Spot it & Buy it: Physicians Formula Haul! (New Products!)

Great Deals!

Physicians Formula
Recently I was at Rite Aid and I came across the Physicians Formula display! Most of the products had a $5 off instant coupon so I thought it was the perfect time to try out their products. Physicians Formula is on the most expensive side of the drugstore so I've stayed away from it until now. I purchased three fairly new products to the line, mainly because the packaging was adorable haha. I'm so excited about these products and wanted to also tell you guys about a great sale: Physicians Formula is BOGO Free at Target until the 24th, so if you want to give any of their products a try this is the perfect time to do so!
So I was really excited to try out the Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blush... you know me and blush haha. Here's what the packaging looks like:
Physicians Formula
I purchased the color Natural and its a really gorgeous color. What's cool about the blush is that it's made up of four colors that you can use individually or blend together. Now lets talk about the packaging: bows and rose gold, enough said! haha it's really cute and the first thing that drew my attention. This blush retails for $12.95 which is a little high but I got $5 off instantly so that was a great deal. It's a beautiful color when blended and its ideal for everyday wear. Its a really smooth powder and not the most pigmented but it leaves a pretty pink glow on the cheeks that I love! Here are the swatches:
Physicians Formula
The first swatch is the color when blended and then the individual colors. Initially there's a highlight over spray on the blush but it goes away after using it. I love the natural, glowing finish it leaves behind!
In the same line as the blush I purchased the Nude Wear Glowing Nude Powder in medium. I first thought this was a highlight but really its targeted to be more of a finishing powder/veil. I haven't worn it as an all over face powder but it does make a great subtle highlight! The packaging is just like the blush just a bit bigger.
Physicians Formula
It has a nice combination colors for those times when you're in between shades. It retails for $14.95 and for what it is I think it's a product you can skip. I love my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder for only $4 so this product isn't a must have. I'll continue to use it up but just wouldn't recommend it. Here are the swatches:

I did save the best for last in this little haul. The Shimmer Strips All-in-1 Custom Nude Palette for face and eyes is a multifaceted product and I love it! I've used it almost everyday since I purchased it and its the one product that I highly recommend! Here's what it looks like:
Physicians Formula
I purchased mine in Natural Nude and it impressed me! I love how versatile it is: it's a perfect cheek highlight and a great inner corner highlight to brighten up any eye look! This product retails for $13.95 and honestly this would be the one product of the three that I would repurchase at full price because its that amazing! All the colors are nicely pigmented and look great all over the lid. Here are the swatches individually and by row:
Physicians Formula
This palette will suite many skin tones. It's perfect for travel too. I'm pretty happy with this one and can't wait to try other colors!
 
Bottom line: I would highly recommend the shimmer strips! The blush is also really pretty but you can get the same effect with a more affordable blush like the Mineral Blushes from ELF. The powder was my least favorite, it just didn't do anything special for me. Make sure to take advantage of the Target sale going on right now so you can get a great deal. What's your favorite Physicians Formula product? Leave me a comment down below! :-)
