Swatch & Review: Physicians Formula Nude Wear Glow Nude Blush: Rose

Physicians Formula always comes out with the cutest products this time of year. I just couldn't resist the rose gold bow packaging of this blush. It was literally calling out to me in Rite Aid and hey, who am i not to answer? There are two blushes and two face powders in the collection but the colors in this blush caught my eye. They faintly resemble the Givenchy Le Prisme powders that are oh so expensive. 

Back to the packaging, the compact is a nude textured square compact with a compartment on the bottom that houses the cutest little rose gold brush. I will actually keep this brush because it is just so cute.

I haven't tried too many of the Physicians Formula face power products so I wasn't sure what to expect but i was pleasantly surprised. The Nude Wear logo is a shimmer overspray that disappears after the first use. The color underneath is beautiful though. When swirled together a pretty peachy pink color is obtained. 

Here is a swatch of just the shimmer overspray.

And this is the powder after the overspray is removed.

Each color swatched separately 

And swirled together

Overall I am very happy with this product and I will definantely keep my eye out for more of the Physicians Formula Powders from now on. 

Retail: $12.99 at Drugstores

Swatch & Review: NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colors

So these have caught my eye recently and last night while I was at CVS I saw that all NYC products were Bogo 50% so I finally went for it. These lippies are $3.99 a piece and with the Bogo 50% they came down to $3.00 a piece. You can't beat it. Here are the six I bought: 

So far I'm impressed with these. The colors are bright and they feel creamy on the lips. Have you seen these around your area? They're worth picking up.

Walgreens Haul (New 2014 Products)

I hit the jackpot when I went to Walgreens today. I found a whole untouched display of the new Wet n Wild Fergie Centerstage 2014 Collection. I picked up four of the new Vicious Varnish Lip Stains. These are amazing! The pigmentation is incredible for being $3.99. I am so impressed with these four and I definantely want to go back and pick up some more.

I also found the new Take on The Day Mattifying Powder, also from the Fergie collection. I heard this was supposed to be a dupe for the Nars Reflecting Powder so I had to pick it up. I have not tried the Nars Powder but i am looking forward to playing around with this Fergie one. I hope it works well. 

I also found a new display from Covergirl with jumbo gloss balms, nail polishes, and lipsticks. I'm not sure if this display is limited edition or not but I had to pick up two of the lipsticks. These are beautiful nudes. 256 Creme is a light peachy nude and 258 Honeyed is a pinky nude. These colors are not terribly unique but I love me some nude lipsticks so I knew they had to be mine. I have only swatched these so far but they look creamy and pigmented so I cant wait to see how they wear. 

Have you seen or tried any of these new products?

Swatch & Review: BECCA Limited Edition Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector

I was given a gift card to Sephora for Christmas and I knew exactly what I was going to spend it on. I've had my eye on this beauty for over a month now but just never pulled the trigger. The BECCA Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector ($38.00) is an absolutely stunning highlighter. According to Sephora:

"This creamy powder luminizer is like crushed gemstones in a compact for refined luminosity in any light. The formula features ultrafine luminescent pearls that adjust and become one with your skin so your perfect glow is never lost. Unlike the traditional pressed powder method, which simply mixes and compresses dry ingredients, this proprietary formula is a blend of wet and dry pigments ensuring a balanced application every time. "

I am in love with this product. It does almost feel like a cream product when applied to the skin. This product gives such a luminous glow that makes you look like an angel (even when you may not act like one). I need to check out more from this line. 

Have you tried this or anything from the BECCA line?

MAC Extra Dimension Blush: At Dusk

I was killing some time at Nordstrom yesterday and I just happened to find the new collection with the Extra Dimension products. There were blushes, eyeshadows, and skim finishes. This blush caught my eye right away. At Dusk is a beautiful light pink blush with a sheen that is absolutely stunning. This blush lights up the cheeks and makes your complexion look amazing. I am kicking myself for not grabbing more from this collection but I will definantely keep my eye out for anything with the Extra dimension finish to it in upcoming collections. If you can find this at your local MAC pick this up, you won't be disappointed.
