Hola, girls. What are your plans for the weekend? My plans involve choosing a wallpaper for my room this weekend & getting some craft supplies since I have been feeling quite crafty these days. Doing little stuff in between routine tasks.
I am going to talk about Boots No Seventeen Trio Eyeshadow in Velvet Chic, which is a forgotten piece. I also got Blue Storm from the same range. The pieces are made in Thailand and my sister got them for me last year.

Availability

Shade
Violet Chic. Contains 3 beautiful pearly colours- Deep Plum, light Pink and light purple/lilac. The deep plum is a must have shade for the current fall season. While the light shades goes perfectly on the inner corners of the eyes.
Packaging
It comes in a small tub with screw-in transparent lid. The packaging is quite travel friendly. All the colours are packed in a single round compartment. Sometimes while picking up the colours from the eyeshadow, the colours get merged into each other, but its easy to clean them up.
Texture
The eyeshadow colours are very fine and smooth to apply. It is easy to pick the colours with brush or finger tips. The colours go effortlessly on eye lids.
Pigmentation
Pigmentation of the colours is impressive. One swipe of the eye shadow pigments gives great colour while one more swipe brings out the perfect intensity. Even though the eyeshadow trio contains 2 light shades, but the light shades are as much pigmented as the dark shade.
Finish
The shades gives pearly to matte finish. The eyeshadow trio colours contain little shimmer which are very fine and do not show on the eyes much. The deep plum shade comes more matte, while the light pink and lilac comes in pearly finish.
Longevity
The staying power of the eyeshadow colours is decent. The dark plum stays longer than the lighter shades. The colours can be rubbed off very easily. wearing a primer can enhance the intensity and longevity of the colours.

Summary : 3/5
Seventeen is a popular and affordable range from Boots. This particular eye shadow trio is also a decent buy. Not a must have, but good enough to flaunt it after you own it.
I generally wear Makeup Revolution Day & Night Palette, since it has so versatile colours.
