Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrushing Blush for Spring 2013

Physicians Formula extends its Mineral Wear Collection for Spring 2013 with a new Airbrushing Blush and Airbrushing Bronzer. Can I tell you my story of the day…I recently purchased both Airbrushing Blushes and it cost me over $20.

Falls over.

I really like Physicians Formula Blush in general but couldn’t believe it was over $20 bucks to purchase two of them at the drugstore. I’m kinda the frugal gourmet when it comes to drugstore makeup so I always find it a little shocking when I spend that much for products.

Jeepers!

These blushes promise sixteen hours wear with an SPF 30. The finish gives skin a lifted, smoother, and firmer look. All that from a blush? Whoa!

Two shades are available which are Natural and Rose. I think sometimes Physicians Formula makes a mistake with their colors because the same shades are available across the board in their collection. Although formulated differently all of their blushes start running together and looking identical sometimes due to the limit in shades.

SPF 30 in blush sounds like an interesting idea but seriously, for proper protection imagine the amount of blush you’d have to apply!? So SPF becomes pointless on some levels.

The blushes are $10.69 each at Harmons (bound to be more $$$ at CVS, Walgreens, etc) and the Bronzer is $11.19.

Thoughts?

Do share!

P.S. Being a PBS baby I watched the Frugal Gourmet quite a bit but did you ever notice he really WASN’T frugal? I remember his recipes calling for shiz like beluga caviar!

Ha!
