It is with such enthusiasm that I introduce the latest product creations from Physicians Formula. Products that are truly worthy of being included as my top picks this year for my Holiday Glamour and Gift Giving Guide. The products can be found at almost any drug store, mass merchant or online beauty website that you can think of at prices that won't even make a dent in your wallet. These newest beauty products from Physicians Formula will not only bring out your best face, but they make ideal stocking stuffers, you know, those last minute little must haves to complete your holiday shopping. So without further ado, let me share with you some background on Physicians Formula, a most outstanding innovative company:
{Adapted from the Physicians Formula Website}
Only from Physicians Formula can you find the latest, innovative products made especially for sensitive skin. As the experts in bringing color correction to the masses (a concept previously used only by makeup artists), Physicians Formula continues to introduce unique and easy-to-use products that will help you hide those nasty imperfections and uncover a more beautiful-looking complexion. You can also look to Physicians Formula to introduce the latest department store concepts but without the department store price tag!
But this isn’t done at just any cost. From its inception in 1937, Physicians Formula remains steadfast in its pledge to create and manufacture high-quality, hypoallergenic cosmetic and skin care products. It is committed to creating innovative products that meet your specific needs while meeting the more rigorous standards of the cosmetic industry. In fact, many Physicians Formula products are so gentle that they are recommended by allergists, dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
The term hypoallergenic is more than just a cosmetic claim for Physicians Formula. It is the basis for every product that is created. Physicians Formula honors this claim through stringent product testing and quality control. In fact, Physicians Formula products are formulated without over 100 known irritating ingredients still found in many cosmetics on the market today.
However, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion for your face. Although every Physicians Formula product is made with all the seriousness needed to produce gentle formulas, it is also created with all the fun and glamour that makes cosmetics the pleasure of women everywhere!
Company History
Behind This Makeup Lies A Love Story
Physicians Formula Cosmetics began as a gift of love. He was an eminent allergist. She had sensitive skin. When Dr. Frank Crandall created a unique line of cosmetics for his wife, he changed the face of cosmetics.
Physicians Formula was born of a steadfast pledge to purity. A promise never to allow fragrance, PABA, or any of the 132 known skin irritants into anything we make. Other makeup and skin care products may have included these ingredients, but our cosmetics had to be gentle enough that the doctor's wife could wear them.
For over 70 years we have maintained Dr. Crandall's commitment to product purity and quality. Allergists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and plastic surgeons recommend Physicians Formula products.
MY REVIEW
The generous folks at Physicians Formula sent me four of their latest products to review. I am already a huge Physicians Formula lover, so this is a very special treat for me. The four products they sent me did not disappoint me. After using them for the past few weeks, they just made me covet the brand even more, I am so very impressed!
These are the products I am so thrilled to tell you about:
Price: $14.95

To accentuate and contour apply more over cheekbones. For the most even application, be sure to tap excess powder from brush before applying.
MY THOUGHTS:
I was sent the Light to Medium Shade and it is perfect for my skin tone. I love a terrific bronzer, but I don't want to look like I am wearing a bronzer. I want the bronze effect to be subtle and natural. This quad of colors provides me with that healthy, slightly sunkissed look, without making my skin look like a fake, caked on tan. It has that ever so discernible shimmer to give my skin that look of radiance and health! Something my face really needs this time of year now that my summer glow has faded.
This ultra-lightweight bronzing powder glides on smoothly, delivering a healthy looking tan glow. Each combination of color features a luminous gold tone in the center that can be used to add highlights to the complexion, or blended with any bronze tone for the ultimate bronze glow. The mistake proof formula delivers a bronze boost that is stain free, streak free and odor free.
Formulated with unique Glow Activator Technology, a custom infusion of vitamins, moisturizers and antioxidants, the Bronze Booster Glow Boosting Season to Season Bronzer allows for Triple Action Bronze Boosting that helps enhance your tan glow while improving skin's clarity and luster.
This luxe bronzer compact contains dual compartments, one to store a custom bronzer brush uniquely designed to apply one shade or blend all four shades together perfectly, the other compartment, a mirror to guarantee flawless results with each use.
The product is so easy to apply, you receive the double shaped custom brush that enables you to effortlessly apply just the right amount of product and sculpt the product on so it looks professional yet natural. I am stuck on using the Winter and Spring shades right now, as my skin is fair, but at night for my holiday parties I will swirl the brush over all four shades for a more intense effect at night, went the bright light of sun is not on my face and I can get away with a bit more bronzing look.
You are in control of how much or how little bronze color you want. This is a no fail bronzer. The colors are so lovely and natural, they will work with your complexion and you can tailor the shade you desire so easily. I adore this product!

As part of Happy Booster's ground breaking collection, this lipstick combines color therapy, texture therapy and aroma therapy to deliver a beautiful sensorial experience.

This is the 1st ever triple core lipstick created that is designed to stimulate inner happiness and outer kissable, luscious lips. The three perfectly coordinated shades blend together to add rich, moisturing luminous color to your lips.
I enjoy wearing lipstick because without it my face seems to be missing that final element of pop. Adding a pretty shade of lipstick to my lips brings my face to life and completes the level of glow I strive to achieve. This splendid Rose colors works beautifully with the bronzer and blush and provides my lips with just the right amount of color, shine and rich moisture that keeps my lips comfortable all day.
The collagen boosting peptides in this lipstick keeps my lips smooth so they look plump, healthy and luscious! The sweet scent and slight flavor of violet provides me with a feeling of joy each and every time I apply it. The color makes me feel sexy, feminine, youthful and flirty! Feelings I want to experience. Now I want this lipstick in the Nude Shade as well. It is sensational!
Lastly, the eyes, the windows to our soul:
Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner, Universal Looks
Price: $10.95
Available in: Smoky Eyes, Nude Eyes, Fashionista Eyes and Casual Eyes
DESCRIPTION:
* Get the Smoky Look for ANY Eye Color!
* Sultry and smoldering shades create gorgeous Smoky Eyes.
* Wet and Dry application for two finishes: wet for dramatic, intense color with ultra long-lasting wear. Transforms shadow into a liner. Dry for a softer result.
DIRECTIONS:
Create the Smoky Eye:
1. Sweep medium shade over lid as base.
2. Apply darkest shade into crease and extend to outer corner of eye. Line eye by smudging darkest shade into upper and lower lash line. To intensify color, wet applicator.
3. Use lightest shade to highlight brow bone.
MY THOUGHTS:
I received the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner Palette in the Smoky eye colors. How appropriate for the holidays! These fashion forward new collections deliver stylish and flattering shades to compliment and enhance all eye colors. It is designed to create runway ready looks that range from Nude to Smoky, Fashionista and Casual inspired fashion moments, the collection features adorable compacts that reflect the personality of each look. A total of nine perfectly coordinated shades with three distinct color trios to create endless possibilities of high performance glamour for 3 times the looks ranging from Natural to Playful to Dramatic are featured in each palatte.
The unique wet-dry formula offers silky blendable shades to color, highlight, contour and line the eyes for illuminating high impact. Use wet for dramatic, intense color with long-lasting wear or use dry for a softer result. Tranform shadows into liner when wet.
I find these makeup artist shades enhance your natural eye color. I am using the top three shades for day time wear and I have been applying them dry using the unique, angled pro-brush applicator that comes with the palette. This special brush allows me to perfectly blend and precisely line my eyes quickly and easily. I am using the center three shades for casual evening wear when we go out, and the bottom three shades for all my holiday parties. I am having so much fun mixing and blending the shades and my eyes have never looked more sexy and alluring!
I find that when I apply the shadows wet, not only am I achieving that ultimate smoky look, but the shadows stay put and last until I take them off. It is also so easy to line your eyes when the shadows are wet using the special angled brush. No mistakes like with liquid liners, this makes it a breeze! When I apply the shadows dry, they look soft and feminine and the color is more subtle and natural. I am one who loves to "play" with color so these shadows are the perfect tools for me to use to follow my creative passion for creating new and unique looks for myself. I can't wait to buy some of the other color palettes so I can enjoy mixing some of those colors with the smoky eye colors.
