    I thought this product was impeccable! (great marketing Maybelline) The colors work great for any skin-tone and the colors can stand on their own. Some days I just use the lid and brow colors, and to add a dramatic night time look I incorporate the crease.

    As mentioned, there is a bit of shimmer in the lid color, but I didn't think it was too dramatic for day wear. It all depends on your outfit and attitude. This trio actually does the opposite of what you think it would do - it actually brightens your eyes rather than dulling them out. Of course, the more dark grey you use, the more moody the look becomes.

    Try it for yourself.

    I totally agree with the other girls about the staying power of this product. It doesn’t last the whole day (although if you just wear it just for night, it did last through a whole night out.) I also agree with Becky about the sparkly factor. The lid colour which is a kind of grayish silvery colour is too sparkly for my liking. I do enjoy this product though, because for eye shadow dummies such as me, it makes it easy by labeling each colour with where it should be used on your eye, and also by putting a step by step guide on the label at the back. I think overall this is a good product for experimenting, but I don’t think I would buy it again because of its staying power and sparkly-ness.

    I received this product in my goodie bag during Shopoholic movie night. Although I am a huge fan of many Maybelline products, including several that were introduced to me via the goodie bag, I'm so sorry to say that this isn't one of them.

    Just to make sure that I'm not being too harsh, I actually used this palette on my eye right now... and I'm really sorry to say that this doesn't live up to Maybelline's usual high standards.

    This eyeshadow at best gives extremely glittery tints of colour. Its so glittery and light reflecting, that all you see is silver / white glitter on your lids. Even the brown (crease) looks silverish.

    I do love the idea of having a trio smokey eye palette with each section labeled (the silver actually says "Lid", brown says "Crease" and beige says "Brow bone"). Hopefully Maybelline will continue this idea but use less glitter and more pigments in their eyeshadows.

    However, I can't say that I'll not use this palette at all. I'll put any one of the colour all over the lid for a hint of colour and a glam sparkly look. Or i'll blend some into my eyes to give a glamorous glitter when using my other eyeshadows.

    These 3 eyeshadow colours work very well together if blended properly. If not... it may give you those dreaded black eyes or look like you put it on with your toes! Don't forget to blend ladies!

    I agree with some of the reviewers about the staying power. I cannot wear this without a eye shadow primer at all, otherwise it becomes a greasy mess on my eyelids by mid-afternoon.

    The pigmentation of these shadows was ok, good for creating a smokey eye. I don't think I would purchase this product only because I really do prefer eye shadows with better staying power.

    This was one of my Shopoholic Movie night freebies! I've used it a few times and really like the look I can get with the shades... anything from office casual to sexy, smokey, going-out eyes! At first, I was apprehensive that the grey tones would just make it look like I had two black eyes! But with a little practice the shades work well together and with my skin tone! I found that they didn't last all day, but most of the day it was ok.

    Maybelline always has good eyeshadows for the price! I have a couple of their eye shadow trios and like using them all! I would recommend this product to my friends! Great product at a good price!

    It's great. I would've chosen a darker shade as I like the darkest colour to be a fair bit darker than the other ones. I really like that they tell you what colour goes where. It says lid and crease. Very smart packaging. I would like it to last a little longer, it wore off by the late afternoon. Overall, it's a good shadow for a good price

    I love using this to create a soft smokey effect.

    Pros: the colors are very true, beautiful shimmer, long lasting
    Cons: I've noticed, particularly with the impeccable grays that every time i re-buy it, the shade of the silver and the dark gray change slightly not a whole lot, but just enough to bug me a little.
