So this is the third and final item I purchased from the Drew Barrymore Flower cosmetics line. I already reviewed Haute Honeysuckle and Wispy Wisteria lip butters and the Peach Blossom cream blush from the line. Today we’ll take a look at the Flower Ready, Set, Glow! Blush/Bronzer Duo ($9.98) in the shade Shimmering Goddess.
These duos come in your choice of 4 different colors combinations. In each duo there is a different shade of blush and bronzer. I picked Shimmering Goddess because I liked the blush color the most and the bronzer didn’t look too dark for my fair skin.

Physicians Formula must have had someone just like myself in mind when they designed this Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Illuminating Bronzing Veil ($13.95). I was immediately drawn to the adorable tiny hearts and couldn’t not buy it! As you can see, this bronzing powder is formed in the shape of small light bronze and golden colored hearts.
To apply the product you simply swirl your brush over the hearts to collect a nice dusting of powder. The plastic packaging itself is pretty large so I was a little disappointed by how few hearts there actually are inside. There are only about 18 hearts in the entire thing. Most of the inside of the compact is taken up by a large pink powder puff and a brush.

New from Tarte, and only available at QVC right now, is this Amazonian Clay Cream to Powder Bronzer ($34.56). This bronzer comes in one shade, Globe Trekker. The color is about the same shade as Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess powder bronzer. The difference is that this bronzer is packaged as a cream and comes with a nice dense, fluffy brush to apply it with.
The packaging of this cream bronzer is beautiful! It comes in a flat plastic pot with a screw top lid. The lid is a shiny bronze color with Tarte’s usual Amazonian Clay design on top. The pot is a generous size at about 2 ¾” wide. You get 0.7 oz of bronzer as compared to 0.32 oz for the Park Ave powder bronzer.

It’s time for June’s Birchbox! This month was pretty darn good. I liked the scent of both the soap and the perfume. And I was super excited to see two makeup samples this month!
Here’s what I got in this month’s box:
Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Fragrance – Smells really nice. Initially when I first sprayed it, it smelled like straight up rubbing alcohol. I thought it was a fluke but nope, it does that each time I spray it. Weird. It quickly dissipates though and leaves a very soft, clean scent behind.
Borghese Crema Saponetta Mini Cleansing Bar – Smells really fresh and clean.
theBalm Stainiac Lip Stain in Beauty Queen – I already own the full size of this and really like it. I snagged it in a theBalm lip gloss set at TJ Maxx around last Christmas. It gives your lips and cheeks a flush of pink color.
Ada Cosmetics Mineral Powder Peach Bronzer – Not sure how I feel about this. It has a lot of sheen to it and is quite golden orange. I’ll give it a try but I may just use it as a blush instead.
Bonus Extra:
Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids – A box of 20 assorted Band-Aids with fun, feminine designs on them. Cute!
