Available since January 2016, the  Annabelle Big Show Lacquers bring a sense of vibrancy to the winter months!

The Big Show Lacquers have:

• High-impact staining pigments
• Mirror-like shine and lightweight colour
• Non-sticky
• Comfortable and non-drying, stay-put finish
• Fruity scent

The doefoot applicator is standard fare for products like this. It deposits colour evenly all over the lip, but you will need to dip in a few times to completely cover your lips.

Although there are six shades in the range, they do veer quite bright. The colour payoff in each one is quite opaque, so you’re definitely getting a mouthful of colour!

Here’s the full range as a lip swatch followed by a full face shot:

Adore Simply is a peachy-nude.

Caress Tenderly is a strong coral (this is my FAVOURITE shade of coral. )

Kiss Sweetly is a bright neon pink.

Enchant Romantically is a dark, vibrant pink.

Hypnotize Deeply is a fuchsia-berry. (My application skills were starting to get pretty dodgy by this point!)

Love Fiercely is the red of the collection (I see a little bit of pink in it too!).

Final Thoughts

The Annabelle Big Show Lacquers are smooth, comfortable to wear formula. I found the pigmentation was stellar across the board (none of these colours were patchy at all!) and the vibrancy of the shades is pretty dang fantastic. Since they’re a lacquer, they will stay fairly emollient on your lips. I found I had to reapply every 90 minutes or so to keep the glossiness at full peak. You could wear them for longer without reapplication, but I just liked to keep my lips looks as great as they did when I first applied it.

I didn’t use a primer or lip liner with these, so I did experience minimal lip line bleed out. (That’s not make it or break it for me in this formula though, I have that problem with any lip product without some kind of primer.) If you’re going for a glossy, comfortable to wear lip product, you absolutely cannot go wrong with these!

The products featured in this post were sent to me for consideration.
