Boots 17 Trio Eye Shadows

*Introduction* I bought this eye shadow following an attempt to spend less money on make-up. I worked out how much I was spending on make up and it horrified me if I'm honest. *The Claim* They come in a range of colours for attention grabbing eyes. *About the Product* 17 Trio Eye Shadows are a perfect way to create your look from one pot. The colours can be used together or work separately. *Application* These eye shadows don't come with a make up applicator so the first thing that you will need to do is find one that you already have or buy one to apply the shadows with. The set ...  Read the complete review

I have the purple version of this, and the colours are gorgeous! They blend nicely together, and there are lots of different combinations: all three colours, two of the colours, or just one. That makes it useful to take on holiday, as you can use the lighter shades for a daytime look, then add some of the darker shade to go out at night. The powder is smooth and silky - it is easy to pick up with a brush, and goes on nicely. Once on, it lasts for quite a long time, and when it does start to wear off, it fades quite evenly, without leaving that awful creased look that some other eyeshadows do. I've had this for a while, and the powder is still fresh: it hasn't ...  Read the complete review

I've heard a lot of make-up advice about blending different shades of eye shadow but as I usually stick rigidly to just the one eye shadow shade, this eye shadow trio was a bit of a departure for me. The Colours The trio that I bought was very similar to the product image that you can see above, except that the lighter shade was more yellowy than beige. Although there are obviously three shades in each trio, I mostly use two of the shades in my particular trio, and these are the two shades of brown. Although they look like a block colour when you look at the trio, there is a slight shimmer when they are applied to your eyelids. This is often ...  Read the complete review

I got a couple of these trios while I was browsing when bored on my lunch break one day. I should really start reading a book or something instead!! They are part of the 17 range, which is exclusive to Boots, and cost £4.99 each. I did find it a little pricey for a store brand, considering that you pay just 50p more for a Rimmel trio, but hadn't tried 17 so thought I would give it a go. You do get a lot of shadow though, while Boots don't state how many grams, which is odd as they do for other brands' eyeshadows, but the tub is roughly two and a half inches across, and round. I would say you get at least one and a half times the amount of shadow as you would ...  Read the complete review

I have recently got into using make up again after a long break and have been looking for good quality products that wont break the bank. My local chemist has recently been taken over by Boots and is ideal for me as it's pretty much next door to my home. I had a look at the weekend determined to find some good quality eye shadow to give my face a boost and bring out the green colour of my eyes. Boots produce and sell two of their own brands of cosmetics/skin care, No. 7 and 17, I prefer 17 products as they tend to be a bit cheaper. Boots 17 Trio Eyeshadow caught my eye during my shopping trip, they cost £4,99 per pot which is a little ...  Read the complete review
