I know it sounds crazy since I work at a beauty magazine, but I only very recently started wearing blush. As in the past four months recently. For years, I avoided an entire section of Sephora, and now that I'm wearing it, I have a lot of ground to cover. I've been going through all the different blush formulas like wildfire, finding that I'm partial to creams, warm peach shades, and a whole other kind of Orgasm.
The Flower Beauty Flower Pots (how cute is that name, Drew Barrymore?) are my new blush obsession. At first glance, I just thought they were so pretty — the kind of pretty I want to show off on the tray that sits on my vanity. The silky pressed powder has a rose etched deep into its surface, which can evoke two reactions: You’ll either want to rip straight through the packaging to try it out immediately, or you’ll hesitate to start using it for fear you’ll ruin the Instagram-worthy design. I dove right into the Deep Peony (a warm plum with gold shimmer), swirling my blush brush into it and only feeling the slightest pang of regret.
