Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Gel CreamLiner - Hazel Eyes Trio Review & Swatch ❤

Hii dears~ ❤

I love you girls! >< Thank you so much for sticking with me even though I haven't done a review in ages!! & Thank you all for letting me reach 100+  followers~ This is such a milestone for me~ >< I want to do something to thank all of you for supporting me~ I will be holding a giveaway soon!! yes? yes? ^^ But shhhhh! I will be waiting until school ends in one week til I can collect all the things I want to giveaway~ & I will probably take forever so please be patient because I am a sloth!!~ 

I will be reviewing the Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Gel CreamLiner for Hazel Eyes (they ran out of "For Brown Eyes" ><) that I purchased at Ulta recently!~ I did this review first because Rinny said she was interested in this product so I wanted to show her what it was like!~ ^^ I will do the other reviews from my Ulta mini-haul soon! (:

  • The 3 colors that is comes with are "Taupe" for a "Natural" look, "Pink" for a "Playful" look and "Black+Pink Shimmer" for a "Dramatic" look~ & it comes with a mini eyeliner brush~
  • In reality, the "Pink" is actually purple! & The "Black+Pink Shimmer" is a glitter bomb of pink glitter in black eyeliner! O:
  • The packaging is pretty normal packaging, it tells you that the product is "24 hour wear" but I will tell you if it really is 24 hour wear! (:

Back of the packaging~ 

Ingredients in case someone is allergic to anything~ ^^

The black is extremely creamy and glides on your eyelid~
BUT the thing I don't like... is the massive amount of glitter!! I was not expecting this at all! ):
I wanted a solid black eyeliner, but when the packaging said "pink shimmer" I thought..okay, maybe a tiny amount would be okay, but this is too much~

A lot of glitter, and it irritates my eyes sometimes when they sometimes fall in my eye D:

The "pink" but actually purple color is a purple with tiny glitter particles~ 

The texture is smooth and creamy, but the purple is not very opaque~ 
It needs about 3-4 coats to be opaque~
This color is not my favorite :/


The "taupe" color is actually my favorite! (: There is no glitter, only a metallic look to it when you put it on!~ The color is really pretty~


You can't really tell the black has shimmer at this angle~ haha
The taupe still looks gorgeous!!

I like how these are stackable and separate-able (:
You can unstack it and just bring the color you like~ 

The brush that comes with the eyeliner is not bad at all!~ Although it is not exactly as thin as my normal gel eyeliner brush, it works pretty well for an on-the-go brush~ It even comes with a protector cover (:

Picture of my eyeball with the taupe eyeliner~ ^^

My life-saver when applying eyeliner!~ If I feel lazy, I just swipe eyeliner all over the place on my eyelid and then take a pointed cotton swab to make it neat (:

I applied the eyeliner and let it dry for about 20 minutes and then rubbed it vigorously! As if someone were rubbing their eye~
This is the end result~ Not bad huh?~ 


Then a applied water on it and rubbed vigorously again and this is the result!~ As if someone were crying and rubbing their eyes~
Still not bad! But I don't suggest you rub your eye if you cry and have eyeliner or mascara on because you will end up with raccoon eyes~ ><

In the end, I am still happy with my purchase because it only cost like 3 dollars after all the coupons I used at Ulta, but if it were the original price, $10.95, I would not think it was worth it ):

Pros:
Long Lasting (Lasts all day for me!)
3 different colors
Convenient packaging

Cons:
Glitter
Thin consistency of the purple/"pink"
Expensive for a drugstore brand
Plastic packaging may dry out gel faster

As always, I hope I helped someone out pick out the right product for them! (:
I hope you all have a great week and weekend!

Sincerely, mimi ❤

Ohhhh soso fast. (; Great review!
Wow, the "pink" is really ... not pink at all! It's a nice pretty purple though for a "unique" look, haha.
I like the taupe on you too. :D It gives a softer, less harsh look than a straight up black liner. It also reminds me of brown, kekeke.
Man, you're so amazing with coupons!

Nice eyeball btw <3

I've always liked Physicians Formula. Too bad about the glitters in the liner though. I don't like glitter either! they usually end up on my face and it's impossible to get off unless i use tape lol. great blog btw =]

Great review... a few month ago when I was shopping and looking at PF products I was debating on this one or the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio for Brown Eyes. I did end up getting the the Eyeliner Trio just because there was a $6 mail-in-rebate! lol

The taupe color in this trio is very pretty!!! My favorite out of the 3.

I didn't even know they had this product!!! I'll have to stopped by and check it out. Thank you for the great review as well!

Great post, doll! I just finished reviewing this product for hazel eyes too! It's weird, though, because mine is slightly different than yours! It has a different color and different consistency than what yours seem to be. I don't know if they have a different line for hazel eyes, but this was very helpful nonetheless! Thanks for sharing :D

aaah thank you for doing this review :D! I always see them in ulta and the grocery store I go too but I just couldn't get myself to buy them all (at least without coupons). x_x

as for the elf gel liner, i might do a short review. it's my very first gel liner (haha i know i'm a noob), so i can't really compare it with other gel liners yet o_o

Thanks for the great review Mimi! I'm not so sure I'm liking the "pink" color much either - it looks a little too light for me, but black and taupe are really pretty! I do like that this product comes with 3 different colors though :D

Wow from almost 11 dollars to only $3 that's great
Not sure that I'd ever purchase just because unless I can score a great deal like you with coupons and such, it's kind of expensive for a drug store brand

great review dear! :)

congrats on 100+++ followers! i'm sure you will get more in the days to come. =)

the taupe one looks really pretty and it's sad that the other liners are full of glitters. maybe you can use those for night outs! =)

i love that packaging tho.. it's so neat how it's stackable. keeps things organized and i love the shiny purple caps hahah.

Sooo pretty! I actually really like the purple one. Great review, girl!

Ooh, I saw this one day but wasn't so sure cuz I haven't heard enough reviews. & what's with the "Pink"? lol, how'd they name it that color O_o Thanks for the swatches though! The black & taupe (esp) look interesting :o)
1 reply · active less than 1 minute ago
The taupe one looks great on you! It reminds me of Bobbi Brown graphite shimmer gel eyeliner, which is a beautiful dark grey... which used to be my favorite long long time ago and had already dried out lol! it has shimmers instead of glitters so it never bothered my eyes. Ah, your post made me wanna go back and buy another one! but I'm on shopping ban. lol.

Hope you're doing well miss Mimi~ haven't seen your update in a while. And reply to your comments (hahaha omg sorry it took me so long to get back to you!) haha I love going to night markets, but I go there mostly for the food ^_^ i don't buy clothes there cuz they usually don't have fitting rooms to try them on and I'm no coat hanger. lol. and yeah I know shoes get super expensive at department stores... luckily most of the ones I got had some sort of discount XD and my folds have been pretty stable... but if I do get uneven folds I'll try to make sure I do a tutorial ^_^

Congrats on your 100 followers! ^^ I'm a new follower and reader by the way :) I started blogging not too long ago too but I haven't reach as many followers as you have! Your posts are awesome, I read nearly all of them today, hehe. Can't wait for your giveaway. I haven't heard of Physican's Formular Shimmer Strips Gel CreamLiner before, I wonder if they do sell this in Malaysia :O I'm always very interested when it comes to eyeliner, I normally apply eye liners the most! :P The taupe is my favorite too, I prefer without shimmers.

Looking forward to your coming posts :)
