| My Physicians Formula products |
Over the last couple of months I have been fortunate enough to be able to try out a couple of Physicians Formula products due to my US Beauty Swap and thought I share my initial thoughts on the brand with you.

| Pretty powder products (and one mascara) |
When watching YouTube videos and reading blogs I was always inevitably drawn to the super pretty Physicians Formula products with its embossed powders and cutely shaped tubes and containers. I just felt that surely something that looked so pretty would in turn be fantastic to turn yourself into a prettified version.
The Shimmer Strips in "Natural Nude" come in very cute packaging indeed - creamy coloured satin with a black lace/fishnet overlay complete with a little satin bow framing the 9 shades.
The colours contained in this purse- and travel-friendly palette range from a darkish brown right through to a white, shimmery highlighter shade. As expected from a palette named "Shimmer Strips" all shadows are shimmery and it does not contain any matte shades.
The shadows apply very nicely and are easy to blend. They are super soft and have a very smooth texture which is not powdery at all.
I think they are fantastic for you if you - like me - love soft eyeshadow looks.
Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara
Mineral-Wear Talc-Free Minearl Airbrushing Bronzer SPF30
This mascara is very black, creates good separation and goes on smoothly without clumping. It gives a natural yet beautifully enhanced look to my lashes.
I don't even want to think about this running out as I might have to go down the Ebay or Amazon route to repurchase!
The mascara wand consists of short, rubber bristles and it makes application easy for me. I've had not problems with my contact lenses so far which is always a plus!
A great mascara!
Mineral-Wear Talc-Free Minearl Airbrushing Bronzer SPF30
I love this bronzer! It applies evenly and creates a natural, light bronzed look which is just right for my pale skin.
There is a tiny amount of shimmer visible in the pan. However, I do find this does not translate on to my skin and bronzer does apply pretty much matte on me.
I have used this for all-over bronzing and for contouring and was really happy with it for both!

| L - R: Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in "Pink" & "Natural" |
I have got these super pretty blushes in the shades "Pink" and "Natural". I received "Pink" as part of my US Swap and because I loved it so much, I braved Amazon and got it in the shade "Natural" as well.
 |
| "Pink" |
Now I can't say anything about the alleged Mood boosting ingredients... (being of a slightly cynic disposition this is probably just some marketing bampf...). However, the pretty, embossed powder blushes kind of do a great job of cheering me up in the morning.
 |
| "Natural" |
Both blushes give a gorgeous glow to the cheeks! As they are nicely shimmery I can skip my normal cheekbone highlighter.
The blush in "Pink" swirls together to create a pretty, cool-toned pink, while "Natural" is a nice, peachy colour. These blushes are not super pigmented but show up nicely on my pale skin and are easily buildable!
My Verdict
I love all the Physicians Formula products I have tried and I'm really impressed with their face powders. It would be amazing if Physicians Formula launched in the UK as their product selection looks amazing and I'd definitively love to try out more of their range in the future.

Beautiful products! Physicians Formula is very hit or miss for me!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting as my experience with it is currently limited to the products in this post and I'm happy with them (but I guess with all brands there are one's which don't work for everybody or something isn't quite right with the formulation).
DeleteI've always had bad experiences with the brand, but I must admit that I haven't tried any of the products you featured and they all look lovely! Might have to pick up a thing or two :)

Gosh - that's really interesting, especially considering that they are at a higher price point for drugstore products. I'm now wondering whether I was just really lucky with the products I've tried or maybe they have reformulated some of them? (because I found the quality good and consistent with the ones I've tried). (Sorry for the late reply I've just come back from a last-minute skiing break in the Alps without internet)

These products look so good and I keep seeing them on Amazon but they are so expensive. You are so fortunate to have found someone to have swapped with.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm really grateful for the swap for giving me the opportunity to try out these Physicians Formula products (unfortunately this has now given me the confidence to succumb to getting them in different colour options off Amazon...I saw posts about the brand potentially launching in the UK last September but nothing new since then (:)
DeleteApologies for the late response but I've been skiing in France with - unexpectedly - no internet.
