Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blushes and Bronzer Review

Hey friends!!

Today we're talking about a brand I don't really use. Physicians Formula! I don't like to use their products because they do not cater to my darker skinned siblings. They only have two shades? How impractical.

But I received these three products as a gift. So I'm going to use them and review them for any of yall that are interested in them!

From Left to Right we have: "Natural", "Bronze" and "Rose"

These blushes/bronzer are VERY strongly fragranced! There is a super strong, spicy, warm, scent to them. I personally have skin that can tolerate fragrance, but if you have reactive/sensitive skin. Stay away!
  

Here they are swatched on my inner wrist/arm, where I am my palest.

From left to right we have:

Rose: A mauvey plum, with white/silvery sheen/shimmer. Very soft and easy to blend.

Bronze: A shimmery light golden shade. This adds ZERO warmth to my skin. This is a golden highlighter on my NC20/NC25 face, and while I love the sheen it adds. I'm disappointed in the shade.

Natural: Is a satin light cool/blue based pink. This has no visible shimmer in this one, it's just a nice satin finish. Slightly harder to blend then it's shimmery siblings, but still workable!

Price: $15.50 for the blushes, and $19.60 for the bronzer.

Pros: Good blend-ability, soft, non powdery, travels well.

Cons: Zero shades for dark skin makeup lovers, I have to layer it three times to get my desired flush.

Overal: 6/10. I would recommend these for fair skinned pals. But I'm not impressed at all at the shade range.

My favourite Fall/Winter blushes!

I love a good berry, plummy, red blush in the fall/winter! But I get that naturally just stepping outside my front door, as we're in freezing cold Canada! So it's a balancing act trying to find blushes that mimic this look without being super over the top!!

I'm also super heavy handed with blush, so I need a blush that isn't so pigmented I shake in my boots looking at it!!

I like medium coverage, luminous and buildable!

These are my favourite fall/winter blushes, and highlights!

We have starting from the top left:

The Balms Mary Lou-Manizor (Champagne Highlight)
Physicians formula Argan wear Blush in Rose (Light berry)
Clinique Cheek Pop blush in Plum Pop (cool slightly plummy, pink)
Makeup Geek Blush in Soul Mate (Plummy pink)
Sephora brand Baked Luminizor in 01. (Yellow gold)

Starting from top left:

Smashbox Halo blush in Warm glow (Mauvey brown)
Physicians formula Argan wear Bronzer in Light bronze. (Golden shade. this is a highlight on me)
Annabelle Blush in 52 (Light Cranberry shade.)
MAC eye shadow in Cranberry (I hated this as a eye shadow, it was too sheer. So I multipurposed it!)
Clinique Cheek Pop in Cola Pop.



I think only two of these are Matte. And that's because I personally don't like matte blushes, I find them hard to spread out and blend and buff. So I tend to reach for Shimmery/highlighting blushes!!
