Meow Cosmetics Halloween 2011 Four Horsemen Swatches

Are you getting sick of me yet?

MORE SWATCHES!

To be fair, this one was easy, 4 shades!

This is Meow's Four Horsemen collection. To me they look more Christmassy and I'm not sure I want any of these in jar form. Maybe Death. Maaaaaybe. Violence looks very close to Malevolence from Pandora's Box. To me it looks like Violence is more maroon and Malevolence is more red. In the pictures you can't really tell. I don't think you'd need both though.

TOP 2: Famine, Death
BOTTOM 2: Violence, Pestilence

Swatchfest Meow Halloween 2011 COMPLETE! WOOHOO!!!

Meow Cosmetics Fall 2011 Pandora's Box Swatches

My tube of primer is getting good use this weekend!

I've swatched Meow's Pandora's Box collection. They came out right before the Halloween releases. From the online swatches they looked too dark for me but I did still manage to find a bunch I wanted after swatching them.

What got me super excited about this collection is I had just finished reading the Lords of the Underworld books before this collection got released and the story is about these immortal warriors who were pissed off that Pandora (a WOMAN OH NOES AND SUCH!)was chosen to guard the box, so they opened it and as punishment for letting the demons out, they were forced to house one of the demons as they got caught. You try living with the demon of Lies and everything you spoke was a lie or else you would feel extreme pain! Actually I liked his demon the best.

So yeah, seeing a Pandora's Box collection, NICE! Not the same demons as the books, just a wicked awesome coinkydink.
hah. I said coinkydink

Meow Cosmetics Halloween 2011 X Swatches

Going through my last post I realized blogger changed something so when you click on pictures you can't click them again to make them even bigger which sucks ass because I've been saving my pictures as huge, using my picture space to do so, all for nuthin' :(

dammit

CURSE YOU WITH A WAMPUS RAT!

I have some more swatches for you, this time from Meow's X Collection

I was so proud of me for getting my swatches so nice and straight with eachother but then realized I was slowly crawling up my arm, so my nice straight swatches start to curve downwards. Whooops

Out of this collection I think I have my heart set on 6 of the 13

All these were swatched over UDPP

1ST ROW: Yeti, Mothman, Nessie, Snipe, Hidebehind, Chupacabra

2ND ROW: Boogie Man, Jersey Devil, Wampus Rat, Sasquatch, Wendigo, Kraken

FAR RIGHT: Grim Reaper

The 6 I really want are Yeti, Boogie Man, Mothman, Wampus Rat, Sasquatch, and Grim Reaper.

So that makes my total 16 jars so far putting me in the poorhouse, and I haven't swatched Pandora's Box or the Four Horsemen yet lol. This should be good.

Meow Halloween 2011 Zombie Apocalyspe Swatches

SWATCH TYM!

Are you ready for a bunch of pictures that look the same but aren't!?

I KNOW I AM!

:)

I ordered samples from the newest Meow Cosmetics Halloween collection "Zombie Apocalypse" and 'tis time to swatch them. It's really my only way to decide what I want full jars of. In the bags samples mostly always look like crap, you don't get to see the sparkle much swatchified HOLY SNIZITS I might as well just have my work send my money to them without hitting my bank account first. I thought I'd only want 5 or 6 of these but after swatches I think there are only 3 I could do without. CRAP CRAP CRAP.

I swatched these over UDPP

1ST ROW: Undead, Brains Over Beauty, Living Dead, Reincarnation, Post Apocalyptic, Head shot

2ND ROW: Datura, Sepulcher, Quarantine, Rising, Tetrodotoxin, Infection

FAR RIGHT: Post Mortem

From looking at the bags I thought I was going to pass on Head Shot and Post Mortem but nooooope. Too pretty to pass up, Post Mortem was more crazy sparkly than I thought it was going to be. Rising actually has a crazy pink sheen going on with it but my pictures don't show it much. The 3 I'll skip are Reincarnation, Post Apocalyptic and Quarantine. I didn't find those 2 greens to be unique enough and I have a load of dark greens already. I'm skipping the pink just cuz I'm not a huge pink shadow fan. Well this shade of pink anyway. I don't know, medium pink? Whatever, kitteh does not want.


Zombie Unicorns however... Kitteh wants muchly.

Cirque du Awesome

Hi!

I'm pretty bummed out right now. I broke my favourite toy.



LOOK AT THAT CRAP!

I'm not usually hard on my stuff, actual books I don't bend spines, have clean hands, no food around them, but I swear the Kindle is a floor magnet. I drop it all the time by accident or it'll slip off my lap.

My very 2nd day of having this thing, I was in the bus stop, my phone rang and I didn't know if you answer the phone the iPod stops so I was rushing to unplug the headphones and I knocked the Kindle off my lap onto the dirty ass bus shelter concrete. DAY 2! It popped open in a few places and got a lovely scratch on the side.

But that's not how I did this mess. NUH UH.

I was leaving for work and shoved 2 cans of pop into my backpack, stuck the Kindle in one of the front pockets and set it on the counter, and went to see if there was anything else in the fridge worth munching and then BAMMMO. The cans weighed the bag down right off the EFFING COUNTER, landing right on the screen. It just wouldn't unfreeze. At first I could see the bottom bit of the screen but as I tried to fix it (ahem slap it around a lil) it got worse and worse and now I can't tell if it's on or not.

RIP lil dude. We had a good 6 months and 101.5.5.5 books (teehee half finished books :)

I ordered another one, the new tiny one because it was cheaper and if I decide to slam it on bus shelter floors or throw cans on it again, might as well go cheap-ish.

Now that I've got you good and bored, ON TO MAKEUP!

I LOVE the green in this look here and I dug around to see if I had something similar and found my Meow Carnival collection. Cirque du Meow looked close so I teamed it up with Freakshow and a-la-ga-zam. I also loved this look here by Rachel so I decided that's how I wanted to wear it.

In the end my look looks like complete shite next to those 2 and my camera blurred 2 of the pictures hahaha, I WIN! At sucking that is.

I used: UDPP
Lid: NYX Milk for base
Inner half of lid: Cirque du Meow
Outer half of lid: Freakshow
Crease: A-la-ga-zam
Browbone: Dr. ZhicCATo
Liner: Sugarpill Poison Plum
Waterline: Bourjois Metalise Bleu Clinquant









Now I gotta put my Netflix account to good use with my toy broken because I HAS A BOREDOM. Reading a novel off the laptop blows dude. Not literally of course.
Uhhhhh
wut?

I even pre-ordered 2 books that don't even come out until January and February :D And that's what's new with me. I lead an exciting life...

Oh Sleek, You Anger Me Greatly

So long ago if you remember I had my "do not want Sleek Makeup because they totally screwed up when trying to do a customer appreciation sale" phase (I linked Ana cuz she does rants like a pro and has more info).

Then I decided to give them a chance and placed a big order. It was packaged nicely and everything came intact.

Fast-forward to now and I'm not very pleased anymore.

I'm trying to cut back on all the crap I buy so I decided I wanted two inexpensive palettes from Sleek Makeup. They came out with a Nude Collection and the PPQ Me, Myself and Eye palettes and I thought, "Oh goody! They're only $10.50!" I even asked my dude if I could order them, which I never do because if he says no I'm still going to buy stuff anyways, but I thought I'd be nice and make him feel included on my decision making :D

Shipping was $13.50, which sounds high but it was coming from overseas so I'm not going to complain about that.

What I am going to complain about is CRAPPY EFFING PACKAGE MARKING!

When you ship products to another country, the value of the package
IS THE FUCKING PRODUCT THE PERSON BUYS.

NOT THE SHIPPING!

SHIPPING IS NOT A VALUE!

CAN I MAKE THIS ANYMORE CLEAR?!??!??

So lucky me, Sleek marks my package as having a value of $34.50 USD.

Uhhhh no.

Fuck that. 2 palettes = $21 kthx





So why does this piss me off? Because the lovely customs people just LOVE grabbing packages and thanks to the price screw up I ended up paying TAXES ON SHIPPING! And of course good ol currency conversion is in action here also (which is why you see $35.67 not $34.50 on customs page)



According to Canada Post, orders over $20 can get held on to for taxing. My order would have been $21 had it been marked correct, over the threshhold by a buck, but I doubt they would have been that douchetastic to still tax my package for a dollar overrage. Who knows. What I do know is I'm pissed for paying tax on shipping! Growl.

In the end these cheap $10.50 palettes ended up costing me $25 EACH!

But the extra ooey gooey buttercream icing on the rantcake is they sent the palettes in a bubble mailer instead of a box like last time so...

VOILA!


BUSTED EYESHADOW!




I love spending $50 when I'm trying to save money, only to receive damaged goods...

I've emailed Sleek Friday telling them why I was upset and have still not heard anything back from them.

Sometimes I tend to overreact (ORLY!?) so let me know, would you be pissed off too?
Or should I go rob a Lindor factory and shove truffles down my throat (HAPPY PILLS!) to calm my bitter ass down?
