Yesterday was Flower Beauty's Lip Service Lip Butter. Today it's the Stick Foundation and BB Cream.
One of the exciting finds was that they have a stick foundation. I love stick foundations and they can be hard to find.
One of my holy grail
foundations used to be L'Oreal Quick Stick. Man, that was good and I stockpiled
when they dc'd it. Of course in the intervening years I've found many more
great foundations but not many sticks. And can I say how much I miss Max
Factor's Pan Stick ? But I have a supply of that too.
There are a few out there , Tom Ford makes an amazing one, but at $ 78 it's not within easy reach . Bobbi Brown's is great and a bit better priced.
As far as I know, though, there are no mass markets ones out there . Until now.
Flower's stick foundation offers medium, buildable coverage. It has a soft feel on skin but is also feels emollient. Due to the oil ingredients that make it emollient, it unfortunately won't work for my skin. Ingredients include corn , cottonseed and castor oils as well as shea butter.
However, it is nice and if you have normal to dry skin then it might work for you. Sticks like these make great take alongs for easy touch ups in addition to all over use.
The BB Cream is a nice addition to the BB scene as it gives good coverage, something often missing in drugstore brands. It covers flaws, evens tone and is lightly moisturizing but not heavy . It is missing SPF but other than that performs as well as some of my higher end brands.
Bonus points too, for the upmarket looking packaging on the BB.
My shade is BB2 in the BB Cream( $ 12.98) , SF2 in the Foundation( $ 6.98).
