Physicians Formula Makeup Review

I love makeup! When I first started my gluten free journey, I never realized that makeup and skin care products contained gluten! Go figure! I am always on the look out for good gluten free makeup that won't make me break out or make my skin oily.

Physicians Formula kindly sent me these 3 makeup products to review! I was super excited because I have never tried these 3 products before.
They sent me the Organic Wear BB Cream in shade Light/Medium. I love a good BB Cream. It's what I use most days because it's so easy and provides great coverage. The Organic Wear BB Cream has 100% natural origin and contains SPF 20. On the package it claims to have 70% organic ingredients. It is made of coconut water and extracts, willow bark extract, plus natural minerals. It claims to hydrate, smooth, nourish, conceal, repair, even out, prep & prime, and protect in one simple step. It is free of harsh chemicals and GMOs, preservative free, color and fragrance free, 100% paraben free, and 100% cruelty free. Non-comedogenic, gluten free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist approved. It retails for $14.95 and is available in two shades: Light and Light/Medium. Not a bad price for a BB cream that claims to be organic and healthy for your skin! The first thing I noticed when applying the BB Cream is that it is really thick and creamy. You only need a dime size amount to apply to your whole face. It blends nicely and provides medium coverage. It is really smooth and not oily at all. It has a hint of coconut scent to it, which I loved! I really, really loved this! I have been using it every day for the past 2 weeks and will definitely be purchasing it again. It is great for every day wear and it stays pretty nicely throughout the day. This is my new go to drugstore BB Cream for sure! I loved everything about it.

The next product they sent me is the Bronze Booster in the shade Medium/Dark. The Bronze Booster is a 24k Gold Highlighter and 24 Hr. Wear Bronzer. It is formulated with exclusive Glow Activator Technology, which is a custom infusion of vitamins, moisturizers, and antioxidants that will help enhance and extend the life of your tan glow. The Bronze Booster claims to give you a sun kissed glow that lasts up to 24 hours. It is stain free, streak free, orange free, odor free, gluten free, paraben free oil free, dermatologist approved, and hypoallergenic. When I opened up the package, I noticed the bronzer was so pretty! It has a little sun in gold, which is the highlighter, and the rest is the darker shade bronzer. I used the highlighter around my under eyes, on the middle of my forehead and on my chin. I then filled the bronzer in on my cheeks and around my hair line and jaw line, and blended it all in together. I really loved this product! It provided a nice sun-kissed glow and wasn't orange looking at all. I'm always so worried about looking orange, you know like you have a "fake" tan! I hate that! This product really is amazing and is a great bronzer. I'll definitely buy it again.

The last product they sent me was the Organic Wear Curl & Care Mascara. You know me, I am always looking for a great mascara! This products claims to curl your lashes without needing a lash curler. And it claims to lengthen and thicken your lashes as well. And it says it will last up to 24 hours! The brush is rubbery and curved, it kind of looks like a banana shape. It also has a hint of green tea scent, because it is made with green tea. I kind of liked the scent, it was very fresh smelling and nice. Let me just tell you, this mascara is AMAZING! It made my lashes so long and it was so easy to apply. I like to apply 2 coats to give it a nice, full look; but even with 1 coat it did the job! This is definitely a mascara I will be purchasing often at the drug store.

Overall, I truly LOVE Physicians Formula! I have used many of their products before and never had a complaint yet. These 3 products that I received worked so well together and it makes me happy knowing they are all gluten free and healthy for my skin! It is definitely a challenge finding gluten free makeup in the drugstore, but Physicians Formula is definitely the way to go! If you haven't tried these 3 products yet, I definitely recommend you do. You won't be disappointed! To see all of their available products and shop online go to www.physiciansformula.com. You can purchase these products in any drugstore as well, such as Walmart or Rite Aid. What Physicians Formula products are your favorite? I'd love to hear from you!
