Physicians Formula Super BB All-in-1 Cheek & Lip Beauty Balm
četrtek, december 03, 2015
You may remember this little ball from my big pile of Physicians Formulas stuff from a couple of months back. I just have so many reviews to go through here and on the other blog that this slipped through the cracks, but no matter, it's here now (Slovene version has been up for a while now). The design is very similar to those EOS sphere lip balms that have been popular for at least a couple of years now, but this one isn't a lip balm in anyway, it's actually a tinted blush and cheek product. I don't know about you, but I always fall for these cute designs, whether the product inside is good or not.
The shade is just as the packaging - adorable. It's such a sweet girly colour, but it's actually not the same shade on the lips or cheeks as you see in the container. It looks raspberry medium pink, but on the lips it's a light, almost Barbie pink that is semi-transparent. I don't think you can get a fully opaque colour out of this, so it actually may be a nice product for a young girl. This is more of a silicone based product, meaning it's not at all moisturising, which does suggest it was more intended to be used on the cheeks than on the lips. I would advise you use a lip balm under it when worn on the lips.
On the cheeks that semi-translucent characteristic keeps the blush from being too bright and it looks far more natural. It performs better on the cheeks than the lips and creates that cute baby doll flush. The ball design makes the application easy, you need a couple of swipes and it blends ok with fingers, though you don't even need much blending so it's a nice product on the go.
The packaging is obviously a sphere. The lid screws on, so there is no fear it may open. I'm not going to say that this is easy to hold and before you misunderstand me, I just mean that it can slip out of your hands because of the round design. It would be better if they decided on a rubbery outer layer instead of plastic, but it's fine, it's not a thing to fuss about to be honest.
It smells so good, like those candy raspberries from Haribo.
I got mine from Click2Chic where it cost 8.91 € (I got it to review for their website), but international readers can get it on iHerb. Another shade exist called Natural Peach.
Have a great day!

This products has a fabolous packaging! I like the "baby doll flush" it gives to you and it's lovely on your porcelain skin! It's nice as a lip balm, too but I prefer this product used as a blush.

It performs a lot better as a blush, yes :) Thank you :)
IzbrišiThat color looks really nice on you!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI like that it smells good. Most multi-products smell terrible from my experience.

Thank you :) I love the smell of this. I used to eat those candy raspberries on my birthday when I was little because we always used them to decorate the cake :)
IzbrišiU, je pa kar razlika med odtenkom na ustnicah in v sami embalaži...Meni bi najverjetneje bil ljubši če bi bolj ''malinast'' :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiMe je kar presenetilo kako je svetel na ustnicah. Bi tudi meni bilo ljubše, da bi bil bolj malinast, ampak tudi tako je kjut :)
IzbrišiJoj kako si luškana s tem blushem. :) <3 Saj veš, da to ni moj odtenek. Ideja embalaže mi je zelo všeč, čeprav tudi nisem fan kremnih senči. Tebi pa ti roza odtenki neverjetno pašejo :).
OdgovoriIzbrišiHvala <3 Pa veš, da take barve skoraj nikoli ne nosim. Vedno izbiram bolj peachy ali pa "Rose Royce" barve :) Embalaža je res nekaj posebnega, taka za važit se pred ostalimi kako kul blush/šminko imaš :D
IzbrišiMeni so ful všeč takšni lip balmi, imam Sephorinega sem ga že skoraj čisto porabila, res so priročni :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJaz prav balzama za ustnice v taki obliki nisem imela, me pri večini moti visoka cena, so mi pa tako kul za pogledat :)
