Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

I ordered a bunch of samples from Meow Cosmetics new Joys of Summer collection plus a couple of other samples, and for once I had some time to do swatches of my new pretties!

Here are the Joys of Summer samples (click picture below for bigger version):

Row 1 L-R: Iced Watermelon (blush), Endless Nights, Lazy Days, Heat Wave, Lime In The Coconut, Skee Ball
Row 2 L-R: Cricket Serenade, Sea Glass, Oasis, A/C, Azure Sky, Cannonball

I also ordered a couple of samples from the Rainforest collection; Canopy and Endangered.

The free samples are from the new Summer Spirits collection, I recieved Sex On The Beach and Spiked!

So, let’s move on to the swatches. The first photo of each swatch is in the shade, and the second one in the sun.

Aren’t these pretty? I’m mostly weak for the blue/green shades like Oasis, Azure Sky and Sea Glass, but I also really like Lime In The Coconut and Endless Nights.

Edit: I forgot to mention that that I applied a little of Too Faced Shadow Insurance to my hand before I did the swatches.

Egg Hunting with Meow Cosmetics

Monday, April 9th, 2012

I just saw that today is the last day for the egg hunt at Meow Cosmetics. There are a few different coupon codes available if you can find the hidden eggs, so start hunting! There are more info in their newsletter.

I recommend trying out their mineral foundations and eyeshadows, I love Meow’s stuff!

Eerie Asylum – A Quick (non)Halloween Look

Monday, October 31st, 2011

I really love Halloween, and had some big plans for doing a fun look, but that didn’t go too well. I had zero inspiration, so to at least do something I picked a few shades from Meow Cosmetics Dance of Death collection. I hardly ever use dark sparkly shades like these, but my, are they gorgeous! I didn’t do such a good job with it though, I’m not used to using Pixie Epoxy  so I think I made a bit of a mess so I couldn’t blend all properly. Ah well, I think it looks cool at a distance =)

Products used
Too Faced – Shadow Insurance
Fyrinnae – Pixie Epoxy on the lids as a sticky base
Meow Cosmetics – Asylum all over lid, except inner corners
Meow Cosmetics – Eerie in outer v and in crease
Meow Cosmetics – Spellbinding on browbone and inner corners, and blended into Asylum
Lumene – Blueberry Curl Mascara on upper and lower lashes
Viva La Diva – Mix & Match Eyebrow Color, medium brown shade used to lightly fill in eyebrows
Urban Decay – 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Lust along outer half of lower lashline (with Eerie on top)
Urban Decay – 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Zero along upper lash line
Rimmel – Soft Kohl eyeliner in Pure White lightly applied on waterline

Happy Halloween!

Evil Eyed Goblin

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

I felt like doing a dark look, and pulled out some of Meow’s Halloween collections. I’ve mainly used pigments from the Halloween Zombies collection, but also Dance of Death and Friday the 13th. When it comes to the colors I’ve used plum shades on the lids, and a dark green/teal in the crease.

Here’s what I’ve used:
Urban Decay – Primer Potion
Nyx – Jumbo Eye Pencil Black Bean smudged on lid
Meow – Goblin (Zombies) on entire lid except outer third
Meow – Evil Eye (Zombies) on outer third of the lid
Meow – Zombie (Zombies) in the crease and along lower lash line
Meow – Spellbinding (Dance of Death) as highlight on the brow bone
Meow – Broken Mirror (Friday the 13th) on top of Zombie in the crease to blend out, and in the inner corner of my eye
Nyx – Jumbo Eye Pencil Cottage Cheese in the inner corner of my eye
Urban Decay – 24/7 Eye liner in Zero on upper lash line
Isadora – Inliner kajal in Blonde on lower water line
Lancome – Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara

Photos are taken with flash. I hope you like it!

I love Halloween so I’ll try to do some more looks this month, and hopefully a little more interesting than this one.
