Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream Review

Affordable, Makeup Product Reviews0

Greetings, friends! My life somewhat makes sense again, so now I can get back to reviewing lots of products and spilling some tea! I got a new job, and I gotta tell ya, it’s breathing some new life into me. I have time to do my makeup for work now, so I’ve been using a lot of the Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream.

I’ll be honest – I never jumped on the organic and natural makeup craze. I know many YouTubers transitioned their makeup to reflect their new lifestyle choices – veganism, vegetarian, cruelty free, etc. Personally, I can’t afford that, but kudos to everyone that can. The most I can pick and choose is between brands that violate my morals for future purchases.  My mom gave me 2 tubes of Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream, so I figured I’d use ‘em and write a review!

Here’s the product breakdown:

  • Price: $14.99
  • Size: 1.2 oz
  • Claims: 100% of the ingredients in the Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream are of a natural origin and 70% of the ingredients are organic. Revolutionary formula combines the benefits of a BB cream with skin-nourishing natural and organic ingredients with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep skin looking and feeling healthy, hydrated, bright and smooth. Ultra-lightweight, multi-tasking cream delivers all your skin needs for natural perfection: hydrates, smoothes, protects, nourishes, conceals, repairs, evens out, preps + primes.
  • Instructions: Precautions: For external use only. Do not use on damaged or broken skin. When using this product, keep out of eyes. Rinse with water to remove. Stop use and ask doctor if rash occurs. Keep out of reach of children. If product is swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

If I’m wearing this daily, you can tell right off the bat that I love it! I’m not a fan of BB creams in general because I feel like they don’t do anything for my skin. They don’t really have a tint or help powder products adhere to my skin. Foundations felt more comfortable, so I never really owned any BB creams.

The Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream is the exact opposite! It’s my perfect color, so I can easily apply it without worrying I look like a cast member of Jersey Shore. I wear this with the Cover FX Illuminating Setting Powder on top, and it lasts alllll dayyyyy. It also has good enough coverage to cover some minor blemishes and make my face still look like skin.

However, my only qualms with this BB cream are the price and shade range. It’s $15+ with tax….why lmao. It’s a great product, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not a foundation. The BB cream has light to medium coverage, so it’s not ideal for someone with several skin issues. It brings little over an ounce of product, but it’s not enough to justify the price point. I know that Physician’s Formula is one of the most expensive brands at the drugstore, but I’m just not on board the price. And that shade range though…my mom is brown and all of the shades look ashy on her. The beauty market is extensive and isn’t comprised just of 3 shades of white and fake tan. Tbh, I could tolerate the price if the shade range were inclusive. Get with the program, PF!!

I give the Physicians Formula Organic Wear BB Cream a 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m now interested in trying Physicians Formula’s new foundation, and the shade range is a huge improvement (but it’s not enough)!

Have you tried this BB cream or any for that matter? Have you tried any other Physicians Formula face products?

Wet N Wild Gel Polish Review

Affordable, Makeup Product Reviews0

Long time no see… ? I didn’t correctly welcome myself back in yesterday’s post! I came back from study abroad and I’m finally getting settled with my blog again! I have lots of interesting things to share. However, let’s focus on some nail polish I’ve been using for quite some time: 1 Step WonderGel Nail Color.

I first bough this nail polish last year when Kathleenlights was raving about it. Disclaimer: whatever Kathleenlights says goes. Naturally, I picked up the first color on the left: Condensed Milk. 

This color, unfaithful to its stickers on the bottle, is a neutral nude polish. It isn’t streaky, but it’s fully opaque with two coats.

The brush tip is pretty large, making it easier to coat the nail with one dip into the bottle. I can get away with painting my smaller nails with one stroke.

As for the wear of this nail polish, it definitely doesn’t last 2 weeks like a typical gel manicure. I can get a good week out of this nail polish without major chips. I get tiny lil chips at the sides and ends of my nails that aren’t noticeable until I examine my nail or look at them in a specific angle.

This nail polish is more suited for those that change their polish color weekly. I’m that person ?? so this polish meets my needs. I only rock nail polish for 2 weeks when I have acrylic nails.

I think the price and color range are excellent. At only $5, you’re getting a nice manicure for a week with nice colors seen at nail salons. Wet N Wild recently added 3 new shades, further catering to the need to have our nails looking fleeky.

If you enjoy weekly, at-home manicures, I give this nail polish a 4/5. If you seek manicures that last at least 10 days without major chips, this won’t be your jam and it’ll be a 3/5.

What nail polishes do you recommend? I can’t stand OPI or Essie ??
