Meow Cosmetics Cat Eyes swatches

Last week, I received a HUGE sample order from Meow Cosmetics - and they were worth every penny!! There were way too many to talk about on one post, so I thought I'd break them down into individual categories. This batch is the Cat Eyes eye shadow, which is their matte shadow. As you will see from the close-ups, they're not totally matte - which is awesome in my book. There is just the faintest hint of sparkle that is really only noticeable in the close-ups - but I think it keeps the shadows from looking too "flat". And please ignore my pasty white arm in the pictures! ;-)

Sex Object - rich, sultry taupe

Schizo - true khaki tan with a subtle rosy undertone

Hedonistic - true navy blue

Jynx - extremely dark gray

Mean - dark charcoal gray

Shadowcat - rich and velvety eggplant

Caffeine Buzz - espresso brown

I love the consistency of these shadows - and they last all day (I apply over a primer). As you can see, "Sex Object" and "Schizo" don't show up very well on my naturally pale skin - but with a sunless tan, they do. "Sex Object" is a little too cool-toned to work with my sunless tan though, so that one will probably go to Lulu. The other colors are fantastic - especially for doing smokey eyes!

As I've mentioned in the past, Meow Cosmetics' generous samples are only $1 each - their shipping is quick and reasonable - and they have frequent coupon codes. You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter - and they have their own Cat Chat Forum, too.
