Helllllo everyone and happy Tuesday! And before you say anything, there is always a reason to be happy. Gotta think positive; be happy because today is no longer Monday, we're one day closer to weekend.
I hope you all had an enjoyable Monday night. Did ya'll check out my Manicure Monday: Many Shades of Purple yesterday? The shades of purples in a pizzazzed up manicure. Head on over to check it out if you have not already. :P
That was yesterday, for today, I want to share with you a palette I've been using endlessly lately. It's not a big palette, it is quite small with only nine strips of shade. I'm talking about the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow in the Nude collection.
I don't own a lot of Physicians Formula's eyeshadow, I'm more into their face products. However, I do own three of their Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow collection, okay, that is waaaaaay too long to keep typing, from this point onward, I shall refer to it simply as Nude. Out of the three, I must say I favorite this one the most. It's just so easy to use and wear, albeit all of the shadows are highly shimmery.
I like the formula of the eyeshadows even though the texture isn't as creamy as other shadows, but it isn't dry or flaky either. It just doesn't feel buttery between my fingers. I absolutely adore the fact that these shadows have very little fall outs, if any in that case. My brushes picks up the shadows well, with ease. I have no problem blending these shadows out, nor have issues of them showing up. With that said, these shadows can be worn wet and dry. I usually wear it dry for the softer look...and it's quicker that way. But when I want to intensify the shadow, I'll wear it wet, There is definitely a stark difference between wet and dry. Also, with water, these shadows can be worn as a type of eye liner, especially flattering for the lower lash line.
When it comes to cute packaging, Physicians Formula has got that down. I absolutely adore the cute packaging on this palette so much! The satin nude fabric, covered by black lace, finished off with a nice satin pink bow. How can anyone not love that?! Cute packaging they have down, but not travel-friendly. Their face products especially, they're not compact at all because they all have a compartment for the brush it comes along with so it's very thick and dome-y. It takes up a lot of space in a tiny make up bag. Buttttt, but Nude here is very compact; it is thin and flat. However, the only problem I have with it is that the lid is closed by just a magnet, no clasp or anything to secure it. It could be easily opened, with literally one finger. I took this with me to Vega last July, and the whole time, I was worried that Nude might have accidentally opened and yeah....don't like the idea of a ruin palette and the shadows getting all over. Luckily though, that did not happen because I packed it well.
