Review | Physician's Formula Organic Wear FakeOut Mascara

A couple of days ago I stumbled across a printable rebate form for this mascara. (You can find the form located here) I've been reluctant to stray from my current mascara fave, the L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara. (Review here) But what did I have to lose? I mean...free mascara? Yes please. Oooh, look at the lovely packaging...pretty normal for Physician's Formula. (They rarely disappoint in that department.)

Physician's Formula Organic Wear FakeOut Mascara

$8.79 at Target (free with rebate)

According to their site, this mascara is the first ever with 100% natural origin lash extension fibers. (Nifty) I have noticed that my eyes are watering much less while I'm wearing this kind. So that is pretty darn interesting. It delivers the same effect as the L'Oreal mascara, it's just less clumpy. (Not AS dramatic but close.) Sadly, the FakeOut mascara is NOT waterproof like the L'Oreal. So there is something to think about before purchasing. 

(Ohhh, a fancy comparison collage with text!)

Physician's Formula likes to brag on this oversized brush. (Meh) It's a good bit larger than the wands I'm used to dealing with. I don't personally feel like it does anything special. It just makes it a little awkward to apply. (Maybe it's just me?) 

(Are you trying to compensate for something Mr. Brush?)

LOL all silly-ness aside. I really do recommend this mascara, (especially with the rebate form) it left my lashes feeling very conditioned and looking loverly. I will probably see if my mom wants to try it out. She is always looking for a mascara that doesn't irritate her eyes. 

Oh, before I go...my hubby is taking me to see The Great Gatsby this weekend! I'm really excited! Have any of you guys seen it? Check out Grav3yardgirl's (Get ready with me - Gatsby edition) It's a super fun video, I wish I could have dressed up for the premier. 

Look at these cuties! I still don't know how I snapped the photo in time. :) Love it. 

Review | Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. I bought this strictly because of the packaging lol. I mean look at it...

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush

$11.99

The price I'm posting is straight off the Physicians Formula website. I actually snagged it over at Kroger for around $8-ish. (It had a coupon attached to it) I've also spotted it at Target with a coupon. As you can tell, I stalked this blush at several stores before I purchased it lol. I took the above photo after testing it a couple of times. The heel on the shoe isn't as sparkly as originally was. The whole thing is just so darn adorable! I guess I should talk about the actual blush? If I have to...

The shade I picked up is the "natural" shade. I regret choosing this one. I should have gone for the "rose." I'm pretty fair. (I'm trying to take care of my skin now that I'm getting close to the big 30) I will be 27 in September, kinda-not-really 30. So...very little sun for me. This blush barely does anything. I've actually decided to use it strictly as a highlighter. I'm pretty disappointed with it. I couldn't even get the swatch to pick up on camera. The below photo is the best I could manage. 

I will say that it smells divine. It claims be infused with pheromone mimicking ingredients. Let's just say it smells like warm vanilla and cocoa extract. I love it. I don't really understand what it's trying to accomplish though. Am I supposed to feel sexier? Is it supposed to turn my man on? My man was really weirded out when I asked him to sniff my face lol. So at least we accomplished that! Either way, it makes your face smell yummy which is a plus. 

What do I think? Let's break it down...

It's a bit on the pricey side.

The packaging = amaze-balls

The product = so so blush, nice highlighter

Would I re-purchase it when I run out? No.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! I have a "empties" post I am going to try and get up soon. :)
