(Can you believe that my computer is STILL out of service, so I still can’t post photos? Yah… me neither.)


Anyhow, I had the opportunity to check out Annabelle’s new spring offerings today — and I have to say, I’m impressed! They certainly live up to the Annabelle standard, and are even more gorgeous in person that they are on the screen.


I’m going to say it one more time, though: if you were interested in the shadows they’ll be discontinuing, get on that NOW. I checked out B-Ray and Vivid Violet today (my god I want to show you those swatches!) and they’re simply amazing. While Vivid Violet was adorable (more on the “vivid” than the “violet,” it’s like a plummed-pink with gold shimmer,) B-Ray really took the cake. The violet shadow needed to be foiled to release all of its beauty, but B-Ray’s a stunner both foiled and dry! Not to mention it’s insanely pigmented — you know how Make Up For Ever’s 92 is like purplepalooza? Imagine a navy blue vesion of that, but even more pigmented.


That’s right. B-Ray is more pigmented than MUFE 92. And when you foil it, it’s a delicious inky blue, as opaque as a good liquid liner.


(Stains like hell, like most high-pigment mattes, but it is SO worth it.)


The moral of the story is that you should go pick up B-Ray (RIGHT NOW!) before they’re all gone ;)
