I finally got my hands on some NYX products about 6 months ago when my Ulta opened. I havne't be disappointed with any of their eyeshadows yet! This trio is my favorite trio. I use it pretty much everyday. The colors are very frosty, however, I wear glasses so I feel like that kinda hides some of the shimmer and they look great. I actually use this trio more then I use my UD naked pallette and this is much easier to travel with.

After earing a lot about NYX, I finally decided to by some of their eye shadows. The colors of this trio are beautiful but have too much shine for daytime wear wich was the purpose of this purshase. I guess I could pull off the deep bronze but not the other 2.

My favorite neutral shadows are from the Revlon Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow Quads in Coffee Bean and in Copper Spice. The circle of my favorite "go-to" eyeshadows became larger when I discovered the NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Aloha/Mink Brown/Deep Bronze. This NYX Trio was my first NYX product purchase and started my NYX collection thereafter. These neutral shades have a satiny finish when applied and last well throughout the day if a eyeshadow primer is applied first. I use the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I usually use all three shades: Mink Brown on my eyelid, Deep Bronze on my outer corner, and Aloha on my brow bone for highlight. This creates a really simple and clean look. If I want a more dramatic look for evening, I apply more Deep Bronze for a smoky eye look. On the weekends, I will wear a sheer application of these shades and apply a thin line of eyeliner with mascara to highlight my eyelashes. This palette started me on my love connection with NYX eyeshadows! It is one of my favorites and it is so affordable too! Love-love-love!

I had originally bought this trio for use at a friends wedding. She wanted the bridesmaids to have a "me but better" look, and that is exactly what this gave me. The pigmentation is there, its just that these shadows are so neutral and natural looking. This is the perfect everyday palette for me. I want to buy a few more to keep as backups.

After having my favourite light beige eyeshadow by Lise Watier break, I looked to NYX for a new one. This was my first purchase from NYX, and I thought the colours looked very pretty and safe for me, since I'm in highschool and everything. The packaging was a bit hard to open, but it wasn't that big of a problem. They are all frosty colours which I don't mind, but I do generally like the brown colour to be more matte. The pigment was okay but I found that Aloha and Mink Brown looked kind of the same. I am pleased with the product but it's not phenomenal.

This is one of my favorite shadows! I'm on my second one of these but have a third stowed away for when I run out! I attempted to purchase another color of the trios and the pigmentation was awful. I think it was just a bad batch though because all of NYX's other shadows are perfectly fine (I say just swap it out with another). Over all I love the color pay off and can't recommend this enough to people.

PS: If you get horrible color pay off from this, return it. It's a bad batch.

I love this trio! I have a few now, and this is my fave. I love that the NYX trios have a decent mirror, are made from thick plastic, and have a little window on the front for when you're digging through your stuff in a hurry. Only thing I dislike is that stupid slogan "Tripe shadows for Sexy Babe's Eyes Only!" laaaame!! hahah...

I have not had this one long and have already made a dent in it. I am 125/118 in MUFE HD and approx NC 25 in Mac. These shadows are buttery smooth, super blendable but not too intensely pigmented. Aloha is a soft beigey pink that really brightens up my eyes, mink brown is a warmer version of Taupe, quite golden, and deep bronze is a lovely soft coppery color, but definitely not "deep" unless you pack it on. I think this is a deifnite winner for fair skinned ladies who like a natural look. I use this most days for work and it lasts all day on me, with no creasing.

I also think it works very well with TS 03 Nude/Taupe/Dark brown, which I think is like a cool version of this palette, and the brown in that is much more pigmented. I actually use those two trios more than my UD Naked palette.

I thought this trio was a good value for the (cheap) price. The shades are very "safe" neytrals and work fine on my PPP skintone. They have a decent amount of pigment - especially for a bargain brand.

Very easy to wear, blendable shades. Aloha was more like a pinky-beige on me.

What the heck, these aren't pigmented at all! I normally love NYX products but this one sucks. I can't get any color on what-so-ever! I suppose this would be great for someone who wants the really natural eye but I am sick of that look so I guess that is why I don't like it. Would not repurchase.

I agree with others that this is a trio for people with cool toned skin. The eyeshadows are very smooth and pigmented. I've been looking for a brown shade, not too dark, that works with my tan asian skin and the deep bronze shade looks wonderful on me!

I spotted this in ULTA when I went in to use my 20% off coupon that was good on everything in the store. I picked it up because I have many NYX palettes and this just looked like a good neutral trio for everyday. I find NYX shadows to be nicely pigmented and very easy to work with. I prefer the Aloha shade mixed with the Bronze in the crease. These three shades are well coordinated and I don't understand why no one seems to like the Mink Brown shade. I purchased them for approx. $9 in ULTA. The only complaint I have is the packaging is a little flimsy, other than that I think NYX is a great value for the money. These shadows all have a frost/shimmer to them. Very soft, you will get "fallout" if you don't tap excess of your brush. One lippie off for packaging and fallout. Othere than that, pleased with the purchase.

I cannot figure out this trio. Aloha is a very light, silver taupe. Mink Brown looks exactly like Aloha ~ maybe a shade darker. Deep Bronze is copper, which doesn't fit at all with the other shades. These are all cool toned shades especially if you blend Mink Brown and Deep Bronze together. I am not crazy about this trio, and I won't buy this again...

This trio has on the left (aloha) an off white with a very slight pink under tone, in the middle (mink brown) a light silvery taupe w/ slight pink undertones and a dark bronze to the right (deep bronze). Both mink brown and deep bronze are very pigmented but aloha isn't. Out of thee three colors, the pretties would be mink brown. All three colors are very blend-able and when all worn together I get a really nice day time look that is pretty and understated. I mainly like that aloha and mink brown have a very slight pink undertone to it. The colors stay on well and don't crease when used w/ a good base. I applied this using the sponge tipped applicator provided, which I normally whenever something comes w/ them but I find that the ones that come w/ the trios actually work pretty well and I don't have to dirty my brushes. Btw, all three colors have a bit of a pearlized finished to them/not matte.

This was my first NYX product and it's a great product. The eyeshadows are well pigmented and blend well.

I did return it though because the shadows had cool/pink undertones which you could tell from looking at it. The only reason why I thought that might not be the case when applied (and we all know that sometimes shadows look quite different in the package vs. when applied) is the name "deep bronze" so I thought it might be a warm brown. So for that reason I was thrown off so I took a lippie off because of the misleading name in the color. Otherwise, a great product for girls with cooler skin tones.
