Annabelle Cosmetics (Amazon Trio + Hydropolis Collection)

Annabelle Cosmetics (Amazon Trio + Hydropolis Collection)

Annabelle Cosmetics is a brand that is found in Canada. The products that I've tried from this brand are the eyeshadow trio in Amazon & the Kohl eyeliner in Black. The eyeliner comes off very easily & it's staying power isn't good. When applied on the waterline, it comes off in 5 minutes or so. I haven't had much luck with the eyeshadow trio either. The colours (especially the green) look nice, but they aren't pigmneted at all, which was a bit disappointing. I have some swatches below & a size comparison to a MAC eyeshadow & a penny as well.

If you think the colours hardly show up, let me tell you that I swatched generously.

My mum has a few of their lip liners & she likes them. Even though I haven't had a great experience with this brand, I have to say that I haven't tried any other products by them.

Recently I was walking through the cosmetics aisle & usually I would continue walking while passing this brand, but something caught my eye. It was a new display with the brand's Summer 2009 collection called Hydropolis. The 2 eyeshadows that were on display were Aquatech & Amber Wave & I was immediately attracted toward Aquatech because I love greens & blues. They're perfect for the season too.

What do you think of the eyeshadow colours? Which one do you like the best from the pic & are most likely to buy?
