Annabelle Cosmetics Haul/Swatches + Plea for help?

So I was fortunate enough to be able to go to a Shopper's Drugmart yesterday which I was super happy about because they had the new Annabelle "Hype" Collection out, YAY! I picked up one of the refillable magnetic compacts, which holds 4 shadows, I grabbed 5 of the individual shadows, I accidentally broke one of my other shadows from an older palette so I had a spare spot in that one so I decided to fill it (I had a hard time choosing which colors I wanted so that helped). I also picked up one of their blushes, it's not a new one, but it is quite pretty, and I didn't have anything like it yet. I don't have a lot of blushes actually, I always try to find new ones but I have a hard time justifying spending $30 on one blush that may or may not suit my skin tone. The shade I picked up was #18 Rosewood, I tried to swatch it for you but my camera couldn't pick it up :( BOO.I swatched the colors for you, they didn't show up as well as I had hoped, but you'll get the idea atleast. I did the swatches over concealer, which I don't usually use, but it was the only thing I had handy. The palette, the 5 shadows, and the blush was $29 and some cents including taxes (where I live we have 12% HST, yuck).

OH! I ALMOST FORGOT!!! MY PLEA FOR HELP! :
I entered the Annabelle Makeup Junkies Contest and would appreciate your votes!!

The colors (from top to bottom):
Lagoon
Fantasy
Rainforest
Ultraviolet
Tutu

I have to say I absolutely ADORE this collection! The colors are amazing, I can't wait to pick up the others that I don't have yet! The shadows are very pigments, and glide on smoothly. I can't wait to do a look with these... I had a very busy day and didn't bother with makeup at all, but I figured I'd atleast show you some swatches :)
