Hype is a funny collection — it has two parts, one exclusive to Shopper’s Drug Mart and the other simply referred to as the “National collection,” ie the one that will launch everywhere. Well, I just have the National collection, but so far I’ve been pretty happy with the shadows. I’ll be sharing some swatches and reviewing the shadows tomorrow, but here’s an eye of the day in the meantime. I hope you like it!

My god, I’m going to miss the gorgeous lighting that summer brings…

Now, I almost never take photos in the direct sun, unless I can help it — it’s so unforgiving and harsh! (Plus, my skin always looks a little funny.) However, it really helps show how CRAZY vivid these shadows are, so I took a few anyways for this look. I did foil the shadows, which made a huge difference, but man! are they pigmented.

P.S. I just love the shadow that these falsies cast!

Products used:

Annabelle shadows in Rainforest, Lagoon, and Fantasy. (The Hype National collection also includes Ultraviolet, which didn’t make it into this EOTD… sorry!)
