Q: is it worth buying?
A: Hi, I really love the products from physician's formula brand. At first, I didn't think I would. I have been using their mineral products for 2 years now. I try to get them when they are on sale--either buy one get one free, or with a coupon, or, buy one, get one at 1/2 off. Usually, their prices range from $6-14 in my state. I have sensitive and blotchy skin, as I am really sensitive to heat and the sun. When I use the mineral formula foundation, the blotchy skin is completely smoothed out. I wore if for my wedding last year, and it was great. hope this helps. I would recommend it anytime. oh, I do not use the brushes it comes with--I found it is worth the money to get some make up brushes--I spent $10 on a small travel kit that was on clearance that had a bunch of brushes---this does everything. my eye shadow, my blush--if I wear any, my concealer, my foundation. It even had the little zippered case to carry them in. If you get brushes, wash them, and keep them clean, and get GOOD brushes---ones that are GENTLE on your skin. (that is why I did not use the ones it came with--irritated my skin too much). Oh, I do not do the loose powder---too messy. I get the one in the compact, swirl the brush around on it, and tap the brush and apply it to my face. MUCH more natural. I had the other kind at first---it was TOO large the particles...and my skin is TOO fair. Again, I hope this helps. Good luck to you. I think Rite Aid has the buy back option if you don't like the cosmetic you buy...no questions asked. If you have one near you.
