Brow Beaters

I was trying to swatch some bronzers and blush for you guys but I'm so freakin bad at it and going though my samples I found the brow beaters from Meow, so I'll swatch those instead!
These are eyebrow powders that you can use to fill in your eyebrows.

 Raw is really cool, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but the flash on my camera told me otherwise.  There is a hint of green in there, you can barely tell.  I think it's more to give the colour dimension than to actually be noticeable. I really liked it.
My 3 favourites would have to be the browns: Ready for Action, Nudist and Raw, but I also love Disrobed, Stark, Buck Naked and Leafless.  The only colour that did not play well was Explicit (grey on the far right bottom in group shot).  I used a primer but it still tried to go on patchy.  I'll have to try it in a look to see how it wears, but on my arm, not so good.

THE FEELS

Hello again,
I have a brand spankin' new collection to show off for you.  They were sent to me about a month ago but there was a death in my family so I spent most of the last month way across the country hanging out with my parents.  Luckily I was already laid off.  That sounds really bad but when you need to hop on a plane and leave everything behind for a few weeks, it was nice to be able to leave and not have to let work down. Because they already let me down... BUUUUUURN.  SELF BURN hahaha.  Oh well.  That's life.  Getting laid off is probably the best thing to have happen because now I can go do something shiny and new and move back home, which I missed the most.  I hated not being able to go see my mom and dad.  I even missed my brothers.  Little bro's gal is having a baby and I was so afraid I was going to miss everything with him or her being born this November. Now I get to see it all!  But now I have bursts of happy thinking about going back, with bursts of not so good thinking about what led up to it (losing that job security) and all I missed out on (dad's 60th, grandparent's 50th coming to Canada anniversary, friend's babies, cousin's weddings, seeing my brother all healthy back in May if I had just gone that day instead of being tired the day before flying back here), plus thinking about who's next, another brother? My parents? My turn?  How morbid eh?  I'll be in the middle of reading a book and start to freak out.  I haven't left this apartment since I got back Tuesday night.  Wake up in the morning just to go back to sleep again until noon.  Just don't feel like doing anything.  It was easier when I was back home, but now that I'm back here for 5 more weeks with nobody around and the dudeman at work, I can't shut my brain up. Not really appropriate makeup blog talk but whatever.  I'm back in Manitoba away from everyone again so I have to get it all out somewhere :(
The new collection I'll show off in a separate post so I don't scare people off just looking for swatches and instead getting a freakin' life story.

End of Days EOTD

More pictures from my major delete-a-thon!  I found this EOTD in my Christmas folder.  I remember most of what I used.  All the colours were from Meow Cosmetic's limited edition End of Days collection that came out last Autumn.

I used over TFSI:

Lid: Winter Solstice
Crease: Armageddon
Browbone: Prophecy
Lower lashliner: Armageddon on the outside, Prophecy on the inside.
Can't recall what that black liner was.

Wicked bad lighting
