I’m so damn glad I found you! I’m only 24 so I don’t really have “mature” skin but that being said I am extremelyyyyy dry ! I also have the same skin tone as you so you’re literally my go to when it comes to foundations and their shades! Thank you for literally existing ❤️
I totally agree, except that I’m only 3 years younger, so I definitely have mature skin, but our tones are right on and really really helps with foundation shades!!!! ❤️
I’m SO glad you mentioned the lavender smell. I have seen several reviews of this and nobody else had mentioned that. I cannot handle the lavender scent so you saved me the money on a foundation I’d have to donate. Edit-Just made it to the end...guess I wouldn’t have tried it anyway. I think I’ve only seen initial impressions
You look great in this stripe top! Love the eye look too. Thank you for talking about the fragrance component and putting foundations to the test. Masks don't help the staying power of very many foundations, no matter how cute and sparkly they are.
Wow I never realized the true color of your eyes until you were outside in the sun. They are beautiful!!! Those taupe eyeshadows are stunning on you. I’m glad you reviewed this foundation because I was going to pick this up this weekend. Maybe it dried you out if it has lavender . Lavender can act as an astringent and irritant to skin. So far this week I bought the Covergirl Matte BB, Covergirl Skin Milk and NYX Barr with me skin veil . I’m switching over to all light weight foundations now that my skin is better after a full year of a consistent skin care routine. Such a good feeling to not need heavy coverage anymore 😊. So far the NYX one is my favorite
Hi Shelly! I'm really excited about the powder! I'm not paying Charlotte Tilbury prices for powder! 😁 That was one royally disappointing foundation! You save me so much money! 💜💜💜💜
Great review! Ive given up on trying to find a decent hydrating foundation and just been putting a drop of CeraVe oil into my reg foundation :) it works.
I was digging through old Snapchat videos I saved from back when I used snap and I found some of my early Color Street nailfie videos... LOL my hands are so awkward!! But the nails look great 😂
I love this series! We like so many of the same foundations and I too was jazzed to see the new Flower display (I think it took over from Rimmel in my store? Or maybe it was PF)
Oooh I'm going to have to make note next time I'm in CVS if mine got rid of something! I'm trying to remember where I was standing.... and it might have been where Rimmel used to be.
I love the plaid candles in the background. Glad you reviewed this foundation. I have been wanting to try it but I think I will save my money now. Happy Thanksgiving!
hi Shelly! what a coincidence, I just got this foundation a few days ago and have been wearing it every day, it's ok for a no-makeup days, but I prefer medium coverage foundations, of course being a serum foundation I wasn't too hopeful, I've been liking that it's very light weight and hydrating, at least on my dry skin, setting powder is a must since it doesn't seem to set, and it definitely fades pretty fast... overall, I like it but I might have to mix it with a more coverage foundation to make it work... anywhooo... have an awesome Thanksgiving! hugzzz ❤️
I find that a lot of serum foundations disappear, I think it is because if you have dry skin it just drinks up the serum and leaves behind a dehydrated looking film of pigment.
I am SOO glad I have found your channel. No body else understands my desperate, insatiable need for foundation reviews 🤣. By the way I always thought CT is overrated, you just proved my point ❤️ from Oz
Thank you for this review Shelley. Ah the product started so promisingly, then went downhill. With your review in mind, I'd try this foundation (for "errand days") if it was in store on a deal with the lovely FB face powder. x
I’m so disappointed, too! I really wanted this to work for our 46 year old skin!😢 I may still try it since I like the dewy, light coverage, but I’m just not convinced it will work. Thank you for your reviews!💗💗
Love the colors on your eyes. And your skin is radiant. The shade is perfect. There is a difference at the 3 hour mark, it looks like it's wearing away. You don't look older, but at the end of the night, it just doesn't look nearly as nice as it did upon 1st application. Drew Barrymore has a talk show. I haven't seen it yet, but I love her. Did you see her in The Santa Clarita Diet? Great show. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ❤💗
Oh wow I didn't know she has a show!! I love her. She was recently on that show where the guy interviews people while they eat super hot wings (hers were veg of course). I can't remember the name of the show but she was great! And her makeup held up through some crazy wings!
@@goow here, it's on at 9am (you are sleeping, but can record it). I think it's on CBS. Are you thinking of James Cordon? I think that's what his name is. Remember, I pass out around 10:15! 😴😴
When I realized that Pikachu had fallen down before I filmed a couple videos ago, I was devastated! 😂 I know there are a couple of kids (and kids at heart) that look for Pikachu in my videos and he was missing!! I'm about 10% through level 39 on Pokemon Go.... SOMEDAY I will level up.....
Are you still doing the 7 layer moisture treatments? I tried it and wow!!! My skin is so soft!!! Its amazing how many little lines and wrinkles disappear when they are plumped up!
Thank you for your review! I had similar problems with the Light Illusion foundation, so I don’t think I’ll worry about this one. I’m looking for a cheaper dupe of my it cosmetics bye bye foundation, but I’m not sure it exists! I am going to pick up some flower beauty lipsticks, though, once my cvs restocks, and I am definitely going to try that powder!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I would like to find a budget dupe for the original IT CC foundation and was thinking of trying Revolution Pro CC Cream Perfecting Foundation because of the review video for it.
Happy Thanksgiving Shelly:) Your skin looks more and more beautiful lately. You’ve definitely achieved “glass skin”. Thanks for the review... so many amazing foundations have launched in the last year... it’s raised my standards big time. I can’t wait to see your 2020 faves💜
Pretty sure olive oil breaks down the skin's lipid barrier over time (per Jen Luvs Reviews' research). And some folks are sensitive to lavender. But other than that this is so intriguing to me, I almost bought it on a whim when I saw that display
I'm glad to see you more this week... It did look splotchy but I think it was very drying... Although I will say, your complexion is still very pretty... This will be a pass for sure...
Looks like another no-go in the books. At least the powder is a dupe. Now I think I'll go ahead and purchase that. I know I'll never be buying the CT. It's just too expensive for a powder in my opinion. ELF might have a dupe, too. There's a powder that people have been raving about, anyway. I can't remember the name of it but I'll find it. Thanks for another review! You're awesome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
I have not found this new foundation anywhere near me. I do have the Light Illusion powder though and like it quite a bit. The coverage of this one is really light and too bad it fades so quickly. :-( I'm a big fan of Drew Barrymore too so I want her makeup to be great!! Lol! :D The Light Illusion foundation is nice but it's soooooo dewy I end up having to powder the heck out of it to be able to apply blush and bronzer. Have a great Thanksgiving Shelly! :)
😂 I will count them next time I wash them! I never count them because they seem like an endless bottomless pit of brushes when I keep reaching into my dirty brush bin and there's yet another Elf brush to wash 😂
I love how this makeup look goes with your hair! I feel like serum foundations are very tricky and they're picky about how they should be applied in order to perform well all day long; I definitely agree it looked faded in your first check in, what a disappointment!
Sorry to hear about the foundation. That eye shadow looks nice though! What are your thoughts on colourpop eyeshadow? I just ordered their stone cold fox palette and looking forward to playing around with it!
I very much enjoy Colour Pop shadows! I pretty much buy any colors that appeal to me because their formula is consistent from one palette to the next, so if you like their formula, you can pretty much just shop by color choices :) I like their Super Shock singles too.
@@goow I do have a couple palettes from them already and have been pleased so far. One I’m giving to my friend because the color scheme wasn’t as appealing as I thought it would be after trying it but you know that happens. It looks good online but than doesn’t seem as good when you try it. At least colourpop is affordable!
Hey Shells ❤️ I still think you looked beautiful ❤️ that powder is def holy grail for me I wound up returning ms charlotte which was hard to do but girl when I saw they were exactly the same I couldn't keep the pricey one haha it was hard to say goodbye but I stocked up on flower beauty. Just curious will you keep buying ct now that you've found an exact dupe? Hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving 💕💕
Considering it took a year to go through my first CT even using it every day, I probably won't need another for a looooooong time with the Flower to use! 😂 Happy happy thanksgiving!!!
I’ve seen a few say that the No7 pressed powder is a dupe for CT as well??? I haven’t tried any of them, was just curious if you have tried the No7 as well to compare the three??!! ❤️
Hi Lauren! I'd say anything that is an A grade (or on the top 10 for the various levels of coverage and finishes... I have over 200 foundations so I don't have just one holy grail). :-D Here is the master list, ranked and searchable! geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
I’m so glad you tested this one! I tried it earlier this month and wanted to love it so much, but it was a return for me. Not enough coverage and didn’t wear well on me, either.
Have u tried anything from the new brand by Revolution? I was looking at some of it today in Boots and I’m intrigued, the packaging is soo pretty....please do a review, well if u haven’t already, I really can’t remember if u have or not 😂 I finished radiotherapy today woo hoo, it’s been a long 5 weeks, I’m so happy and relieved though....Happy Thanksgiving to u and everyone across the pond 😘 I wish I could try Flower Beauty but I don’t think we sell it here in the UK 😩
I tried the XX Revolution foundation and it was meh, which bummed me out. They've got a bunch of new skincare too that I have not tried. Congrats on concluding your therapy!! Bright days ahead!! 💜
@@goow I was looking at the primers and nearly got one but stopped myself as I have loads of makeup lol now it’s just a waiting game to see if treatment has worked, I won’t get a scan for another 8-12 weeks, radiotherapy is still doing its thing in my body for 6 weeks after treatment, hence why the long wait for a scan 💖
Drew Barrymore must have perfect skin, because all her foundations (I know of 3: Skincognito stick, Light Illusion, and this) have been light coverage. 🤔
If you're avoiding dewy, I'd try Dior Backstage, Milk Flex stick, or CoverGirl TruBlend Matte Made. If satin-luminous is OK, MAC Face & Body or Dior Forever Skin Glow. I also recommend Kosas Tinted Face Oil for dry patches but it's quite dewy.
Thank you so so much!! I like luminous but unfortunately I have oily skin so I can’t do anything too dewy/luminous. I’m using tretinoin so I do get some dryness. I love your videos and really appreciate you!
I got a Flower Beauty powder a while ago. (Miracle Glow loose powder) It is nice. But the quantity in the container is very little. I don't remember the details now, but price per ounce it's comparable to many higher priced powders....check! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ooooh I will check! Comparing it only to the Charlotte Tilbury, the CT is 0.28 oz and the Flower is .3 oz. I'd be curious to see how much is in it compared to other drugstore options. I don't have any handy to look!
Well, with lavender in it, it’s not fragrance free, so not an option for me. Ironically, synthetic fragrance is usually less irritating to the skin. Botanicals tend to be more irritating. However, I love the regular Flower Beauty foundation, although I see you hated it! But I have slightly oily skin. I hope it’s not going anywhere. I’ll have to try the Flower Beauty powder!
My guess is they'll keep both foundations since this one is a much lighter coverage. Of course brands' product decisions never make sense to me so I might be thinking too logically 😂
Hi Shelley - oh dear it wasn't that great was it? Flower beauty fairly recently came to the UK (Superdrug stocks it in larger stores and online), but it's a more capsule collection ie not a ton of products. A brand review of hits and misses might be a good video? I will give the foundation a miss though after seeing it dehydrate you, my severely dry skin would hate it. I don't have a lot of flaky skin, but even with layers (and layers) of skincare can feel really tight at the end of the day without additional drying. The eyeshadow looks really pretty as did the lip. The powder might be worth a try for me, if I can find a pale enough shade (white usually works lol). From what I can tell it is more pricy here (imported so that's fairly normal - you should see how much milani charges here ouch). Next time I see the stand in store I'll have a good look. Thanks for the review - saves me money as I know it won't work for me. Best wishes.
Wow I can't imagine paying a premium for Milani! I mean, they are fine, but.... drugstore fine! It's thanksgiving over the pond here so I will say I am thankful for you, Loraine! And Happy Thursday to you! 😂
I must say that I was impressed to see NOTHING smeared inside your mask! Not even blush. I think I’ll have to find that powder. Too bad about the foundation. Hope you and Mom have a great Thanksgiving! It’ll just be my husband, son and I tonight, but I went full-on. Leftovers are fine with us and we are now officially in “attached auxiliary refrigerator/freezer season” here in Minnesota. I know you know what that is being a Chicago gal. 😉
I didn't even think to notice that it did stay put pretty well! I bet the powder is partly responsible, as I've been wearing it with everything lately and come to think of it, I haven't had any makeup/mask issues.
I would think that wearing a mask would ruin the foundation as well. That's why I hate wearing make with makeup. Dries out my skin and takes most of my makeup off.
Maybe this stuff does better with a primer. I have a few light to medium foundations that perform quite a bit better than this one did. There’s no point in getting another one.
I am subscribed to your channel and your stuff never is in my newsfeed AND I am only subscribed to about 10 channels!! TH-cam wtf!!! Just wanted to let ya know!!!!!!
Thanks, Yvonne! I just saw that TH-cam un-subbed me from a channel I've been watching for literally 8 years! Their notification and subscription system leaves a bit to be desired. :-/
I’ve noticed that all my foundations are all different colors but they all match my skin I’m 41 almost 42 can someone explain why that happens,, I just want to say I’m getting in to make up as I get older I don’t know how it works 😂😂😂
Hi Pamela! Generally speaking, we can usually get away with a half shade or shade too dark or too light if the undertone is a decent match. And if you happen to be close to a neutral undertone, you can usually get away with a little bit warm and a little bit cool equally well. In my case, I'm neutral leaning a tiny bit cool, so I can get away with a pretty wide variety of variations. I prefer a pinky-beige foundation like the CYO LifeProof 101, but I can also pretty easily wear more peachy undertones like this one, or more pinky undertones. The only ones I don't like so much are yellow undertones on me - but if I self tan, my skin turns quite warm and then I can wear yellow undertones. If you're very strongly cool or warm or olive, you probably won't have as many workable options because that undertone is key. The closer to neutral you are, the more variations you can get away with and still look like a good match.
It looks like Flower is working on a big expansion into lifestyle products, so their remaining makeup is on the way out and they're revamping the brand (according to their home page message). I can't wait to see what they do next!
It makes me so happy!! Though by the time I go back to a salon, my stylist will probably tell me to chop off a few inches. 😂 It doesn't seem too bad though since I trimmed it. I didn't trim the layers but it seems to be surviving OK!
I’m so damn glad I found you! I’m only 24 so I don’t really have “mature” skin but that being said I am extremelyyyyy dry ! I also have the same skin tone as you so you’re literally my go to when it comes to foundations and their shades! Thank you for literally existing ❤️
Plus she’s extremely helpful! 🤓
Welcome, Kenz! Happy thanksgiving! Here's my master foundation list (ranked and searchable) - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
I totally agree, except that I’m only 3 years younger, so I definitely have mature skin, but our tones are right on and really really helps with foundation shades!!!! ❤️

I have a not-sensitive nose, too, so if I smelled it, it definitely has some scent to it! Happy thanksgiving, Bryn!
Did not expect this result. Thanks for post!
You look great in this stripe top! Love the eye look too. Thank you for talking about the fragrance component and putting foundations to the test. Masks don't help the staying power of very many foundations, no matter how cute and sparkly they are.
I got lucky I found it at Dollar Tree ❤
Score!!
You have such a calming voice omg
Missed Foundation Friday last week! Glad to see you back even if the foundation wasn't great. 👍❤
Thank you so very much for all the work u do on makeup products testing them out for all ur subscribers love S xxxxxxx
Yay I’m so excited to see your video pop up!! I tried the “slugging” method on your recommendation tonight! Can’t wait to start seeing results!
You'll literally wake up to results! It's so wild!
Darnit! I was happy to know that the Brand was here and accessible. Thanks for sharing!
This eye look is stunning with your hair color & skin!
Appreciate all your reviews, much love
Happy thanksgiving!!
Thank you for this review and you look lovely in the foundation regardless of its performance🌝👍🏼
Wow I never realized the true color of your eyes until you were outside in the sun. They are beautiful!!! Those taupe eyeshadows are stunning on you. I’m glad you reviewed this foundation because I was going to pick this up this weekend. Maybe it dried you out if it has lavender . Lavender can act as an astringent and irritant to skin.

Thanks, Mimi! Happy thanksgiving!!
Thank you for reviewing this. I was so happy to try this. Now I'm not so sure but the flower power I'm definitely getting.
Hi Shelly! I'm really excited about the powder! I'm not paying Charlotte Tilbury prices for powder! 😁 That was one royally disappointing foundation! You save me so much money! 💜💜💜💜
I do like that “lip Glaze “ on you - perfect color!
I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! 🍁🍂🍗🍠🍽🍹🦃
Happy thanksgiving, Jacqueline!!
I like this foundation for adding pigment drops to. Adds to the coverage.
Which pigment drops do you use?
Cover FX, or the No7 work well also.
I will try that! I have the No7 drops and love them. Thanks, Rebecca! Happy thanksgiving!
Great review! Ive given up on trying to find a decent hydrating foundation and just been putting a drop of CeraVe oil into my reg foundation :) it works.
I need to try that!!
Wow genius !!
You are the nail polish queen. Everytime I watch a video, I'm like... I need that nail polish!! And I'm not even into nail polish lol

Yay! I have been wanting to try flower beauty.
I love most of their makeup but I don't have super great luck with their foundations. :(
Oh I was hoping it would be a cheaper Kosas dupe. Darn. I really wanted you to love this as we have a similar skin type.
I love the plaid candles in the background. Glad you reviewed this foundation. I have been wanting to try it but I think I will save my money now. Happy Thanksgiving!

They sell through their web site too but of course it's always fun to see things in person first. They're at Ulta too but I think only online.

It will be turkey day brilliance!!!!!

Would lile to see this tutorial as well ...from you shelly

I find that a lot of serum foundations disappear, I think it is because if you have dry skin it just drinks up the serum and leaves behind a dehydrated looking film of pigment.

Shelley, is it normal for there to be such a difference in the product quality of a brand's complexion products? x
I’m so disappointed, too! I really wanted this to work for our 46 year old skin!😢 I may still try it since I like the dewy, light coverage, but I’m just not convinced it will work. Thank you for your reviews!💗💗
On the upside, it's not hard to find discounts at CVS so hopefully they'll run a promo soon and you can try it for less!

I’m so glad you tested this one! I tried it earlier this month and wanted to love it so much, but it was a return for me. Not enough coverage and didn’t wear well on me, either.
Have u tried anything from the new brand by Revolution? I was looking at some of it today in Boots and I’m intrigued, the packaging is soo pretty....please do a review, well if u haven’t already, I really can’t remember if u have or not 😂 I finished radiotherapy today woo hoo, it’s been a long 5 weeks, I’m so happy and relieved though....Happy Thanksgiving to u and everyone across the pond 😘 I wish I could try Flower Beauty but I don’t think we sell it here in the UK 😩
I tried the XX Revolution foundation and it was meh, which bummed me out. They've got a bunch of new skincare too that I have not tried. Congrats on concluding your therapy!! Bright days ahead!! 💜
@@goow I was looking at the primers and nearly got one but stopped myself as I have loads of makeup lol now it’s just a waiting game to see if treatment has worked, I won’t get a scan for another 8-12 weeks, radiotherapy is still doing its thing in my body for 6 weeks after treatment, hence why the long wait for a scan 💖
Drew Barrymore must have perfect skin, because all her foundations (I know of 3: Skincognito stick, Light Illusion, and this) have been light coverage. 🤔
Her skin does look like she's avoided the sun her whole life (and I am jealous!)
Great video! Can you recommend a foundation that doesn’t cling to dry patches? Bonus if it’s not overly dewy. Thank you!!
If you're avoiding dewy, I'd try Dior Backstage, Milk Flex stick, or CoverGirl TruBlend Matte Made. If satin-luminous is OK, MAC Face & Body or Dior Forever Skin Glow. I also recommend Kosas Tinted Face Oil for dry patches but it's quite dewy.
Thank you so so much!! I like luminous but unfortunately I have oily skin so I can’t do anything too dewy/luminous. I’m using tretinoin so I do get some dryness. I love your videos and really appreciate you!
I got a Flower Beauty powder a while ago. (Miracle Glow loose powder) It is nice. But the quantity in the container is very little. I don't remember the details now, but price per ounce it's comparable to many higher priced powders....check! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ooooh I will check! Comparing it only to the Charlotte Tilbury, the CT is 0.28 oz and the Flower is .3 oz. I'd be curious to see how much is in it compared to other drugstore options. I don't have any handy to look!
Can we get a link to that lava lamp? It’s hypnotizing! Lol
Yes! I got it at Home Depot, and some stores still have it in stock in person too - go.magik.ly/ml/13127/
Well, with lavender in it, it’s not fragrance free, so not an option for me. Ironically, synthetic fragrance is usually less irritating to the skin. Botanicals tend to be more irritating. However, I love the regular Flower Beauty foundation, although I see you hated it! But I have slightly oily skin. I hope it’s not going anywhere. I’ll have to try the Flower Beauty powder!
My guess is they'll keep both foundations since this one is a much lighter coverage. Of course brands' product decisions never make sense to me so I might be thinking too logically 😂
@@goow Good point lol.
Hi Shelley - oh dear it wasn't that great was it? Flower beauty fairly recently came to the UK (Superdrug stocks it in larger stores and online), but it's a more capsule collection ie not a ton of products. A brand review of hits and misses might be a good video? I will give the foundation a miss though after seeing it dehydrate you, my severely dry skin would hate it. I don't have a lot of flaky skin, but even with layers (and layers) of skincare can feel really tight at the end of the day without additional drying. The eyeshadow looks really pretty as did the lip. The powder might be worth a try for me, if I can find a pale enough shade (white usually works lol). From what I can tell it is more pricy here (imported so that's fairly normal - you should see how much milani charges here ouch). Next time I see the stand in store I'll have a good look. Thanks for the review - saves me money as I know it won't work for me. Best wishes.
Wow I can't imagine paying a premium for Milani! I mean, they are fine, but.... drugstore fine! It's thanksgiving over the pond here so I will say I am thankful for you, Loraine! And Happy Thursday to you! 😂
@@goow Thanks Shelley that's really nice. Happy thanksgiving to you and all the US viewers.xoxo
There is lavender in that foundation which is where you’re getting the scent from.
I must say that I was impressed to see NOTHING smeared inside your mask! Not even blush. I think I’ll have to find that powder. Too bad about the foundation.
Hope you and Mom have a great Thanksgiving! It’ll just be my husband, son and I tonight, but I went full-on. Leftovers are fine with us and we are now officially in “attached auxiliary refrigerator/freezer season” here in Minnesota. I know you know what that is being a Chicago gal. 😉
I didn't even think to notice that it did stay put pretty well! I bet the powder is partly responsible, as I've been wearing it with everything lately and come to think of it, I haven't had any makeup/mask issues.
Sorry this one was a let down. Your hair color and eye makeup look great though!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving!!!
Have u tried the Catrice True Skin Hydrating foundation?
Yay or nay?
Nay - and a hard pass at that, sadly. The Catrice wasn't hydrating on me at all :( th-cam.com/video/--Y_sub7amk/w-d-xo.html
I would think that wearing a mask would ruin the foundation as well. That's why I hate wearing make with makeup. Dries out my skin and takes most of my makeup off.
Oh no im sad too because i love drew Barrymore too
You are so amazing
.... But the eyeshadow is 💣
Can u please suggest me for this foundation.... because my age is 27years...I can apply on my face....
Hi Jyoti! Yes I think this would probably work even better for you!
I got dissapointed the minute you said "natural" and "light". I like foundations medium to full.🙋♀️🤷♀️
I'm a medium coverage fan myself! This one did not get there.
Too dewy for me. I do like the light weight, though I had to apply 3 times. It’s a no for me. 😢
Maybe this stuff does better with a primer. I have a few light to medium foundations that perform quite a bit better than this one did. There’s no point in getting another one.
I am subscribed to your channel and your stuff never is in my newsfeed AND I am only subscribed to about 10 channels!! TH-cam wtf!!! Just wanted to let ya know!!!!!!
Btw loving your hair!!!
Thanks, Yvonne! I just saw that TH-cam un-subbed me from a channel I've been watching for literally 8 years! Their notification and subscription system leaves a bit to be desired. :-/
I’ve noticed that all my foundations are all different colors but they all match my skin I’m 41 almost 42 can someone explain why that happens,, I just want to say I’m getting in to make up as I get older I don’t know how it works 😂😂😂
Hi Pamela! Generally speaking, we can usually get away with a half shade or shade too dark or too light if the undertone is a decent match. And if you happen to be close to a neutral undertone, you can usually get away with a little bit warm and a little bit cool equally well. In my case, I'm neutral leaning a tiny bit cool, so I can get away with a pretty wide variety of variations. I prefer a pinky-beige foundation like the CYO LifeProof 101, but I can also pretty easily wear more peachy undertones like this one, or more pinky undertones. The only ones I don't like so much are yellow undertones on me - but if I self tan, my skin turns quite warm and then I can wear yellow undertones. If you're very strongly cool or warm or olive, you probably won't have as many workable options because that undertone is key. The closer to neutral you are, the more variations you can get away with and still look like a good match.
It's at dollar tree lol
It looks like Flower is working on a big expansion into lifestyle products, so their remaining makeup is on the way out and they're revamping the brand (according to their home page message). I can't wait to see what they do next!
@@goow Ooo great information. Thanks!
Your hair is getting so long! Holy cow.
It makes me so happy!! Though by the time I go back to a salon, my stylist will probably tell me to chop off a few inches. 😂 It doesn't seem too bad though since I trimmed it. I didn't trim the layers but it seems to be surviving OK!
I seem to be in the minority but - omg - the smell of lavender makes me gag! Good to know that I won't ever consider this foundation.
Ooooh yeah I'm pretty sure you would smell it. It's not subtle.
Glad I didn’t get it
