Drugstore Gem: Annabelle Smoothie

Posted by in featured, suggestion | 6 comments

Drugstore Gem is a titled given to those exceptional products that I’ve discovered at the drugstore. While there is no shortage of products to choose from in the beauty aisles, these particular products stand out and shine. Prices will vary based on your location, so be sure to check out your local stores for that information.

Melonade, Grapefull, Licoriche, Cocoaloco & Acaidasiac

Annabelle Smoothie Eyeshadow Pencil

  • waterproof, crease-free and mess-free
  • use as a liner, an eyeshadow or as an eyeshadow base
  • available in a variety of vibrant hues
  • contain no parabens, no preservatives, no mineral oil and no paraffins

A number of companies have been adding chubby pencils to their line up, which can make it difficult to decide. Annabelle nailed this one with precision though. These pencils are remarkably creamy, very easy to apply, blend like a dream and once you’re done they set. This is a true set too, they won’t move until you break out the makeup remover. The colour range is small but fabulous, with something for the neutral fans, smokey divas or those who love brights.

Have you used these pencils yet? What do you think of them? Do you have a favourite shade?

Licoriche was sent by PR for consideration, but the rest I purchased myself.

    These look great! They remind me of the Stila eyeliners I keep meaning to buy, until I remember how much they cost. Where do they sell Annabelle? I think I’ve seen it before, but I can’t remember what stores sell that brand. I want the purple one and the turquoise one.

      They absolutely are great and definitely more wallet friendly than Stila. ;] Annabelle is a Canadian brand, you can find it in most drugstores.. Rexall, Shoppers Drug Mart & Walmart.

    These are really pretty.. like the NYX jumbo eye pencils but with some fresh colors. That teal is gorgeous! Yay for drugstore stuff, woop! I’ll look out for these in future shopping trips.

      That’s what I thought when I first saw them.. LOL. They go on just as creamy, but they don’t crease.. or smudge, which is why I only have a few NYX jumbo pencils.
