The Shimmer Strips come in a rectangular peach, black and white colored cardboard box. On the back of the box, you will find instructions on how to create a bronze nude eye look  using this palette.   The rectangular bright bronze glitter cardboard palette is a flip top opening with a magnetic closure to secure the eyeshadows. The lid has a plastic clear film that allows you to see the color of the different eyeshadows. The company's name is also found on this plastic film in white letters. The plastic black insert in between the two glittered parts has some company information and product information in white letters. When you flip open the palette, you will see the six eye shadows that are meant to be divided into two sets of trios.

Chart Review:

Pros

Cons

Cruelty Free Hypoallergenic Paraben Free Gluten Free Dermatologist approved Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers No smell detected Great pigmentation - can be made more intense if used wet All the shades were buildable with intense pigmentation minus the brown black and pale nude ones that were patchy at first but after a few passes the coverage was better Can create a lot of versatile looks Lightweight Smooth Application Texture is not powder but no really gel/liquid

Only ship to the USA and Puerto Rico No matte shades in palette Rough textured sponge applicatior that applies the eyeshadow pretty patchy A bit of fall out and glitter transfer if not used wet Do not recommend using these shadows dry you'll end up with a chunky/creasy mess Don't know why they would promise up to 24 hour wear time - I got about 7 hours before the shades began to fade

Overall Thoughts:

The Physicians Formula's Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Shadow and Liner 2016 Collection comes in six different palette shades. There are six different shadows in the palette that are meant to be divided into two trios. Each trio will give you a different eye look. There is a description on the back of the cardboard box it comes in that explains to you how the shadows should be applied to the eye which in theory sounds great. I just would not recommend using these shadows all over the eye lid in conjunction with one another. I also do not recommend using these dry or with the angled sponge tip applicator that comes with the palette because this will give you a chunky/creasy look. Don't get me wrong I do love the pops of color because they are extremely pigmented when used wet with MAC fix plus and packed on to the lid. I do wish there was a matte shade included in each of the trios for a more complete look because then I would recommend this to be part of your travel makeup bag. The Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Shadow and Liner in 6633 Bronze Nude has a great everyday range of neutrals with a random pop of aqua which I personally don't mind since it is my favorite color. You can take your look from day time to night time with a versatile of different looks. The texture of the eyeshadow is not a power but would not consider it a gel or liquid. The shadows do apply smoothly and are lightweight. There was no scent detected. 

Repurchase: Yes only if on sale but only cause I feel like I have a lot of shadows in my collection that are very similar
