A couple of weeks ago, while browsing through the pages of Allure, i spotted the Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blush and fell madly in love with the packaging! I was so attracted to the gorgeous pink on gold hues. The colors and design on this product make completely swoon worthy! I quickly ran to my local drugstore in hopes of spotting this beauty! Lucky for me, i not only spotted this but the bronzer from the same collection that i didn't even realize existed! I couldn't wait to get home to play! I had really high hopes for this blush and bronzer. Sadly, it wasn't love at first sight. The gold, while making the packaging incredibly gorgeous, was very glittery on my skin. While i love glitter on lots of things, my face isn't exactly where i prefer it! Although perhaps in my club hopping days i would have probably been all over this! However, not all love is lost here! Once the top layer of gold wipes away, the underneath color on both products is actually very pretty. The blush is a beautiful pink that adds a soft dose of color to your skin. The bronzer is a warm tone and will give you a pretty glow. The only thing i disliked about the bronzer (aside from the initial gold glitter overload) was the scent. It's a bit too fragrant for my taste. If you like your makeup to smell strongly of perfume, this is for you. If you're sensitive to heavy scents, definitely stay away from the bronzer.
Overall, i'm glad i purchased these because i can never resist gorgeous packaging. Once the top gold layer wipes off (and it does quickly and easily), these argan infused beauties are completely wearable and affordable.

ReplyDeleteThe packaging is very pretty, but that's a bummer the actual product didn't work out after all :(
