I always think Christmas is the best time of the year to get the cosmetics. I have been good this year, I was very much in control with what I purchased. HOWEVER, when I saw this trio set, I just couldn't resist. There has been hype about the By Terry Eyeshadow Stick, but for £28, I think it is all a bit pricy for an eyeshadow sticks. When I saw this trio, I thought, this is exactly what I need. Despited my vanity is already eyeshadow overloaded, I had to get it.
The three shade is Smokey Topaz, Expresso Bean and Pink Sparkle. All three of them contain glitters, very subtle and very pretty. Not at all like shouting out loud for attention type. The Smokey Topaz is a taupe eyeshadow with a tad of purple undertone in it. Pink Sparkle is the same with the name, a very nice light pink, but when you blend out, it looks very similar with Sin in the Naked 1 pallet. Expresso Bean is a rich black eyeshadow which I use as an eye liner. I have not yet tried to blend this one out on the whole lid. I might try one day and I will let you know how it looks!
They are all very creamy and easy blendable. But you do need to work quite fast when you apply them, otherwise, once they set, it is very hard to remove and you will need to really rub your eyelid to blend it, that, we don't want it at all.
The photo doesn't really show how sparkly they are on the lid. Those eyeshadow do brighten up my eyes and make me looks more awake but not looking like wearing heavy makeup. I have been wearing this eyeshadow trio everyday since I got them. Day to night, from work to party. I think it is a very good gift set to get to yourself.
What else you got for this Christmas? :)
