Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker pH Powered Makeup Lip Gloss, Matches Your Lip Color Based On PH Levels, Personalized Color Changing, Light Pink

That's right: I'm a 65-year-old semi-retiree and free-lance writer working from home. Good looks may not be way up there on my list of values and priorities, but I still enjoy looking pretty and chic, and I tend to take some care with my appearance. Even for a quick trip to the corner store, when I skip most of the drill (foundation, eyeliner, etc.), I will usually smooth my favorite moisturizer over my face and dab on some Physicians Formula pH Powered Lip Gloss -- always in Pink, since the Light Pink shade doesn't quite work for me. I've been startled to receive many compliments on my lip color. I wear the gloss alone and find that I get the perfect skin-complementing color that way. I no longer buy any other lipstick or lip gloss, since this one is right for every occasion and every variation in ambient lighting. It has a nice, skin-soothing consistency and the perfect "natural" look. I've been ordering the Physicians Formula gloss at Amazon ever since my local CVS stopped carrying it, at least in my shade. Please understand that I am a tough customer and a rigorous critic: of consumer-products in general, and cosmetics in particular. These days I rarely buy make-up at upscale department stores, having found that I can save hugely by scouting out acceptable equivalents at the drugstore or discount store. At heart I am a minimalist; the relatively few other categories of discretionary-income purchases I do make repeatedly include books, DIY necessities, and basic art supplies. Since I first started wearing make-up regularly, around age 14 or 15, I have hunted in vain for a lipstick I could love and rely on. My skin is unusually fair but has a good texture and is one of my better features. I have never been happy with any of the 9.5 zillion lipstick colors (slight exaggeration) I have gone through over the past five decades. During the "Color Me Beautiful" era I did learn that I was a "Winter" and needed to seek out cool blue undertones in both clothing and make-up. This marginally improved my choice of lip colors, but a truly appropriate and complimentary shade still eluded me. Physicians Formula pH Powered Lip Gloss freed me from ever having to select a lip color again, only to be repeatedly disappointed and dissatisfied. It always looks perfect. Moreover, when I check out my mouth in a mirror after four or five hours, it still looks fresh -- no need to reapply. I do not understand the chemistry of the stuff, but there is no question that it adapts to your individual coloring. I believe there are similar products available in the high-end market. In fact, I just saw a recommendation for one such lip gloss in a magazine. It was available from Sephora, but for about triple the price of this one. If you decide to give this lip gloss a try, you are at high risk of loving it. My one caveat: You may want to make an initial investment in two or even all three of the shades offered, since Light Pink or Natural may suit you better than Pink. I can't regret wasting some money on the Light Pink before I settled on Pink, since I am now saving huge amounts of money on endless trials of other shades from other manufacturers, none of which worked for me. I can not praise Physicians Formula highly enough: In the relatively small and frivolous arena of cosmetics, it is a breakthrough -- a revelation -- an epiphany. In fact, the only room for improvement here is in the company name. There really should be an apostrophe either before or after "Physicians" in "Physicians Formula." Alas, this omission has become ubiquitous -- the apostrophe is either vanishing or long gone from company names throughout the English-speaking world. (Yes, I know, it may be surprising, but even some of us natural-born pedants and punctuation nerds do not feel dressed without our lip gloss!)

This is the third pH lip gloss I have tried. Both other brands were 2 to 3 times as expensive as this brand and this one is just as good if not better than the other two. I love the color it brings out on my lips. It is very moisturizing. And even though the glossiness wears away overtime, the color the pH brings out lasts even though the glossiness has faded! Oh, and on top of the incredible price, and longevity of the PH effect, the container has a mirror and the wand has a light. INGENIOUS! I will not be purchasing the other brands anymore.

I got this because I was like hmm a mirror and a light that makes it easy to apply and convenient to use sign me up. The only issue I have with it is the neck of the bottle is kinda fragile and breaks easily leaving my purse filled with pink and glitter, this happened to me twice. I love this product and its perks but the neck of the bottle is fragile even when I bought this one on 2 different occasions to see if the neck of the bottle would not break again and it did.

Yep, like other reviewers, it broke! Less than 1 week in my purse. Thankfully I caught it before it did any damage and got my purse all sticky and colorful. I was hoping that mine would be a different batch or something but unfortunately not. The sad part, is that I REALLY like the product itself. It turns the perfect shade(s) for me but I can’t take it anywhere since it doesn’t seal or close anymore. Even in a baggy it spilled out. Maybe I’ll try a different container and dab it on without the brush but hate spending money on something that breaks days in!

Gloss is a good replacement for my discontinued HG, Tarte’s Energy gloss. Color changes to the right shade, although this is actually a little more pigmented. I don’t find it to be particularly moisturizing and don’t enjoy the scent as much, but it will tint my lips for the entire day/night with one or two reapplications to achieve a more dramatic look. The packaging is kind of ugly and wasteful imo though. Cool idea, but I’ve never wanted a light on my lipgloss (the battery is obviously unrecycleable) and it broke almost instantly, and I don’t need a mirror either. Plus it’s a bit tacky. The brush also splayed out right away, I think the tube opening is too tight for it. All of that is pretty inconsequential though, because it’s hard to find a color this flattering that lasts. Would buy again, but pretty sure this product is also discontinued now.

I purchased this lip gloss a long time ago. The lip gloss is used up but the light still works and the mirror is a great addition. So I bought this lip gloss again. Same thing as before only a different color. This is for women on the go that want to have a great product, easy application with added benefits. I do not understand the reviews that say the light does not work, the lip gloss is not good, the mirror is whatever. Never had any of those problems myself.

Really is true to its claim and no extra work needed. Better and safer than injections or lip altering procedures. No need to keep re-applying; long lasting.

Great product. Very moisturizing and shade adjusts to your skin tone which is a huge help with selecting proper lip shade.
