Annabelle Glitterama liquid eyeliner

Hey lovelies,

How is everyone doing, great I hope.
I feel like it's been forever since I did a blog post, it's been what, 3 days?? Feels like weeks.....
Anyways, I am here today with a liquid liner review from Annabelle cosmetics a wonderful Canadian brand that I adore.

 Product Description: (Annabelle's website)
It's long lasting formula is loaded with sparkling micro-glitter particles that catch and reflect the light. It's fine, tapered brush applicator picks up the maximum amount of sparkles and distributes the eyeliner smoothly and evenly.

Availability:

Annabelle glitterama liquid eyeliner comes in 15 different shades and is available at most drugstores in Canada. US resident can order online at: annabellecosmetics.ca

Features:

- Shade: Celestial Sky
- Size: 4g
- liquid eyeliner.

Cost:

Annabelle glitterama liquid eyeliner retails for $7,95 (CAD). I purchased in a kit ( glitteramma liquid eyeliner & Metallic Kohl eyeliner pencil ) on sale for $4,99 ( reg $7,99 )

pigmentation / shade:

This glitter liquid liner is nicely pigmented and distributes loads of glitters in one sweep. " Celestial Sky " is a liquid eyeliner packed with tons of teal micro-glitters.

 ( Left to right - Annabelle metallic kohl eyeliner - Glitterama over metallic kohl - glitterama alone )

Wear:

This liquid eyeliner applies nicely and is easy to use. Long lasting but takes forever to dry and tend to transfer to the crease when wearing on the upper lash line.

Pros:

- budget friendly,

- Variety of shades to choose from,

- great applicator,

Cons:

- transfers,

- takes a while to dry,

Overall review:

Overall this is a great liquid eyeliner. I don't like the effect when wore on it's own , I love it on top of any other eyeliner. I recommend to apply at least an hour ( even with a eyelid primer ) before leaving the house because it takes ages to dry and will transfer to the crease if worn on the upper lash line.
I usually combine this glitter liner over Annabelle's metallic Kohl eyeliner pencil in the shade 172 Curacao but it looks great on other eyeliners as well.
I give this liquid liner 3.5 out of 5.

Thanks for stopping by,

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,

Weekend Buys - Haul

Hey lovelies,

I am here with a quick Haul post to show you guys what I purchased for myself this week-end.
This week-end I went shopping for a swap gift and told myself before hitting the stores that I wasn't going to get myself anything ... I failed!!!
Anyways, I was going to show you guys what I got for my swap partner but I am scared that she might be reading this so I decided to keep it a complete surprise, how fun  :)
So here is what I got myself:

As you can see I mostly got polish... as usual...LOL

At Lawtons I got tree polishes: OPI - swedish Nude ($4.99), OPI - yule love this silver ($4.99), Nicole by OPI - one time lime ($4.97).

Two Softlips "Strawberry Sherbet" ($1 each) and Annabelle smoothie eyeshadow pencil in the shade "down 2 earth" ($4,95), I am in LOVE with this smoothie pencil from Annablle!!! Will review soon.

Got 2be Fat-tastic root-boosting spray ($3) I found this at a Discount store called "discount world" very similar to biglots. Really excited to try this out!!

Again at "discount world" I stumble across this cute Apple bottom nail polish kit ($5). I never tried or seen Apple bottom polish before but at $5 for 6 I thought why not give them a try.

 and last but not least, At SuperStore I got two Joe fresh polishes in the clearance bin ($1,94 each). I picked out "Gunmetal" and "grape".

Well that is all for now,

Thanks for stopping by,

My very first time - Annabelle cosmetics -

Hey lovelies,

A little while back as I was browsing the cosmetics aisle at my local Zellers, I spotted some ANNABELLE cosmetics on sale. I never tried anything from Annabelle before but heard great feedback about them. The display was haft empty so I only got two things, a gloss and a face powder.

 

*****

Annabelle "LE GLOSS" 

Retail: $8,25

I got the gloss in the shade " Missy Miss". I always find myself going for the "peachy light colors" when it comes to glosses. Like every other light color gloss, the color doesn't show up on my lips.

it's a shame because the color is beautiful!!! (here's a swatch)

It is a very sticky lip gloss but it actually feels good on my lips. It has the "gloss" smell which sucks in my opinion because I LOVE fruity smelling gloss.

I was expecting this to be a "squeeze type" of gloss because it comes in a tube form but it actually comes with a wand applicator, how awesome?

Overall this is a great gloss, I would recommend it in a heart beat.

*****

Annabelle " BUBBLE FACE POWDER"

Retail: $12,49

Now this "bubble" face powder I LOVE!!! I am a blush maniac and most of my makeup collection consists of blushes. The fun thing with this powder is that you can use it both as a face illuminator and a blush. It comes with a bunch of different shades so you can mix them up to your preference. 

For someone who doesn't own many blushes but would LOVE the options of different shades from time to time this is a great buy. 

Here are some swatches for you:

Overall, I love this Face powder and use it often. I would recommend it to everyone and hopefully this comes in other shades for me to buy. :P

Happy Wednesday,

Kisses and fireworks,
