Annabelle Cosmetics Day Dream Spring 2011

I found a wicked bright surprise in my drugstore today. Annabelle released their Day Dream Spring collection. In it was 4 eyeshadows, 2 lipglosses and I saw 2 glitter liners and there were a couple of other things but I got sidetracked swatching the testers in the display!

First impression? I am in LUURRRVVEEE DUDE!

These are BRIGHT! And MATTE! And awesomely PIGMENTED! And just $4.99 ea! I have other Annabelle mono's but these 4 are my favs so far, they seem more pigmented than last year's spring collection (there was a pink, teal, cream and can't remember the 4th)

The little pans are the exact size as MAC pro pan refills. You can put these in a MAC palette but you will need to buy a strip of magnet to cut and stick to the back of the pans. Annabelle has a empty quad they sell and the palette is magnetised so no extra work is needed there. I only had 3 spaces left in my MAC palette so these new bad boys got to find a home in the empty Annabelle quad I bought on sale last year, so it now feels less lonely being filled :D

The shades I picked up are: Reverie (bright blue), Airhead (purple), Dayglow (bright acid yellow), Dollywood (pretty pink)




Ohhhh pretty blue I love youuuu

I be Haulin'! Annabelle cosmetics Swatches

I'mmmmm baaaaaaaack!

And got my shop on again. London Drugs here is discontinuing all their Annabelle products for some reason (Wal-mart and Shoppers Drug Mart still carries it) so I grabbed a frikkin truckload to swatch fer ya.
For those who don't know, Annabelle is Canuckian and only sold here methinks.

It looked to be all half price so I grabbed some extra's for a future giveaway. (As soon as Fyrinnae lets me hit "paypal please!" I should be set)

This is what I snagged:


And here are the swatches! Pay attention to the first shade and the bright green liner hinty hint hint.



Mineral Pigment dust in Solar and Eco Chic.
Liners from left to right, top row:
Limette, Atomic Surf, Cyber Jungle
2nd row:
Green Tease, Vortex Violet, Bronze

Lipglosses:
Breathless, Liquid Honey

Breathless:



Liquid Honey:



I'm kinda bummed Green Tease doesn't really play nice with me. I should learn my lesson, gold is great as a shadow, crap as a drug store liner. I had a gold liner when I was 16, same thing happened, not enough payoff to look awesome.
Oh well!

Now a sneakpeek at some of the stuffz I wanna toss into my giveaway soon (minus the gloss in the pic, stupid thing burst through the side and I had to squeeze it into a different container :SAD)



(The Annabelle stuff in photo is still sealed, I bought doubles, 1 for meh, 1 for yeh)

oOo Hidden Treasure is in there? That's righty, I found a couple and was going to hoard them both but decided to play nice and give one up.

And why is there a box of candy in there? To show my friends to the south what Smarties are SUPPOSED to look like :) And the chosen one will get to happily nom those babies up too. I just have to pick up a few things from Fyrinnae, go through my stash of backups I can part with, see if I can find another Joe Felt Liner, and I should be all ready to go.

It's GREAT TO BE BACK!!!!
