Physicians Formula: Five Products, Five Mini Reviews

Press Sample 

A few months ago, I received an assortment of products by Physicians Formula for review. I've been testing these products out for over two months now and, instead of reviewing each one separately, I thought it might be fun to give you an at-a-glance overview of each product all within the same blog post. I was originally going to post this in a few weeks, but I sped things up since Physicians Formula is one of the brands that's 40% off this week at Ulta (and also on sale at Rite Aid and CVS) now through tomorrow (10/4). For more info on those sales, click here.

Review: EcoTools Skin Perfecting Brush for BB/CC Creams

Purchased by Me

I love BB/CC creams and I love EcoTools. So when EcoTools released a brush specifically for BB/CC creams earlier this year, I had to try it. I've been using this brush for a few months now, and I'm ready to give you my verdict!

NEW Avon Ideal Flawless CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF50

I feel like brands have been listening to some of us whine about the low SPF in many affordable BB and CC Creams, and they're doing something about it! Recently we've see a new Neutrogena BB Cream with SPF30, and a new line of L'Oreal BB Creams with SPF30 and SPF50. I am so ridiculously excited to see higher SPFs in these new products, and I KNOW I'm not alone.

Which brings me to this brand spankin' new CC Cream from Avon. Many thanks to reader @thenormaburke on Instagram for this one. Norma shared a pic of the new Avon CC cream with us--take a look!

Spotted: NEW EcoTools Skin Perfecting Brush for BB/CC Creams (and more!)

Unless I am just totally clueless (wouldn't be the first time), I can't recall ever seeing a brush designed specifically for applying BB or CC creams before. Well that's exactly what EcoTools has just released and, thanks to reader Dolly, I have pics of this new brush to share with you today!

Dolly spotted the new EcoTools Skin Perfecting Brush for BB/CC Creams at Walmart this week and was nice enough to share some pics with us.

Review: Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin CC Color + Correction Cream SPF20

Purchased by Me 

A few weeks ago I spotted the new Organic Wear CC Cream and Mascara display at CVS (click here to see what it looks like) and I couldn't resist picking up the CC Cream. I've been wearing this for about two weeks now and I'm ready to give you my thoughts about it, so keep reading for a closer look!

(retail: $14.95, 1.2 oz)

Spotted: NEW Physicians Formula Organic Wear CC and Super BB products

Remember a little while back when I posted that preview of the new 2014 Physicians Formula products? Well I'm happy to report that SOME of those new products have now landed at CVS! Huge thanks to readers Heather and Fatima for these sightings--let's take a look.

NOTE: To see more of the new-for-2014 products from Physicians Formula, including products that have not yet landed in stores (as of the time of this post), click here.

First up, longtime reader Heather (Heather King on YouTube) spotted the new BB Cream Compact at her CVS this week:

Spotted: NEW Revlon Age Defying CC Cream

Apologies for the quality of this photo, but it's through absolutely no fault of the lovely reader who submitted this pic! Reader Katie actually sent me some pics of other new products she spotted at her local Bed Bath and Beyond (which I'll be sharing with you a moment), and I noticed THIS on the side of one of her photos:

NEW Revlon Age Defying CC Cream at Bed Bath & Beyond

Again,  I noticed this display to the side of the display that Katie intentionally sent to me, so that's why it's so blurry and out of focus. I sharpened it as much as I could, but I think you get the idea! 

I did a quick Google search and couldn't find a thing about this. So I have no idea if there's SPF, how many shades are in the range, the retail price, etc. But I just wanted to put it out there to let you know it's coming. Also, I don't THINK this is the same product as the Revlon Absolute Radiance CC Cream that launched in Asia a few months ago, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully I'll be able to share better pics with you down the road but, for now, be on the lookout for this one if you're interested!

Thanks again, Katie, for the (unintentional) sighting!

New Alba Botanica Even Advanced CC Cream

Apparently this new CC Cream from Alba Botanica (makers of Jason, Avalon Organics, Queen Helene and lots of other brands) has been out since August, but it's new to me! This product is now available on the Target website (one of the two shades is also available in-store) and also via the Alba website (it's two dollars cheaper at Target):

Alba Bontanica Even Advanced CC Cream SPF15

(retail: $12.49 - $14.49, 1.7 oz)

Alba Botanica Even Advanced CC Cream is available in two shades: Fair to Light and Light to Medium. I think the price point is quite fair, even at the higher end of the range, considering that you get 1.7 oz of product (some BB/CC creams only give you 1.0 oz and charge nearly as much).

NEW Lumene Time Freeze Anti-Aging CC Cream SPF20

You all know that I love the Lumene BB Cream but in case you haven't heard, they now have a CC Cream:

(retail: $14.99, 1.0 oz; available in Light and Medium)

NEW Yes to Grapefruit Correct & Repair CC Cream SPF18

I just noticed that both Target and Ulta have the new Yes To Grapefruit CC Cream on their sites now (it's available for purchase online at Ulta but only in stores at Target as of the time of this post). Take a look:

Review: Hard Candy CC Correction Créme SPF15 in Medium

Back in January, I posted info giving you the heads-up that Hard Candy was releasing a CC Créme at Walmart in February. I'm not sure if this has hit stores just yet, but I received an advance sample from Hard Candy a little while ago for review. Now that I've used this product several times, I'm ready to share my thoughts with you.

New Hard Candy CC Correction Créme SPF15 in Medium
(retail: $8 at Walmart, in stores and online, 1.5 oz)

From Hard Candy:  CC creams are the next generation of BB creams that are an all-in-one product designed to moisturize, prime, color correct, brighten, and even skins complexion.  The point of difference in the CC cream is that they have additional coverage properties and color correcting benefits.  Essentially, they are a merge of skin care and cosmetics.  

The multi-functional CC crème aims to provide better skin coverage to treat and cover uneven skin tones more effectively than a BB Cream - plus the benefit of daily skin protection of broad spectrum SPF 15.  

What does it do?

Hard Candy’s CC Crème provides five flawless functions:

1. Color corrects undertone with unique light reflecting optical pearls

2. Neutralizes skin tone by blurring blemishes, discolorations and dark spots

3. Brightens complexions with glowing air brushed finish

4. Evens skins texture for a smooth flawless appearance

5. Oil free crème moisturizes skin all day without clogging pores 

Innovative Technology:

Hand Candy's CC Crème is infused with inorganic pigments that neutralizes the under tone of skin resulting in a balanced complexion. The technology is further enhanced by the incorporation of complimentary titanated micas, which deliver a light reflection of color correcting properties, creating the appearance of even and flawless skin tone. 

Special Ingredients:

Isostearyl Neopentanoate – A light, silky ester that improves product playtime for a more natural looking finish.

Polymethyl Methacrylate – A texture enhancer and soft focus powder that give a soft skin feel and matte application.

Micronized Pigments – Provide a tint of color to even out skin tone.

Color Correcting Pearls – Help even out skin tone and add radiance.

D-Panthenol – Hydrates and nourishes the skin.

Prorevive Blemish Balm Complex – An all-in-one product consisting of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus/White Willow Bark Extract Ferment Filtrate that provides anti-aging, conditioning, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, protecting, and antioxidant properties. 

Hard Candy’s CC Crème will be available in February 2013 exclusively at Walmart and walmart.com for $8 (1.5 oz) and comes in 4 shades: Fair, Light, Medium and Dark.
