyeshadow primer with these creme eyeshadows as their staying power is not  wonderful. The color selection is amazing and they are beautiful. 





 No twist
One twist
Two twist

Overall I am in love with this mascara! Wonderful results and much easier than false lashes.

Beautiful color however, lasting power is just not there. Returned this item!

Flower beauty can only be found at Wal-Mart or wal-mart.com

Hello there! These are my personal top ten MAC eyeshadows; I own 32 MAC eyeshadows in total. Nylon is the perfect inner corner or brow bone high light shade. Omega is matte and works wonders for filling in eyebrows if you have blonde or red hair it also works well for a crease color. Omega is the perfect "best friend" shade. Mystery is another matte shadow that is great for brows if you have dark brown hair and works well in the crease. Patina is one of those shades that surprised me at MAC, it does not look like much  in the pan but works beautifully for a lid color. Jest is a pink cream shade that works really great on the lid if you have fair to medium skin. All That Glitters is one of MAC's most talked about shades and deservingly so, it is great for the lid and high light. Satin Taupe probably my second most favorite shade of all time it works amazing in the crease for all skin tones. Shale is gorgeous for the crease or lid. The shade Club is my most favorite colored shades, multidimensional taupe/green/brown. Last but not least Coppering is a great pop of color I love to use it as a liner, crease color, or lid color. There are many MAC eyeshadows I love but these are just my top ten.
