Annabelle Eyeshadow Quad and Retractable Eyeliners: Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.
Hi everyone, happy Monday! Today I am reviewing three lovely eye makeup products from Annabelle Cosmetics, a Canadian makeup brand based in Montreal. I actually bought quite a few items from Annabelle when I was back in high school, I still have those two cute jars of loose pigments in my stash.
To be honest, I haven't experimented much with drugstore shadows and liners for quite a few years now so I was quite shocked by how incredibly pigmented and high quality the Annabelle Eyeshadow Quad ($8.95) and Retractable Eyeliners ($7.95) are!
To see swatches and an eye look I did with them, click......
