Shades of Meow Volume 3 Swatches

More swatches!  Here is the latest Meow Cosmetics  limited editon collection, Shades of Meow Vol: 3.

My battery was dying and I didn't know where the charger was so only closeups of my favourites, including one applied wet!  I don't usually try them wet because I'm too lazy to do that in my EOTD's but I knew there would be some crazy shimmer action if I did so.

All of these were swiped on top of TFSI and as always, click the pics to make them bigger for more detail!

 BDSM again cuz that's how I roll :D

 I LOVE THIS ONE, Swinger.  Such a pretty teal.  I wannit.  I WANNNNAAAATTTT

 Threesome closeup and below it's the same shade applied with a wet brush.  WOAH DUDES.

I want: Swinger, Threesome, BDSM, Hot Wax and maybe Lascivious.  I have a billion greens already so I might leave that one behind.

NOTD ~ Vintage Green Sparkle

I make a pretty lousy nail blogger.  My nails curl, my cuticles are usually pretty beat up, I seem to always have one snapping off at the worst spot ever, and I can't figure out the proper camera settings to show it how I see it in real life. Also I don't really clean up stray polish because by that time, my face is already in a book or the dudeman just popped in X-Files and then I just don't care enough to finish.  But this combo needs to be shown!  Even with my lousy nail picture taking skills!

A England She Walks in Beauty is my current favourite top coat polish. I saw that a few months ago Sephora had a dupe called Ice Princess.  I wish I snagged it, A England polishes are kind of a bitch to get.  It's this lovely rose gold/greenish shimmer with light pink hex glitter in 2 sizes, if my eyeballs are working correctly.

And I'm always on the hunt for minty coloured polish and Rainbow Honey delivered!  Mint Flavor.  How I heart thee.

Here is my vintage type look. I say vintage because this reminded me of those super complicated looking nails where the person paints them teal/mint and paints roses on them to look like old wallpaper.  Only I'm far too lazy for that!

*note: ring finger actually has a different polish, I didn't like it and went with SWIB instead)

 Clooooseup

Femme Fatale's Veil of the Siren on the ring finger.  It's lovely but it looked more mermaidy than the vintage-type colour I was going for.

Yellow and Pink EOTD

I wasn't sure how this combo was going to turn out.  I knew I wanted pink and yellow but for the liner it was a choice between green or blue.  Green eventually won out but I'm not really impressed with it.
The liner is Lime Crime Citreuse and it's a nice bright green shade in the tube but seems to go on more yellow than green and then it dries to a hard chunky pain in the ass to work with formula.  The black liner I used on top kind of skipped on over parts.  Grrr.

Aaaaanyways, for this look I used:
TFSI Lemon Drop primer
Sugarpill Buttercupcake inner half of lid
Sugarpill Dollipop for outer half of lid
Urban Decay Tease in crease
Rimmel Spring Flower blush (the light pink shade in the compact) for the transition shade into the browbone
Burberry Trench on browbone
Shiro Cosmetics Tears of Retail Employees (disc.) inner corners
LC Citreuse with UD liquid liner on top.

Golden EOTD with Meow Summer Shades

It's almost summer time!  I pulled out some Meow shades that I bought last year and used 2 from the Castaway collection and 2 from the Joys of Summer collection.  They haven't re-released Castaway yet, but they'll probably be available again soon.  I'm super excited to see what their new Stripped colours are going to look like. I've been wearing more neutrals lately, they're just easier to not screw up. Although I managed to screw up today's look anyway. Stripped is supposed to be some lurvely nudes.  Noice!


I used over TFSI Lemon Drop:
Inner lid: Brazillian (Joys of Summer)
Middle lid: Bahia Solano (Castaway)
Outer lid: Siesta Key (Castaway)
Crease: Flaming Marshmallows (Joys of Summer)
Browbone: Burberry Trench
UD 24/7 liquid liner with Annabelle black liner below.
UD Honey is used in the screwed up pics at the bottom, UD Midnight Cowboy liner in the first 3 "fixed" ones (lower liner...inner part...madness... etc)

 Crap tastic liner idea, should have skipped Honey and used a pale shade instead.

Kat Von D Ladybird EOTD

I just went back home for a week and usually 1 tax means BUY ALL TEH THINGS!!!
But amazingly all the makeup I bought was the newest Kat Von D palette, Ladybird.  I've never bought any of the palettes before even though Memento Mori tempted me hardcore, but I walked away. And then it was gone and I was all NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOooooooo.
BLAH BLAH BLAH
I bought this one though because of all the pretty mattes and the red shade Cleopatra.  There is only one good shot of the look I did because my lighting was balls and I had my mom's lens on my camera which made the beast weigh more than usual for my cruddy always sore wrist I never bothered to get looked at.  Awkward shot is awkward. 

I used TFSI Lemon Drop to prime and the palette in the following order:

1. I put Harlow on the lid *edit - that didn't look right, I think I used the one to the left of 1 "Unrequited". Meh, doesn't matter because step 5... :D
2. Fur Elise went in the crease
3. Cleopatra was blended into and above Fur Elise
4. Wolf was patted in the outer corner and crease to darken a bit more
5. Vespertine was patted all over the lid on top of Harlow (or Unrequited...), I wanted a better contrast. It was also used on the browbone.
Upper eyeliner was Immortal Love, it came with the set, it's also smeared below, waterline is UD Honey and lower inner liner is UD Midnight Cowboy.

Well you better be because I'm shoving them all up in yo face. With luuuuuv.

RIGHT DOWN TO BUSINESS

All patted over UDPP as usual, in 50 billion types of lighting as usual, and click the pics to bigify...AS USUAL.  You knew I was going there. Don't deny it.
No more just chocolate for lunch.  I TURN DUMBER.

 I wanted to see some over Pixie Epoxy.
Clockwise from the upper left: Blindfold, X-rated, Whip, Sensuous.
 X-rated does not like to be foiled.  It's the pretty blue on the bottom left of the whole collection pictures. Foiled it turns into a dark greenish shade.

 X-rated just over UDPP

 Blindfold in it's awesome shining glory

Heat

 Intimate

 Lust

 Rendezvous

 Role-play

 Sensuous

 Whip

The closeup I took of Caged didn't turn out but I'm pretty happy with the rest of them!    I was giggling to myself when I was naming the pictures.  Most of the time I just call the closeup pictures "name closeup".
 "Intimate closeup" and "X-rated closeup" are probably going to bring some questionable blog hits....  :D

If you checkout Meow's Facebook page you'll probably find a coupon.

The one's I think I'm going to get are Blindfold, Sensuous, X-rated, Whip and maaaaybe Heat.

Neutral Fyrinnae EOTD

Even though I have an embarassing amount of makeup, I haven't been doing a very good job of wearing it.  Most days my makeup is just: concealer, foundation, fnishing powder, eyeliner, mascara, blush.  Which still sounds like a lot but when you have literally hundreds of eyeshadows and don't wear any, ya kiiiinda start to feel bad.

I went out to dinner last night and actually had some time to play with eyeshadow so I used some of the new Fyrinnae shades I picked up.

Everything over TFSI Lemon Drop
Inner lid: Book of the Dead
Lid main: Velveteen Werewolf (HOLY BALLS I wish I grabbed a F/S of this one instead of a mini)
Crease: Automatic Toaster
Browbone: just some shimmery shade from a company looong gone
Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 liquid liner in Perversion
Waterline: UD Honey eyeliner (managed to track it down on ebay!)
Lips were Shiro's This is Halloween

 And my whole stupid head.

 

And FINALLY my foundation matches better.  I was wearing MAC NC25 but it wasn't quite right and as the day went on it would do this stupid separating thing. It didn't matter if I used a setting powder or spray, it still separated.  And because it didn't match my colouring just right it was really obvious close up. 

But I got matched to Makeup Forever N120 and so far so good.  I've been using it for a week and it matches better in colour and it doesn't separate.  I do wish it had a bit better coverage though.  You can kind of see the old acne marks in the photo above and that's with using concealer also.

Oh well, at least my face looks human :)

And for shits & giggles look at the beauty that is the mighty PTERANODON!

The P is silent. Like in "pterodactyl" and if you don't know what a pterodactyl is, I don't know you.
