Crystal Unicorn Series and Strawberry Rococo Series

Flower Knows 2022 Spring Summer Crystal Unicorn Series features newly designed molds but continues the ultimate fantasy from the 2022 Unicorn Series! This series contains 21 SKUs and 5 categories: lip gloss, embossed blush, embossed pressed setting powder, hand mirror, and stippling brush.

Unicorn crystal lip gloss forms a film and its brightness is comparable to lip honey. Moreover, it is not sticky. One or two coats on bare lips will quickly complete the look. Crystal unicorn embossed blush with intricate workmanship consists of shell luster technology, so the whole package appears very bright in the light. The embossed interior material is a design of a unicorn palace. Flower Knows has also made an adjustment to the powder, to make sure the color is exactly right. It also has a silky-smooth texture.

Unicorn powder, like blush, combines shell pattern technology. When opened, you can see the relief of the powder. There is also a separate layer for storing the powder puff, which is hygienic and portable.

The Strawberry Rococo Series took the company six months to complete the design process from drawing to molding to material testing.

Flower Knows uses the lovely strawberry fruit and Cupid as the main elements, combined with the “elegant and delicate” courtly style of the 18th century Rococo period to bring a stunning visual impact.

The design of the Cloud Lip Cream is inspired by vintage perfume bottles. The embossing and the bow on the packaging is exquisite and lovely, making the product more unique.

The ingredients used for the cloud lip cream were selected from dozens of different choices from over four factories. Its texture is light, soft, and cloud-like as the name suggests.

The gorgeous five-color gemstone shaped eyeshadow palette are very courtly, and the design of both the outer case and the inner palette are incredible. Flower Knows has upgraded the eyeshadow powder to be silky smooth and highly pigmented, while adhering easily and blending evenly. The shimmer is a creamy texture that makes the eye makeup more sparkling and dynamic while being more flattering to the skin.

Flower Knows’ next target is to step up its presence in the markets of Europe and America after its success in Japan and Southeast Asia. With the goal to bring consumers the newest products, as well as worry-free returns and exchanges, the brand will give customers a a new taste of chic cosmetics.
