Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Nude Palette {Review}

Posted on the 18 July 2013 by Sassysweetstyle @ChaniaB

Recently, I had a great haul from CVS, & this Physicians Formula Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner Nude Eyes Palette was one of the gems I found.  While I haven’t tried the Naked Palette from Urban Decay, I heard this was comparable & definitely much more affordable at $12.79. Here is my review. :)

Pros

1.  You can wear shadows dry for a more demure effect, or wet for a more dramatic effect {I am wearing wet}.

2.  Nude shades that complement every skin tone.

3.  GORGEOUS pink & black lace packaging.

4.  The palette tilts from left to right which is a surprising, yet awesome feature.

5.  Shadow lasted all day after enduring rain & a runny allergy eye with my e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer.

6. Gorgeous shimmer.

7.  I may be interpreting this wrong, but it seems to me they put the colors in order in “sets” with the skinny strip being the crease shade.

8. Pretty affordable for a large palette, especially if you can get on sale/use coupons.

9. Hypoallergenic, fragrance & paraben free.

Cons

1.  With the colors being stacked on top of each other, it was difficult to “stay between the lines”, especially if using your finger or another brush/tool other than the provided one.

2.  I may end up neglecting some of my other shadows because I’m a sucker for shimmery, nude shades.

Verdict

Since I haven’t tried the Naked Palette from Urban Decay, I can’t say if this is just as good, but if you’re looking for a shimmery nude palette without breaking the bank, this is worth a try.
