A Girl Converted: Maybelline Smoky Surprise Eye Trio

Hey all! I have been so busy with work and other drama, I have finally found some time to sit down for a rest and to properly try some of the lovely treaties sent to me as competition winner from Cosmetic Kingdom in January.


The main product I was excited to try was the Smoky Surprise, being a fan of smoky eye look and never been brave enough to do it through fear of 'over-blacking' and looking awful, but I wanted to be outgoing, so I tried it - I LOVED the results!!! 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The colour's look lovely and strong, the foam applicator is an OK size, but I prefer to use a brush really.  It is a good size for a make up bag.  The reason I LOVE this product is that it saves carrying around 3 pots of individual colour, so its nice and easy to get a fabulous look and the colours are designed to blend together well.

Effect & Application

After initially being a little wary of trying the smoky eye look I was keen to see how well it would work - knowing and trusting the Maybelline brand I was looking forward to this.  I used the colours and did as I was instructed, I was VERY happy with the results and now I am converted to the look as I know it can be done and not look awful.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS

I LOVE this product, its easy to use and fantast for first time eye make-uppers who are a little unsure of what colours work and blend, this is a good confidence builder and has definitely made me more keen to try challenging looks with black eyeshadow.
