Welcome to the final installment of flower power makeup. This post includes two beautiful palettes embossed with floral designs. By the way, palettes make for great Mother's Day gifts if you are already thinking of ideas. Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

I just love the look of this brand new for Spring Chantecaille Les Roses Palette, $105. Although it's expensive, it actually is cheaper to purchase the palette than it is to buy all of the colors separately.

The shades chosen are all very wearable, and the full rose on the blush and bronzer adds a sweet and feminine touch. I happen to really like this brand a lot. I haven't tried this yet, but I can't wait to check it out.

Prescriptives Colorscope Set, $50, so reminds me of a flower! I can't be certain if it's a flower, star or sun, so I've taken creative freedom positioning it here. I'm a big Prescriptives fan and I really like the plum family of colors they have put together.

I have also seen this palette in more of a neutral tone, but I can't seem to find it online anymore - maybe it's sold out. It also comes with a double sided shadow and contour brush. I can't wait to hear what you think.

Brilliant Lip Gloss

Chantecaille Brilliant Lip Gloss is so ultra-shiny, I felt like it made my eyes sparkle and my teeth look whiter. That's because it contains something "micro-spheres of vegetal polysaccarides," and while I'm not quite sure what those are, I do know that they made my lips hydrated and sexy, and my lips looked plumper without any stinging.

This is Chantecaille's debut lip gloss with a wand-and a brilliant wand, if I may add. It's actually a generous brush, as opposed to a sponge or a few measly bristles, which makes for very even application. I tried all eight shades and felt that Mirth (a soft pink-peach), Love (a super-sheer pink), and Charm (a neutral tone for darker skin) were best for nude lips. Buy them here for $26.
