REVIEW: Physician's Formula - How Green is Your Makeup?



Physician's Formula wants to know, "How green is your makeup?"

Theirs? 100% ... thanks to their new Organic wear™ line of cosmetics.

  • Natural Goat Hair Brushes

The products:

A 100% natural origin concealer stick, formulated with 72.5% certified organic ingredients, including jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil and avocado oil to moisturize the skin; available in four shades including two color-corrective shades - $ 6.95

The line also includes a blush (in six shades - $ 11.95), a matte finishing/bronzing veil (in four shades - $ 13.95), and a natural powder bronzer. I've purchased the last of those items and offer a review below:

This is a great little product, and for more than just its eco-conscious variables. A 100% natural origin bronzer, formulated with 15% certified organic ingredients, including jojoba seed oil and corn starch to moisturize and mattify the skin. The finest Italian powder delivers a buildable natural tan glow. It includes a mirror and goat hair brush for application ease.

What I like:

  • Comes in six shades easily blended into just about any skin color
  • The compact features a goat hair brush similar in styling to the BeneFit powder box brushes (which I love as perfect shape/size for contouring and such)
  • Includes a great little mirror on the underside of the compact which doubles as a "secret compartment" to hold the brush
  • The top and bottom lids close with ease with a hidden magnet closure, which helps with portability (can carry it anywhere and product won't seep out, brush stays clean)
  • The packaging all-around of this product is masterfully thought out and created
  • I can purchase it, and very reasonably, at my corner drugstore - convenience and affordability
  • The ingredients are not only flattering and effective in fulfilling their purpose, but good for the skin with the organic and natural elements churned right in

What I don't like:

  • It's relatively "stinky"; wish it had a more pleasant aroma (but I can live with it)
