Annabelle Smoothie eyeshadow pencil * A review *

Hey Lovelies,

I am here with a Annabelle product, the smoothie eyeshadow pencil.
This is what it looks like:

Product Description: (From Annabelle's website)
The new generation of brightly colored long wear eyeshadow. Waterproof, crease-free and mess-free, the smoothie eyeshadow pencils will keep going as long as you do! Use them as a liner, as an eyeshadow by using only one shade all over the lid or by blending more colors of smoothie pencils together, or even as an eyeshadow base to give your favorite powdered shadows a professional hold and an outstanding color pay-off! The makeup junkie in you will be ecstatic! Easy to apply, convenient and fast, this versatile, creamy, light-weight pencil is available in a variety of vibrant hues.

Availability:
Annabelle Smoothie eyeshadow pencils comes in 8 different shades and is available at most drugstores in Canada.
US residents can order online at: annabellecosmetics.ca


Features:
-Shade: Down 2 earth
-Size: 1.6g
-Jumbo pencil form

Cost: 
Annabelle Smoothie eyeshadow pencil retails for $8.95 (CAD). I purchased mine on clearance for $4,95 because it is a discontinued shade. (Limited edition, "Gypsyland winter 2011", this shade may be hard to come across).

Pigmentation / Shade:
This eyeshadow pencil is extremely pigmented. "down 2 earth" is a bronzed olive shade with loads of sparkles.

Application:
Annabelle smoothie comes in a pencil form, application is smooth and precise. Glides on with ease and doesn't pull on skin.

Wear:
The lasting power of this smoothie is very remarkable, a tiny bit of creasing when used without primer but nothing major. I put it on as a eyeshadow in the morning and at night when comes the time to wash it off, it's in perfect condition, exactly like it was when first applied in the morning.


 Pros:
-Budget friendly,
-long wear,
-pigmented,
-Hypo-allergenic,
-easy to use.

Cons:
-Doesn't come with a sharpener.

Overall review:
I must say, this is my ultimate favorite eyeshadow pencils. The color pay-off is AMAZING!!!
I am glad I came across this eyeshadow pencil and will most likely purchase them in all shades available. I haven't used it as a base because I fine the shade to be a little too dark but I will definitely try it out with a lighter shade. I purchase this over the week-end and have been wearing it ever since, everyday no lie! The only downfall is that it doesn't come with a sharpener, no big deal but it would be perfect if it did come with one.
To make this product even better, Annabelle cosmetics do not test on animals!!!
I would recommend this pencil to everyone!!!


I give Annabelle smoothie eyeshadow pencil 4.5 / 5

That is all for now,
Thanks for reading,
Kisses and fireworks,
