Every once in awhile my fiancé will overhear my beauty RUclips videos and normally makes fun of everyone for using the same descriptive words like pigmented and buttery. The other day he overheard me watching your 10 things I’d buy if I lost my makeup and said “I like her! She sounds like she knows what she’s talking about!” 😂 I guess that’s a huge compliment!
My husband always watches Emily with me, he says she is the best out of all the others that I watch. Hahaha...so there you go, you have a heterosexual male following as well.
Been with ya for a decade now and will eternally love your calm demeanor and your critical evaluation of products that far surpasses the "guys it's so pretty, BUY it!!". These Saturday uploads have absolutely been part of my little Saturday morning reprieve from my studies/ work and I look so forward to it every week.
I'm so glad that you mentioned Santa Clarita diet. That show is hilarious and it's such wonderful dark humor. I feel like TV has been missing a show like this for a while.
Can we just acknowledge the devotion to subscribers here? Before she even puts the foundation on she's like "this really doesn't work for me" but she still puts it on. She knows she is going to have a bad makeup day but is still going to do it for us. And this isn't just someone who is putting on their makeup for the day. She enjoys makeup and the experience so much she has made a career of it but for us to see how it applies, she is still just going to suck it up and have a bad makeup day, when you know she has a dozen other products she'd rather be wearing.
Santa Clarita Diet is awesome!! Tim is my favorite! Just some of the lines he says and his facial expressions to go with are hilarious! This show wasn’t something I thought I’d be interested in but watched both seasons and now I want more! You’re amazing as always em!
Denise Bonfilio Tim is ...... shew! I dont even have words for him, especially in justified! I agree if anyone likes him in this show they need to watch justified!
I didn't think I'd like that show either, I started watching it cuz I couldn't find anything else and I LOVE IT! I watch every episode one after another, then watched it again and was so sad there wasn't more....... and Timothy olyphant (I may be spelling that wrong) but he is awesome in everything I've ever seen him in. Such a handsome handsome man! ...... na hes more than handsome, hes sexy!
Alessandra watch the first 4 episodes. If you’re not hooked, then at least you’ll know ... but I’ll bet you a Makeup Revolution palette that you’ll be hooked. 🤓
The reason the Flower FINISHING powder isn’t working for under the eye and setting the face is because it’s NOT a setting powder! As the name states it’s a finishing powder, they are two totally different products. Finishing powders are the last step used to lightly brush over the face to help blend and blur everything together. I think a lot of people just think they are all the same thing and they are not. The hourglass powders are finishing powders each intended to give a specific defused look depending on what you want.
AND, I always really enjoy your one brand, full face reviews! It really shows us a ton of products and how they apply. Keep these kinds of videos coming 🙂
Becki Tankson yes, i wasn't sure if i would like it, but i love the actors, turns out i love this show!!!! I wish they would make more than 12 episodes a season because I'm so sad i need them to put the 3rd season already
Thank you~ So many people rave about the Flower Beauty Foundation and that its long lasting but on me it lasts about 3-4 hours. It just starts fading. Love waking up on Saturday morning, drinking my coffee and watching your videos.
It's weird because I just commented above because this foundation lasts all day on me. I've been loving it. I also REALLY love the Physician's formula the healthy foundation lately. I think I may like that one even more than the light illusion foundation, if you haven't tried it.
I've seen a lot of beauty RUclipsrs do videos on Flower Beauty lately, but I don't mind at all. It's so nice to see different opinions on the same products! Especially since products wear differently on different skin types. Thanks for sharing your always refreshing take, Emily!
I have super dry skin and the light illusion Foundation is my new absolute favorite Foundation. I can use it through a 12 hour work day and most of it hangs around ny the 12 hour mark and I am a big "face toucher", bad I know! I use Belif True Tincture Essence which makes Anything stick to my skin. Then Cerave regular daily moisturizer (the one that doesnt specify whether it's a body or face moisturizer). Nothing beats the way the foundation looks on my skin which is dry textured hyperpigmentation. And it layers beautifully !! My biggest complaint is the shade range and dry down color.
I love that for almost every single product you review, you gives both pros and cons. It keeps it realistic. You also always take into account how it might work on someone with different needs than your own.
I love that foundation. I wear it everyday for work! The finish is so beautiful and natural. I just use a pore filler primer and setting spray. Helps with the staying power.
I have to admit, when I 1st saw Flower Beauty a few yrs ago, I wasn’t the least bit inspired by the brand. However over the last 6 mos or so, I did decide to (very selectively) try a couple of products & even though I like what I’ve tried, I’m still not terribly inspired by the brand 😊💚 But this review was awesome & fun as ALWAYS!
I am so so in love with that foundation. It is pretty dewy. I have a normal to dry combination skin type. I didn't have to use primer with this and it works just fine without. I use it with either brush or sponge. I do set it with powder and i like using coty airspun or mac translucent powder. It is so lightweight and just beautiful on the skin. I dont need a lot of coverage and if i do i just put a little extra layer targeting the area in need. It wears really well on me too. Just love it so much.
You are my absolute favorite beauty blogger! You are very real. I don't feel like I'm watching someone who does looks that I could never replicate, or would not want to replicate. And your tutorials are very easy to follow with your detailed explanation. And, like many youtubers, you often your mascara or lashes off camera. And, no big deal. But, when you come back, that is all you have done. I've noticed when others come back, they now have lip liner or highlights on that they didn't have on before and they don't mention these changes. I think, no wonder I don't get a similar look. You are not afraid to use drugstore brands. In fact, you promote the ones that work. ex. Wet 'n Wild white waterline liner. But, mostly, you go into such detail with each product. You talk about not just how they wear, but how they smell, the texture, everything. I just wanted you to know that you are much appreciated and admired for not just your work, but all the effort and class you show on your channel. Thank you Emily! 💛💄💎👍
I love this sponge! To me it feels the closest dupe to the beauty blender in texture and bounce. I do agree with not fitting in smaller pictures of the face but then I just pitched the top part of it and it works fine for me. I actually like the fact that it's a bigger sponge in my hand just makes blending my Foundation out faster.
You always make applying makeup so easy 😊Thank you for sharing with us! Cant wait to watch you hit 1 million 😃your are almost there Emily 💕 Have a great weekend!
I love the light illusion foundation! It’s very long lasting on me. I can get through an entire work day (10 hrs) and it’s still on my nose which is rare bc I’m always rubbing it! I have super dry skin and it just makes my skin look so healthy! I usually use cerave lotion and Becca backlight primer and have had zero issues.
I had the same issue at first with the foundation! The way that works best for me is priming with the Glam Glow matte glow moisturizer and using the lightest layer possible!
Speaking of the Anastasia highlighter palettes, Macy's has them on sale this weekend, free shipping. I ordered the sugar glow kit, thanks for the review and recommendation.
My Saturday mornings always start with a dose of Emily. I look forward to your video every Saturday morning. Just love you, the family, and your videos.
Oh my god, Santa Clarita is fantastic! I love the dark, almost off the cuff humor of that show and the two of them are great in it- "and on Tuesday she killed a chicken!" 😂😂😂 Love you, and your content, and now I just love you even more!!!!!
thewolfisawake honestly I don't think I slept through the night for my daughters first 3 years because I was terrified of something happening to her. We as parents all need to stick together in our sleeplessness. LOL much love to you
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who would prefer a good mountain dew over a cup of coffee. lol I know it is bad, but I don't crave coffee in the mornings like I do the burn of a good mountain dew. lol
Marlena K goodness knows the past three years I haven’t slept haha. I lost my hearing when he was about three months old and that made the insomnia EVEN WORSE!!
They actually showed it cosmetics in an episode in season 2 like... Went out of their way to show it and I was surprised they didn't feature flower beauty.
Sammie Schmall I've noticed makeup companies being shown in shows too... like making the brand name stand out in a really quick shot. One show I really notice it is Riverdale.
If it has Timothy Olephant in it, I'm there! Justify is an amazing series, but he was what really made the show memorable for me. I'm definitely going to be watching Santa Clarita Diet now!
Sandy Rogers I agree. Im definitely not into the "surface", topic matter, but to me, the show is really about the family dynamic. Pure satire, the one liners are just pure comedy. Drew & Timothy Oliphant... just awesome. If you can see past the grossness, it's worth it! 🙌
Samantha Jane I don't think you'll be able to find it unfortunately. I hit up a lot of Walmarts while I'm in Canada and I've never seen it in any province. But I'm jealous that I still find NYC which is no longer in the states.
They stopped selling at WalMart Canada a couple years ago☹ It was pretty hush hush, after weeks of the displays being dumped into clearance bins, one response to a comment on the Flower Beauty Facebook page confirmed what was happening.
I live in the US and can’t find Flower Beauty anywhere here. Not Ulta not Walmart either... I know my Walmart used to carry it a few years ago. They haven’t picked it back up yet though.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. Trying all these products and wearing them to see lasting power has to take a decent chunk of time. I so prefer this to a "First Impressions" type video (which seems to be the most popular now), because you really give an honest impression until you have worn it all day and in different circumstances. I really appreciate your videos because there are SO many new products being launched at a time it can be overwhelming to decipher the good from the bad. And you are honest, which is also hard to come by these days, what with influencers who are whisked away to a tropical paradise in exchange for a positive review. Thanks, Emily, for all the times you have saved me money and all the times you have steered me towards a new holy grail.
Good morning Emily. Happy Saturday! Thank you for this video. I always trust your opinion on products. Most of my collection is from your recommendations. They always work great for me. Love you. Have a great weekend XO
totally something I would do except that I'm not pregnant. If I ever get pregnant, I feed bad for my husband because my cravings are all over the place all the time anyway...lolol
I love the foundation. I have very dry skin. I just use my cerave moisturizer and Beccas back light primer. It lasts all day on me and looks so fresh and nice on my face. Thataylaa actually ranked it number 1 on her 15 days of foundation!!
Saturday mornings with Emily are the best! I'd recommend trying the highlighters in the shimmer & strobe highlighting palette or the lift & sculpt contouring palette! They're a bit powdery, but they're good quality & a little goes a long way. Also, if you're looking for a new sponge to love, the pink LA Girl sponge is very comparable to the beauty blender, but shaped like the real techniques sponge! I think you'd like it more than your nyx sponge!
I like some of the flower beauty items... but honestly have learning more toward Milani lately... live the newer palettes they came out with! Thanks for all your time and honest feedback! It is so helpful for people like me, who have so little experience with makeup. 💜💜💜
Their original 3-pan rectangular highlighter palette that comes with a (kinda ridiculous) brush, is the BEST. My 5 favorite highlighters of ALL time are the Anastasia Sugar glow kit, the new Hourglass highlighter palette, Becca Champagne Pop, the Amrezy one, & THAT Flower Beauty highlighter palette...no joke! In fact, before I got the Hourglass highlighter palette, the Flower was probably my absolute favorite. I love to wear all three tones (light champagne, slightly pink, & pale gold) individually or mixed together. Until that Hourglass palette came around (which has VERY similar tones), it was also ALWAYS the highlighter I chose for all special occasions...it's THAT good.😉 Please give it a go, as I REALLY feel you'd love it too.💕
I also recently tried the Flower Beauty Blush in Sweet Pea and have fallen in love with it, such a great drugstore blush. I also have the same powder problem with the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose powder, it flies around and I end up inhaling it and coughing. Trying to use is up to get it out of my collection for that very reason. Hugs, Melissa
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the foundation and mascara! It just works for me. The foundation gives me a beautiful glow and the mascara makes me look like I have massive eyelashes and the applicator is so easy to use.
Emily, thank you for always being so truthful! I purchased the eye shadow palette and foundation due to all of the raves from other RUclipsrs! Both were fails for me for all of the reasons you mentioned. A waste of time and money. Thank goodness it wasn’t high end. I can always count on you to be honest and truthful! One of the many things I love about you! 💕
We just had Flower beauty become available in Australia and before I shop .. I came straight to your channel and bam .. here it is !! You are a godsend !
Thanks Emily! I’ve been wondering about this line. I tried it a few years ago when it was in Walmart and didn’t love it but was thinking about trying it again. Always trust your opinion above anyone else’s so I was glad to see this video.
Love love love your honest review...I have had some flower products in my Ulta cart for a while and not sure if I wanted to commit but now I will. And yes to Timothy in justified...I was like a lost puppy when that show was over..so glad he’s back and love him with Drew! 💚
Glad to know the foundation is dewy. I'm 43 and have very oily skin. Foundations are hard for me because of that. The only foundation that has truly worked for me is the revlon colorstay foundation and powder. You said you like your foundation to have staying power and revlon colorstay does. It will not move until you take it off. Try it if you haven't all ready. Just found you today. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Have a wonderful day.
Good morning Emily and makeuplovers! Hope you all have a great Saturday. Emily, after watching I have a video request. Can you make a video where you go through brushes and talk about their shapes and the different ways you can use them. I have brushes I bought for specific purposes (after watching YT videos), but I have a ton of brushes that came in sets,but I have no idea how or where to use them. Thank you! I’ve always wanted to try a Flower beauty, but the Walmart closest to us did not carry it, so I’m happy that Ulta is now carrying it. This vid is very helpful as I was unsure what to try, but I trust Emily’s opinion!
Happy Saturday Emily! So happy you did a review on Flower products. I’ve heard so many good and bad things about the foundation and sponge. I always go with your opinion. Thanks for saving me some cash!
The original flower highlighter palette is amazing!! The new one isn’t great, but they work really well as eyeshadows/inner corner highlighters. I also use the sponge for powder, doesn’t work for me with foundation. I just recently got one of their bullet lipsticks and it was really nice. Great video!
I know that the shadows aren't as good as you would have liked but I love this look you're rockin'! Of course, I'm so fair (my shade is transparent haha) that warm tones don't look right on me so I love cool tones...and, I too, have been watching you since your apartment days!! I love your videos and look forward to them! Oh and btw...cats dream about what they can destroy next when you're gone!!
Yay!!! Flower is my absolute favorite and I have pretty much every item you used. I was so glad to see it all in play! I highly recommend their other highlighter palette, Shimmer and Strobe. Love your videos Emily, watching them is the highlight 😁 of my day!
I LOVE Santa Clarita Diet! I laughed so hard when I saw the “Nervous Neighbor” painting as they panned through the collection of artistic expressions of her obsessive investigating. It’s a show you gotta watch a couple times to catch all of the quips you missed the 1st time while laughing too hard. Anyhoo, thank you for this review. I feel I can trust yours more than some I’ve seen. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
The highlighter in her Lift & Sculpt Contouring Pallet that has a bronzer and a dusty pink blush in the middle and a golden highlight is outstanding! I even wear it to work. It is the perfect consistency and I love the bronzer because it's cooler and you can slightly contour with it, blush is beautiful. Highly recommend. I totally agree that the sponge is just too large, but it is the closest texture to the Beauty Blender in my opinion. I think I have tried them all. Haha. Wish there was a way to cut it down to perfect size. Thanks Emily, you are super amazing!
Try the lift and sculpt contouring palette as well as the shimmer and shine highlighting palette! Both have amazing products and I think you’d be impressed the highlight and bronzer specifically!!
Thank you for a great video, as usual! The one thing I also recommend is the Lash Warrior mascara. I'm a mascara addict, and that blew me away!! I'm not reaching for anything else, which never happens. Thank you for being yourself; you're one of the few RUclipsrs that I feel has been and continues to be yourself. ❤️❤️❤️ And, PS, YES Santa Clarita Diet! Love love love!
Emily, thanks for this review. I really like the highlighting trio. It has more traditional shades, and it looks glossy on the skin. Almost a wet look. I’ve kind of stopped picking up flower beauty products, because they are no longer being sold at my local Walmart, but an Ulta is about to open doors in town next month. I’ll have to re-check some of their products again.
Hey Emily!! Happy Saturday!! I really enjoy your content, anything you put out I'll watch! I haven't tried anything from Flower Beauty than the sponge, which I love how soft it is. I want to try their lip products and setting sprays!! Keep up the amazingness! I really appreciate all you do to bring us such detailed reviews and information, I just wanted to let you know! Have an amazing weekend! Love from Chicago!
I also have the translucent powder and I like how finely milled it is but it does seem to go everywhere and I've just not had the best of luck with it . This is what I get when I comment before wacthing the whole video 🤣🤣 Love the blushes I think mine is tea rose. Also love Timothy Olyphant loved him in Deadwood!!
Stevie's Girl if you like a very good finely milled powder It Cosmetics has a fabulous one called bye bye pores. They always have sales going on their website. It comes in a little tiny jar but it's almost like water it's so fine and I find that I have to use so little in order to get outstanding results. Just a suggestion :-)
Emily I am so glad you review the brand I’ve been waiting for this day. I really trust you when it come to products review ❤️. You are such and honest person and beautiful 😍💕
I loveeeeee the flower beauty sponge. I honestly love it more than the real techniques and the beauty blender. It is so soft and applies foundation beautifully. It's way softer than the real techniques and beauty blender in my opinion. I highly recommend
I have the same flower eye shadow palette and I LOVE that far right purple shimmer. It’s by far one of my favorite eye shadows I’ve ever come across. It’s a great transformer color on top of other shades.
I Love the Santa Clarita Diet! And as someone who lives in Santa Clarita, it's got an entire other level of jokes. When they talk about the town...totally accurate (well, mostly accurate - haha)
Lisa J here on RUclips described the tone and light concealer idea so well for me- it’s like putting white pantyhose over a bruise. You can still see it, it’s just a little less dark, but certainly not covered at all. The pantyhose visual did it for me. 😊 I get it now. Lol.
I love watching your videos Emily! Been watching for almost 7 years now but haven't really commented much but I'm working on changing that. Keep it up supermom! 💖💖💖
I'm obsessed with the brush that comes in the Flower eye shadow palettes. I don't know if she sells those separately but she should. It's the perfect crease brush for me.
I’m glad you give me something to watch on Saturday mornings other than Mickey and the Roadsters Racers!! Lol!! I soooo look forward to a freshly brewed cup of joe and the latest Emily video! What would we all do if there weren’t Saturday Emily videos?! I don’t even want to think of it! 😆
I love watching your videos over coffee☕and thank for the info on the light illusion foundation. The Santa clarita diet is such a funny show. I recently got into. I'm not a fan of the language in it but I love the lead roles and it's so cleverly scripted I can't stop watching it😊
I’m a new subscriber and I want to thank you! You have really opened my mind to drug store foundations. Some of the high end foundations have been disappointing lately. I bought my first real techniques sponge yesterday and one of the foundations that you recommended.😘
Every once in awhile my fiancé will overhear my beauty RUclips videos and normally makes fun of everyone for using the same descriptive words like pigmented and buttery. The other day he overheard me watching your 10 things I’d buy if I lost my makeup and said “I like her! She sounds like she knows what she’s talking about!” 😂 I guess that’s a huge compliment!

Leslie Johnson EXACTLY why I watch her too!
I'm so glad that you mentioned Santa Clarita diet. That show is hilarious and it's such wonderful dark humor. I feel like TV has been missing a show like this for a while.
Can we just acknowledge the devotion to subscribers here? Before she even puts the foundation on she's like "this really doesn't work for me" but she still puts it on.

Lindsey Ewinger she’s the best!
She needs to try this with a primer that the brand offers...
There's no Walmart, no Ulta, and most definitely no flower beauty in my country, but I'm watching because Emily!!! ❤
Santa Clarita Diet is awesome!! Tim is my favorite! Just some of the lines he says and his facial expressions to go with are hilarious! This show wasn’t something I thought I’d be interested in but watched both seasons and now I want more! You’re amazing as always em!
I DIE for that show! I love it so much! The comedic time is so PERFECT! And the teenager boy cracks me up! 😂
Denise, I will have to look for it, my husband LOVES Timothy Olyphant!
Denise Bonfilio Tim is ...... shew! I dont even have words for him, especially in justified! I agree if anyone likes him in this show they need to watch justified!
I didn't think I'd like that show either, I started watching it cuz I couldn't find anything else and I LOVE IT! I watch every episode one after another, then watched it again and was so sad there wasn't more....... and Timothy olyphant (I may be spelling that wrong) but he is awesome in everything I've ever seen him in. Such a handsome handsome man! ...... na hes more than handsome, hes sexy!
Alessandra watch the first 4 episodes. If you’re not hooked, then at least you’ll know ... but I’ll bet you a Makeup Revolution palette that you’ll be hooked.
🤓
Love these videos! Please please please keep doing one brand style updates they're so super helpful! xoxo!
Flower Beauty has a gorgeous highlight trio!
Melissa Rae One of their best products!!
Yes that threeo or the hilight blush bronzer palette ..those 2 r the best in drungstore

omg!! Glad i could help! :D :D
aah thanks for the answer! :D hugs from Iceland!
Júlía kristey Jónsdóttir what a sweet comment!
This mascara is wow!!!
Júlía kristey Jónsdóttir spot on!!!
I feel like breathing fresh air in the RUclips land when I watch her.
I really loved Santa Clarita Diet! I wasn't expecting it to be so good but omg I fell in love! It's so strange but so good.
It's so good! A little but gorey but very good.
Becki Tankson yes, i wasn't sure if i would like it, but i love the actors, turns out i love this show!!!! I wish they would make more than 12 episodes a season because I'm so sad i need them to put the 3rd season already
I love it to, it's a mix of Dexter and desperate housewives in my opinion!
Becki Tankson it is so ridiculous funny.... I love it
i love it too omg
Thank you~ So many people rave about the Flower Beauty Foundation and that its long lasting but on me it lasts about 3-4 hours. It just starts fading. Love waking up on Saturday morning, drinking my coffee and watching your videos.

Who the heck thumbs down a Emily video?!?! Crazy! Emily I love all your reviews & always look forward to your next video! ❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Anna Dudley maybe flower beauty?? Ha ha
That’s what I thought!😕
The Shimmer & Strobe highlighting palette is HIGH END QUALITY!!! A holy grail!!!
Emily, coffee and makeup talk: the best way to start Saturday morning.
I've seen a lot of beauty RUclipsrs do videos on Flower Beauty lately, but I don't mind at all. It's so nice to see different opinions on the same products! Especially since products wear differently on different skin types. Thanks for sharing your always refreshing take, Emily!

I liver tincture
Cnt Leroux thank you for sharing. I have Colorado dry skin🤪
Cnt Leroux what shade would u recommend for NC 20 yellow undertone?
I love that for almost every single product you review, you gives both pros and cons. It keeps it realistic. You also always take into account how it might work on someone with different needs than your own.

Stevie's Girl I also love that sponge!
Vanessa Guadiana Right it's so good!
I buy the sponges 3 at a time! I’m obsessed!
Elaine Siebert I need to pick up a back up!
This is my fav sponge ever!
You always make applying makeup so easy 😊Thank you for sharing with us! Cant wait to watch you hit 1 million 😃your are almost there Emily 💕 Have a great weekend!
Cool toned + plums!!! Be still, my heart! I hope this is the next trend in palettes! 💜💜💜

Tga Bntayan that one is amazing.
Moranda Aubrey I’m glad I ordered it!

Watching Emily is the perfect way to start out my Saturday.
I’m on my second Mountain Dew after my baby’s very first night in his new big boy bed. It went PERFECTLY on his end but I couldn’t sleep 😂
Mountain Dew has more caffeine than other sodas...colas. They may have kept you awake.
Terry Fischer I think she’s saying that she’s drinking them today because she didn’t sleep last night. 😂 she wants that extra caffeine boost!
thewolfisawake honestly I don't think I slept through the night for my daughters first 3 years because I was terrified of something happening to her. We as parents all need to stick together in our sleeplessness. LOL much love to you
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who would prefer a good mountain dew over a cup of coffee. lol I know it is bad, but I don't crave coffee in the mornings like I do the burn of a good mountain dew. lol
Marlena K goodness knows the past three years I haven’t slept haha. I lost my hearing when he was about three months old and that made the insomnia EVEN WORSE!!
They actually showed it cosmetics in an episode in season 2 like... Went out of their way to show it and I was surprised they didn't feature flower beauty.
Sammie Schmall I've noticed makeup companies being shown in shows too... like making the brand name stand out in a really quick shot. One show I really notice it is Riverdale.
If it has Timothy Olephant in it, I'm there! Justify is an amazing series, but he was what really made the show memorable for me. I'm definitely going to be watching Santa Clarita Diet now!
Santa Clarita Diet is the best 😂😂😂 I didn't like it at first but it's just filled with zingers. The 2nd season had me rolling 😂😂
Cnt Leroux the last part of the last episode of season 2 KILLED ME!!!
Sandy Rogers YES! Just remind yourself that Drew is a vegetarian and it’s just Jell-O, beets and Other regular, every day edibles.
GoodandDelicious Amen!! Had me laughing right to the end of the episode 😂 👍
Sandy Rogers I agree. Im definitely not into the "surface", topic matter, but to me, the show is really about the family dynamic. Pure satire, the one liners are just pure comedy. Drew & Timothy Oliphant... just awesome. If you can see past the grossness, it's worth it! 🙌
I’m super curious about the foundation and concealer! I’m need to see if this is still at Walmart in Canada - you have me intrigued!
Samantha Jane I don't think you'll be able to find it unfortunately. I hit up a lot of Walmarts while I'm in Canada and I've never seen it in any province. But I'm jealous that I still find NYC which is no longer in the states.
They stopped selling at WalMart Canada a couple years ago☹
It was pretty hush hush, after weeks of the displays being dumped into clearance bins, one response to a comment on the Flower Beauty Facebook page confirmed what was happening.
I live in the US and can’t find Flower Beauty anywhere here. Not Ulta not Walmart either... I know my Walmart used to carry it a few years ago. They haven’t picked it back up yet though.
Yeah it's been gone from Walmart for a while now up here... Thank goodness Ulta ships to Canada now because I love the cream eye shdows
BlkbirdCDN unfortunately they don't sell the cream shadows
Thank you so much for all your hard work. Trying all these products and wearing them to see lasting power has to take a decent chunk of time. I so prefer this to a "First Impressions" type video (which seems to be the most popular now), because you really give an honest impression until you have worn it all day and in different circumstances. I really appreciate your videos because there are SO many new products being launched at a time it can be overwhelming to decipher the good from the bad. And you are honest, which is also hard to come by these days, what with influencers who are whisked away to a tropical paradise in exchange for a positive review. Thanks, Emily, for all the times you have saved me money and all the times you have steered me towards a new holy grail.
Your witty comments 😂 enjoying my Saturday morning with two dogs in my lap, a cup of coffee and your video! Thanks Emily 😍
Rachel Dean Ditto, except just one pug! 🐖
madtristeful! Adorable!
Love watching your videos while my little ones are napping 😊 this video didn’t disappoint!! You’re great!
"I feel fresh. I feel alive" LOL
Good morning Emily. Happy Saturday! Thank you for this video. I always trust your opinion on products. Most of my collection is from your recommendations. They always work great for me. Love you. Have a great weekend XO
yay!! Thanks Luanne! Have a great weekend also!
Catrice is super affordable and I love their stuff. You should do a full face from them!
Rebecca Boden yes!!!! Their mascaras are SO good!!
I just love watching you it makes me smile I can be feeling really low but watching definitely makes me happy x
I would like to put a vote into effect that Bub does the pr unboxing...I love it! He's hysterical!!!
The foundation is my favorite!!! I have extremely dry skin, so the hydration is perfect on my skin 💕💕
I’m enjoying a root beer at 8am with a sausage biscuit. Oh I’m 7 months pregnant, lol
YES
Awwww, that ‘s so cute! I remember those crazy cravings. All the best to you!
This made me smile. It's been a LONG time since I've been pregnant, but that's not to say I haven't had any cravings. LOL!
totally something I would do except that I'm not pregnant. If I ever get pregnant, I feed bad for my husband because my cravings are all over the place all the time anyway...lolol
Haha I dont feel bad for having coke for breakfast since I’m pregnant too
I think cats dream about playing, and chasing and stalking. Really anything they do during the day, just like when humans dream!
I love the foundation. I have very dry skin. I just use my cerave moisturizer and Beccas back light primer. It lasts all day on me and looks so fresh and nice on my face. Thataylaa actually ranked it number 1 on her 15 days of foundation!!
Saturday mornings with Emily are the best! I'd recommend trying the highlighters in the shimmer & strobe highlighting palette or the lift & sculpt contouring palette! They're a bit powdery, but they're good quality & a little goes a long way. Also, if you're looking for a new sponge to love, the pink LA Girl sponge is very comparable to the beauty blender, but shaped like the real techniques sponge! I think you'd like it more than your nyx sponge!
When I have a foundation that doesn't last on me, I mix a little loose powder in with it before applying and it lasts all day.
I like some of the flower beauty items... but honestly have learning more toward Milani lately... live the newer palettes they came out with! Thanks for all your time and honest feedback! It is so helpful for people like me, who have so little experience with makeup. 💜💜💜
Their original 3-pan rectangular highlighter palette that comes with a (kinda ridiculous) brush, is the BEST. My 5 favorite highlighters of ALL time are the Anastasia Sugar glow kit, the new Hourglass highlighter palette, Becca Champagne Pop, the Amrezy one, & THAT Flower Beauty highlighter palette...no joke! In fact, before I got the Hourglass highlighter palette, the Flower was probably my absolute favorite. I love to wear all three tones (light champagne, slightly pink, & pale gold) individually or mixed together. Until that Hourglass palette came around (which has VERY similar tones), it was also ALWAYS the highlighter I chose for all special occasions...it's THAT good.😉 Please give it a go, as I REALLY feel you'd love it too.💕
I also recently tried the Flower Beauty Blush in Sweet Pea and have fallen in love with it, such a great drugstore blush. I also have the same powder problem with the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose powder, it flies around and I end up inhaling it and coughing. Trying to use is up to get it out of my collection for that very reason. Hugs, Melissa
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the foundation and mascara! It just works for me. The foundation gives me a beautiful glow and the mascara makes me look like I have massive eyelashes and the applicator is so easy to use.
“Of course I want all my looks to be ~cool~” you crack me up! I just adore you
The flower highlight palette with just 3 shades is sooooo much better! Its GORGEOUS! The one you got is ...no way. Thank you for all you do,babe!
rian nodland That pallette is AWESOME!!
Emily, thank you for always being so truthful! I purchased the eye shadow palette and foundation due to all of the raves from other RUclipsrs! Both were fails for me for all of the reasons you mentioned. A waste of time and money. Thank goodness it wasn’t high end. I can always count on you to be honest and truthful! One of the many things I love about you! 💕
We just had Flower beauty become available in Australia and before I shop .. I came straight to your channel and bam .. here it is !! You are a godsend !
WOW! The final look is gorgeous! LOVE LOVE LOVE that lip color on you, Emily!
Thanks Emily! I’ve been wondering about this line. I tried it a few years ago when it was in Walmart and didn’t love it but was thinking about trying it again. Always trust your opinion above anyone else’s so I was glad to see this video.
The shimmer and strobe highlighting palette is AMAZING Emily!! You should really try it, one of the best at the drugstore!
Love love love your honest review...I have had some flower products in my Ulta cart for a while and not sure if I wanted to commit but now I will. And yes to Timothy in justified...I was like a lost puppy when that show was over..so glad he’s back and love him with Drew! 💚
Glad to know the foundation is dewy. I'm 43 and have very oily skin. Foundations are hard for me because of that. The only foundation that has truly worked for me is the revlon colorstay foundation and powder. You said you like your foundation to have staying power and revlon colorstay does. It will not move until you take it off. Try it if you haven't all ready. Just found you today. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Have a wonderful day.
Good morning Emily and makeuplovers! Hope you all have a great Saturday.
Emily, after watching I have a video request. Can you make a video where you go through brushes and talk about their shapes and the different ways you can use them. I have brushes I bought for specific purposes (after watching YT videos), but I have a ton of brushes that came in sets,but I have no idea how or where to use them. Thank you!
I’ve always wanted to try a Flower beauty, but the Walmart closest to us did not carry it, so I’m happy that Ulta is now carrying it. This vid is very helpful as I was unsure what to try, but I trust Emily’s opinion!
Happy Saturday Emily! So happy you did a review on Flower products. I’ve heard so many good and bad things about the foundation and sponge. I always go with your opinion. Thanks for saving me some cash!
The original flower highlighter palette is amazing!! The new one isn’t great, but they work really well as eyeshadows/inner corner highlighters. I also use the sponge for powder, doesn’t work for me with foundation. I just recently got one of their bullet lipsticks and it was really nice. Great video!
I know that the shadows aren't as good as you would have liked but I love this look you're rockin'! Of course, I'm so fair (my shade is transparent haha) that warm tones don't look right on me so I love cool tones...and, I too, have been watching you since your apartment days!! I love your videos and look forward to them! Oh and btw...cats dream about what they can destroy next when you're gone!!
Yay!!! Flower is my absolute favorite and I have pretty much every item you used. I was so glad to see it all in play! I highly recommend their other highlighter palette, Shimmer and Strobe. Love your videos Emily, watching them is the highlight 😁 of my day!
I LOVE Santa Clarita Diet! I laughed so hard when I saw the “Nervous Neighbor” painting as they panned through the collection of artistic expressions of her obsessive investigating. It’s a show you gotta watch a couple times to catch all of the quips you missed the 1st time while laughing too hard. Anyhoo, thank you for this review. I feel I can trust yours more than some I’ve seen. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I appreciate the Flower Beauty prices, packaging, deals, shipping and good service at their own site.
The highlighter in her Lift & Sculpt Contouring Pallet that has a bronzer and a dusty pink blush in the middle and a golden highlight is outstanding! I even wear it to work. It is the perfect consistency and I love the bronzer because it's cooler and you can slightly contour with it, blush is beautiful. Highly recommend. I totally agree that the sponge is just too large, but it is the closest texture to the Beauty Blender in my opinion. I think I have tried them all. Haha. Wish there was a way to cut it down to perfect size. Thanks Emily, you are super amazing!
Who would think that a makeup expert like you would look so pretty without makeup. So gorgeous, with or without!
I am obsessed with The Office. Anyone else?? Lol
Sarah Lundeen first was hooked when it originally was on NBC. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I've watched it all the way through 3 times 😂😂
All my middle school students are too 😂 which I don’t even get since they are so young
Katia Gonzalez haha. Yeah my kids liked it too. The first time it aired I had no interest but I've watched it through twice on Netflix
The flower beauty trio highlighter is really good. It has a pink, gold and champagne. They are soft and blend well on the face. 💞💞
Thanks for the recommendation!
YESSSSS!!!!! That pallette is awesome!!! Just beautiful, buttery highlighters!
Try the lift and sculpt contouring palette as well as the shimmer and shine highlighting palette! Both have amazing products and I think you’d be impressed the highlight and bronzer specifically!!
Thank you for a great video, as usual! The one thing I also recommend is the Lash Warrior mascara. I'm a mascara addict, and that blew me away!! I'm not reaching for anything else, which never happens. Thank you for being yourself; you're one of the few RUclipsrs that I feel has been and continues to be yourself. ❤️❤️❤️ And, PS, YES Santa Clarita Diet! Love love love!
Love that show! Knew you were going to mention it!😊 All the actors are fantastic!! Lots of really fun, quick, silly humor!
I'm so glad you mentioned Santa Clarita Diet! I have also watched both seasons. It's weird but also a funny, good program.
Emily, thanks for this review. I really like the highlighting trio. It has more traditional shades, and it looks glossy on the skin. Almost a wet look. I’ve kind of stopped picking up flower beauty products, because they are no longer being sold at my local Walmart, but an Ulta is about to open doors in town next month. I’ll have to re-check some of their products again.
Hey Emily!! Happy Saturday!! I really enjoy your content, anything you put out I'll watch! I haven't tried anything from Flower Beauty than the sponge, which I love how soft it is. I want to try their lip products and setting sprays!!
Keep up the amazingness! I really appreciate all you do to bring us such detailed reviews and information, I just wanted to let you know! Have an amazing weekend! Love from Chicago!
I also have the translucent powder and I like how finely milled it is but it does seem to go everywhere and I've just not had the best of luck with it . This is what I get when I comment before wacthing the whole video 🤣🤣 Love the blushes I think mine is tea rose. Also love Timothy Olyphant loved him in Deadwood!!
Stevie's Girl if you like a very good finely milled powder It Cosmetics has a fabulous one called bye bye pores. They always have sales going on their website. It comes in a little tiny jar but it's almost like water it's so fine and I find that I have to use so little in order to get outstanding results. Just a suggestion :-)
Okay, I can get on with my day now because I got my Emily fix! Thanks so much Emily. I so appreciate all of your posts. Have a wonderful weekend!!
starting off my birthday with a Saturday morning Emily video! 💕
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY!!!!!
emilynoel83 thanks em ☺️💕
Emily I am so glad you review the brand I’ve been waiting for this day. I really trust you when it come to products review ❤️. You are such and honest person and beautiful 😍💕
I loveeeeee the flower beauty sponge. I honestly love it more than the real techniques and the beauty blender. It is so soft and applies foundation beautifully. It's way softer than the real techniques and beauty blender in my opinion. I highly recommend
I have the same flower eye shadow palette and I LOVE that far right purple shimmer. It’s by far one of my favorite eye shadows I’ve ever come across. It’s a great transformer color on top of other shades.
This is great, I've been so curious about flower beauty since it showed up at Ulta. Happy weekend!
I Love the Santa Clarita Diet! And as someone who lives in Santa Clarita, it's got an entire other level of jokes. When they talk about the town...totally accurate (well, mostly accurate - haha)
Lisa J here on RUclips described the tone and light concealer idea so well for me- it’s like putting white pantyhose over a bruise. You can still see it, it’s just a little less dark, but certainly not covered at all.
The pantyhose visual did it for me. 😊 I get it now. Lol.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video since you mentioned you were doing it!! Thanks for sharing, love you Emily!!! ❤️❤️❤️
P.S. I’m OBSESSED with your coffee mug and I need it!!!! 😜
I love watching your videos Emily! Been watching for almost 7 years now but haven't really commented much but I'm working on changing that. Keep it up supermom! 💖💖💖
So glad you played with that shadow pallet! I bought it almost a year ago and just didn’t know what to do but your look is 👌🏼👌🏼
I LOVE Santa Clarita Diet! I haven't seen season 2 yet but season 1 was so freaking hilarious. It's so.... WTF but also highly entertaining.
I'm obsessed with the brush that comes in the Flower eye shadow palettes. I don't know if she sells those separately but she should. It's the perfect crease brush for me.
I’m glad you give me something to watch on Saturday mornings other than Mickey and the Roadsters Racers!! Lol!! I soooo look forward to a freshly brewed cup of joe and the latest Emily video! What would we all do if there weren’t Saturday Emily videos?! I don’t even want to think of it! 😆
I love watching your videos over coffee☕and thank for the info on the light illusion foundation. The Santa clarita diet is such a funny show. I recently got into. I'm not a fan of the language in it but I love the lead roles and it's so
cleverly scripted I can't stop watching it😊
I’m a new subscriber and I want to thank you! You have really opened my mind to drug store foundations. Some of the high end foundations have been disappointing lately. I bought my first real techniques sponge yesterday and one of the foundations that you recommended.😘
We're Justified fans, too! I even named a foster cat "Raylan". I've never seen the Diet show but I do love Olyphant, so maybe I should try it.
