It's the (second) most wonderful time of the year, bargain beauty shoppers! NOW is the time that you can find holiday gift sets for 75% off at your local drugstores and big box stores, and I have some proof for you today, thanks to two lovely readers!

First up, reader @hijklesliemnop on Instagram just found some e.l.f. and Flower Beauty holiday sets at her Walmart for 75% off and kindly shared this pic of her haul:

e.l.f. and Flower Beauty holiday gift sets for 75% off at Walmart

@hijklesliemnop paid $2.49 each for the Flower Beauty polish trios, $4.98 for the 3-piece Flower Beauty brush set, and whopping $1.22 for the e.l.f. eyeshadow duo set. You can't beat that, right? I'm particularly excited about that Flower Beauty brush set, since I love the Flower Beauty brush I reviewed HERE, and I can't wait to try more (especially at that price).

Spotted: Flower by Drew Barrymore Holiday 2014 Gift Sets

In addition to all of the Holiday 2014 gift sets I've been showing lately at the drugstores, Walmart has some nice holiday gift sets available right now as well (here are the Hard Candy Holiday 2014 Gift Sets if you missed those). But did you know that Flower by Drew Barrymore also has some nice gift sets for this holiday season at Walmart right now? I didn't...until today!

Many thanks to reader BizzyB of Just2Bizzy Blog for this one! BizzyB spotted these at her local Walmart this week and was nice enough to share some pics with us:

Review: Flower Beauty by Drew Barrymore Ultimate Lip & Concealer Brush

Purchased by Me

About a month ago I showed you the new makeup brushes that Flower Beauty by Drew Barrymore recently introduced into the permanent line at Walmart (click HERE if you missed that post). I've reviewed several of Flower's cosmetics for you over the past few years, and I've had really good luck with some of them, so I was very curious about these new brushes.

When I finally saw all five of the Ultimate Makeup Brushes in person, I decided on the Lip & Concealer Brush since it looked like it might be pretty versatile. Have a look!

Spotted: NEW Flower by Drew Barrymore Fragrance Collection (Sultry, Radiant and Cherished)

Thanks so much to longtime reader BubblegumBengal for letting me know that she recently spotted the new Flower fragrances at her local Walmart. As you might recall, I showed you the new Flower makeup brushes back at the beginning of September (click HERE if you missed those--I will be reviewing one of them soon) but I had no idea that Flower was releasing fragrances too. I just spotted them at my Walmart yesterday, so you know I had to share some pics with you!

NOTE: If you go looking for these at your local Walmart, they are NOT located in the cosmetics aisle with the Flower cosmetics. They are located in the fragrance aisle (at my location, they're in a locked glass cabinet).

Spotted: NEW Flower Beauty Ultimate Brush Collection

A few of you have asked me over the past few weeks if I've seen the new makeup brushes now popping up in the Flower by Drew Barrymore display at Walmart. I have NOT yet seen them in person, but today I have pics to share with you, thanks to reader Elizabeth (@elizabethjginter on Instagram)!

Review: Flower Kiss Me Twice Lip & Cheek Stick in Can't Re-fuchsia

Purchased by Me

I'm not a frequent Walmart shopper (I'm more of a Target kind of gal) but I was at Walmart a while back looking for something unrelated to beauty and you know I had to stop by the cosmetics department. It was then that I remembered that Flower by Drew Barrymore released some new products in January of this year. I had really good luck with Flower's Win Some, Rogue Some Creme Blush, so I was excited to try one of the new-for-2014 lip and cheek sticks. I bought Can't Re-fuchsia (love that name) and have been using it for about a month now. So let's take a look!

Flower Kiss Me Twice Lip & Cheek Stick in Can't Re-fuchsia

(retail: $9.98, 0.21 oz)

The Kiss Me Twice Lip & Cheek Sticks from Flower are available in five shades and can be purchased exclusively at Walmart (in-store and online).

NEW Flower Beauty products for 2014

Remember back at the end of 2013 when I posted a link to a picture of the new Flower Beauty Lip Suede Velvety Lip Chubby Pencils? Well they're here, and so are a lots of OTHER new Flower products!

Huge thanks to reader Beth for this one--Beth shared some great info about the new 2014 products and also spotted (and purchased) one of new-for-2014 Shadow Play Eyeshadow Quad shades--take a look:

Some of the products mentioned in the article are already in stores, but some are absolutely new to me, so I wanted to share!

Review: Flower by Drew Barrymore Raise Some Brows Defining Brow Pencils

I'm in permanent panic-mode when it comes to my eyebrow pencil. I live in fear that my beloved Holy Grail eyebrow pencil, Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Dark Blonde, is going to be discontinued (some shades in this line were discontinued last year but, knock on wood, Dark Blonde hasn't been...yet). 

So when I noticed that the new brand, Flower by Drew Barrymore (available exclusively at Walmart, in-store on online), had a line of brow pencils, I ordered two shades from Walmart in the hopes that I might be able to find a new go-to product. Since I prefer automatic pencils for my brows, I was delighted to see that these are twist-ups! Let's see how they've been working for me...

Flower Raise Some Brows Defining Brow Pencils in Blonde and Light Brown

(retail: $5.98, 0.01 oz)

Before I get into this review, I want to point out something VERY cool about this brow pencil range. There are eight shades available, and three of those shades are for "unconventional" hair colors such as green, blue and purple! Check out all eight shades here. I've never seen brow pencils in purple, green or blue offered at the drugstore level before, so kudos to you, Flower!

Spotted: full Flower by Drew Barrymore display

A few weeks ago I showed you this partial display that was beginning to pop up in certain Walmart locations. Recently, the permanent Flower by Drew Barrymore display has started to appear in certain locations (I have heard from a handful of you who have spotted it). If you haven't spotted it in your area yet, hold tight--hopefully it shows up soon!

Reader Maria spotted the full display at her local Walmart and was nice enough to share some pics:

Everything that's on the Walmart website is in this display (the full range of products from Flower), with exception of some of the nail colors (if you spot anything else missing from this display, please let me know if I missed something!).

Review: Flower by Drew Barrymore Color Play Créme Eyeshadows in Awesome Blossom and Flirty Floret

It's time to end the suspense. Last week I posted this picture of my eye, telling you that I was loving the shadow I was wearing (but I didn't reveal the shadow itself). 

Time for the big reveal: it was Flower Color Play Créme Eyeshadow in Awesome Blossom! Congrats to everyone who guessed correctly in the comments/Twitter/Facebook. You guys are gooood.

I purchased two shades from this collection online a few weeks ago (Flower is exclusive to Walmart and, as of the time of this post, only partial displays have been spotted in stores, but the entire line is available online). 

I've been wearing these bad boys non-stop since I got them. So let's get down to it, shall we? I have a LOT to say about these, so sit back, get comfy, grab a cup of coffee or tea and get ready....

Flower Lip Service Lip Butter in Cherry Chiffon

Review and Swatches: Flower by Drew Barrymore Nail Lacquer in April Showers

Probably one of the most anticipated drugstore beauty debuts of the past few years (that I can recall), Flower by Drew Barrymore is now at Walmart (click here for more details). I ordered an assortment of Flower cosmetics online, which I will be reviewing in the weeks to come, so I thought I'd kick things off with the one nail polish I ordered. 

Since this is a completely new brand, I'm going to be a little bit more detailed in my review than I would be for an established brand, just to give you as much detail as possible. So let's get started:

 

Flower Nail Lacquer in April Showers

(retail: $4.98, 0.4 oz)

Per the labels of everything I purchased, Flower cosmetics are "Proudly made in the USA" and they "never test on animals."

Spotted: Flower Cosmetics by Drew Barrymore display

Reader Shannon spotted an end-cap display for the new Flower Cosmetics collection at Walmart and was nice enough to share some pics with us! 

NOTE:  Earlier today I posted about how the full Flower collection is now up on the Walmart website, so keep in mind that the photos below are of a partial display (there are many other products in this collection including powders, concealers, BB Cream, eye colors, etc.). It looks like Walmart is introducing this brand with these end-cap displays, but eventually you'll be able to find the permanent wall display, containing the full collection, in the cosmetics department.

PS: They seem to be adding even more products to the website because this morning when I was combing through the collection, I did NOT see the Petite Fleurs Pocket Triple Eyeshadows (how cute are these!?!) but they're on the site now.

Flower Beauty Balm BB Cream

(retail: $12.98, 1.0 oz)

A huge thanks to readers Moira, Liza and Linda for the heads-up that Flower Cosmetics are now available for purchase on the Walmart website (with everyday free shipping, no minimum required)!

But be warned that the BB Cream and several other products are currently "out of stock."  I don't know if that means they were truly available at one time (but went quickly) or if they're just not available yet, so keep checking back if something you want is not available right now.

Thanks again, Moira, Liza and Linda, for the heads-up!

PS: for more information about this new line of cosmetics (in case you're wondering why so many of us are excited about this news!) click here. I have no idea exactly when this line will hit Walmart stores, but as mentioned in my original post, the press release states that the line will be available in 1,509 Walmart locations this month (January).
