What it is: Annabelle’s eyshadow trio in
Creme Caramel
. (All 2.7g of it are made in Canada, for the record! *mad dancing ensues*).jpg)
Here’s the rundown: Dude, look at the photos. This trio is gorgeous! While I’m not a huge fan of it on my skintone (it looks rather muddy,) I can say that it definitely looks great on my warmer-toned friends and family. The only place where it falls a little flat is pigmentation. Yes, it swatches beautifully, but once you start blending… a lot of it’s gone. They’re still at the top notch of the drugstore ladder, though, if you ask me — more pigmented than Maybelline, on par with GOSH, and kicking Covergirl’s arse over and over again.
In terms of texture, these are comparable to midrange shadows if you ask me. They’re both easy to use and easy to blend, but while they’re not crumbly to the point of annoying powderiness, they’re not deliciously buttery, either. Mine did have a bit of an accident in the mail on its way to me, but not too much of one! I have zero complaints in terms of texture — it’s nice, but doesn’t stun my eyeliner off.

The verdict? So maybe it’s not as pigmented as the $20 Urban Decay shadow you just picked up or as buttery as a $24 Senna trio. However, at just over $7 each, this trio is a total steal! These shadows are gorgeous, soft (but not too crumbly) and quite versatile.
Unless you’re the colour of dead people.
Like me.
