Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner in Nude Eyes Palette Initial Thoughts and Swatches

Damn but that's a long title. Sorry about that. There are so many words on the packaging.

I picked this up today at CVS as an impulse buy. No sale. No extrabucks. I JUST WANTED IT. :) Well, technically there was a Physicians Formula sale but I don't use a lot of face makeup and I haven't had luck with some of their other products, but the promise of a nude palette to rival Urban Decay's practically famous Naked Palette was more than I could resist. I've been lusting after this ever since I first saw it on Musings of a Muse and Nouveau Cheap. And now...it...is...mine.

This is just going to be a post of initial thoughts about the formula, color, and packaging with some swatches since obviously I haven't tried the palette out yet.

Packaging: I think the packaging is really adorable. It's light pink overlaid with black lace and it just looks sweet and girly with a slight edge the way light pink and black lace operates in lingerie.

The palette is a little on the small side compared to the UD Naked Palette but then again it is 1/3 to 1/4 of the price depending on where you buy it and if there's a sale.
