Sticky, patchy, problematic to apply and don't blend out well... ;(

I got two of these palettes, one in “Nude” and one in “Smoky Blue Eyes”. I didn’t purchase both of them at the same time; the “smoky” one was the first one I had purchased. Loved the range of colors and I felt like I really wanted to like the quality of the shadows, but they just had a really strange consistency… It reminded me a little of those shimmery shadows that you can som...read moreetimes buy at the dollar store; very pretty when you look at them but problematic to apply and definitely don’t look the same way on the eyes. These shadows were a little sticky and patchy at the same time if that makes any sense, and once you apply them, the color that transfers onto the eyes is very muted and quite different from what you see in the palette. You can build them but they look cakey and even though you get more color payoff when you build them, the color still looks dull. The “Nude” palette – I just couldn’t resist the packaging and since that was about a year or so later, I had hoped that the formula had been changed but no luck. Very similar experience with that palette as well. I love the idea of these because you get a good range of colors, the packaging is very attractive and compact, but these two were a total fail for me unfortunately, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who’s on the fence about them. Especially because they are quite pricey for a drugstore product and to be honest, if you are on a budget, I would much rather recommend the “nude” and “smokey” palettes from “e.l.f.”. Their “Endless Eyes Pro Mini” in the “Studio” line ($6) has the nudes, the pinks and a good range of dark colors for smokey looks, and it blows these two out of the water. By the way, generally, I’m a very big fan of this brand and I own and love many of their products such as their translucent powder (been using it for years), mineral blushes, the new “shimmer pots” they had recently come out with, their yellow concealer and a few other things as well. So I’m not happy at all to say that I didn’t enjoy these cute palettes, but I have to be honest.

Very good

I bought this because my eyes are hazel, and I know pinks and browns look good on me. I don't use the brush applicator, I wet my finger or a q-tip and apply. That way it stays on, and I can get many looks from one collection.

Awesome

I really enjoyed the combinations of color. I had no idea that pink went so well with my eye color and completion.

Review subject

Great colors highly pigmented but shimmer gets on under eye area. The brush has a god shape but is harsh on skin. creases a little.

Physicans Formula enhancing shadow bronze for brown eyes

I love this particular shimmer strip.It has the perfect blend of bronze shades and makes my brown eyes pop and sparkle.This shadow blends so easy and is super forgiving,anyone with experience or none can come up with a beautiful look with this.The compact is small and easy to store or take with you in your purse.Only negative I can say is that the applicator is ok but most eye shadows come with eh...read moreh applicators anyways.The applicator is good at applying shadow to your lower lash line as a liner though.Best part is that Riteaid usually does a BOGO Sale on Physicians Formula and you get more than your money's worth because this is a awesome product and you can use the other shimmer strips together with this one to create endless looks.
