Physician's Formula - A Lack Luster Glow

A few weeks ago I was watching some highlighter reviews on YouTube. I noticed quite a few people mentioning the Physicians Formula bronzer and highlight products. Being a big fan of a bargain, I decided to try the products for myself.

I've tried a few products from this brand, and have been pretty pleased. It didn't seem like too much of a risk to give something else a try. I decided on the Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls. The packaging made this an even easier decision. The price wasn't bad either. At a little under $14 I was eager to get my glow on.

The packaging for this highlighter is adorable. Everything from the little faux pearl on the cover, to the brush and mirror in the bottom compartment. This is just a fantastic little compact.

What I wasn't stoked about was the pigmentation. There wasn't any.

Well, there was - but it wasn't as pronounced as I thought it would be. I played around with it, and to get any kind of noticeable glow on my skin I had to take at least 4 swipes of product. I also didn't want to apply it wet at the risk of it caking on my face. I was so sad! I wasn't ready to give up just yet, though. Maybe it would grow on me?

Long story short - it didn't.

I even ended up returning it! I RARELY ever return makeup. I just wasn't pleased with this product at all. It feels amazing on the skin. It's soft, and buttery - but what shows up on your skin is minimal. Maybe folks with richer complexions have better luck?

Have you tried this product? What do you think? Did you get good pigmentation with it? Share your comments below and let me know your thoughts.
