Physicians Formula is a drugstore brand well known for their good quality products made especially for people with sensitive skin. I have tried a couple of items from their line, and because they more more expensive than most drugstore brands, their quality is definitely better. The product packaging is more durable than most and the formula applies better and lasts longer on your face.
To celebrate Valentine's Day, I picked up their newest item:
Happy Booster: Glow & Mood Boosting Powder
(in Translucent).

This powder comes in various other shades including Beige, Light Bronzer and Bronzer.
I got the lightest colour (Translucent) because I wasn't looking for a face powder; I was looking for more of a highlighter. The Beige colour could be used for powder, and the light and bronzer colours are darker powders that can be used for .... well, bronzer of course.
What attracted me most to this product was their packing. If you have seen Physicians Formula, their packaging is nothing SPECTACULAR. However, their newest Happy Booster has the cutest packaging that I had to purchase it! It comes in a cute, metallic hot pink package with cute hearts as the powder.
The product has 2 separate sections. The top is the powder, while the bottom section has a mirror and comes with a small brush applicator.

According to Physicians Formula's website, Happy Booster does the following:
- Ultra-smooth, perfecting powder in a complementary palette of color blends together to even out skin tone with a flawless radiance.
- Vibrant pink heart gives cheeks a healthy pop of color.
- Infused with our 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.
- The sweet scent of Violet provides a feeling of joy each time you apply.
- Hypoallergenic
- Paraben free
- Dermatologist approved & Non-Comedogenic.
Keep in mind that I purchased the lightest colour because I wanted to use this product as a highlighter (NOT FACE POWDER!)
Because there are various, shiny colours in the packaging, it was a perfect blend for a highlighter for my face. However, their claim with their "Happy Boost Blend" featuring Euphoryl to promote a feeling of happiness is just an exaggeration. I mean, feeling upset one minute and applying the product on your face, is not going to turn your frown upside down! (it's going to take more than Euphoryl and natural plant extracts to do that!)
Their promotion of saying that their product has a scent of Violet is accurate! The smell is pleasant and very light. And no, people will not be able to smell the Violet scent if you have the product on your face (for those silly bugs who are wondering).
The packaging is extra cute because it does come with a small applicator brush that's pink and red (Valentine Day themed!). Although the brush is not exactly the best quality brush out there, it does apply the product effectively! With the brush included, it's a more convenient way of applying the product when you're going out.

I am not entirely sure if this product is a limited edition just for Valentine's Day! However, on their website, it says nothing of the sort, so hopefully it is a permanent item in their line. If you do get the chance, definitely take a swatch from Physicians Formula's latest product.
INDULGE.
