Is Drew Barrymore officially done with her Hollywood career?
The Golden Globe nominee has talked to E! News, explaining that she has been busy with other work.
Although the 40-year-old star has not been on the screen lately, she does have a makeup and cosmetics beauty line called Flower. The business has been rising successfully and is keeping the actress occupied.
Barrymore seems to love her new business because it gives her more time to spend with her kids as well as working. "Flower has changed my life because it lets me be a mom the way I want to be and I still get to do something meaningful and think about girls and women and empowering messages," Barrymore told E! News. "I love movies but the hours right now for where my kids are in their life, it's few and far between that I'll work."
The star is married to art consultant Will Kopelman. The couple has two daughters: Olive, 2, and baby Frankie, 15 months.
Since Barrymore doesn't have much time for her acting career, she has to reject a lot of project offerings in television and film. "Flower beauty is a full-time job," she said. "We do a lot of traveling for it. I do a lot of press. I go to labs all over the country, truly seeking out the most innovative things."
Flower Beauty is sold exclusively at Walmart. It includes makeup as well as fragrances, neither of which are ever tested on animals. All products are made in the USA and are promoted by Barrymore herself.
"Drew is involved and she is involved in every detail," said Carmen Bauza, Walmart's senior vice president of health and wellness. "It's not like she's managing from somewhere out there and has someone else is doing it. I know when it hits the shelves, it's got her seal of approval and that gives me peace of mind."
Barrymore also has a new eyewear line. "The best place for eyewear inspiration is flea markets and then also department stores and then hybridizing the two, seeing what's current and important to people right now and cutting edge and then bringing that vintage feel to it because everything is always repeating itself," Barrymore explained. "Everybody is always pulling from yesteryear."
