Physician Formula Bronze Booster Review

I am really very new to this brand from the United States. Physician Formula is not something available easily in India. I got this on amazon and I kinda like the bronzer. Along with the bronzer I had also purchased a BB cream but the review on that will be in a different blog post.


The packaging is very simple. It comes in a plastic compact kind of a packaging and also has a mirror and a contour brush inside it. The brush is not that great but good enough for use when you forget your favourite contour brush.



The color that I have purchased is Medium to Dark. I think it suites me perfectly. I always use it when I don't want an overwhelming amount of contour but at the same time I want to have a slight shadow underneath my cheekbones. The bronzer has shimmer in it but it hardly shows up on your skin. If you are not into shinny bronzer then this might not be for you.

The color payoff is light and you have to build it up to get the necessary shade. I like the how natural it looks when applied in less quantity. The price on amazon when I bought it was Rs1353. This amount can change according to the supply and demand on amazon.

At the end I would just say that if the price of this is too expensive then there are many good bronzers available in India which would do the job just fine. Maybe better than this!

The Body Shop Insta Blur Primer Review

I cannot live without a primer. I am such an oily bitch that if I want my makeup to last my crazy work hours as well as the crazy travelling then I have to necessarily use a primer. I was a fan of the Loreal Base Magique primer for a brief amount of time but it was too thick for me. I had a very hard time blending it. I remember once I had applied and didn't sufficiently blend it and ended up with white color primer lumps on my face. Very embarrassing!


I was really keen on trying The Body Shop's Insta Blur primer as I had seen many youtubers rave about it on their channel. I picked it up three weeks back and I am super impressed by it. When I don't use a primer the oil from my skin used to melt my makeup during the day and make me shine like the sun. Mind you this shine is not on my cheeks but this shine was on my nose. Gross!


The primer is silicon based and fills my pores with silicon which controls the oil and also makes the appearance of the pores less. This is a not as thick as the Loreal Base Magique primer so it blends very easily on my skin. I have noticed that it makes my makeup last for at least 7-8 hours.


It is doesn't have any color or strong odour (something I like). The tube also says that it is a all-in-one primer. You can also use it on its own for just reducing the visibility of pores. The tube I bought contains 25ml of the product and it is sold at the price of Rs1595. The price seems a little high but I like the primer very much, so I am ready to pay the price.


All in all, a good investment if you are looking for a good primer that keeps your makeup lasts long.
