It would seem from the amount of bronzing products I have been seeing lately that we are quickly hurdling towards bronzer season. I have ZERO issues with that because I love me some warm, sunny months!

The Physicians Formula How-To Bronze Bronzers come in shades Light Bronze and Bronzer and are so darn cute! They come in little square palettes that look like a pair of jeans. Also inside in a hidden bottom area are the super easy instructions, an applicator brush and mirror.

Just LOOK at how adorable that is!

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, no? Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Baked Bronzer in Light Bronzer is not only a HUGE mouthful but cute to boot!

This bronzer comes in two shades, Light Bronzer and regular Bronzer. Of course I chose the light one because I have fair skin and am SUPER paranoid about looking completely ridiculous when I wear it. But fret not bronzer-shy goddesses, because you too can wear this shade without feeling like there is a giant spotlight pointed at your face!

This can be used wet or dry and it includes their Happy Boost Blend featuring Happy Skin™ and Euphoryl, natural plant extracts which have been shown to promote a feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect of Endorphins and helping protect the skin from environmental stress.

And it smells like violets.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster collection for spring 2013 includes two new Sexy Glow Blushes and Sexy Glow Bronzers. And I DARE you to resist this packaging!

Sexy Glow Blushes come in Natural and Rose and the bronzers in Light Bronzer and Bronzer. So what makes this stuff so sexy? According to PF, they include a seductive fragrance and pheromone-mimicking ingredients. Get this, one of them is called…HORNY GOATWEED. I am not kidding that’s what the press release says. So what on earth is that? It’s derived from ancient Chinese medicine and claims to be an aphrodisiac for men and women. It also contains vanilla and musk, as well as cocoa extract (the “love chemical”) and Androstadienone and Muricine Aglycone, which are clinically tested pheromone-like ingredients. They are also all hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, paraben free and gluten free.

Hmmm I don’t know about all that, but did I mention how cute they are?

Physicians Formula has a new line out called Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Makeup.

In this line they have three pieces: foundation, concealer and powder, all meant to be worn together to create a more youthful appearance.

Their “Youth-Boosting Technology” includes 3 Cosmeceutical ingredients:

• Encapsulated Ceramide3 & Hyaluronic acid which smooths skin, creates elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Microspheres of Magnesium Silicate & Silica which are diffusers that create a soft-focus finish and absorb oil (basically a primer)
• Lamiaria Algae Extract which is a plant based medicine that tones, moisturizes and supports collagen production in skin.

There are some hefty claims they make that are based on a panel of women using the Youthful Wear system:

• 100% saw flawless results instantly
• 100% saw smoother skin instantly
• 100% saw less deep wrinkles and less fine lines instantly
• 100% saw younger looking skin instantly
• 100% of women would use Youthful Wear as an alternative to a cosmetic procedure
• 95% felt skin appeared lifted instantly
• 95% saw firmer looking skin instantly

Hmm. Some things I agree with, but then again I could say them about using many different primer/foundation/concealer combinations.
