Physicians Formula Mineral Airbrushing Blush SPF 30 (Review)


This is Physician Formula's Mineral Airbrushing Blush in the shade "Rose".
These are available in many drugstores for around $12 each. There are two shades available for this blush. This blush has a satin finish. Physicians Formula claims that these contain SPF 30.

Opinion: This is a gorgeous blush! I can't emphasize it enough. I got this on sale for more than half off the price. It's a great everyday blush. The thing is, you have to really be careful with this and only tap your brush on the product because it's super pigmented. I have a warm medium skin tone and this is a little too much for me if I apply it on without tapping my brush. Also, it could get a little too powdery. That's all that I see wrong with it. Other than that, I think it's such a beautiful high quality blush. It also has SPF 30 which is great! You're getting beautiful pigmentation along with sun protection. It's a bit too expensive for a drugstore price but for the quality, it's pretty worth it. Plus, Physicians Formula always have deals and coupons on their products anyway so you can definitely get this for a much lower price. I definitely recommend this!

GRADE: 9/10
I don't have any problem with this other than that it could get a little messy from the powder. It's a great drugstore blush!


SWATCHES:

Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad (Review)

This is Physicians Formula's Matte Collection Quad Eyeshadow in "Canyon Classics"
There are 3 different shades of this product and this one, I believe, is the one with taupe shades. This product is around $7 in drugstores. It's an all matte palette.

Opinion: I really like this palette. It's very pigmented and the texture of the eyeshadows are very buttery. I think the price is very reasonable. Sometimes you can even get coupons to reduce the price. You get 4 beautiful wearable shades that would look great on many different skin tones. I don't usually wear all matte eye looks but I used this for blending out shimmery eyeshadows so it doesn't look too much on the lids. As you guys can see below, the swatches are pretty good. The white one is a little powdery but just tap off the excess on your brush and it's all good.

Grade: 8/10
Only because some of them a little bit too powdery and it could be a mess to work with sometimes but when it comes to the quality itself, I have no problem with it. Also, the colors are put together wonderfully. It could make a full look by itself.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrush Bronzer SPF 30 (Review)


There are 2 available shades for this product: Light Bronzer, Bronzer. This product is talc-free and has SPF 30. The powder is ultra-fine and supposed to visibly reduce fine lines, pores, and wrinkles.

Product Name: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrushing Bronzer
Price: $13.95
Net Weight: 0.11 Oz/ 3.0g
Available At: Target, Walmart, Drugstores, Ulta, physiciansformula.com
Claims: "Hypoallergenic. Fragrance-Free. Paraben-Free. Gluten Free. Dermatologist approved. Non-Comedogenic." (according to physiciansformula.com)
Texture/Finish: Airbrush/ Satin Finish.
Scent: No scent.
Packaging: Beautiful metallic blue at the bottom with clear cover.


Opinion: I like this product. I'm allergic to talc, that's why I didn't really have a problem with this. I really love the finish it gives on my skin. As you can see at the bottom picture, it gives a beautiful glow to the skin without being powdery. However, you have to work with this product carefully because it is VERY PIGMENTED. You only need to tap your brush onto the product to get enough for one side of your face. Another thing I like about this bronzer is that it does what it says. It looks airbrushed on the skin. You don't have to rub the brush harshly on your face to blend it out. It just looks like a natural tan on your skin. Lastly, I think it lasts for about 5 hours which is not bad.

The only thing that I don't really like about this product is that it could get a little messy on the packaging. I suggest to just tap on the brush because if you swipe it, it could get a bit powdery. Although it doesn't show the powdery-ness on your face, I really like a clean makeup area. Also, the packaging is too thick. It's not really good for just throwing in your purse. Other than that, I think the product itself is worth the shot.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Bronzer in Bronzer
Grades:
-Pigmentation: 5/5
Highly pigmented, a little goes a long way which means this compact will last you a very long time.
-Texture: 3.5/5
I don't like how powdery it could get when working with it.
-Longevity: 4/5
It lasts for several hours but definitely not all day. It might be a problem for other people but for me it's not since I don't really like wearing makeup all day.
-Price: 5/5
I think it's reasonable since it could last you a very long time. Just a suggestion, wait for drugstore deals. Physicians Formula products usually go on sale for 40% off.

Overall: 4.5/5
This product is really great for the summer. It gives such a healthy glow to the skin and a very natural tan. I highly recommend this to people. You can look great while being protected from the sun's harmful rays with SPF 30.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Pressed Powder



Product Name: Physicians Formula Talc-Free Airbrushing Face Powder SPF 30
Price: $13.95
Net Weight: 0.26oz/7.5g
Available at: Target, Walmart, Drugstores, Ulta, physiciansformula.com
Claims: "Hypoallergenic. Fragrance free. Paraben free. Non-Comedogenic. Dermatologist approved"According to physiciansformula.com
Texture: Fine powder, satin finish
Scent: Just smells like powder.
Packaging: Plastic compact with two levels. Top level has a product. Bottom level has a brush and a small mirror. 

There are 3 available shades of this powder (Translucent, Creamy Natural, Beige)


Opinion: I actually really like this product very much. Although its not my current shade, I can still work with it. How I use it is I dust it lightly onto my face to set my foundation. It doesn't cake up as long as you don't pack it on. Sometimes, I use this alone. It has a great coverage but it could look cakey. I also don't like the smell. It kind of smell like old powder. The packaging is beautiful. I really love the color of the bottom of the compact. The only thing I don't like about it is how big it is. It's not really travel friendly. I think they could have made the compact thinner. Other than that, this powder gives a beautiful satin finish. It doesn't make me look flat at all. I really love how it provides SPF.

Overall, it's an OK powder. There's nothing really special about it. But, with my sensitive skin, it's great to find powders that won't break me out and this is one of them. If I ran out of this, I probably wouldn't repurchase it. It's good but not the best. I would, however, recommend this to people with sensitive skin like me. Especially those who are sensitive to sunlight.

Grades:
-Pigmentation: 5/5
Great coverage.
-Texture: 4/5
 Smooth, satin finish but can be cakey if applied heavily.
-Longevity: 4/5
It last for about 3 hours when worn alone.
-Price: 3/5
I think it's too expensive for a drugstore powder.

OVERALL: 4/5
I'm not too crazy about this one but not a bad product at all.

Bargain Alert: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Flawless Airbrushing Kit



This Physicians Formula retails at Target for $19 which is not bad considering that if you break the products down separately, it would cost almost $40. Anyway, it's already cheap as is, but watch out for boxes that has $10 OFF coupon attached to them. I found one and I immediately picked it up. That means that I only paid $10 for 3 FULL-SIZED products. Such a great deal. I hope you guys find this at your local drugstores. It's definitely a steal. From the swatches I've made, I can see that they perform very well.



I will be doing a review in the future on these products separately.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Glossy Stains (Review)


ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
Each tube retails for $9.95 each and is available in local drugstores. Each tube also has 0.2 fl oz/6mL of product. The packaging is much like of a regular lip gloss tube. The product is in a glass where you can see its color and the cap/handle is a red chrome. This, like the other products in the collection also has the black ribbon with stiletto charm. The applicator is a wide paddle doe foot. 
The product is supposed to give a very pigmented color to the lips, but at the same time giving it a stain on the lips and has a glossy finish.

Claims: Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten Free.Dermatologist Approved. (according to physiciansformula.com)



The shades I have are:
- (top) Red
- (bottom) Hot Pink




I would rate this product 5/5

First Impression:
This is definitely my favorite product out of the whole collection. It's sheer with the first swatch but it is definitely buildable to match the color that is shown on the tube. The wide paddle doe foot brush makes the application even and easy to do. Physicians Formula claims that this product will make you feel sexy and it definitely did for me! I used the Red shade for a whole day and I showed my lips off to everyone that passed by me. I had to reapply this product at least twice throughout the day which is actually great. When I took it off, it left a natural tint on my lips. I definitely recommend everyone to try this out. You won't be disappointed. I really wish they had more colors.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Bronzer (Review)


ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
This bronzer is available at local drugstores for $13.95 and contains 0.24oz/7g of product each. This is part of Physicians Formula's new collection called "Sexy Booster". The packaging on this is exactly like how the blush is packaged; red satin with black fishnet and black ribbon with stiletto charm. The bronzer has a bustier imprinted on the product itself. The compact closes magnetically.
This product has the scent of warm vanilla and it is supposed to give you a "Pheromone-Boost"

Claims: Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten Free. Oil-Free. Dermatologist Approved. Non-Comedogenic. (according to physiciansformula.com)



The shade I have is "Bronze"


I would rate this product 4.5/5

First Impression:
I really fell in love with this product when I swatched it. It gives such a beautiful golden glow to the skin. The small deduction to my rating is based on the pigmentation. I had to give it 2 layers for it to really show. But even though it is not very pigmented, I would definitely still recommend this to women of color. I think it would look most beautiful to women with darker skin tones. It gives a very natural glow to the face. It's more of a highlighter rather than bronzer to me. Either way, it's an amazing product.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Blush (Review)


ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
This product is available at most drugstores for $11.95 each and has 0.19oz/5.5g of product. Physicians Formula claims that this products has a "Pheromone Boosting Blend & Seductive Scent" which is just warm vanilla scent. The packaging is beautiful! it reminds me of a sexy lingerie. It's a red satin with black fishnet over it. It closes magnetically. It has a ribbon with a stiletto charm. The blush itself has a stiletto imprinted on it. The blush comes with a brush and a decent sized mirror at the back.

Other claims: Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten Free. Oil-Free. Dermatologist Approved. Non-Comedogenic. (according to physiciansformula.com)


The shade I have is "Rose".

I would rate this product 4/5

First Impression:
At first I didn't like it because I thought it was too much shimmer and very light for me. I got the darker shade out of the two shades they have available and it was still too light. But I let it set on my face for a few minutes and it actually looks really good. It's a highlight and a blush in one and it looks great! I definitely recommend everyone to buy this. The only thing I don't like is the color selection they have. The one that I have is the darker one out of the two and I think that anyone that has a darker skin tone than me won't be able to enjoy this. 

Here is a swatch of the product:


Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Collection


*I bought these products myself and I did not get paid for my opinion.
