    I previously posted some pictures of these eyeshadows on Boxing Day (here), but I never did a full review and swatches so here we go!

    • Product: Both eyeshadows are smooth and easy to blend.
      • Sweet And Punchy: is a bright yellow-green with a veluxe pearl finish.
      • Humid: is amedium forest green, with a frost finish.

    I bought this eyeshadow trio a few months ago on sale for $4.00, original price is $7.00.
    • Packaging: These trios come in a plastic trapezoid shaped pans, with three different colours. The trios come with a sponge brush applicator.
    • Product: All three eyeshadow shades are shimmery, and generally go on smoothly, they could be more smooth though.
      • Colour 1: is a light silver colour, very shimmery.
      • Colour 2: is a medium purple colour, slightly shimmery.
      • Colour 3: is a dark grey colour, slightly shimmery.
    • Final Thoughts: I really think these trios are a good choice if you are on a budget. There are 9 different colour combinations, so theres a decent amount of variety.
