Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Cream Gel Eyeliner

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liner in Glam Green Eyes is currently on clearance for 2.75 dollars at CVS, I reckon I might as well be timely (for once) on the review so that it can help you deciding if this is worth get (or not!).  Anyway, the product contains three little pot of gel cream liners, each containing 2g of products, housed in three jars stacking together. PF called it a stack-able design but that's if and only if you follow the exact shade order it came with, as you can neither arrange the shades or connect it with another trio.

The Glam Green Eyes trio contains a shimmery (it's actually small glitters once applied) dusty lilac, shimmery pewter with moss green undertone and a black with (slightly smaller) silver micro glitters. Gel-Cream seems to be a decent description for the texture, as it's soft, smooth without being too thick or sticky. The trio also comes with a clear-handled liner brush with tapered, duck-beak tip but it's frayed and only seems to be suitable for applying very thick stroke (or a fine but messy one).

The dusty lilac and shimmering pewter are the main reason I got the palette, as they look like something form a high-end eyeshadow collection (that I am too cheap to buy) . Unfortunately the two lighter shades both go on very thin with one swipe, leaving a pathetic film of color and lots of glitter hanging there ...After 3 layers, I get a true-to-color stroke that cakes almost immediately on lids, with an added bonus of cracks and glitter falling into my eyes. The black was a lot more user-friendly, being smooth and intense (the glitters don't show that well so it's not too different from a plain black) but I needed to make sure I am not over-spread (or the caking happens again) .

Overall: The colors are beautiful but the texture just reminds me of the very reason I stopped bothering with eyeliner. Consider how often Physicians Formula is going on sale in CVS (5 extra bucks with 10-dollar purchase, this and next week!) , the price is not that good either...
