Physician's Formula Organic Wear

When I first started to look into more natural and organic products to use Physician's Formula was the first one I thought of when it came to makeup. I have quite a few products from Physician's Formula, but I thought I would split it up so it wouldn't be a terribly long post. So I'm going to start out with the products that I have from their Organic Wear line. 



1. Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer in Light to Natural
2. Organic Wear Loose Powder in Beige Organics
3. Organic Wear Lash Boosting Mascara in Ultra Black Organics
4. Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Mascara

Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer in Light to Natural (1.5 fl oz. at $11.95)
Description from website:
   Lightweight tinted moisturizer hydrates skin and evens out skin tone with sheer and natural coverage.
    - Infused with Organic Fruit Water to help nourish and restore skin’s moisture balance.
    - SPF 15 naturally protects skin from environmental damage for healthy looking complexion.

One of the main reasons I got this was because I don't like foundation and I wanted something with a little bit of coverage, plus it has SPF 15. This is honestly one of my favorite products from Physician's Formula. I wore this everyday during the summer and its perfect. It's not heavy like some tinted moisturizers or BB creams. When you apply it and smooth it over your skin, it instantly soaks in and it won't budge. (I advise if you get this, apply in sections aka cheek, forehead, nose, chin etc.) I like to use this with the Loose Powder to have flawless skin. It would be fine alone if you don't have acne scars and dark veins on your face like I do. It's not sticky, it doesn't make your face oily (I have very oil skin), and it looks good on. 
Grade: A
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.



Organic Wear Loose Powder in Beige Organics (0.77 fl oz at $13.95)
Description from website: 
   - Combines the performance and coverage of a foundation with the blendability and natural finish of a loose powder.
    - Innovative sifter lid in the jar allows for mess-free application.
    - Natural kabuki brush and mirror included. 

To do honest, I didn't pay full price for this. I found this at Ross Dress for Less for $4.99!! Holy cow was I excited. (If you're interested in this product check at your local Ross, I've seen these at every one I've been at.) Anyways, about this product. I have tried other loose powders that were natural before and they made me break out and I was allergic. So I didn't have high hopes for this, but it turned out to be amazing. I love the packaging too. Most other loose powders leak through the sifter as it gets moved around and you open it and theres product everywhere. This one has a downward cap thing (I don't know what to call it) that holds the brush that is included. So when you take the cap off you lift the downward lid and see the sifter without a bunch of leaked through product because it's sealed. That's my favorite part about this product. The brush that is included is stiff and not usable in my opinion (I'm used to my extremely soft Ecotools though). The loose powder goes on the skin well and doesn't look a bit cakey. I can usually get away with only one layer if I'm using the tinted moisturizer. I use this powder everyday. 
Grade: A+

Organic Wear Lash Boosting Mascara in Ultra Black Organics (0.26 oz at $9.95)
Description from website:
    - 100% saw enhanced lashes INSTANLY!
     - 1st Ever 100% Natural Lash Boosting formula enhances the appearance of lash length, thickness and volume for dramatic lashes instantly and long-term.
     - Delivers ingredients to the base of lashes for best results!
     - 93% saw thicker & longer looking lashes instantly! 92% saw extended & fuller looking lashes after 4 weeks! *Based on individual perception of results of a panel of women wearing Organic Wear Lash Boosting Mascara.
     - Hypoallergenic. Fragrance free. Ophthalmologist approved. Gluten Free.

This mascara is the bombdigity! This is my favorite mascara ever. You can build it up and have some huge lashes. Everything they claim is completely true. I usually put on a layer, switch eyes, then go back over with another layer. You can completely just put one layer on, but I like to have long and thick lashes. It doesn't flake by the end of the day either like some mascaras do. My lashes are actually soft with the mascara on too. I can go on and on about how amazing this stuff is. I can't wait to try its counterpart either (Organic Wear Lash Boosting Jumbo Lash Mascara). 
Grade: A+++
 100% of the Total Ingredients are from Natural Origin. 44% of the Total Ingredients are from Organic Farming.


Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Mascara in Black Organics (0.26 oz at $9.95)

Description from website:
   Revolutionary 100% Natural Origin formula contains the purest ingredients and provides 5x Lash Boosting for lash length, volume & definition naturally.
     - 100% Recyclable Eco-Brush defines each lash with ultra-soft plastic bristles.
     - Hypoallergenic. Safe for Sensitive Eyes and Contact Lens Wearers.

So first of all, this mascara sucks. I got this because it has good ingredients and it claimed it was hypoallergenic, which is what I need. This made me want to go back to the mascaras with the crappy ingredients. It didn't "provide 5x lash boosting". It didn't really do anything. My lashes were stiff, hard, and flakey by the end of the day. The inside dries out extremely fast also. I could keep going on and on about how much I dislike this, but I'm going to spare you. 
Grade: F
100% Free of Harsh Chemicals, Synthetic Preservatives, Parabens, Clumping, Smudging, Flaking, Fibers & Dyes.
