Everything's Coming Up Roses

L'Oreal Colour Riche has launched the very sweet,
tantalizing Color me Pink Collection.
Get it while it's hot girls, and do I mean mean sweltering.
Summer is here in full swing.
Pink looks refreshing on any skin tone, an instant breezy pick me up.

Colour Riche Lipstick  Color Me Pink Collection is bright, bold and beautiful. The hydrating, creamy, rich hues are spot on for summer.
I Pink You're Cute, a bubble gum pink compliments blond maidens and fair skin tones. Fresh as a Rose with shimmery hints of red and coral screams blushing bride. I love to use a bold shade on the lip, keeping the face and eyes bare.

"In addition to nourishing ingredients like Omega 3 and Vitamin E, the formula is enriched with Argan Oil to condition and soften lips."




Voluminous Million Lashes in Blackest Black adds maximum volume lashes without messy clumps. Super size million dollar brush. Intensify and accentuate those gorgeous eyes.








I had to step out in 90 degree heat to show off the sublime Color Me Pink Collection Colour Riche le Gloss. The super-hydrating, sheen texture, a girl can't help but get excited. Berry Chic, Rosy Demeanor and Pucker Up Pink's delicate specks of shimmer sunshine brighten the lip and your mood instantly. Pick up one, two or three Color Me Pink shades.

"Colour Riche^® Le Gloss is infused with ultra-hydrating Omega 3, protective Vitamin E, and Argan Oil for our richest shine experience yet."

FuNbOw CoLoR

Vacation over, office blahs got you down? 

Hard Candy brightens the mood with a fuNbOw of trend- setting nail color.

Candy Sprinkles reminds me of '66 Convertibles and Drive Ins under the stars. Cotton candy, corn dogs, twist ice-cream with sprinkles on top. Cowboy boots, brass buckles, colored lights and the latest act on the big stage. Yeehaw, the Carnival's back in town. Shades like pixie pink, gummy green, sugar rush in bubbly, delicate pastel shades both chic & fun. Candy Sprinkles celebrates the tween, all grown up.

Crushed Chromes puts the metal to the petal in dazzling, bright chrome shades. Crush on Caribbean teal with micro specks of green glitter brings the ocean to your fingertips and toes smack dab in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Crystal Confetti puts the P in pizazz. Wear the funky shades alone or as a topcoat over Crushed Chrome for the ultimate finishing touch curtain call. With names like fireworks, hip hip hooray, jubilee you can't help but burst into song. The color range is spectacular from green apple to vibrant purple, red & blue, silver and black ice.

Glitteratzi Stand out from the crowd. Dare to be an original. Fire flash, glitter jam, party lights, pixie dust glitter looks fresh and hipster chic. Shades of rose, speckled white, burnt orange and mermaid magic make a statement. Nails always look camera ready.

 

Itzy Glitz 

Neon nails scream take me back to the '80s. The nostalgia, the electricity, the trailblazing days of Madonna, plastic bangles and neon green fishnet stockings. Only the very bold will go there. I loVe the Itzy Glitz collection. Neon yellow, pink, green and blue. I can't paint my toes fast enough. There's a pretty subtle shade of salmon if you want to take it down a notch. Perhaps paint only your ring finger or toe with a pop of neon color. Go ahead and celebrate life. Embrace the artist that lives in you.

Back to Nature

Gerovital Plant Essential Moisturizing Cream light formula smooths and
rejuvenates the face. The superior hydrating Plant FORTE Moisturizing Cream is enriched with Phytoceramides to help protect and renew.

Beautiful You

When it comes to make-up I'm jaded, I admit it. I've spent a good portion of my life in the chair, and on the opposite side painting faces. I'm lucky, been exposed to high-end, medium and affordable brands. FLOWER, affordable quality beauty with a conscience got me. I was curious. Clean, functional makeup made available. Works for me. Throw in the forever bubbly, sunny Drew Barrymore as an owner, instant deal-breaker. "All products are proudly Made in the USA and are never tested on animals." Double deal-breaker. Diane Sawyer and David Muir could use FLOWER on ABC, "Made in America Series." Beauty and a do good Celebrity, makes a great story.





Let's talk about the rich floral palette of products.

Powder Trip Powder Foundation. The packaging is so darn pretty, and functional. Powder brushes on smooth, seamless. Feels light and airy on the skin, ideal for lightto medium coverage. Powder Trip contains Vitamins C and E, nourishing skin and slowing down the aging process. Powder Trip is Fragrance-free, Paraben-free & Talc-free. 








Shadow Play Eyeshadow Quad in Foxy Browns
Browns can be worn smoldering sexy, or subtle. Foxy Browns mashes it up. Eyeshadow Quad doesn't skimp on pigment, keeps eye look options wide open. Shimmery taupe, shimmery bronze, dark brown matte and shimmery pale pink dress the eyes, down or up. 







Be sure to check out Petites Fleurs 
Pocket Triplets.
Pocket size glamour.
Three bullets of creamy eye color for hip girls on the go.













Sheer Up 
The high-gloss Lip Tint glides on smooth and stays.
The sheer balm comes in five juicy shades, Bare Blush, Sheer Blossom, Dewy Rose, Lacy Laurel and Airy Orchid.
From pale taupe to pastel pink to red, there's a shade for everyone. I'm digging Airy Orchid, a ruby color that matches the lip adds shine and mystery. Sheer Up has no taste, gotta love that! Applies with one precision swipe in a jumbo crayon. Can't find a big sharpener? This beauty comes with it's own built in retractable twist up. Neat product and efficient packaging.







Available at Walmart, FLOWER is affordable chic beauty. 

"How do we do it? We do not pay for advertising. Where other beauty brands spend a vast percentage of the cost of their products on ads, we do not. Drew, as an owner of the brand, takes pride in promoting Flower, which in turn allows us to put all of our resources into the formulas and packaging, and not into advertising.

Custom-formulated with the same ingredients used in luxury make-up, our exclusive botanical-infused Soft-Focus Complex illuminates for a lit-from-within effect."
