Maybelline "Smokey Surprise" trio!!! Review and Swatches

Hey everyone
I have been a little under the whether lately cause the humidity makes me feel like I am suffocating. So as a result today is going to be a bit of a short blog. But besides all that today I am really excited for two reasons: 1) I purchased the new unii palette and can't wait for it to arrive to test it out by depotting my eyeshadows. 2)I did a little bit of shopping at CVS and found this really cool smokey eye trio from maybelline called Smokey surprise. Ok, now that thats out of the way, Let's get back into the maybelline trio, which truly was a surprise because this look is so very easy and simple to do(I can't do a smokey eye look to save my life). Oddly enough, I never even heard of Maybelline having a smokey eye trio, although i do know about their quads and I never seen it on the Maybelline website. The colors in this trio are really pigmented and I think will go well with any skin tone. Maybelline is on a roll! Would I recommend this product to a friend? Yep, it has my stamp of approval.



Here are the swatches. I love the middle color! It reminds me of a grayish brown.

NYX Trio: Copper/Rust/Bronze

Sorry about the glare the case gets greasy and the flash wasn't helping.
















(L-R) Copper, Rust and Bronze
To be honest I don't agree with how NYX labeled the colors I feel like the first color should have been called "Rust" and the second color "copper" cause the singles are labeled the same way it should be.



(L-R) Copper, Rust, Bronze


What it comes with:

• An dual ended applicator
• 3 eyeshadow color (copper/rust/bronze)
• A small mirror

REVIEW:

Hey everyone!
I am going to be doing a tiny NYX review I got from cherryculture.com. (and I mean tiny) I will be reviewing the following trio: copper/rust/bronze. Now I will admit the copper/rust/bronze trio is the hardest trio to figure out how to wear, but I bought it cause the colors are just so beautiful! They are highly pigmented and are so soft and smooth. The first color is copper and it reminds me of a spicy pink( i know that's not a color LOL I love to make up words) color. The "rust" color reminds me of a goldish color with hints of orange in it and the bronze is very difficult to explain, its just... bronze with hints of orange. I thought the bronze color in this trio would be a perfect dupe for Mac's "Bronze" single, but its not. : (


Here is the MAC "Bronze" single


Here are the swatches of the MAC Bronze single and the NYX "Bronze"color from the trio. They are way different than i expected.

(L-R) NYX Bronze swatch( which is more orange like) and Right, is the MAC Bronze swatch (which is more brown with gold undertones almost.

Pros:

• The colors are soft, not chalky
• Highly Pigmented
• Blends well
• Last all day

Cons:

• The packaging is cheap
• The second and last color are similar in color. The NYX "Bronze" color is more of a darker color of the middle one.

Would I recommend this to a friend? YES! This trio is very beautiful and very unique in the NYX collection. Each color can be worn alone (which is what I do) or together, but I am still not sure how to wear them all together.
