Get out your bicycles and your red hoodies because four decades after its release, E.T. is back. However, this time you won’t find everyone’s favourite extraterrestrial on the big screen. On the inside of a Flower Beauty eyeshadow palette however? Absolutely. Taking inspiration from her first ever acting role, Drew Barrymore has released eight “out of this world” matte and metallic eyeshadow shades in honour of E.T’s 40 year anniversary.
After the success of the Flower Beauty x Charlie’s Angels and the Never Been Kissed collaboration, it’s only natural that Drew would want to honour arguably her most iconic (and easily cutest) acting role to date. Closely followed by The Wedding Singer, of course.
So what can we expect? Well, in a video shared to her Instagram, Drew told her followers, “I’m so excited because we put a lot of love into [it].” She then went on to explain that the eyeshadow palette was intentionally designed to look like a DVD case (as we’ve seen with her previous movie-inspired collaborations).
Describing the palette as being “so gorgeous and chic” as well as “quite celestial and galactic,” Drew even went on to reveal which of the eight shades is her favourite of the bunch.
And the winner is? The shimmering navy-hue named ‘ET Phone Home.’
As any drugstore makeup fan would know, Flower Beauty’s Australian stockist is Chemist Warehouse. And while they typically carry an extensive range, we don’t believe the E.T. collab has quite landed down under, yet. However, the second it does arrive, we’ll be over the moon (see what we did there?).
Are you excited to try the E.T x Flower Beauty eyeshadow palette?
I do like the colours and I know the products are affordable, so I will probably end up buying it.
I’ve always been scared of ET. Still freaks my out. So not excited about this at all. Lol. I had to quickly scroll past the pictures of him.
*Me out
they do appear a bit demonic as well.
I suppose he is an alien!
I loved ET
I remember being scared of him too!
yes and Gremlins too lol
Oh Gremlins is on a whole another level! Definitely scary!
I remember being scared but he was so friendly so I could get past it pretty quickly!
That’s understandable. ET is a scary looking character.
40 years?!
That image of Drew Barrymore and ET together is very sweet.
I remember seeing this movie at the drive in theatre. Long time ago.

Interesting shades, do not like the theme, colours look good
Very cute idea but I won’t be buying it.
I’ll be waiting for the Donnie Darko range, haha!
Hahah! Now that would be cool
Could be goth, useful for halloween
I don’t know this movie! Is it horror?
You have to watch -it is not a horror
I shall YouTube it.
I have no idea where we can watch old movies!
I don’t think I’ve seen it either. I’m intrigued now
Where we do we even see old movies?
We don’t have the local Blockbuster store anymore.
The shades are pretty.
very pretty
Yep, so pretty!
How cute, I won’t be buying as I don’t need it.
weird but will appeal to some
The shades look ok
Gertie is very sweet
she sure was so cute
She was so cute!
So sweet!
You forget the Drew Barrymore started so young, so many did. Not watching, not my thing.
maybe this is for halloween
I like the colours.
Drew Barrymore has a beautiful Makeup Line with Flower Beauty. Great to see a New Eyeshadow Plattee. 🏵️
I saw this on Instagram! Such a cute release 🙂
Can you imagine a Wedding Singer palette with 80’s themed colours though? lol
That would be so much fun for themed parties.
😄
Pretty colours but not o my shopping list
on, ugh edit please
I don’t think we have an edit option but I wish we did!
I wonder why my comment above is awaiting for moderation. What was the risky word?
Perhaps the word wish?
Not wish, maybe option?
So the word o p t ion is a risky word.
So I posted the above comment on Friday night and it is now Tuesday morning and it is awaiting moderation still.
Almost a whole week and it is still awaiting moderation.
A whole week and a half later and my comments are still awaiting moderation.
Two whole weeks and it is still awaiting moderation.
I wonder how long does it take the BH team to review the comments?
17 days and it is still awaiting moderation.
Is anyone reviewing these??
Still awaiting moderation from 21 Oct.
Anyone reviewing these comments from BH??
Hooray! So it took 2.5 weeks for my comment to be not awaiting moderation.
And none of my comments above have been awarded any points so that is disappointing.
What cute packaging, and I love the shades.
Not something I’d associate with this
Always liked Drew Barrymore and ET was a favourite.
Wonderful shades and sounds great, very unique and creative.
Oh my gosh, I love this ET palette.
I love this movie, brings so much memories back!
I hadn’t realised she had other specials as well like Charlie Angels! I just have a look for them.
I wonder how much this is?
Wonder when we can buy this here!
She did this with Charlie’s Angels. Can’t say I am fan of it.
I think it’s a cute idea, the colours are nice.
Different but not for me.
No not interested in this, although I loved the movie as a kid this is just another celebrity endorsement money making grab.
I’m not keen on palettes as I find I only use one or two of the colours
Not related to the above article,but I can not see my posts onto the forum . I emailed BH few times already, no reply , maybe someone will see that ? So frustrating, I used to live the forum, now it’s just a headache. I replied to “Having a birthday this week” post to the lovely sunflower cake, can anyone see that post because I can’t. Thanks guys xo
I can’t help thinking that she must have had to pay a LOT for the right to use that imagery and names.
I thought the shades would be a bit bolder.
No I won’t be buying this. I’m sure
It will appeal to some or die hard fans though.
Fun idea!
Very attractive colours.
Celebs will do anything for money won’t they 🙄 I personally don’t see this doing very well sales wise but I could be wrong.
I doubt we’ll see it in Australia – or maybe in a few years’ time lol
40 years, makes me feel old…
Hehe, no you are wise!
Et was one of my favourite movies
Pretty colours in that palette 🙂
Oh wow this is really cool!
