Hey guys!This week I will be reviewing two more BB creams! (Well, one BB cream and one tinted moisturizer). The Physician’s Formula Organic Wear and Revlon’s Photoready. If you read last weeks’ post, you will know I am on the hunt for a great drugstore BB cream. Head over to my L’Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BBCream review to see everything I had to say about that!
Physicians Formula Organic Wear
About the product
This product claims to hydrate, nourish, protect, defend,
sooth, and brighten your skin. It also claims to be 10K proof, gym proof, sweat
resistant, and water resistant. It has 70% organic ingredients. Contains at
kale, carrot, lemon, and quinoa protein blend. As well as a super berry
complex. It’s free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, parabens, GMO’s,
synthetic colors, fragrances, and is cruelty free. It also contains SPF 40.
Impressive, right?!
Price
$13.23 for 1.2 fl. oz at Walmart. This one is one of the
more expensive drugstore BB Creams. I normally really like Physician’s Formula
products so I was eager to try this one!
How I applied it
I applied this product over my CeraVe moisturizer. I used a
beauty blender to apply it evenly all over my face. It was simple and easy to
apply. I was glad I didn’t have to apply this product with my fingers.
Initial Thoughts
The make up itself is a very nice consistency and texture.
It applied very smoothly all over my face. I initially thought that this
product would be too dark for my skin color, but it was a perfect match. It has
a medium coverage and covered my imperfections nicely. It did feel heavy on my
skin (I am not use to wearing liquid make up). I felt as though it was a
similar feeling to sunscreen. It had a very dewy finish (I had to use it with my
BareMineral’s Mineral Veil). It was a little too dewy and heavy for my liking. I
did notice that around my mouth it was making my skin look flakey and dry. I
was hoping that this would go away once my natural oils set in.
8 hours later
The make up didn’t turn orange on me! It controlled my oil
amazingly. I didn’t have any shine on
my forehead or nose for over 8 hours. The make up itself stayed on pretty well,
it had minimal wear. It was comfortable on my face and didn’t cause me any
itching problems. But—my flakey spots were even drier looking. I was not happy
about that. It may have been the very cold weather, but this has never happened
to me before with make up.
Overall thoughts
I had much higher expectations for this makeup! I don’t
think it worked for me. It made me look like my skin was peeling! I feel like
this make up would be great for someone with very oily skin, not combination skin. It defiantly
controlled the oily parts of my face! I think that this make up would work
better for me in the summer months when its hot out and my skin is oilier!
Likes
Paraben free, cruelty free, high SPF, fragrance free, keeps
skin oil free, good coverage, applied easily and smoothly, color was a perfect
match, and cute packaging.
Dislikes
Slightly expensive, and made my skin dry/flakey around my
mouth/cheeks.
Buy/use again?
For now, I am not going to use this product again. I think
that it would be better for me over the summer months when it’s hot! I may try
it again then. I see a lot of pro’s to this product but I just can’t stand the
dry “peeling” skin around my mouth
Revlon Photoready BB Cream
About the product
The packaging on this product was very simple compared to
the Physician’s Formula BB Cream. It claims to be a skin perfector, and has SPF
30.
Price
I bought it for $10.95 for 1 fl. oz at Walmart. This
drugstore BB cream isn’t too cheap!
How I applied it
I applied this product over my CeraVe moisturizer. I used a
beauty blender to apply it evenly all over my face. It’s consistency made it
slightly harder to apply.
Initial thoughts
The make up has a thick consistency. It is not liquidy at
all. It was a little hard to smooth and blend with with my beauty blender but
it does go evenly all over the face. The color I got was way too light for my
skin tone (I should have gotten the light/medium shade). It has a light
coverage. It felt very heavy on my skin and was making me feel very
uncomfortable. It has an even dewier finish than the Physician’s Formula. It
made my skin look oily on application.
It felt like really heavy sunscreen and it smells exactly like sunscreen. I had
to use a setting powder to reduce the sticky oiliness. I also used bronzer to
add some color to my face because this color was way too light for me. I did
notice “flakiness” under my eyes and around my mouth (not as bad as PF).
8 hours later
Oil. Oil. Oil. I looked so oily at about 4 hours in. I had
to use some blotting sheets. I continued to get oily for the rest of the day. I
felt like the make up stayed on just okay. I did notice throughout the day I could
feel it on my skin (this was really irritating to me). I was really just
shocked at how oily my skin got especially after using the Physician’s Formula
the day before.
Overall thoughts
I felt like this BB cream was not worth the money! I didn’t
like how oily my skin got. I felt like my skin was uncomfortable all day. The
color was too light for my skin tone so I washed me out and made me look tired.
The make up wore off a fair amount, but it wasn’t terrible. I didn’t like this
BB Cream
Likes
SPF 40, creamy consistency, and can apply it with a beauty
blender.
Dislikes
Felt heavy on the skin, didn’t control oil, poor color
choice, and wore off.
Buy/Use again?
I am not going to use this product again. I hear a lot of
good things about Revlon and definitely think that it was worth a shot! It just
didn’t control my oiliness.
