I am normally a a Maybelline fan. Their products are generally excellent, with great value for money. So, when I saw the expert eyes trio in my local discount make-up place, at an astounding £2.50, I was keen. The Expert Eyes Trio is presented in a classy looking dark box - with three substantial eye shadows inside. I bought in Sweet Mystique (baby pink, a neutral creamy base colour, and powder blue). The colours are very pretty. There were four different trios available (and I think this is the full range - or at least that is what the shop assistant told me). They were all pretty colours.
However, though this looks good in the box, it was pretty rubbish as a product. I am quite pale, so the neutral colour was darker than my skin tone and should have shown up. I had to reapply loads just to see anything, and the same went for the pink colour. Only the blue showed up easily. It didn't even go on smoothly or evenly. The applicator which came with the product (there was only one) also wasn't much good - one end fell off on the first usage. Having applied the eye shadow, I went out to my party. By the end of the evening, you couldn't even tell that I had eye make-up on, which is very disappointing. Not sure about water-proof qualities of this, as it does not last even when dry!
Great disappointment this. I'm glad I didn't spend more on it. Looks good on the shelf, but is not effective.
