I bought this a few days ago and so far I like it. I was going to check out reviews before I committed to buying this but there wasn't any unfortunately. :-(
I got this powder palette in the shade Natural Glow. On the box it says
"Just the right color combination to provide a natural nude glow. Lightweight texture with sheer coverage delivers a natural matte finish. Made from the finest Italian talc and ideal for all skin types"
It is also for all skin tones as well! The texture is very soft and is supposed to provide a soft, natural color without a harsh monotone cast.
I do have to agree with this because I didn't want something that was going to be super shimmery when I went outside or a white cast when taking pictures. Which sadly some of these products do this to me because I am so dark skinned. I either sometimes use a powder like the fox in the box that provides the almost same thing for my skin tone but sometimes I want a natural looking glow rather than a shimmery glow. And you notice the bronze when I go outside on a summery day. But in pictures it makes my skin look flawless. (which I love and you ladies always comment on it.. this is why ha ha)
Physicians Formula's powder palette does have some shimmer in it but it isn't a whole lot which is what I had wanted. After I put on my primer and foundation I like to set my makeup with this. It just kinda pulls everything together nicely. I was a little iffy about this to begin with because of the color. I know it says for all skin tones but sometimes that for some reason its all skin tones but mine. I have such a hard time with foundation because of my skin color. :-( Its a real downer! So I am happy with this. :-)
As you can see it is a mosaic palette which is nice because it has a few spots of yellow and browns in it which is good for my skin tone. I don't know if you guys can see but it does have a few color spots that has a little shimmer in it. It is very subtle when its on your face. The white does and the yellow spot is more of a subtle shimmery color. The rest are matte. So there is a nice balance going on there.
Now, with the thing that I do not like about this product. The compact is really cute, however, it flips the palette up and there is a powder puff in the bottom of it. Also a mirror. I kinda don't like that. Not to mention it doesn't stay down when you open it. So if you have it in your hand and your putting it on and you swirl your brush in it, then tap and I don't know if any of you do this but I always tip my compact over and dust it out when I'm done. So the top flips over and smacks against the lid. Now the glue seems like it is coming loose on the pan so it might come out one of these days. :-/ hopefully it won't while I'm tapping it! ha ha But that just kinda makes it look like its cheaply made. Seeing how I just bought it! :-/
But other than that little thing I like it! I paid $13.51 can for this. It was $20.99 without taxes. I used my shopper's points for this. :-)
I was going to take a face picture but then I got lazy! ha ha :-P
As always thank you much for reading!

Great review I've been wanting a new powder, might give this a try
I've heard a lot about the bronzer and the blush but I never knew they had a powder! If I remember well, I think Taygan didn't like it much... at least you had more luck than her!
yeah there are so many powders by physicians formula its insane! And I think what she got was a blush.
Yeah physicanis formula can go bad if it sits on the shelf too long.. which I didn't know I was googling and found that many ladies found that this happened to them.
