Physicians Formula's Organic Wear Loose Powder

Recently I purchased this loose powder from the Physicians Formula's organic wear line. So far this powder has worked great for me and I really enjoy using it :) I love using this powder to set my liquid foundation because it mattifies my face and gives an airbrush finished. The best part is that this powder is ORGANIC, which means that it 100% chemical free.

According to the box, this is

 "100% Free of Harsh Chemicals. 100% Free of Synthetic Preservatives. 100% Free of Parabens. 100% Free of GMO's. 100% Free of Synthetic Colors. 100% Free of Synthetic Fragrances. 100% Cruelty Free." 

Amazing right? OH YES! Here is the review: *Keep in mind that everything in this post are my personal opinions*

*took off the kabuki brush*

Really like the idea of the sifter lid in the jar!

Keeps the powder from getting everywhere. 

*Mess-free!*

Took off the sifter lid to show you guys the inside

Product is filled all the way up 

NO misleading packaging *YES!*

CONS: 
    - The kabuki brush is terrible
    - Mirror is way too small to use
    - Powder has a bad scent to it (scent goes away once you apply it)

PROS:  
   - AWESOME formula
   - Comes in 6 shades
   - Sifter lid *mess-free*
    - ORGANIC
    - Mattifies your face

SCORING: This product is a 5 out of 5 stars for me :)

FINAL VERDICT:
This product is overall awesome! I LOVE IT! It keeps my face matte for hours and it gives a natural grow to the face. $13.95 for an organic loose powder? Pretty good considering that is it organic! Would I recommend this? Yes I would. I would mostly recommend this for normal to combination skin. Even though the product does have a smell to it, it fades away very quickly. I have been grabbing this product whenever I need to set my foundation!

SAVE: Wait for a sale before grabbing any products from this line because they are always on sale somewhere at Walgreen, CVS, Rite-Aid, or Ulta (Beauty junkies in the U.S. are in LUCK!)

NYX Makeup Artist Kit

So a few months back I won a giveaway from one of my favorite YouTube beauty guru, K.L. You guys might know her better as her channel name, Secretlifeofabionerd (I will link her channel at the end of this post). She was having a mass giveaway and I was lucky enough to be one of the giveaway winners :) Keep in mind that everything in this post are my personal opinions.

This retail for $30.00 on the NYX website (link at the end)

The packaging of it is pretty nice 

Dimension: 7.25"W x 7.25"H x 1.5"D

(Pretty good size for a two layer palette) 

Layer one of the palette 

36 Colors

The eye shadow colors are divided 50/50 with earthy & warm colors and bright & pop colors. Only one of the eye shadow in this entire palette is matte matte, a few looks matte when apply on your lids. The 36 eye shadow colors in this  palette is pretty amazing, but the quality of these shadows are not the greatest. Almost all of the shadows in this palette has insane fall outs! 

For someone like me that has sensitive eyes, this is not a palette for me. I would say 1/3 of the shadows apply nicely, but the rest are either too sheer or too chalky. Overall, the shadows are okay, but the fall outs are just way too much.

Here are some swatches of the shadows:

2nd layer when you slide open the first 

(my palette broke during the shipping process)

From left to right:
5 lip colors, 4 blushes, 2 bronzers, 1 contour/highlight 

*I threw away the applicators*

Compared to the eye shadows, the blushes, bronzers, and lippies was MUCH better! I love the blushes in this palette, all of the blushes are super pretty, pigmented, and easy to blend. My favorite one is the light pink, it gives a soft innocent glow when you apply it to the apples of your cheek. Since the palette included 2 shades of bronzers it was really easy to work with. The mini lip pans are awesome they are super pigmented and moisturizing.

SCORE: 3.5 out of 5 stars

FINAL VERDICT: Overall, the palette has a great variety of colors and it is basically all in one kind of a deal. All you need is a foundation, eyeliner, and mascara and you're all set! Even though the palette have great variations in color and usage, the eye shadows are not the greatest. Would I recommend this palette? Not really, for $30.00 It is not worth the money to purchase this palette when there are plenty more better products out there. Even though this product was kind of a miss for me, I really do enjoy the blushes, bronzers, and the lippies a lot!
