Okay, so first off, I must confess that I have a borderline obsession with palettes (Ok, and their packaging). LOVE. THEM.
So, naturally, when I saw the nude collection, I HAD to have it. The precious case alone did it for me.
See?
Okay, onto the details...
In this palette there are 9 complementary nude tone colors. It also comes with a foam doe foot brush (which sucks, so that went away asap).
This palette retails for $9.63 at Walmart. Which is not bad for Physician's Formula.
I wore three of the colors to a baby shower yesterday and they lasted all day. However, I will say that if I had not used my Urban Decay primer underneath, I don't think that I would have had the same outcome. The shadows are very sheer (except for the two darkest colors) and NEED a primer to look their best. The swatches on my hand all have primer underneath as well. I wanted to do a comparison hand with no primer, however, none of the colors were coming out dark enough to see. I also don't like how some colors are wider than others. It makes it hard to pick up just one specific color on the brush. I will say though there is a lot of room for imagination when it comes to mixing these colors together and creating a ton of different looks.
Yet another reason why I love palettes!
Pros:
cute packaging
colors complement all skin tones
can use for an array of looks
not very expensive for a palette
Cons:
crappy little brush included
MUST use a primer with most colors
has a bit of fallout when using a brush
some color strips are just too skinny!
Verdict: I have to say, I really do like this product. The primer issue is not a big deal for me because I use primer every time I wear eyeshadow. I like to think of this as the "poor mans" Urban Decay Naked palette because a lot of the colors mimic those found in the UD palette. (so, what I'm saying is, if you love the naked palette, but don't want to shell out the big bucks, then grab this one!) I will play around with it a bit more before I decide to buy another one.
