Meow Cosmetics: Reindeer Swatches

Good evening all! Hope your day has been going well. :) I've had a really busy week at work and it's nice that we're getting close to the weekend. I still need to do my Christmas shopping and hopefully, start on some of the b-school application essays. I also need to make an order at Fyrinnae soon because I'm running dangerously low on Pixie Epoxy.

Enough rambling! Per the lovely Amy's (at Amyy's Addiction - seriously, check it out for some fantastic eotds/fotds) request, next up is Meow's Reindeer collection:









I think this collection is super fun. The colors are bright, happy, and definitely in line with their namesake and the holiday spirit. In the baggie, Rudolph looked like a darker fuchsia but it comes out a brilliant pretty red. Blitzen had some color shift action going on; I was seriously mesmerized. Comet has got to be my favorite of them all and I'm not even fond of greens!

What are your thoughts on this collection?

Meow Cosmetics: Glacial Grove Swatches

I busted out some hot pot tonight and man, I'm super full right now. I'm not quite sure what I should do with the remaining ingredients (we didn't finish it all) but at least I don't have to cook dinner tomorrow night. Work has been a little bit more stressful than usual. Budget season is here and it seems like my entire team is on edge.

I've got makeup to distract me from all that hullabaloo! :)

This collection is definitely a top favorite of mine. I love all the colors and I can definitely see myself purchasing some full-sizes of these babies. From Meow's Glacial Grove collection, here are the swatches:











I can't pick a favorite. I seriously love all these colors and can definitely see myself wearing them at some point or another. I also love how they compliment each other so well! The last picture of swatches I took was kind of a poor picture but I promise the colors do not disappoint.

The quality is smooth with very little flyaway. I'm absolutely digging Meow's holiday collections so far. What do you think?

Meow Cosmetics: Snowflakes Swatches

CUE BRAGGING - I got an inordinately fantastic score on my GMATs this time around. I passed the range for Georgetown and killed the range for George Washington. I wish there were more school choices to pick from in the DC area (closer to where I live at least) because I'm so happy that I got a score where I don't have to worry (as much) about getting into my top choice(s) for my MBA.

That being said, the only things I have to stress about now are applications - okay, it's a big thing to worry about. I will get around to it, I promise!

In the meantime, here are some pretty swatches from Meow's Snowflakes collection!









Meow's got the bluuuues. I love these colors! My favorites are Avalanche, Blizzard, Ice Storm, and Blustery. Honestly, they're all such fantastic colors. Much learn how to use blue! I am still stuck on mauves and taupes and neutrals (oh my!).

What colors do you like? :)

Meow Cosmetics: Christmas Trees Swatches

Hello all! So sorry for the lack of posts. I have been stressing over my exam a lot for the past few days so that's why I haven't been on blogger. I have tried commenting where I can though so at least that aspect hasn't been neglected. I got the first part of my Meow Christmas order. In it, I got the Holiday Wishes, 12 Pains, Christmas Rants, Glacial Grove, Snowflake, and Christmas Trees collections. There are definitely lots of swatches to come! First up...Christmas Trees!







I LOVE themed collections and this is no exception. My favorite is definitely Cypress. It's such a pretty color!

What other mineral makeup companies have come out with holiday-themed collections?

Various Aromaleigh Collections Swatches

I've been meaning to do these swatches for a while now but held off because I knew I wasn't going to have much to post until my next order came in. I should be studying right now but procrastination is the only thing on my mind.

As always, these swatches are done over Pixie Epoxy, in my kitchen, without flash. The light is bright enough in there that if I did take a picture with flash, it'd just be a big white blob. D:

Here's a bunch of swatches from various Aromaleigh collections:



Holiday (Vault): Butterscotch
Holiday (Vault): Gingerbread
Holiday Blast: High Heels



Valentine 2009: Sweet Nothings
Spring Solstice 2009: Mallow
Ciao Italia: Lampone (camera didn't pick up the pretty sparklies)



Hot In The City: Girl's Night Out
Hot In The City: Return to Tiffany's
Holiday Blast: Champagne Toast



L'Orchidee: Pixie Cup
L'Orchidee: Unicorn
L'Orchidee: Seed Pearl

I'm super in love with Pixie Cup. :)

Anyway, since I'm participating in Meow's 12 Days of Meow Giveaways, I've been purchasing something everyday now. This means to keep an eye out for their holiday collections swatches. I haven't received my orders yet but I'm super excited to swatch them because it looks like there are so many gorgeous colors this year. :D
