eye make up review: No 7 stay perfect eye shadow trio

Hi everyone I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing an eye shadow from the line No 7 by Boots. Boots it's a European brand drugstore. The brand No 7 has a wide variety of products to choose from. It has skin care to make up, I will focus on the line Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow Trio.7

Product Claims:

This eye shadow trio compact contains three high-impact colors that blend effortlessly and last for hours.

How To Use:
Prepare the eyelid for application with No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing & Brightening Eye Base. Use a brush to apply Shade 1 (top shade) as a highlighter all over the lid from lash line to brow. Apply Shade 2 (middle shade) onto lower lid, from lash line to the crease of your eye. Apply Shade 3 (bottom shade) at the lash line as an eye liner. Using a damp brush will intensify the color, creating a more dramatic look.

Product Experience:
The product comes in black oblong shaped packaging. It has a nice wide clear top so you can clearly see the eye shadows.
It's a pressed eye shadow trio so you get three eye shadows a light, medium and dark shade. You get 3 g 0.1 oz. of product for $7.99
I bought a 2 eye shadow trio from the line, the one I bought the colors I know I will use often and will be good for travel as well.
I bought the Classic Matte trio and Cappuccino . The Classic matte trio is shades of grey like the name it's all matte shades. The lightest shade has a light matte bone shade. The medium shade is a light matte silver and the the darkest shade is a matte grey.
The cappuccino is a trio of taupe's.  In this trio all the colors have shimmery finish.
The shadows both matte and shimmery shades are so buttery and smooth. Easy to apply and blends easily with each other.

Cons
  • It's supposed to be long lasting but it only lasted 3 hours on my lids without the use of a primer.
  • Needs a good tacky eye shadow base
  • The shadows are too soft and powdery creates a lot of fall out
  • The eyeshadow themselves break easily because they are so soft.

Eye shadow review: No 7 Stay Perfect Perfect smoothing eye shadows

Hi Everyone,

I hope your having a good start to your day, today I will be reviewing the cream shadow from the Brand No. 7. Drugstores brands are now starting to come up with excellent cream eye shadow that rivals the quality of high end make up with out the price.
I've seen the brand No. 7 at Target for a while but had not picked up any products. Since I have subscribed to Lisa Eldriged make up artist extraordinaire on YouTube. I've been curious with the brand, Lisa Eldriged helped create a lot of the products and colors in this brand.

No 7 Stay perfect Smoothing Eye shadow

Product Claims:
This smooth, cream eye shadow delivers luminescence and a sheer wash of color. Easy to apply – eye color dries slowly on the eyelid, making it easy to blend.

How To Use: Apply using fingertips and blend to create the desired effect. A brush may be used for more precise definition.
.14 oz.
there are 6 colors available

left to right
top shades Bronze, nude, pewter
bottom shades pale green and pretty pink


Product Experience:
I bought the nude and bronze shade, the product comes in a clear plastic tube with a doe foot wand. You get .14 oz. of product for $6.99.
The product is nice and creamy and very pigmented, it blends easily. It does have a much slower drying time so you have plenty of time to blend. Some times I feel it sets too slow I end up over blending and loosing a lot of color and intensity. Once it's set it will not budge unless you use a make up remover.The color lasts for more than 8 hours.

Pros
  • A little goes a long way.
  • Color can be easily built up.
  • Blends easily.
  • Highly pigmented.
  • Cream shadow has a soft,smooth and very light texture. I will say its got a whipped mousse like texture.
  • Feels very light on the skin, not greasy or drying.
  • Dries on the slow side so you have a lot of time to blend.
  • Once dry it is budge proof.
  • Great to use as a eye shadow base to make colors pop or used alone to add definition to your eyes.
  • Can be easily taken off with soap and water or any make up remover.
  • Has a nice compact packaging good for travel and doesn't take a lot of room.
  • Available at every Target store.
  • Inexpensive.
Cons
  • There are only 6 colors available.
  • Has a doe foot wand applicator and can be unsanitary but for personal use it okay.
  • All cream shadows have a shimmery finish, the nude shade has a satin finish.
  • Cream shadow will flake off if you used too much, but can be prevented if you apply an even and thin layer.

I like this cream shadow I think it's one the best in the drugstore, it IS worth looking into. The line doesn't have a lot colors and finishes available but you have the basic colors that you need to create a look. Hopefully the brand will expand the line of cream eye shadows.
