This was a fun product to play around with. The colours are stunning, and even though the blue theme seems pretty gimmicky, it looks great on blue eyes. I was VERY disappointed with the staying power, though. It smears after just a short couple hours.

I got this for 2 or 3 bucks on sale at Target. I'm not a fan of the fact that companies think that just because you have blue eyes means that you want/need blue all up on you. But I wanted to expand my colors beyond black. It comes with a blue, brown, and black in a nice stacking container. And the blue is the only one I've tried on my eyes, and it does go on really well. As do the others, and they're all pigmented. But I won't repurchase this at the regular price.
Blue- I didn't think I'd like it. But once I put it on, I liked it. Is it my favorite? Not really. Now for the negative. After wearing it for a few hours, I could rub my eyes and it would come off in like.....chunks (or something). Not a good thing.
Brown- I only tested this on my hand, so I can say how it is on the eyes. But in the container is looks like a light brown almost gold-ish. But when I tested it, it was a darker brown.
Black- I hadn't noticed this until I looked at reviews on here, but it has blue glitter in it. So now that I noticed it, the black looks more of a blue-black in the container. Once again, I don't think I've worn this on my eyes.

I love this gel liner i find it gives an amazing coverage and the colors are true to the shade. I will be buying this product again that is for sure. When i bought it i found it on sale at shoppers for around 10 bucks for the 3 which to me is a steal! it goes on smooth and lasts all day. Very Pleased

I don't think I'll ever look to another brand for a cream/gel liner for these colours. I picked this up on sale at Target while I was in the states purely because they were on sale but I was very pleasantly surprised. The black is sharp and doesn't have that grey-ish tinge that many gel/cream liners have. The brown is incredibly wearable, being soft but not mousy. I am very fair so I find the brown works really well when I want some definition but I don't want a stark look. I don't often use the blue. The brush that comes with it actually does a fairly good job if you keep it clean, I usually warm up the product a bit by swirling the brush around, this gives it a very creamy texture. I really love this product.

I really like this product.
Cosmetics in Australia are exorbitantly prices, I am sure all you makeup addicts in the States would be ASTOUNDED!
As a result, I think pretty carefully about what I buy to try and squeeze as much value out of a purchase as possible.
This is why these trio's appealed to me... whilst I really only wanted a blue eyeliner, I've never yet managed to finish a pot of gel eyeliner before it dries up and becomes unusable (regardless of the brand I buy) so the smaller pots were a good solution for me.
For a little bit (but not much) less money than a fluidline for example, I get three colours and a brush, the brush by the way, I was pleasantly surprised with. The handle and ferrule are dodgy quality but the brush itself does a nice job.
As for the products themselves - I think they are lovely.
The blue is the worst of the bunch, being not overly pigmented but its still workable.
My favourite though is the brown.
Its such a subtle, nuanced, soft colour and reminds me very much of Bobbi Brown colours in that way. It is pigmented, smooth to apply, dries down quickly and stays put.
People moan about the packaging on here quite a bit I've noticed - mostly in respect to not being able to separate the pots from their stack form.
You can separate them.
Quite easily in fact...I found it so straightforward and obvious that I actualy can't understand where other reviewers are coming from with this aspect?
Perhaps someone can shed some light...
Overall for the price (especially for you lucky readers in th US) its a nice little product which I would reperchase, if only for the gorgeous brown.

I was really impressed with these. The packaging is cute and space saving, and the brush does a good job. The black color does have blue glitter in it, but i have never noticed it on my yes. The staying power is really good, it lasts all day. Although i have noticed on some days that it starts to fade a bit, but that's after 8 hours or so at least. I like the pigment of all the colors and the consistency.

I have these for blue eyes and for green eyes. I do love them! The added bit of sparkle is awesome but not OTT. On me, they last all day until I remove it and never budge. I have green eyes but the blue brings out the green as does the purple. I love the taupe shade included in the blue eyes one too, and I usually do not wear the browns as it can drab down my green eyes but this color does not. This goes on very smooth & easy even using the included brush. I did purchase one for green eyes that was dried out too much due to a lid being not tightly in place. I had no problem exchanging it for another. I love these liners and love the packaging too. I find them easy to keep track of. I really hope P.F. never discontinues these, and the other Happy Booster line either. Great stuff!

This eyeliner is awesome! I was contemplating buying either a blue, brown, or black gel eyeliner from M.A.C. but found this little bundle with all three colours that I wanted to purchase!
I have used the liners nearly every single day for the past couple months and still have plenty of product left, so you definitely get some bang for your buck. As well, the three colours look awesome on blue eyes. The black is very dramatic and makes my eyes stand out, the blue is very fun and makes the whites of my eyes look brighter, and the brown contrasts the colour of my eyes very nicely and makes them pop! I like that the three colours are attached to one another so I don't have to fish around for the different colours in my makeup drawer.
On the other hand, I do have a few minor complaints about this product. I wish this would come in waterproof! If it were, I would definitely give it a 5/5. Because of this, it does flake a bit by the end of the day, which can be a bit troublesome if you wear contacts. As well, the brush that it comes with is quite fat, which makes it tough to draw a nice smooth line above my lash line. Also, the bristles tend to stick out a bit and spread on more product than I would like. Luckily I had another liquid eyeliner brush that I could pair with this product.
Hint: If you don't like the brush, rather than going out a buying a new one, use the little brush that comes in a tube of liquid eyeliner after you've finished the product.
I hope this helps!

I bought this product over a year ago and love, love, love it!
CONS:
*packaging (at least for me) one of my pots do not screw on correctly so the cap is not evenly aligned with the pot. (no biggie, didn't affect product quality).
*price. I think I paid $11 @ wal-mart but it was worth every penny.
*Application was difficult with the brush it came with so I threw it out! I use the E.L.F. angled eyeliner brush.
*One of the pots started to dry out a long time ago so I just added a couple drops of water and everything has been fine ever since!
PROS:
*Long-lasting, no-budge formula- Works great on upper and lower lash lines.
*Highly pigmented- No doubling back required!
*A little goes a long way! One you've picked up a speck of product, you can apply it to about a third of the lash line (for fine lines)
*I do believe that the shades selected do enhance my blue eye color. (minus the black)
BOTTOM LINE:
Go Try It!

I was looking for a navy liner and ended up getting the blue eyes trio. I'm absolutely thrilled with all of the colors. I was afraid the brown would be too light, but it applies darker than it looks in it's pot. The blue is a true blue shade that brings out the blue in my eyes when I use it. I love the black even if I could do without the glittery flakes in it -- but they don't really show up on my eyes, so it's not a huge issue.
These colors don't budge, even in the insane So. Florida humidity. I even like the little brush that came with it. I'm able to apply the liner perfectly whether I want a thick line or a thin one.

Awful. Just awful. It's rare that I disagree so strongly with reviews, but honestly, this liner not only smudges like crazy, it's stupid expensive for a drugstore product that performs as poorly as it does (even if you find it on sale.) I'd recommend purchasing wet and wild cream liners or Sonia kashuk if you're looking for a blue or brown--neither of these smudge as easily (wnw in particular,) and the packaging isn't so freaking annoying, either. Seriously hate this product.

I really like this gel liners all colors on these.
This has a medium brown a navy blue and a black with blue flecks on it. All 3 colors are very nice, creamy, super pigmented, easy to apply. It also lasts most of the day and it does not smudge. One more thing that I love about this product is that I've had this for about a year and it still hasn't dried out like other eyeliner's I've purchased before. I'm looking into buying more of these soon.

Like all of the Physician's Formula gel liners I've tried, these are nice and creamy, very easy to apply (although I do use my own skinny round brush), and last all day on my lashline (I don't line my inner rims). They're usually $9-10 which is a great price for 3 colors!
---
Regarding the colors... the navy blue is a lovely true navy / dark blue, not too purple, not too green/teal like some "navy" eyeliners. The brown goes on cooler than I expected, like a dark taupey-brown. However, the black with blue sparkles just looks like plain black once it's applied, which is true for all of the black with colored sparkles liners that PF always includes in these sets. I don't need a black eyeliner with every set, I wish they would quit doing this!
---
Overall, these are nice eyeliners, although I don't find them to be the most flattering colors for my blue eyes. (Warmer browns, burgundies, and plummy purple liners make my eyes pop much more.) But that's true of all of the eye color kits from any brand in the drugstores -- I don't know why they keep including colors that match your eye color, when contrasting colors usually work much better! But since I like a nice variety of colors and don't just wear contrasting shades, I still like this set. So I would still recommend it, just don't think you have to buy the set designed for your eye color!
---
I've also seen some reviews that say you have to travel with all 3 colors -- totally not true! The three pots separate, so you can store them separately, travel with just one color, or keep all 3 stuck together :)

I cannot figure out if this is irritating my eyes. It seems that the natural organic mascara could have been as I have used this along with another mascara with little problem. It is super longlasting and it goes on smoothly.. its very pigmented as well. The brush that comes with it was nice to begin with, but after a few washes, the brush has some bristles that are not conforming to the "sleek" design and jotting out in different directions - making a not so smooth, straight line.. i recommend getting another liner brush soon after purchasing if you dont already hv one. Overall, this is a nice product that I hope is not the cause of my eye puffiness and irritation. A little goes a long way and there has been no drying, even after several months of being opened.

Favorite, favorite, favorite eyeliner ever!! And Physician's Formula too, WOW.

Okay, so I was using every eyeliner from Maybeline gel eyeliner to Benefit's Magic Ink eyeliner to The Body Shop liquid eyeliner. This stuff rocks it all.
----
I discovered this product because my friend was wearing it and it looked gorgeous (she works for MAC at Macy's) so I had to have it. It comes with three different shades, and I love the brush. In fact, I lost the brush and used about four different brushes until I just bought a whole new package just for the brush.
----
It lasts forever, I've gotten a ton of compliments & recommend it to anyone! Also, the packaging is pretty neat. The three eyeliners can each be seperated or they are magnetic and can stick together! Pretty cool. Buy it, it's like 7 bucks.

Well, I don't have blue eyes...but I'd recommend this trio to anyone! The navy/blue color is unique at the d/s and beautiful. The brown has a taupe-y effect on me, which I love! The black is great for going out since it has blue shimmer in it. The lasting power on my top lid is excellent and definitely beats my Stila smudge pot. I love the twisting tower (although you have to travel with all 3 colors). The brush that it comes with made too thick of a line for my liking, but it is nice. Overall, this is one of the best new things out there and I totally recommend it...blue eyes or not!

I have brown eyes but I purchased the blue and green eye sets. The blue one is great, I love it. I usually use my L'Oreal Hip brown cream liner(for now until it runs out) but I when I want something different I use the black in this trio. It's black with blue shimmers in it. It's not too obvious that it has blue in it but it gives it just a hint of shimmer for some fun. The brown is medium in color with shimmer and like someone else stated the blue is in between Cobalt and Navy and is not shimmery. I can't believe how smooth these go on, super creamy and easy to apply. I really dislike the packaging but I guess it makes it easier to travel with more than 1 color for options. I also think they are pretty small in comparison to Mac or L'Oreal but those end up drying out before it's all used up so the smaller size completely makes sense. My fav look with these is Naked pigment on the lid with the blackened teal in the Nars Rajasthan duo in the crease and Universal Mix for highlight. Add the black on the top and lower lashline and the whole blue shimmer completely ties in with the teal from Rajasthan. Beautiful! I would def repurchase. I forgot to add I threw out the brush it came with but I would use it if I was in a pinch.
