Review: Physician's Formula Super BB InstaReady Filter Trio Powder SPF 30
 |
| $14.99 |
Sometimes, I just try buy new products on a whim. Physician's Formula has launched a new product line for the Selfie generation called #InstaReady. Good get...if not them, CoverGirl or Maybelline would have gotten their first.
The product features, "InstaFilter Technology, " a proprietary blend of mattifying and pore balancing spherical beads, color filter pigments and high-tech polymers that work together to instantly optimize light reflection, blur imperfections and visibly retexturize skin, while protecting against UVA/UVB damage with SPF 30."
This multi-tasking Filter Trio BB Powder can also be used as a contouring palette, to sculpt, define and highlight.
The trio has three shades:
#NudeFilter: Sheer, translucent finishing powder captures and diffuses light delivering a soft nude glow
#HealthyGlow: Blends warm and cool pigments that soften & diffuse light, instantly brightening complexion
#Sunset: Universally flattering powder, blurs imperfections and enhances overall complexion with a subtle warmth.
Sunset, the deepest shade is perfect for contouring the cheekbones, jawline, sides of nose, and hairline. Nude Filter is gorgeous for highlighting brow bones, tops of cheekbones, chins and cupid bows.
Swirled together, and applied with a fluffy powder brush, I could see all their claims come to life. "Blur" is my new best friend. They SPF 30? A bonus. Best of all, Super BB InstaReady Filter Trio Powder SPF 30, besides being a mouthful, is even more effective than two of my pricier purchases, Guerlain's Meteorite Powder and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder.
I liked it so well, I went back today and purchased the InstaReady BB Cream as well. Good thing CVS in Westchester County is as ubiquitous as the requisite bank on every corner; I went to three in search of the deepest shade. It's not possible that they could only make InstaReady BB cream in Light and Light/Medium, is it?
Apparently, YES. A bit short sighted donchathink? It took my googling the website to confirm. I'm concerned it may be a tad light, but the rave reviews caused me to take a chance (and hold onto my receipt.)
Until tomorrow...

I've been enjoying reading these reviews since I stumbled upon your blog a couple of weeks ago. I've been dying to try this particular product. I applaud those talented enough to properly contour with multiple products but I don't think I'd be very good at that and so anything is simplified and smooshed into one product is a huge help for me. I'm a PF kick lately and I've got a coupon for any item at CVS so I may just have to pick this one up.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they don't make dark--that seems insane of them.
Thank you Redfoxinafield! Glad you are enjoying my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThe powder trio can definitely be used to contour and highlight. It certainly is more subtle than the Laura Geller one I use. They also made a contour stick, which is even easier since it does not require brush work. You do have to bob and weave a bit while used it, except for that initial swipe under the cheekbone.
I decided to keep it to toss in my makeup bag for day to night quick fixes. Not sure you need both...
