You’d think we’d be getting tired hearing about yet another celebrity creating their own cosmetics brand, considering how often we cover celebrity makeup launches in our beauty reviews, but honestly, it still gets us pretty excited.
But like anything else that’s attached to a celebrity name, our expectations are much higher, and so far, florence by mills doesn’t disappoint.
You all know Mille Bobby Brown as Eleven or “El” form Stranger Things. Being as famous as she is, she’s worked with so many different makeup artists, picking up a bunch of tips and tricks to give her the insight on the kind of products she wanted to share with the world.
Named after her great-grandma who truly embraced herself, florence is about making your own rules and defying beauty standards. It’s about exploring to make you feel, live, and have guilt-free fun along the way. It’s about choosing your own happiness by being yourself.
As for the product formula, florence is a dermatologist-tested clean beauty brand made for all skin types. The company has taken away all the dangerous ingredients common in the beauty market and replaced them with antioxidants, vitamins, botanicals, and other clean ingredients. All in all, the brand is:
- Clean
- Cruelty free
- Vegan
- Sulfate free
- Phthalate free
- Paraben free
- Synthetic fragrance free
- Dye free
The environmentally conscious, clean beauty theme is not the only factor that makes the brand appealing to Gen Z’ers. In case you wanted to try before you buy, the company has actually integrated a Virtual Try-On via SnapChat filters, which is pretty awesome, as far as virtual testers go.
Also, part of the proceeds go towards the Olivia Hope Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancers, which totally hits home for Millie since she had a friend Liv that struggled with leukemia.
Whether you’re a Gen Z’er exploring makeup and skincare for the first time, or a Millennial that finds the world of cosmetics pretty intimidating, Millie has done an excellent job in making her beauty products approachable and accessible.
Now onto the products.
