Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Review!



Ok so I got paid yesterday, therefore I went shopping. Which pretty much means, NEW makeup! So I have been eyeing the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow. I decided on the "green eyes" collection. It had the most beautiful colors, plus a wide array of different colors. And wow, this was an AWESOME buy. At just under 10 dollars I got 9 beautiful eyeshadows, all are really nicely pigmented, and with a good primer will last ALL day. My next post will have a tutorial using this palette, but the pictures were taken 9 hours after it was applied with NO touch ups (plus a 6 hour work shift in between) and it still looked beautiful! But back to the review..here are some swatches broken down with my reviews:

NYX Champagne and Caviar 10 Eyeshadow Palette Review



Hi ladies and gents, time for another review! About a month ago I bought the NYX Champagne and Caviar pallete. I wanted a nice neutral palette for work, but didn't want to shell out 50 bucks for the Urban Decay naked palette. So this was the cheapest alternative. I wanted to really give the palette a good *go* before I reviewed it. So I think enough time has passed to give a full review. I will be giving swatches with and without a base, and I may also be giving a few tutorials for some nice daytime looks that I've created with this palette. I just might have to go back and buy some more in the future ;).

I must say though, I absolutely ADORE this palette! There are a few colors that I love more then others, but I can live with that. Cost averages around 10 dollars (plus shipping for me) and for several amazing colors, this is a good buy for your money! I have created so many beautiful daytime looks from this palette. A couple of the matte shadows seem slightly chalky, but again, not TOO terribly bad. I've definitely had worse shadows from the drug store! But some of these colors are amazingly rich and beautiful and they all blend wonderfully too! I'll post some overall swatches then review each of the colors individually. So here ya go:
