At last! My lemming has been well, lemming this for quite some time (I have an affinity for Parisian things, lol) and this trio is amongst my dearly held treasures :-) I love the fact that these are matte e/s instead of the shimmery colors that Stila so often puts out- the lightest shade is great as a base, but the magenta shade.. hmmm... well, just don't try to use this in your lower lashline- makes ya look like you've been either crying or have some weird eye thing going on. Works great in the crease though, in combination with the darkest shade (which you CAN use for lining). Overall, I love the colors, and the packaging (which I wish Stila hadn't discontinued!)

I had the Anniversary set which contained the Passage to Paris Trio. Unfortunately, the pigmentation of Stila shadows are mediocre, especially for deep skinned ladies. They also seemed chalky. I ended up swapping it away.

This trio offers very pigmented matte colors. I like that these colors are more unique then some other trios (daquiri trios, DWL). The meduim shade (berry) is a bit scary if you dont like dramatic colors. I mainly use this as blush, but sometimes blend a teeny tiny bit into the crease for oomph! This trio gets good marks for quality and novelty however girls who are fair might not like how stark these colors can be.

I have this in the anniversary palette and I love it! The lightest shade works well as a wash, pink for lid or crease and purple for liner or crease... the colors are easily arranged into various looks also. The cardboard pinwheel trios are not very portable though.

I must admit, this is not the best trio. But I think the colors are more wearable than most of the people here, I just wasn't pleased with the texture/pigment compared to other Stila shadows. I use the light color from lashline to brow and then go in with the pink in the crease. Right there, it looks scary. But by blending in the deep lilac shade, you get a soft look that adds a lot of depth to your eyes. I personally, can easily pull off pink or purple e/s while others look sick or bruised due to my coloring. So I'm sure it wouldn't look good on everybody. But overall, it's a winner for me! Just wish the purple was more pigmented and having at least some shimmer in one or two of the shadows would make it prettier. But for matte shades, I can create a lot of depth!

I am one of the few who really loves this trio! I like matte shades because they give me a more polished look than glitter/shimmer. Passage to Paris has a matte pale pink that I use lid to upper crease. The darkest shade is a burgandy that looks very sophisticated as both a wet-liner and a dry crease color. OK, so I don't use the scary bright pink shade. Maybe some day I will try it as a blush. But as it is with most trios that I own, I really only use 2 out of the 3 colors.

Although from a distance this looks pretty, up close you realize (at least I did) that the 3 purply-pink colors in this trio are all a little too funky to get much wear from. I also tend to like shimmer when I'm wearing "fun" e/s colors, and these are just too matte for my taste. Not the best trio in which to invest!

The colors in this trio were scary to look at in the packaging and it was even scarier when I had it on. I just could not pull off this look. I'm not sure if it's just the way I applied it, but I am definitely staying the hell away from these colors.

Though these colors are unique, I find that they are not as smooth and easy to blend as other e/s that the Stila line is renown for, and the matte-ness of them just makes them appear that they are missing something.

Oh my gosh these colors looked AWFUL on me! It made me look like someone had punched me in the face. This has got to be my all time least favorite trio.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like this trio. It's different and unique: it consists of a pale dusty pink, a vibrant medium fuchsia and a dark smoky plum all with matte textures. The dusty pink and plum pair quite well and create a great smoky fall look. I like to use the fuchsia as a wash over a shimmery pale shade to create a berry color that makes my green eyes pop. My SO called these shades "bedroom makeup," so I take it they look sexy ; ) They are not for everyone, but they do make for unique looks.

cute packaging--waste of $ for the products--the pale pink is just like any other base color you already own, and the darker shade makes a plain but wearable liner. to use the shades in a ny other way requires a)that you have the type of features right for this color cheme--or basically large well defined eyes that will look great in almost any color b)that you are going to a darkly lit place. JMHO :)

Sadly I'd probably buy this again because I like the packaging and the colors are pretty HOWEVER, they looked terrible on me. Maybe I was doing it wrong but I just couldnt get them to work. Seemed a bit too reddish/mauve-ish/pink.

I agree with JT14 -- this trio looked terrible on me! These colors aren't even close to being wearable. For Halloween, sure, but not for everyday wear.

This eyeshadow trio comes with a pale pink shimmery shade, a dark purple, and a hot pink. The pink shade is the highlighter and the purple is the crease, liner shade. I personally have been using the hotpink as a blush which looks nice but it should be used in the center of the eye for 'pop' like the Moulin Rouge look that is in right now. The shadows were OK, I don't think they are as long lasting as some. If the shades appeal to you, get it, if not skip this one as it is nothing special.

Stila Passage To Paris Trio--I really did not like this at all. I liked the pale pink base shade, but the deep purple just went on a bit weird. And it looked muddy on me. And once I blended the bright pink shade, it was just all together scary. This is definitely going back. Not for me at all!
