 Installment number four of Beauty Brand Superstars is coming at you right now. Hello friends. This is part four of my Beauty Brand Superstars, where I go over a drugstore brand two or three and go through the very best, the cream of the crop, the rider died, the never fail, the must haves of that brand, to take the guesswork out of it for you when you do your shopping. And today I'm going to be bringing you Physician's Formula and ELF. And I don't have a lot of Physician's Formula, but boy, do I have a lot of ELF. So we're going to get into this immediately because I don't want it to be too long of a video for you. And we're going to start off with Physician's Formula. First of all, let me tell you that, yes, I'm in my bed today. My back is killing me. And so that's why my bed is up and I'm not kind of sitting straight up just so you know, I'm kind of just filming as I can today. So I'm going to start out with the Physician's Formula Healthy Foundation. This one has an SPF in it. And let me tell you what my color is. By the way, the SPF is 20. And it says Brightening Complex in it. And my color I believe is FN3. So it's Fair Neutral 3. It is a little bit light for me. This is a delivery system that has a doe foot applicator. And when I was complaining about this one time, one of you said, we use a doe foot applicator on your concealer. What's wrong with it on a foundation? And it's true. It is a little bit harder to get to the bottom and, you know, use every bit, but you can always take that stopper out and then get it with a Q-tip or something a little longer if you need to to get your very last drop out of there. Beautiful foundation that lays on mature skin. So pretty. It is long lasting and long wearing and doesn't show up any texture for me. It really is like a medium to full coverage, very buildable. But if you're looking for something that is very sheer, this is probably not it. And this is somewhere between a matte and a satin. So it's not a dewy foundation. It's not a foundation that's going to keep you terribly matte, but you are going to get a very smooth application out of it. So this is one that I've loved for a long time. And no, this isn't gone out of stock yet. I know that it is a little bit harder to find for some people, but it's still in stock at lots of Walmart's. My Walmart has the full range of it still, and you can still get this on Amazon. No problem. So this is a foundation that I've loved for a really long time. But if you're thinking that it won't ever go out of stock, you might want to get a couple of backups because I believe that they eventually will discontinue this because they kind of have been leaning that way, but I think people were like, wait a minute, that's the best foundation in your line. And so they were wanting to keep it around. So this is an excellent foundation. If you've been thinking about trying it, it's really good for mature skin. The next one is the obvious. This is the Butter Bronzer. This is my second one that I have had. It does have a little bit of a Sentin lotion smell to it. It has that coconut-y smell to it, which I think is great. This one is the original bronzer color. They have a light, they have a dark, and then they have a glowy one. This is just a time. There goes the little applicator. This is just a little tiny bit, probably more on the warm side than a lot of my cool gals will like. But just know that as you're coming up onto summer, if you're faux tanning, you know, if you're doing the fake and bake or anything like that, this is a really good color for a tan for you. So I like this because of its consistency. It is very buttery. It's very creamy. And I really do like that it goes on without being patchy. So as you're swirling it or, you know, buffing it on, you really do get an even application of it. And it can be used as just your blush in the summer when you do have that fake tan. So I really like it. And then they also have the Butter Blush. And I can't remember what the mauve is called exact. Saucy mauve. And I love this one because it has just a tiny bit of luminosity in it. It is one that just gives you a little bit of life. It doesn't look like it's too rosy and it doesn't look like it's too peachy. So you have that right in between color and it's just real pretty. I really like that. And Ollie is going to be in and out because when I recline like this and I'm talking like this, he just thinks that it's playtime. He has no idea what mommy's doing. So this is a beautiful color. They do have several other colors. This one was just one that I picked up at Walmart. And I really, really love it. Again, that same beautiful texture, the same little bit of a fragrance. I know that lots of people don't like that fragrance, but it doesn't bother me too much. I think if it were in the foundation, it would bother me more. But I like that little tiny bit of a luminosity you get from it as well. I also really, really like this stick bronzer from them. This one is the sculpting bronzer and it is their organic wear. And I have no idea what color it is because it's not showing up there very well. So this color is it is the deeper one of the two. I think there's two of them. And a lot of people can use this for their contour. I can't. It's just a little bit too warm for me. So I put it on a buffer brush or a stipple brush and I just use it as my bronzer. It's a cream product, so it goes on really smoothly and it blends out really smoothly as well. And make sure that you work with it kind of fast because once it does lay down, it will be there all day. And you can see how I'm kind of just buffing it out, buffing it out. And so you could have this to be quite deep if you needed to, if you're a deep skin girl. And if you needed it to be lighter, you could also get it to be quite a bit lighter. So this is a great product for somebody that loves cream products. It's a really good product. And then another product that I love is the Physicians Formula. This one is the booster eye boosters. This is the liner. And I love how this liner is such a fine tip and I love that it's waterproof. Now, I will say that one of the things that I'm not super happy about this is that if I store it upside down, it will get a little too moist on that tip and it drips out a little bit and you'll have to wipe it off first. But if I store it like this, it's no problem. So just keep that in mind. And this is one that lasts on your eyes and is so good on your eyes because it is that waterproof formula. And for me to be able to get that straight line really close onto the water line, actually, it's just above the water line on my lash line. I go as close as I can to my lashes and then get that line really close. It just lasts all day and it's there and I don't have any trouble with it, you know, skipping or pulling or anything like that. I really like that one. Now, that is it for Physicians Formula. And now we're going to go on to Elf and this is where we get into a lot of products. It hasn't been very long ago when I talked about Elf's brushes. They have the Pro brushes that are so good. I use both of the. Well, I use all three of these brushes every day. This one is the small stipple brush. I use this one for my contour almost every day to stipple out my contour all around my hairline, my jaw line and to carve out those cheekbones. I use this one for a foundation brush. It is angled and then it's very dense and it buffs in the foundation really well. This is a dupe for a BK Beauty foundation brush that I adore. And then this one is the very, very fluffy powder brush. This is a huge powder brush. It is very much like the It Cosmetics big mega powder brush that they sell for Ulta. And this one is so great for buffing out powder and being able to just really buff it in. You don't have to use a lot if you don't want to. But it buffs really great and it's so soft. I love that these pro brushes for how soft they are. And I don't know why he thinks he's got a stand on me, but he does. I have three of the new Halo powders. This is a micro fine powder that is a dupe for the Hourglass Veil powder. And I love that this comes in three different shades. My favorite one is this pink one right here. And it's so brightening on my skin. And I just love how light and airy and it just feels so micro fine and soft. And using a tiny bit of it, you can absolutely use it if you're a mature woman. I don't use a ton of powder, but when I do, I love using a powder like this because of it being so micro fine. It doesn't really make me look dry or cakey. And you don't have to use a lot of it. You just use a very, very small amount. And this is just so soft and so pretty on the skin. And it just blurs so well. Also, one of actually my Rider-Dye products is their Poorless Putty Primer. I have talked about this over and over again on my channel. Everything that I have here today, I'm wearing a lot of. Like I am wearing that pink powder underneath my foundation. I am using this primer as my primer today. This has such a soft feel to it. You definitely can feel the dimethicone in it, which is the silicone that fills in large pores. Make sure that you're pressing any time you're using a silicone or a dimethicone primer and you have large pores. Make sure you're using a pressing motion and then lightly go over it to rub it in because that pressing motion is going to take that putty or that primer into the pores instead of having it just go across them. And you're left with what looks almost like chicken skin type stuff. So make sure you're pressing and you'll get a much better result out of this. This, again, is a dupe for the Tatcha Silky Canvas Primer. Love that stuff, too. It has lots of really good skin ingredients in it. But for a fraction of the cost, you're getting the look of that primer and you're getting the same results as the smoothing and so beautiful. Now, as far as those putty products go, they do also have their putty blush, which I think is just such a hit. It is the same consistency as the putty is, but you get the blush color out of it and these colors are very, very vibrant and they're very beautiful. I can't even see those colors with my glasses on. So make sure that I throw them up on the screen. This one is a little bit more muted than that last one. So this one has like a pinky peach color to it. So it has the two together, but they have a bunch of colors. They have some deeper ones and then they have some of these lighter ones that you can deepen up if you just use them in layers. I really love these. They're beautiful cream blushes. I've liked them ever since they came out. Love the consistency of them. They're not too thin that they're going to wipe away. They're not too thick that they're going to make you look like you have any sort of texture. They're just absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous cream blushes. And I would highly recommend those. And I also adore the primer infused bronzer and their blushes. They're so good. I really like them. The bronzer is again, just a little bit too warm for me. But I am wearing it today and it worked really well with this look that I did. It is just a tiny bit warm. So it doesn't have any of the rows that I usually like. If I layer those under one of these blushes, let's see, this first one is always breezy. And it is more along the lines of a neutral shade. So pretty. I think these blushes are just great. Well, look at the pigment in that. Isn't that great? I love the pigment of them. They just are so pretty. And again, very creamy, very beautiful colors. This one is this is so hard for me to see always rosy, really like these. I think that they're just great, great blushes. They're so pretty on your skin. They're going to buff out. They're going to show up such pretty pigment and you're going to really love them. And then also we have their white gold. This is their highlighter. This one you need so very little of. This shows up a really lot of beam on it. But at the same time, it's going to not show up texture. It's just really pretty. I do have it on my cheeks today as my highlighter. I just think it's one of those ones that is a great color for somebody that's lighter, but at the same time, you're going to be able to build it up to be, you know, as much of a high beam as you would like it to be. So I really love these products. I think each of them are about six or eight dollars. And I think they did such a great job on those primer infused products. They're really good. So I know everybody has talked about over and over again, these bite size shadows. And if any of you have been thinking about getting them, something has caught your eye in one of these where you think you might like to try them, go ahead and try them because they really, truly are that good. They're a beautiful quality that stays around for a very long time. They blend so well. They are like a super high end shadow that costs three bucks for a little palette. It's just so good. I love using all of these that I have. I loved the new mint ones out of the mint collection this spring. They just are so pretty. They have the green colors in them, and then they also have the neutral colors in them that I love as well, great pigment out of these. But the blendability is there as well. And I just think they are so, so pretty. I can't wait for them to come out with more of these different colors. I wish they'd come out with an all very, very purple one. I would love that. And then if you've been thinking about these new 18-pan palettes, these are fantastic. My favorite is the new classics, and it is what I'm wearing today. The new classics has a gamut of like mauve colors, taupe colors, warm colors, neutral colors, a little bit of pops of colors like this is a Celadon green that can go on the eyelid. I think is so pretty. So you've got a couple of olives. You've got that matte black. You've got a matte cream color that you can help that helps you blend out. These are so buttery and so pretty. And I love them. So if you like that and then you like just a little pop of color, this one is called Earth and Ocean. So you have the cool tones on this side and then the warm tones on this side. These two together just make up such a beautiful palette as far as, you know, I want to put a splash of color into my neutrals. They're just gorgeous together or, you know, you can do countless amounts of looks on their own, great blendability. And for the price, I just think that you're getting such good, good shadows. And yeah, I love elf shadows for years and years. I've been using these two brow products. This is the Brow Palmade Pencil, which I absolutely love. I think it's called Palmade Instant Lift Brow Pencil. Not called Palmade. I love this. I think it's such a good pencil. It lasts on the brow. You can get in there and do some micro fine strokes. You have a spoolie on this end and it. I really love it. Two bucks. You can't beat it. And then the Wow Brow. The Wow Brow has a teeny tiny spoolie with little fibers on it that catch the own hair that you have on your eyebrows. And you're able to make them more voluminous between these two products, the one that sets and gives you more volume with the fibers. And then this one that defines with the pencil, I love these. And I don't need to go spend, you know, fifty, sixty dollars on two brow products because Elf has these and they knock it out of the park for me. I also love from them their H2O Waterproof Pen. Again, this is a lot like the Physicians Formula. I between the two, I think the Physicians Formula is just a little bit finer tip at the end, but I like them both. I reach for them both at different times. This one is probably a little bit more on the matte side. So you know that than the Physicians Formula. So if you're somebody that really likes that matte look, this is probably a little bit better for you. But as far as staying power goes for a felt tip liner pen, they both are about the same because they both have that waterproof property and I don't find that either of them smudge through the day. So I really love those. And then if you've been thinking about trying this Elf liquid liner, go ahead and try it because it's really good. I love this particular color. It's so brightening and so pretty and so glossy across the eye. This is Moon something. And of course, because it's teeny tiny, I can't tell you what color it is. But there it is right there. And it's just a beautiful color that lasts all day on your lid. These are so brightening to them and they don't show up any texture and they really set down well. And they don't feel super dry on your eye like some liquid eye shadows can. So that's why I really like it. This is probably my favorite color, too. And again, I'll make sure I throw that up on the screen for you. And I also really love their hydrating camo concealer. I don't like the original, but this hydrating one is super good. And I love it. And I have heard people say that they don't like these because they feel like they're too dry or too cakey. My thing with when I first started using this one is I didn't like it either. I thought this is going to be just like the regular camo tart shaped tape. It's going to be way too dry for my mature under eyes. But I found that I was using too much. So I use the teeniest amount. I mean, I will like put a little dot on my finger. I don't even dot it on my eyes out of the doe foot applicator, which is huge, by the way. I don't think that I would ever do that with that big of a one. You know, go ahead and dot it onto your eyes. You just get too much. So I will dot it a tiny bit onto my finger and then I'll put it together like this. And I find that there'll still be too much. So I will use one finger to dot to both eyes and then blend it out. And I still have too much on this finger, so I'm wiping that away. But I think that that was the key to making this work and loving it so much was that I was using too much. But when I used a very, very, very teeny amount, it covered so well. And it just really didn't have any cake increasing anything like that. I do have a tutorial about no cakey concealer with this. So make sure that I link that for you below. And then the last product, but definitely not the least, is a new mascara that came from out from them. But I'm getting tongue tied called Lash It Loud. I love this mascara. And if you can see my eyelashes today, it does a beautiful job on eyelashes. This is a synthetic brush. It is the plastic wand brush. And I love the shape of it because I can get into the little hairs that are in there in the inner corner of the eye. And this just builds up so beautifully. Volume, length, drama in my eyes holds my curl all day long. This is a gorgeous mascara. This one and the one from Essence. I have been talking about all so far this year. These are my two that I absolutely adore. They are just great, great mascaras, and both of them are just so special. Let me mention before we go this, this is the Elf Camo CC Cream. I don't like this that much. It's too thick for me. It's just much too much as far as showing up texture and going into my lines and wrinkles and settling. It's and it's too thick. And I have found that if I thin it way out with something else, then it's OK. I am going to be comparing, comparing, comparing CC creams very quickly, a bunch of them, and this will go into that lineup. But I wanted to tell you that this isn't the greatest thing for me just so you know, because I knew I would have a few of you ask about that. So that's it for today's video. I hope that you're still enjoying this series. This is number four. We have a few more to go. I have a few more brands to go. This has been a lot of fun for me because this gets to showcase what I love the most, which is drugstore and affordable. And if there are anything in the offline or anything that is in the Physicians Formula line that you absolutely adore, please let me know that in the comments section so that I can go ahead and try that out. Thanks so much for being patient about me leaning back a little bit today and taking care of my back a little bit. I'm still struggling, but I'm still trying to make content for you guys. So I love you very much. Please take care of yourselves. Have a wonderful rest of your week and I'll see you in my next video. Bye, friends.
