WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
A little while ago, I did a short overview review of this company here. In this review, I'll go more in depth about each of the products that I have tried in this kit and explain why I am so in love with the face products from Physicians Formula. I actually got this kit on sale at Wal-Mart when it was only $20 CAD for all three products! AMAZING! However, when purchase separately, each products is around $15-$20 CAD, which is pretty expensive for drugstore makeup.
Mineral Wear® Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder
Colour: Creamy Natural
Net Wt. 0.3 Oz./9g
Cost: $19.99 CAD
This is my favourite face powder of all time. It's very pigmented and it has amazing coverage. I use my favourite BB cream as base and then I would finish with this face powder. The colour matches really well with my skin tone and I love how it's mineral, thus, it does not cause me to break out. I've been using this for over 2 years now and my skin has improved a great deal ever since because this product does not clog pores. This product is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, oil-free, talc-free, non-comedogenic and dermatologist approved. The only downside that I see to this product is that the brush that comes with the powder really sucks. It sheds really easily and it's not that great at blending. Thus, I could suggest that you throw away the brush and put your own powder puff/sponge inside the powder. I find that when I use a sponge to apply the powder, it actually goes on quite nicely. It is also nice that the powder comes with a really nice mirror. Not one of those tacky and cheap mirror, I've dropped this powder many times and the mirror has not broke nor has it even cracked. It's quite a sturdy mirror.
Mineral Wear® Talc-Free Mineral Blush
Colour: Rosy Glow
Net Wt. 0.19 Oz./5.5g
Cost: $15.99 CAD
This is one of most pigmented blush that I own. I'm so in love with the colour because it gives my cheeks a really natural glow. It blends so nicely and it's easy to apply. However, just like the powder, it comes with that horrible brush. I would once again ditch the brush and use your own makeup brush to apply the makeup. The bristles on the brush is very cheap and really hard. It doesn't feel nice when you use it on your skin. (Seriously, I hate Physicians Formula's brushes). However, besides the brush, the product is amazing! This is probably one of my favourite blushes, that's a drugstore brand. It is a bit pricey, but considering that it is mineral and won't clog pores, I think it's worth the purchase.
Mineral Wear® Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil
Colour:
Net Wt. 0.58 Oz./16.5g
Cost: $18.79 CAD
This product acts as a finishing veil to your makeup. Applying this product in the end will not only set your face makeup, but it'll also give it a matte finish. I wouldn't suggest wearing this alone as a powder, even though you can, because it doesn't have great coverage. I would just use this as a finisher. However, I really, really, hate the packaging of this product. Like I had mentioned earlier about the powder and blush's brush, this brush that comes with the finisher also sheds like crazy. I really hate it because you can't really replace the brush. Also, when capping the lid back on, it's really hard to put the brush in without bending some of the bristles. It's really annoying. Also, the product is really big and hard to carry around. I would suggest taking a smaller container and empty out the finisher into it and use that instead.
RATING
Product (5/5) - The products themselves are one of a kind!
Cost (3/5) - I find most of Physicians Formula's makeup to be pretty pricey considering that they are a drugstore brand. If you don't catch a sale, most of the products will be over $20 CAD when added with the tax.
Ease of Use (4/5) - Just because the brush is horrible to use.
Packaging (2/5) - Like what I had mentioned above, the brush that comes with the product really sucks. Also, most of the products are really big and chunky. I find that it's hard to put some of these products in my makeup bag because they take up most of the space.
