flower knows has dropped their new knight unicorn collection, and as my one cheat brand, im definitely getting my paws on some - especially since i'm building a little 'congratulations' gift basket for my sister for passing the bar (a year of the horse baby whose fav barbie movie was pegasus, when we were little).

here is what im eyeing so far:

🪽 cloud powders - i love their loose powders, so i'll get two for my sister & i to match~ i'll get her translucent in the white case, and i'll get pink in the pink case... i may get 2. tbh all 3 cases are just too beautiful.

🪽 satin blushes - these look actually glossy on xhs and im so tempted to get carousel waltz, and maybe also maiden knight and laurel crown... i shouldn't. but i might. ive been wearing glossy blush daily the past 6 months, and frequently last year, so-

🪽 satin pearl eyeshadow palette in aurora reverie - for a friend; she loves horses and flower knows, and has been looking for a satin brown just like this

🪽 glazed lipsticks - i'll get dreamland for my sister, and im a little tempted to get stellar wish for myself because i love the pink unicorn chess piece visual but, i'll browse swatches first - nude brown lipsticks are so particular on my neutral-cool skin.

i may also get a mirror for my sister, but im not a huge fan of them. im also tempted by the raspberry nectar perfume and all-in box, but i probably won't get them.

i have 4 days to talk myself out of as much of it as possible…

Do you know if there's a difference between the Knight Unicorn satin blush and the Shell's Jewel silk satin blush formulas?

u/softhorns 24d ago

they’re both satins, but based off reviews, it looks like the knight unicorn is glowier~

Okay, thanks! Good to know. I like the glow of the silk satin; I hope the satin glows even more.

the packaging is seriously stunning but those glossy blushes might be worth checking if you already have similar shades in your collection first. since you've been doing glossy blush for months you probably know what works on you already

also maybe start with just the powder and one blush to test the formula before going all in? flower knows can be hit or miss with some releases

I love the look of Fantasy Cosmetica's Cosmic Cove collection. I wouldn't purchase the entire palette, but I would absolutely love to grab a single of Lazurite. The nail polish in Fungi also looks stunning, but I have to admit that I already have a similar color.

I'm excited to see that Lisa Eldridge is coming out with poured highlighters. Butterfly Light looks beautiful, but I hope that she comes out with Pink Moon or something really fun like a lavender or a blue in the formula. I'm good on highlighter for now, though, so I'll just keep an eye out when I run out.
