In love!! I've been using this everyday for the past week. And its perfect to sling in my purse as well if I need to touch up (which I never do!) Lasts absolutely all day - I wear it to work so perhaps about 9 hrs, and when I get home its exactly as I applied. A beautiful dark brown with shimmer - maybe like mulch, a lighter bronze and then an even lighter champagne colour.

It is stunning and such a bargain at $10.99 USD from allcosmeticswholesale.com where I purchased it. Love love love it!

Like the Vallarta and Acapulco trios, I just love the embossed sundial picture on it. This is a great everyday look for people who just want a simple and natural look.

I loooove this trio! It got really pretty neutral colors, which is really frosted. I usually don't like that, but this trio is just different. The texture is amazing. Smooth, extremely long-lasting and blend soooo well.
The only thing that bother me, is that the light and medium shade is kind of identical. Not totally, but I wish they were more different. And the last plus is that you get a lot of eyeshadow for your money! :D

This is one of Stila's best trios in my opinion. First of all, it's HUGE!! There is a ridiculous amount of product. Which is kind of funny when I think about it, I love it so much that I decided to buy a backup since it's LE. Yeah right, like I'll ever finish the first one!!

Texture is typical Stila goodness - soft, smooth and blends like buttah. The outer color is a shimmery beigey gold, makes a great highlight but nothing that you probably don't already have. The middle ring is the kicker, a shimmery golden green that I think looks best when applied wet. I have nothing else in my stash that is similar to this, I think it's very unique. The inner circle is a nicely pigmented bronzey brown. I can apply it very softly in the crease or darker as a liner.

The colors coordinate beautifully with one another and make a lovely yet unique neutral eye (because of the green). Oh Stila, I love you so much!

I love this trio. It's all you need for your eye makeup. There's a softer color for highlight and inner corner, a medium tones color for the outer corner and a darker color for liner and crease. It's perfect. The colorscheme is brown and it's nice for every eyecolor. Pretty shimmery but okay for me. The packaging is amazing and the print/impression on the shadows is so lovely. I would buy this again it's gorgeous.

I received this in a swap from an extremely generous MUAer. This is a great neutral palette for day, and has plenty of shimmer to double for evening wear... it's also great foiled. Since there is so much shimmer, a light hand is recommended for day use. I find it to be well pigmented and don't need to "double load" my brush for evening use... just one good packing does the job. For day, I pack my brush well with the outer (lightest) color and use as an allover wash, then lightly swipe the medium shade for my crease (one light swipe), and the center for the outer corners of my lids and as liner... the same for evening, just pack more into my brush or foil. This would also be great for travel. I haven't had any creasing problems with it, but I've only used it with Art Deco's e/s primer. While I have similar shades in various forms, I've been using this one a lot because of the convenience of the packaging... one little box to open, no brainer... great when you're in a hurry! I've used it almost every day since I got it and haven't made a dent in it, so I'm not sure if it will still be available by the time I use this up, since there's so much product... BUT, if it is, I would definitely purchase my next one.

Loved this e/s. Very nuetral and not too shimmery. Velvety soft and have no creasing problem. The packaging is wonderful and the amount of e/s you get is amazing!! It will last a long time! I am now awaiting delivery of Stila Trio Acapulco ....as soon I as I get it, I will review! Would buy again!!

When I spotted this trio I really liked the colors, then I saw the name and I had to get it no matter what (I am part Sinaloense, where Mazatlan is located in, and have gone to Mazatlan several times) I was so excited because I have never seen anything sinaloense get referenced in make-up....EVER, so now on to the product itsels the colors are great, they are very neutral, and are perfect for an everyday look. I wear them often, the only minus is that I bought it full price 32USD :-(,but oh well it is a pretty big pot.

The colors are very practical for everyday use. Hard to go wrong with these. They go well together, alone, or with other shadows. They match almost every color eyeliner. Am very pleased with this eyeshadow. The texture is soft and easy to apply. Very natural looking. The shimmer is not obvious at all. Very flattering daily browns. I thought the packaging was made of cardboard when I bought it online but was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's actually metal. Will buy this again.

Extremely frosty. It didn't apply well to my lids, unlike other Stila eyeshadows.

I really like this trio, even though it could be a TAD more pigmented. I got it for a good price on ebay (14.99). The colors when swathed change with the angle and range from bronzy to a taupe like color. It is a great everyday, neutral trio. One would need something more intense for an evening out.

I love this trio and I'm surprised that there aren't more reviews for it. I used this almost daily for about two weeks when I first purchased it. There are three shimmery earthtone shades..olive, a basic highlighter, and a medium brown shade that looks a bit bronzey. They could use more pigmentation but it's not that bad. All three shades are soft and blendable. They also look nice on my NC42 skin. They don't look so shimmery indoors but when outdoors in natural light, they can look a bit over the top and on the sparkly side especially the lightest shade. I would repurchase this but not at full price. I found it at TJ Maxx for only $5.

I, too, scored a big win in finding this for 5.00 at TJ Maxx... I nearly started hyperventilating when I spotted it. I can't help it, I LOVE a bargain! Anyway, I love this. I really love the color around the edge - it is such a pretty, slightly shimmery brownish color. Love the dark color, too - it is more matte. There is also a khaki-ish color. This is a steal for 5.00! The only thing is - I am perplexed about the size of this thing - it is the size of a compact! I mean, who would ever use this much eyeshadow of one kind? There is enough product here to use every day for 50 years or something. I don't like the packaging much but the actual shadows are amazing. Look for it at your local TJ Maxx. It is very much worth $5.00!!!

I picked this trio up at TJ Maxx yesterday for the ridiculously cheap price of (ready for this?!?): $5.00!!!!! And I know from personal experience how expensive Stila products can be, so as soon as I saw this e/s trio, I snatched it up super fast (along w/ Stila's guinevere's deluxe palette for $5.00 as well). Anyway, I love this shadow trio. I use the lightest shade all over first then either the taupe-y green or the darker brown in the crease, depending on my mood. These colors are great neutrals and are, of course, high-quality shadows typical of Stila. Run out and grab this one fast before it's gone! (oh, and the embossing on the shadows is pretty as well-very Mexican-Aztec, hence the name 'mazatlan'; very cool).

pros: soft silky rich color, used on top of mac's painterly it lasts all day! very neutral, everyday look. i found it new on ebay for $15! doubt i would have paid full price ($32) for it. i love love love the lightest color, i use it outside the trio with other mac faves such as bronze, tempting, mulch, etc.

cons: medium and dark colors are too close in color, no real difference when applied. first application had tons of fall-out, though i haven't seem to have it since :)

for ref: NC30-35
