I'm a huge fan of jumbo eyeshadow pencils, so I was really excited to try out Annabelle's Smoothie Eyeshadow Pencil in the shade Grapefull* ($8.95 CAD/1.6g). This product promises creamy application and long-wearing colour - sounds great to me! I like to use jumbo pencils as either a cream eyeshadow base, or as a liner on my lower lash line.
Annabelle Smoothie Eyeshadow Pencil in the shade Grapefull is a beautiful true purple colour. I really love purple eye shadows, as they aren't too bold (like blues or yellows), but they still add a pop of colour to your look. I've been using this jumbo pencil as both a cream eyeshadow base, and as a liner on my lower lash line. When used as a shadow base, this colour can be blended out to just give a sheer wash of purple, or it can be built up for a more vibrant look. This formula is extremely creamy and easily to blend, but it does set after about 30 seconds. True to the claims, this formula is long-wearing, and lasts on my eyes for about 10 hours before fading! I haven't had any issues with creasing, but that is fairly normal for my eyes.
What a gorgeous color! How is the staying power?

Deleteohh I just got a bright blue. this purple is pretty. i am not sure how much i would wear blue, but the quality of the product is great!
ReplyDeleteThe blue would be pretty on your lower lash line for a pop of colour while wearing a neutral eye look! :)
Deletehonestly, because I don't usually wear eyeliner, I hadn't considered using these on the lower lash line until your post, I am definitely trying it out now though! :) you'll see a review from me... eventually. I'll make sure to credit you though!
DeleteDefinitely try it out! I love adding a pop of colour to my lower lash line :) I wear glasses too, so I don't mind doing a more colourful eye behind the frames!
DeleteI usually go for darker, eggplant liners, but I'm really liking the bright purple look.. might just try this one out!
