Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer, Blush & Eye Shadow
Still not sure how I feel about this.
First of all, the packaging is adorable! I think I must have an updated version of this because the shimmer strips are actually wavy and it says that it is a blush as well as a highlighter. I have it in the "Healthy Glow" shade, which is a very cool-toned berry pink. I only swipe my brush along the lighter shades of pink because the darker ones leave my cheeks looking rather magenta-colored. It blends in well and lasts a long time. The reason why I am not sure how I feel about this product is that it seems to draw attention to the pores on my cheeks thus making them appear larger. Also, while I love products with shimmer in them, I think this blush has a bit too much-so much in fact that it almost has a rather metallic finish to it that looks rather odd on my cheeks. Maybe that's why it emphasises my pores? I tone it down by dusting face powder over it but it is still rather noticeable. So maybe using this as an eyeshadow would be a better option. That's what I may end up doing, mostly because I don't want to waste the 10$ I spent on it.

I agree with the reviewer above. These are pretty much impossible to find now, even when they weren't (back around when I was in high school and junior high) I still had a hard time getting my hands on them because they were so popular that all the colors were always picked over and sold out. And while (most of) the colors were great, the thing that I love, love LOVED about these lipsticks was the texture! They are so creamy, almost gel-like! If you ca imagine Korre's lip butter in lipstick form this would be it! These always made my lips feel super moist and hydrated! A winner!

It seems that I have had alot of bad luck with Physicians Formula face products, and this stuff is no exception. It looked terribly orange on me, and when your face makeup looks too orange it just throws the rest of your makeup off and makes things look terrible!I would say if you have skin like mine-very fair and neutral-look elsewhere.

This body scrub has a rather "synthetic" feel to it. I don't know if that really makes any sense to anyone, I can't really describe it any better than that. The lather is somewhat lacking. It delivers no moisturization, I would actually go so far as to say that given the fact that it is a scrub along with that, it alomost feel like it strips skin of its moisture-so use lotion afterwards! Oh, and alog those lines I wouldn't recommned using it in dry wintertime like I did. The scent is pleasant enough I suppose, if not a little juvenile-it smells like a peach-flavored sucker. I don't think I would be interested in purchasing this again.

Nair removed hardly any hair! It just dossolved it half way down (if even that) so that I was still left with ALOT of annoying stubble. It also gave me the worst chemical burn I've ever had. I only had it on the time they reccommend before I was rushing to remove it as soon as I possibly could-the burning was horrible! After that I was left with inflamed, bright red legs. So it was like adding insult to injury: not only was I left with just about as much hair as before, but I couldn't even shave it off when I wanted to because of the pain this awful stuff caused. Oh, it smelled bad too. I thought the baby oil would make it smell better-but it didn't. It smelled like baby powder and sulfur-like a baby that needed a diaper change...eeew! I will never be trying hair removal cream/gel again.

Trying to use this product just about drove me crazy! It was almost impossible to blend it evenly my your lids, I ended up with uneven patches of color whenever I applied it. At first I though it was just because the applicator sponge was lousy-alot of times when I pulled it out of the tube there was either no product or the eyeshadow hung in annoying little clumps on it-so I tried shaking some out on my palm and applying it a different way, but I had the same results =(. A very uneven application! I would say this was a waste of my time and money.

Sephora discontinued this prodcut and I can see why. It's called "allover color" but the colors are so deep I would just stick to using it as an eyeshadow. But even then this product really isn't all that great. The glitter is really coarse so it scratches a little when you apply it, I would say the chances of developing an eye irritation with this stuff is probably high.

This is a great gloss that is not too thin nor heavy and sticky! It has the perfect cosistency. I own it in the pink shade and it is a perfect sheer candy pink, but not a sickeningly make-your-teeth-yellow pink. Great shimmer and shine. I love the light, pleasant scent too, smells like lemonade, sugar and ripe berries! Yum!

The most exposure I have had to lips stains were in a gel or liquid form so they were kind of messy-not fun. The only lip stain pen (before this one) was one from Bourjois that just didn't have hardly any color at all-also not fun. This product is great because it delivers the color of a liquid without the mess. I would apply it with light hand because the color is pretty strong, if you're not careful you'll wind up looking like you sucked on a marker! I would say that it would eb best to exfoliate your lips before applying otherwise the color can look rather uneven. Also, it would be a good ide to put a balm or a gloss over it for a little moisture-and dimension. The only thing I'm not real wild about is the smell, it is a little alcohol-ey, but I don't notice it after it's on my lips. I'm also a little paranoid about it drying out, but I don't really have a big reason to suspect that it will

I have very fair skin and every single foundation I've ever had looked too orange/pink on me, even this one(especially when you start getting to the bottom of the bottle, so shake it up every time you use it,). The difference with this stuff is that it is the product that I have used so far that looked the least orange-I'm an N1, by the way. I cut down on the orangey by mixing 1 part foundation with one part facial lotion and that makes it looks alot better-that and the application is smoother as this product has a bit of a dryness to it, so apply a lotion or a dewy primer prior to use and it becomes very easy to blend. I use a foundation brush for it and that has seemed to work best.
