Physicians Formula Baked Collection in Baked Sands

This is my second post for this week. Amazing!... lol~ :P I actually bought this eyeshadow palette, Physicians Formula Baked Collection in Baked Sands, end of last year (2008). I'm finally going to review it... hehe~
Product Review: Physicians Formula Baked Collection in Baked Sands

Where can you purchase this: drugstores (I got mine at Walgreens)
Price: $7-8 (I paid around $4 with coupon)

Made in Italy

My thoughts: I'm not too thrilled about the packaging for several reasons. It's sad to say this but what draws me to products is their packaging. The packaging definitely did not draw me in... lol~
It's very simple design and everything is circular... lol~ The eyeshadows are circular, as well as, dome shaped. So is the package including the lid. Another reason why I don't like the packaging is that it's not the most travel friendly. I think the dome shape hinders the palette to be carried around. Luckily, I don't travel much. :P

The one thing I really like about this palette is how pigmented the colors are, as well as, how the colors are blended together. It's gorgeous!!! :)
It looks great on the skin, but I think it looks better on the eyes... hehe~ ;)

Pros:
* Pigmented.
* Gorgeous colors.
* Great mix of colors together.
* Blends well.

Cons:
* Packaging.
* Not travel friendly.

Would I buy this again? Yes, I'm waiting for a sale on the gray ones... hehe~
