PHYSICIANS FORMULA NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2015 ARGAN WEAR, SUPER BB, SHIMMER STRIPS

Hi everyone,


I have some exciting new products in review today for you that were sent over to me from Physicians Formula. I am always happy to review this product line as it is by far one of my favourite brands all around. Every time I wear makeup it includes at least 1-2 items from Physicians Formula. 

So today I have several new products for 2015 to share and I hope you see something you may want try. All though PF is a more expensive brand at drugstore level just remember that often times they have promos for 30-40% off if you check your local flyers within Canada. Also you get what you pay for. I feel PF does not cut any corners and always have beautiful packaging and their powders always have the nicest embossed designs similar to those of some high end luxury brands.

Moving on lets see what`s new

SUPER BB ALL IN 1 BEAUTY BALM CHEEK & LIP
NATURAL PEACH SRP $8.99

This is the first ever beauty balm for cheeks and lips. It offers good for the skin benefits such as vitamin e, white willow bark extract, encapsulated glycerin, perilla ocymoides (Beefsteak plant) fruit extract and luxsil (hollow air filled cosmetic microspheres) which give the product a soft focus effect when applied to the skin. 

I like this product because its very natural looking and my husband felt on the lips it looked really good, creating an over all healthy natural glow. It blends super easy and of course who doesn't love the uber cute spherical packing. I like dual purpose products they are always handy for busy moms like me. When your on the go and don`t want to haul around a bunch of stuff in a big useless purse just pop this in your coat pocket. 

On a side note overly large handbags are known to destroy your back, posture and center of gravity. So if you don`t have to carry one try to avoid it as much as possible.



SUPER BB ALL IN 1 BEAUTY BALM STICK
AVAILABLE IN LIGHT OR LIGHT/LIGHT MEDIUM SRP $12.99

The beauty balm stick is the first of its kind offering up multi-tasking skin perfection. Beauty balm stick has all the same benefits as those mentioned above for the lip and cheek balm, as well as added vitamin C. This balm stick is so creamy and easy to apply and seamlessly melts into the skin and has great coverage. It is quite emollient so I feel this will be a lovely product for those that deal with a lot of dry skin issues. Again another great product to throw in a small bag or coat pocket. I find products are becoming so much more travel appropriate and are taking up far less space no matter how we carry them. 

Here are the 10 benefits that the Super BB line offers which are 
-perfecting
-concealing
-smoothing
-brightening
-moisturizing
-protecting
-firming
-priming + filling
-line-softening
-long-wearing

and rest assured the products are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance free, paraben free, gluten free and dermatologist approved


SHIMMER STRIPS CUSTOM EYE ENHANCING EXTREME SHIMMER EYELINER TRIO
3 FULL SIZE EYE LINERS AVAILABLE IN NUDE OR SMOKY TRIO SRP $11.95

The new eye liner trios offer up some serious pigment and instant glam to any eye look. The trio I received is the Nude which includes Natural (champagne), Playful (pewter), dramatic (black). I am in love with these colours and even though they do amp up an eye look they are very wearable anytime day or night without being to "in your face". These liners glide across the eye with no problem, just don't press to hard as they are quite a soft formulation and the tip will break. The other huge plus for me is that they are a shelf sharpening product which I really do like. Also no harsh ingredients to irritate those pretty eyes.

This is the type of liner you could easily smudge out along the lash line add a dash of mascara and be done with an eye look in under 5 minutes. The swatches I did show just how stunning these colours are, a must try.

Top2Bottom - Pewter, Black, Champagne

The other trio available is Smoky and comes with silver, charcoal & black

The last two products are from the brand new ARGAN WEAR line and I am in love.

I have read several reviews stating that the argan scent is quite strong and it is! but it does settle down upon application, but does linger around, so just be aware before you purchase it if a heady scent is not for you. 

ARGAN WEAR ULTRA NOURISHING ARGAN OIL BLUSH
AVAILABLE IN NATURAL & ROSE SRP $15.99

I just think this blush is so beautiful to look at that I haven't brought myself to dust my brush in it quite yet. I tested a small bit on the back of my hand. I noticed right away that this blush has a super smooth, light weight, velvety texture to it. 

I received the colour natural, which i prefer because I don't like to rich of a blush colour for myself as I have areas that are damaged from acne scarring. I often feel blush in general tends to emphasis those marks and its not cute. 

What can you expect from this exotic blush??? 

- A beautiful Morocco glow
- 100% Argan oil infused into the formula which will help improve brightness, tone, texture, and elasticity of the cheek skin
-A creamy hydrating luxe feeling thats comfortable on the skin
-gentle non comedogenic, non irritating formula that won't clog pores and is great for all skin types

Also it will look super pretty sitting on your vanity with it's intricate moroccan inspired design. 

Did you know this is the first time Argan Oil infused in to colour is being made available to the mass!

ARGAN WEAR ULTRA NOURISHING ARGAN OIL BB CREAM
AVAILABLE IN LIGHT OR LIGHT/MEDIUM SRP $18.49

This bb cream does something really lovely to the skin, giving that kissed from within glow that I personally think looks fantastic. This can be especially helpful for aging skin, sallow or tired looking skin. It gives the skin an instant rejuvenation. It evens out the skin tone and smoothes the surface and mellows redness nicely.  

Obviously a huge benefit is the 100% argan oil that will moisturize dull/dry skin which is a handy helper right now during these winter months when the air is extremely cold and dry. 

If your worried that the argan oil will make the skin feel greasy, it absolutely does not. I have extremely oily skin and if anything it seems to be balancing that out. In some cases you can fight oil with oil and this is one to try. You may have to powder your t-zone mid day, but over all the complexion looks awesome.

Again gentle, non-comedogenic, non-irritating, won't clog pores and this bb cream is ideal for even the most sensitive skin types.

I love all the products however this new Argan Wear bb cream is my fave item of them all. I really like the Super BB cheek & lip balm, it left nice sheer colour on the lip, but is perhaps better used on the cheeks. I am going to use it on my lips again, but may add some clear gloss on top just to amp up the moisture a bit more as my lips get super dry very easily as a result of a medication I use to take.


So that wraps up my "PHYSICIANS FORMULA NEW RELEASES 2015" post.

I hope you all found it informative in making your purchases the next time you hit up the drug store for new makeup.
