Hey lovelies!
Many of you may or may not know that Drew Barrymore came out with her own cosmetics line.
When I first discovered that, I bought the
FLOWER Foundation with Primer and I really, really love it! It has good coverage but it is on the higher price end of drugstore makeups. It costs $13.00.
However, that will be another review for another time.
Anyway, I bought the
FLOWER Perfect Canvas Creme Foundation at Walmart a few weeks ago. I couldn't decide between the NF13 (Shade 3) and NF14 (Shade 4). Shade 4 was a bit dark so I figured I'd go with the other shade, (Shade 3) since it looked as if it would match my skin a whole lot better.
Now, this "perfect canvas" foundation only comes in four (4) colors! Light, Medium, Tan, and Dark (Shade 1, 2, 3, ,4). I didn't realize that until now.
For $12.00, it is a bit pricey in my opinion but it is pretty pigmented. It has medium to full coverage and the foundation is so creamy and ultra-soft.
It comes in a white, rectangle compact in which the foundation is on the left and the sponge applicator is located/placed on the right. It does not come with a mirror though so if you're traveling with this, you're gonna need to bring a compact mirror with you.
I do love the rose gold outlines along the inside of the compact, it gives it a luxury feel to it.
And the placement of the sponge applicator has little wholes in them that goes out to the back of the compact so the sponge will be able to breath.
One of the good things about this is it is
oil free so for us oily girls, this is a blessing! It's
talc and
paraben free. It's rich in
Vitamin C and it's
blend-able.
I honestly wish it came with MORE colors. The choice of tones is so limited that it's hard to find the perfect shade for your skin. As I said, I bought the Shade 3 which is the second darkest shade in the line.
I decided to wear it for one of my videos but immediately took it off. Yes, it's creamy and it goes great on your skin. But the shade is so off that I couldn't stand looking at my face. It was way too light for my skin and to think that it was the second darkest shade, how would the darkest one look?
Of course, I didn't expect it to match my skin perfectly due to the limited shades but I expected it to match my skin as closely as possible. I wouldn't have minded if it's just a little lighter, I can just use a darker shade of foundation or powder to go on top of it. But it was just so light that it was really obvious how incorrectly it matched my face.
If I pay $12 for a product from a line that I really liked, I would've expected it to be worth the money.
But really, other than the whole
limited-colors-not-matching-my-face issue, this product is really good! It has great qualities, but the shades just really bug me a lot.

P.S. Sorry for the dirty sponge, I used it already.
