What a great little mini palette. I bought this because I wanted the gray color, but all three colors look good with my skin tone and eye color. There is also a barley color and a taupe in the trio. I use them often. The quality of NYX eye shadows is just as good as any high end brand I've tried. They are very pigmented, apply smoothly and blend easily, and wear all day with primer. I definitely recommend this,.

I bought this because of a beauty broadcast youtube review suggesting MAC dupes; she brought this palette up as being close dupes for the shades nylon, satin taupe and knight divine. I wasn't expecting much from the suggested nylon or knight divine dupes, but I'm a sucker for taupe-y anything, and love the nyx eyeshadow formulas so I bought this trio. But I ended up loving all 3 shades! I do wear them together pretty often. If you apply the darkest shade on the right with a light hand it can probably pass in a more uptight day job.
NYX eyeshadows have decent staying power and good pigmentation, I always use a primer first with any eyeshadows and haven't had fading issues with this trio. These three shades all have satin-ish shine to them more than shimmer and aren't true matte shades. However, they're not glittery so you're not going to have to deal with fallout all day/night.

Each of these eyeshadows is the size of a MAC shadow. You get a warm beige highlight, a cool taupe, and a shimmery dark grey. It's not easy to depot but I managed to get them out and put them in my MAC palette. They are great basic colors.

I. Love. This. Product.

Basically the other reviewer covers everything I wanted to say, but seriously, this is my everyday look. I use the lighter shades for school/day, and use the darker one more for nights/going out. You WON'T regret this! Get it!!! :)

I wanted to purchase the Smashbox Eyelights trio in Smokebox but, for some strange reason, this one isn't available in Canadian retail outlets (all the other trios are!). Then I saw this trio from NYX at the drugstore and it seems to be an exact, identical twin dupe!!!


I'm amazed that no one has reviewed this trio yet. It consists of a very light, slightly yellow highlighter (similar to MAC's Ricepaper or maybe Nylon), a shimmery true taupe shade and then an almost black shade, also with shimmer. The shimmer in all 3 colours is pretty subtle, though it is most noticeable in the black shadow. The shadows are very smooth and there is no fall out with any of the 3 shades. Pigmentation on the lightest colour isn't very intense but on the other 2 shades, it is up there with the best of them! Considering that the Smashbox trio is $35 US and the NYX one is well under 10 dollars and contains 3 really excellent, wearable shadows in a pretty nice package - solid, sturdy and sleek looking and with a nice mirror to boot (and a pretty useless applicator), this is a fantastic value!
