Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer (MSF lookalike?)

[Pimptress]

Have any of you seen this? It looks almost EXACTLY like an MSF, dome shape and all, with the shimmery veining and all. I bought it today. It's niiiiiice. I can't compare it, though, because I don't own any MSFs.

I got "Baked Tan"

"Bronzing and Shimmery face powder baked on italian terracotta tiles!"

I have this in the same shade as you bought, and I love it! It IS very similar to MAC's MSFs, particularly Naked You (if I had to choose the most similar), except that the PF product doesn't have as much flyaway glitter.

PF is definitely one of my favorite drugstore brands these days!

I saw those in the store but didn't get to really look at them. My first thought was those look like MSF's!

 

[Throwaway Style]

That's what i thought when i saw them

I wanna try one out when I get the money to spare on one.

 

[fairytale22]

They look pretty nice!

M.S.F. Substitute.

I found this while browsing the P.F. site, and I figured it may actually work like an M.S.F., but wanted to post it just in case anyone else could use the info.

I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to.

I saw them in person and was amazed at how close they resemble ... but haven't tried them yet.

 

[lovejam]

I wouldn't buy one, but I'd love to hear what you think of them once you get one.

I went to a local store and saw it. It's looks like the MSF with the domed shape, but there wasn't much of the gold veilings in them like the MSF. Haven't tried it so I can't say if it works well.

There used to be a post on here with a link to an Italian Company that had ones that looked EXACTLY like the MAC ones,. I emailed them but they never answered back,... If anyone has had any success in finding those I would like to know.

I emailed them as well. They replied telling me that they currently don't have a distributor for their products in the US. They used to awhile back. They are hoping to again someday.

Thanks Aziajs! That is nice to know,.. that is too bad,..

 

[samila18]

yes I've seen that.. the PF bronzer.. the ones I saw had a lot of veining in them.. so pretty! but then I found people willing to sell BN/almost BN msfs so I caved and went with those instead! but for a cheaper version of an msf - something like shimpagne/naked you combined - I would so go for it if I didn't already have both of those

 

[mpicky]

I use the baked bronzer and I love it, but I have never used a MSF, so I can't compare. It is not too expensive and you probably could return it if you didn't like it, so I say buy it and try it out. If you have a MSF, I would love to see swatches comparing.

i have the baked bronzer and like it a lot- i don't have any MSFs that i use as bronzers- just pink ones. And I'm definitely bronzer-phobic, but this is the nicest one I've tried

 

[LipstickChick]

PF's Baked Tan is very similar to MAC's Naked You MSF, except I think the MAC product actually has more glittery flyaways than the PF product.

PF has really stepped up this year in terms of bringing some cool new products to their line -- I love them!

 

[XxTinker_BellxX]

I use this product on a daily basis, i love it this is actually my second one

I have never used MSF but IMO these are G R E A T!!!!!! i even dropped it and now use it as a loose powder

 

[asnbrb]

I have one of those and I like it, but MSF's still make me more "glowy" (I'm an NC35)

 

[avjwc]

Try the BAKED BLUSH in BERRY. Everyone says it's similiar to stereo rose. It goes on PINK, not berry.

I know we had these last year in Canada, but they weren't available on their own. They came bundled with stuff I didn't want so I never got them. I hope they re-release them here on their own this year. I really like PF products. In fact, they remind me a lot of Guerlain stuff.
