My Fav Drugstore Liners - Annabelle Smudgeliners!

Im not sure if you heard me rave about these before or not, but i LOVEE Annabelle's smudgeliners! They are (in my opinion) one of the best drugstore liners out there because they are just so creamyy and they last on your lashline forever! here are the smudgeliners i currently own (i recently got honey and foxy grey as part of my prize in Annabelle's hype it up contest)

Purple storm, Armour, Wired, Honey, Foxy Grey

and here are the many many swatches haha. i had some free time to take pictures in different lighting so i thought i might as well post them all up so you can get a good look at the what the colors look like!

btw.. armour is probably my FAV eyeliner shade :) its a gorgeous mix of grey and purple with some shimmer :)

i will be providing swatches of these applied on my eyes in another post! :) but for now, heres a quick review :)

Packaging - 4/5
This pencil measures about 16cm with the two lids and about 13.5 without. It is a very sturdy pencil in that the lids are tight enough so that it wont fall off and i find that the color on the outside of the pencil is a very good indicator of the color inside. On one end is of course the eyeliner itself, but on the other end is a sturdy sponge tip used for blending. I find that this is very handy for days when you want to soften your eyeliner a bit or create a smokey eye effect. Plus, the pencil itself just looks pretty and oh, a big important factor is that the name is printed on the pencil itself so you never forget what its called!

Product quality - 5/5
this is why the pencil is one of my all time favourites! the formula is super creamy and soft making it really easy to apply. plus, the color payoff is superb! Sometimes, the problem with creamy pencils can be that it fades and blends away too easily. However, this is not the case with the smudgeliners! I find that after i apply them in the morning, these will really stay on my lashlines (top and lower) until the end of the day when i go to remove them. There may be subtle smudging near the end of the day but overall, these liners stay where you put them!

Overall - 4.5/5
I love this product :) I believe these go for the price of about $8.95 CAD but sometimes, you can find sales which bring down the price alot :) From the above smudgeliners, my all time favourite shade is Armour! Its just such a gorgeous shade thats a mix between a greyish purple with some shimmer in it :) I think i really need to get a backup of it just in case i run out!

ohh and look at all the other shades available on website! i see some really bright shades that look soo pretty :D


so tell me, have you tried these before? if not, would you like to?

im always looking to see if my followers from outside of Canada are interested in Annabelle because i know its not available outside of Canada just yet. Since i really love these products and would love to share them with everyone, if i get a good response, i would love to include more Annabelle products in future giveaways! please let me know what you think and if there are any specific Annabelle products you really want to try!
