Flower Knows Cosmetics Haul & Review

 

Hello angels how are you doing today? I have been loving all the Douyin (Chinese TikTok) reels that have been popping up on my timeline lately. I wanted to venture into Chinese makeup more and this brand Flower Knows really caught my eye so I decided to put in an order.

I was lucky that at the time I ordered they just released their Strawberry Rococo collection so I got a few complimentary gifts with my order as part of their promotions. 

[disclaimer] I bought everything with my own money but have opened an affiliate account with them so links in this post will be affiliated! You can use my coupon code "SEIRREN" for 5% off your order 💖 As always, everything in this post will be my own and unbiased opinion ✌🏻

All the packaging was super cute and luxe. It really felt like I was ordering from a very bougie brand 😱

Since my order surpassed a certain amount they gave me these little hair clips, hand mirror and makeup brush as a gift! The clips are so cute, I can't wait to wear them out 🥰

I was most looking forward to the blushes. I've been really liking purple and soft pink blushes so when I saw these I knew I had to have them. The gradation on the blushes gives you a very soft dimensional look, it's really such a unique product!! I think you could get a similar effect by layering different colors but I thought this design was so cool 😍

Of course I had to get one of their eyeshadow palettes to try so I got this one from their Strawberry Rococo collection. I tried to stay away from the neutral palettes and go for one with colors I don't really have in my collection and this one looked perfect.

The colors are a beautiful pastel tone and the glitter is to die for!! I think you could really build this up with a primer & wet brush if you want it to be more opaque but these shades are a very soft matte so imo they are best suited for daily/light looks.

I've also been obsessed with liquid glitters for my namida bukuro and highlighting the inner curve of my eye so I got this Cherry Love liquid glitter.  It's super reflective and has chunky glitter pieces in it that catch the light beautifully ✨

This was the eye look that I came up with so you can see how the products apply! I didn't use a shadow primer because I wanted to test how pigmented the eyeshadows were without it.

Next I got two glosses and a lipstick. Tbh all the gloss colors are in the same shade family with a different saturation so I wouldn't really go nuts over them even though they're all very pretty. It's just if you look at their photos of them all side by side you can really hardly tell the difference except between the lightest and darkest few shades.

The glosses are actually such a comfortable formula; they're not sticky at all. The color is vibrant and hydrating so even though I think most of the colors look very similar I would keep my favorite shade on hand. These are super easy to wear on their own or over a lipstick/liner!

My final verdict is that this brand has easily become one of my favorite to reach for! I think the pricing is pretty reasonable when comparing to popular brands at Sephora. The quality of the products themselves are outstanding and the packaging is high quality as well. I look forward to trying more Chinese makeup brands this year 🥰
