Is it blooming lovely? Looking at the Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette, by Flower Beauty...

Actress Drew Barrymore's cosmetics line - Flower Beauty - has recently launched in the UK, after me being unsuccessful in tracking it down during past holidays in America, meaning that I was itching to throw money at them the instant that Superdrug began to stock their products a few months ago.

So; has my first Flower Beauty product been worth the wait? Has it become too built up in my  mind to live up to?

Is bigger better? Exploring the Revolution x Rachel Leary Ultimate Goddess eye & face palette...

Today we're going to delve into the second palette in the Revolution x Rachel Leary collaboration, which has more of everything; more bronze options, more highlight picks, a choice in blush finishes and a wider variety of eyeshadow colour families. But is bigger really better?

As already mentioned in my review for the first half of this collection; I've already criticized Revolution themselves, I've had this palette since May and I'm not familiar with the 'influencer' whose name is on the palette  - so yeah, I've had plenty of time to test the products repeatedly and I don't feel any loyalty to either the brand or the collaborator to say I like the products if I don't... 

Ready to dive into today's photo-heavy review?

Keepin' it moving: the Revolution x Rachel Leary Goddess On The Go eye & face palette...

Revolution's 2019 collaboration season has really heated up now and I have one of the newer pieces to show of today - it was the newest release when I bought it, started using it and started my notes about my experiences with it, but now there's a 3-piece collection from Roxxsaurus [plus they're hinting at a upcoming release - a collab with Makeupbyjaack is my guess for it, as he's hinting at a upcoming project]... 

Anyway, back to today's subject; I've been testing the Goddess On The Go eye & face palette since it launched at the end of May and now feel able to offer a valid opinion on it. 

As per usual, I hadn't heard of the person Revolution collaborated with; no offence to the collaborators, I'm just too old and untrendy for all this social media and it's 'influencers'.

When buying shampoo last week, I saw that I could pick up a multi-use product by my favourite 'drugstore' brand, whilst simultaneously donating to a charity supporting cancer-patients.

No-brainer = I'll have a piece of that...

Sold. 

That product description is so awesome that after a look in several nearby Boots stores on a unsuccessful search for Fenty Beauty stands, I went to Harvey Nichols to get myself shade-matched, already sure that I'd buy and love the bronzer.

How has my experience been?
