I have lusted after Florasis for so long, but YesStyle didn’t carry it. It’s a gorgeous Chinese brand known for the iconic carved lipsticks and eyeshadows that look like they belong in a museum.

One magical day, I was able to snatch a palette! And now they are available on Amazon, YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT), and Ulta. Florasis Floral Engraving Phoenix Makeup Palette comes in 5 variations - mine is 05 Orchid Mist. 

Florasis promises highly pigmented, exquisite shades with a smooth finish. On paper, it sounds amazing - non-patchy application, long wear, and even some skin-loving botanical ingredients. 

This palette is so beautiful that it was difficult for me to start using it. Swirl my brush and ruin the art? AAAH! But I had to get over that eventually.

My impressions

Womp womp… Either I’m not great at makeup, or this is not a great palette. Is it beautiful? Yes! Easy to use? Not for me. I love the colors when looking at them in the palette, and the designs are fabulous. The entire experience of holding the packaging, opening it, and seeing the glorious contents is magical. However, once I start applying the eyeshadows, the spell ends.

I find the formulas really hard to apply smoothly. The color payoff isn’t great, and it’s all too easy to look patchy. I fully own not being the best at makeup. However, I am not new to eyeshadow and many formulas - Unleashia, Colour Pop, Romand - apply and blend easily. But not Florasis. Re-reading the marketing claims as part of writing this review, I was shaking my head at a lot of them.

Can this be user error? Sure! I tried Florasis Floral Engraving Phoenix Makeup Palette with eyeshadow primer (The Saem), over base cream shadow (Armani eye tint), and by itself. It was not quite what I wanted each time. But I am also not giving up. I love the colors and maybe with time and practice, I can wrangle these shadows into submission.

I am a little disappointed, because at $50+, I expect the formula to be easy to use without much finagling. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by getting lucky with other, more affordable brands.
