I have three more reviews left and then I am moving on to newer items. I have just picked up to much and trying to figure out which ones to review has been a headache. So I will post this to let everyone else choose something they would like to see a review on.

Physicians Formula Correcting Primer & Smoky Eyes Shimmer Strips
I know a lot of people enjoy Physicians Formula products but out of the ones I have tried " a fair few" I found I really do not care for them. With the redness in my face I wanted to give the Correcting Green Primer a try and see if it would help. It wasn't what I expected to say the least.
I pictured it being silky similar to other primers, it was more like paste. I took the first one back, I didn't notice when I opened it and it slipped out of the package that the bottom of the plastic holder had been cut open. The contents in the tube had hardened and only came out in bits of chalky powder.
When I got back with the second one as I was trying to twist it out the top of it popped up and I had to push down and reapply the brush to the base. I had to do this twice before anything came out of it, and for the next three times as well. I had enough from each time to do about 1/4 of my face.
After applying, it turned white and as it dried felt like I had rubbed chalk down my face. It was very drying, and cracking I had to wash it off there was no way I could put foundation on over it. I will try another primer but think I am done with PF brand.
I also picked up one of the Smoky Eye Shimmer Strip trio pencils. I have been wanting a fat eye pencil and a friend told me these were great. Her idea of great and my thoughts on these pencils are ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ about this far apart.
Usually we agree and like the same things, this time not so much. I really was saddened by this, I was hoping for a creamy well pigmented eye pencil and what I got was a sparkly, sheer black mess that made my dark circles scream "HERE I AM!". Again I know some products work for some and not others this product as with many of their others does not work for me.
That picture of the primer is from the second and only other container they had in stock. The spillage on the brush was hard as a rock.
Younique's Pigment and Concealer powders
I started playing more with the Younique presenter's kit. I love a couple of the colors in their pigments, my favorite being Irresistible and Sexy being the second favorite. They go on smooth and clean up easily, pretty much fool proof. Which is exactly what I personally need.
The concealers were nice as well, though I tend to shy away from powder concealer's. The dry skin issues sometimes make me look like I have scales. I used it with my NYX Pore Filler primer it went on with a nice light coverage, BUT the powder look was still there for me.
I think the concealer is nice but it really isn't my thing. I prefer liquid or cream foundation and more of a full coverage.
I moisturize before putting on any primer or foundation with Josie Maran's Light Argan Oil. So my face isn't completely dried out when applying. Maybe I am not using it the right way, I don't know. I try different products to see which ones need a 300 page manual or you can teach a monkey to use. In these trials I am the monkey.
Eye pigments are in the colors Irresistible and Sexy. Mascara is Younique 3D Fiber Lash, concealers I used a combination of Frisky and Fabulous, primer was NYX Pore Filler.
