Ms Bubu and Her Girlyness: Physician's Formula

Physician's Formula Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blush Rose

If there is one thing I have a weakness for, it is cute packaging. I have to admit that this is the main reason why I got this Physician's Formula Nude Wear Glowing Blush in Rose. The second one was that it was on special and third is that it came with a mail-in rebate.

Nude Wear Blushes come in two colours: Natural and Rose.I thought that the Rose one would give me more of a healthy glow than the Natural one. In the Rose blush, you get four different colours, a lilacy-pale pink, a peach, a coral and a bright pink. Now, it would be hard to just swipe one of the colours on your cheeks, unles you have a really tapered powder brush. But the combined effect is a buildable pink.

On the skin, the blush offers a subtly shimmery effect, which is not to the likes of everyone. I personally prefer a little colour and shimmer to a plain matte effect, especially on the cheeks.

Even though I really like the packaging, it is not the most handy one. It contains 5g of product, which is similar to other blushes, but it is bulky. I wouldn't see myself travelling with it. But it sits well on a makeup vanity.

Physician's Formula regularly offer mai-in rebates on their products, and you guessed it, this one is part of the lots for 2014. I have mailed my rebate about a month ago, and I haven't received it yet. Hopefully I will receive it soon (I've done a few mail-in rebates in the past and haven't had any problems).

Physician's Formula Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blushes are $15.99. I bought mine at Shoppers, but you can also check out their stockists online.

EDIT: I have received my mail-in rebate check yesterday (August 8th, after about 4-5 weeks)

Valentine Makeup Look (Using Drugstore Products)

beauty 18:36:00

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and we probably all want to look our best for this!

I came up with this fresh faced makeup look yesterday, and I think it will be pperfect for the occasion! It's easy to recreate and the products used are all (except one) from the drugstore (Canadian and UK).

Products used

Products I used:

MUA Lash Boom Volume and Length Mascara (UK): I usually used this one on the outer lashes, and use mascara before for all the lashes. But in this instance I only used this one, because the other one I have open at the moment is not drugstore.
Marcelle Cream Blusher in Raspberry (old packaging, Canada): I really love this blusher, you can either use it lightly for a subtle effect or build it up for night time.
Marcelle Velvety Eyeshadow + Primer in Primer Rose (Canada): I usually use this as a primer in combination with other shadows.
Maybelline Color Elixir in Blush Essence: Perfect for a fresh look!
Daniel Sandler Velvet Waterproof Eyeliner in Brown (UK): This is the only product that is not drugstore. I have a Maybelline liner that is similar, but somehow I can't find it at the moment. So I used this one, it's also one of my favourite line.
MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Jet Black (UK): This is the eyeliner I'm currently using for my water and tight lines. I like how creamy it is, and the packaging with the sharpener is convenient. The only thing thought is that it's too creamy, and don't stay too long.
Physicians Formula NUDE Palette: I put the pink e/s all over my mobile eyelid, the darkest brown in the outer Vand the champagne one in the corner of my eye and just above my crease.
