The Annabelle 4Show Collection was released not so long ago but it looks like this isn't the actual spring collection. I saw this at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. Annabelle says that these products are for makeup junkies who want to express their inner artistry!
The Annabelle 4Show Collection features:
- 4 new Annabelle Studio 4Show Eyeshadow quads in
- 4 new Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss in
I really like Coralicious! It's a beautiful pinky coral colour hehe I have a soft spot for corals.

The eyeshadows are really lacking in pigmentation when used dry and the texture is on the harder side. Not velvety smooth :(
I also saw Annabelle's new LipStain Markers and Smoothie Eyeshadow Pencils at Shoppers but it was a different store. These two specific products are exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart and they are also limited edition! I am always intrigued about new lipstains (still waiting on the NYC ones) so if I get the chance, I will definitely try them.
If you are dying to try out the LipStain Markers(~$8.95CAD), you better get them quick because they're limited edition >< I swatched these and they're like any other lipstain in terms of use and application. It's exactly like a marker, easy to control.
These Smoothie Eyeshadow Pencils(~$8.95CAD) are exactly how they are named: they glide on like a dream. If you've ever used an Annabelle smudgeliner, it's even smoother than that! You slick it on, wait for a minute or two, and BAM! It stays put without fading or smudging. I washed my hands with the swatches on and they didn't budge.

Grapefull stand out to me the most because it has blue shimmers in it, giving it a very mysterious effect.
Now, the actual Spring 2011 collection is called Day Dream. Featuring bright fun colours like flamboyant yellow, you're bound to scream spring (and Easter)!
This limited edition collection includes:
Annabelle tend to group all their collection releases which is rather annoying...obviously customers will send more when you release them one by one :P Anyways, I hope you found this post somewhat interesting and informative. I am not affiliated with this company, I just really like their products so I want to spread the word ^^ I'll probably be lemming most of these new products. Unfortunately, my wallet won't allow me to bring all of these home :( *sniffs* Enjoy your weekend!!! Is there something you're dying to get? Let me know!
