Physicians Formula – Happy Booster Glow & Mood Lipstick in “I <3 Rose”

Posted on by

I’m taking a little break from studying for mt Biology Final to bring you swatches on a new lipstick I came across about a month ago. It’s from Physicians Formula. From the Happy Booster collection, they have come out with 2 shades: “I <3 Rose” & “I <3 Nude”. When finding the display of new Physicians Formula products at m local Rite Aid, the “I <3 Rose” shade looked more appealing. The “I <3 Nude” shade looked really orangey and not really my color.

What I love about this lipstick is that it’s quite hydrating. Not as hydrating as the Revlon Butters, but quite close to it. It a really pretty color! What do you think? I don’t think the color is suitable for my skin color, so I don’t wear it that often. Would you guys like me to do a giveaway with this lipstick? Let me know in the comments below! If I get at least 5 comments on this post, telling me to do a giveaway with this lipstick, I will!

Till next time!

A Little Update

Posted on by

 

Hey guys!

Sorry I’ve been away for a while, things have been so hectic lately. I’m taking a winter class of just Biology, 4 hours everyday, & it’s killing me! But, in 2 weeks it’ll be all over!

I have a few products to review for you guys when my Biology class ends.

1. Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Lipstick in “I <3 Rose”

2. Rimmel London Eyeshadow in English Rose

I’m thinking of getting a couple of the Maybelline Color Tattoos & I am going to try out the Nuance by Salma Hayek Skincare line. Would you like me to review those here? Let me know in the comments below!

So right off the display looks amazing right? Thicker eyeliner pencils with great packaging and great colors. Right? Right? Here’s a closer look at each package:

 

Brown Eyes

(Brown, Purple, Black)

Blue Eyes

(Blue, Brown, Black)

Green Eyes

(Green, Purple, Black)

Hazel Eyes

(Taupe, Pinkish-Purple, Black)

Comparison to Shimmer Strips Black Eyeliner

Though the pigmentation is amazing, and Physician Formula says that these eyeliners are 100% waterproof. From my experience working with these eyeliners, they have no staying power whatsoever! I couldn’t believe it! The smudge test was me smudging the colors very lightly. It comes right off! I will be returning these eyeliners, because they didn’t work with me whatsoever! It makes me sad… I currently own the regular trio for Hazel Eyes and I love them! This product sadly just doesn’t work for me. Another drawback of this product is that it doesn’t retract like the Shimmer Strips eyeliners. Therefore it has less amount of product & wearability than the Shimmer Strips eyeliners. All in all, I would say don’t get it! It’s not worth it.

This is a recently new product, and it’s slowly coming into CVS. It will probably come into Rite Aid & Target soon. It retails for around $11, but it comes with a $2 coupon that you can use when you buy this product. Also when you buy this product you get $5 back on your receipt. So it’s like you get a $5 “gift card”. This $5 only counts when you buy this product at CVS, though.

So will you be purchasing this Eyeliner Trio? Do you like the kajal eyeliners? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!! <3
