Advantages: Cheap, nice colours.

Disadvantages: Fades very, very quickly.

I recently found one of these eyeshadow trio products in the bottom of one of my make-up bags for products I don't really use. I have no idea where it came from and have no recollection of buying it (I'm assuming I got it Christmas or something at some point and decided I would never use it) so I can't say how much I paid for it or where I got it from.
Although it appears these are around the £2 mark so not too bad.

I decided to try it out last night. It is the 'eclipse' shade. A light grey, dark grey and black. I thought it would do the trick in creating the smoky eyes effect which I love. To be honest, it was alright. I didn't really have any expectations when applying it but I relatively pleased.

The shades were nice and worked well together, I did really liked the colour scheme. The eyeshadow was easy to get onto the eyeshadow brush and was lovely to work with. A gentle rub against my eyelid was all that was needed to apply it to my skin.
I took a couple of layers to get it dark enough though, they colours were very pale with just layer. The light grey was white, the dark grey was light grey and the black was dark grey. But I often give my eyeshadow a couple of layers anyway so I wasn't too put off with that and it did come up nicely in the end.

When I had completed my look I was rather pleased, it did look nice and I envisioned myself wearing this eyeshadow all the time, going out and looking for colour schemes. However, about an hour later when I caught my reflection in a mirror and realised it had all faded massively I was disappointed. I'm not one for touching up my make-up, I put it on once and that's it for the day so this did bother me quite a lot.

I can see why this was hidden away and forgotten about! There are definitely better eyeshadows on the market for a similar price and I would recommend going for those instead.

Summary: The product gives nice results they just don't last for very long!
