Review: FLOWER by Drew Barrymore Lipsticks

FLOWER Kiss Stick High-Shine Lip Color, FLOWER Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color, FLOWER Lip Service Lip Butter
I was in Wal-Mart the other day when I noticed a new brand of drugstore makeup -- FLOWER by Drew Barrymore. I was instantly drawn to the clean, pretty packaging (as well as the lovely Drew Barrymore) and knew I needed to give it a try. I decided to try out three different lip products.

High-Shine Lip Color, Velvet Lip Color, Lip Butter (Top to Bottom)
Quick Thoughts:

FLOWER Kiss Stick High-Shine Lip Color: Formula is very creamy and glides easily onto lips. Feels quite hydrating and is very pigmented. Slight chemically scent.

FLOWER Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color: Formula is creamy and almost-matte. It's a bit sheerer than the High-Shine stick. Little to no scent that I could detect.

FLOWER Lip Service Lip Butter: Compatible to Revlon Lip Butters, but I think they have more pigmentation honestly. It is on the same opaque scale as the Velvet lipsticks. Little to no scent that I could detect.

Pros:
  • Inexpensive and readily available at Wal-Mart stores.
  • Not tested on animals.
  • Great formulas and good color ranges especially for a new brand.
  • The packaging is very pretty and looks high end.
Cons:
  • Though the packaging allows you to see the color of the lipstick, they are not named (or the names are on the plastic to be thrown away).
  • The lip butter packaging is kind of awkward.
  • The High-Shine lip color smells a bit chemically to me.
All and all, I will probably purchase more items from this brand to test out. Have you heard of this brand or tried any products? Are you interested in me reviewing any of their other products?

  1. I was hoping these would be available the last time I went to Walmart, but I didn't see them. I'm glad to hear good things. I'll have to look for them again!

  2. Love the color & texture absolutely hate the smell & taste. Like a floral gone bad, rancid old cosmetic smell.
