Physicians Formula Baked Collection Wet/Dry Eye Shadow Luminous Matte

Physicians Formula Baked Collection Wet/Dry Eye Shadow Luminous Matte

I have the Baked Sugar trio, and I am really please with the performance. It can be used wet or dry, and it isn't really matte, it has a very subtle luminosity about it. It really makes my eyes look so nice. The colors are nicely pigmented, they are buildable and blendable, and when applied wet, they really have a nice depth and dimension. I had no creasing or smudging after hours of wear even without a primer. The texture is really nice as well, they apply really well. This trio performs just as well as most high end shadows for me, without the high end price tag.

Physicians Formula Baked Collection Wet/Dry Eye Shadow

Physicians Formula Baked Collection Wet/Dry Eye Shadow

I have 2 of these trios and I am really happy with the performance of them both. I have Baked Oatmeal and Baked Sugar which are both neutral earthy colors. I love baked makeup, it just has such a great texture and these trios can be used wet or dry, and when used wet, it really makes an impact. They are buildable, blendable and last very well, even on my oily skin. They had no creasing or smudging after hours of wear even without primer. They performed as well as most high end shadows do for me, except these are a bargain compared to most high end shadows.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer, Blush & Eye Shadow

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer, Blush & Eye Shadow

I liked these so well, I bought 4. I have Riviera Strip/Sand Bronzer, Miami Strip/Healthy Glow Bronzer, Sunset Strip/Bronzer, and Malibu Strip/ Pink Sand Bronzer. They are so versatile and each collection is very nicely coordinated as well. You can use each strip of color individually or mix them, they work so well together. The shimmer is nice, and gives a subtle glow. I have used them as eye shadow as well as blush and bronzer, and they last very well, no eye shadow creasing or smudging, and they don't fade off into some weird orange color. They are nicely pigmented, are very silky in texture and apply really nice, they are blendable and buildable, and I had a great bargain, my local pharmacy had bogo and coupons, so they were really a great deal.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Eye Shadow Duo

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Eye Shadow Duo

I really like these duos and I have Sweet Minerals, Taupe Minerals, Natural Minerals, and Nude Minerals. I am really pleased with all of them too, I don't have a favorite. They are really nicely coordinated, and I really like the finish. They have a great texture, they apply nicely, are buildable, as well as blendable. I had no problem with creasing, smudging or fading after hours of wear even without primer.

Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer Bronzing & Shimmery Face Powder

Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer Bronzing & Shimmery Face Powder

I love bronzers, and I love baked makeup, so this is a match made in heaven for me. I have Baked Bronze, and I am really happy with the quality, I compare it to Urban Decay Baked Bronzer. The shimmery veining is really nice, but not too much, it has a great texture and applies nicely. It didn't oxidize into some weird orange color as other bronzers have on my oily skin. I found it to look really natural, and it is easily buildable, as well as blendable. It is a really great product for the money.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Eye Shadow Quad

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Eye Shadow Quad

I have the Bronze Minerals and the Amber Minerals quads and I really like them. The are really silky in texture, easily applied, blendable as well as buildable. I had no creasing or smudging after hours of wear even without a primer. The quads are nicely coordinated and for the money, they are a great value. I suggest using a good eye shadow brush, the applicators that come in the comapct aren't that great, but the little compact is nice, it has a decent mirror, and are small enough to toss in a handbag for touch ups.

Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad Eye Shadow

Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad Eye Shadow

I have the Canyon quad, and I really like it. The shadows are nicely coordinated, they are buildable as well as blendable, and they last really well for me, and I am extremely oily. I had no problems with creasing or fading even when I didn't use a primer. They are quite silky in texture and are easily applied, just use a brush and not the crappy applicators they come with.

Jane Shimmering Bronzer Powder

Jane Shimmering Bronzer Powder

I love bronzers, and for the money these are really nice. I have Mojave and Fiji, and I am pretty happy with them, but after a while of wear, they seem to become somewhat faded and the shimmer takes over. The compact is really cute, and the brush that is included isn't bad, but it isn't that great. It is ok for touch ups, but for initial application, use a good brush, the results are far better.

Le Couvent des Minimes Honey & Shea Nourishing Hand Cream

Le Couvent des Minimes Honey Nourishing Hand Cream

I try to keep a tube of this delightfully smelling product in my purse, my bed room, my kitchen, just every where. I am really hard on my hands. I do house work and dishes with out gloves and my hands are always in water. I use this cream after every exposure to water, and it the Winter here in Michigan, this cream is a God send. It keeps my hands looking and feeling great. It absorbs quickly, isn't sticky or greasy, and it has made my hands look and feel so much better than before I started using it. The tube is very nice and it is recycleable, which is a bonus for me. It smells wonderful and it is very effective with continued use. I haven't even looked to find a better product because this is the best product for me.

La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS FLUIDE EXTREME

La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS FLUIDE EXTREME

My cousin lives in Italy and she mentioned this sun screen to me. When I asked her more about it, she sent me a tube and told me to try it myself. I am so glad I did. This is my go to holy grail sunscreen. I use it all over, it doesn't irritate my skin, it doesn't make me break out, and I don't burn as long as I reapply it as necessary. I order it fom a pharmacia in Spain, it is cheaper, but I would pay anything for this product. it is the absolute best sun screen I have ever used as well as the most effective.
