Meow Holiday Ghosts of Xmas Past Swatches

Meow's Ghosts of Xmas Past seem to be made up of shades from '08 and years previous to '08.

Once again, no windowlight swatch because it's dark out :(

Patted over UDPP

And because it felt illegal somehow to not swatch the more intense shadows over pixie epoxy, that's what I did!!! LOOK AT THE AWESOME

BLURRY MESS! But ooooo sparkles....

And a jar shot of those 6 because jars show sparkles better than my damn arm >:[



Seeee, you totally were seeing red sparkles in Elf! And Midnight Kiss is crazy rainbow sparkly. It needs PE though and it HAS to be patted on, or you just get lots o black.

The only 2 shades I didn't grab f/s were Winter Coat and Santa Baby. I had bought these when I first found out about Meow, and wasn't sure if I'd get time to sample before buying and bought a crapton instead.
I think if I had swatched these beforehand I would have grabbed: Frostbite, Meow Mistletoe, Grinch, Elf, Ornament and Midnight Kiss. Possibly Fruitcake.
Vixen is cool for the red glitter but I stil can't figure out how to make white shadow on me look good. Cheers! is a little too sheer for me and Fancy Feline is a little tricky to work with. It kind of blotched out on me. Yep, making words up again...
Or not...

Meow Holiday Merry Mayhem Swatches

MERRY MAYHEM!

I can see someboddeh is looking for swatches of these from looking at my blog stats, so I'll make it easy for you :)

I think Merry Mayhem first appeared in '08. And they are back for their wintery comeback :)

Also since these were swatched in Canadian autumn, aka dead of winter at 7pm there is no windowlight shot of these dudes. I tried going into different rooms, and finding different lamps to try to get some more sparkle to pop out, but don't think I was very effective. Oh wells, what are ya gonna do? HANG ME?!

Well that's not very nice...

All swatched and patted over UDPP. I keep forgetting to mention that I do pat them on mostly. Swiping loses some sparkle/shimmer and I pat my eyeshadows on my lids, so it just makes sense that I would pat them on my arm.

Top row: Nice, Naughty, Jingle, Jangle, Ho Ho Ho
Bottom row: Star, Secret Santa, Ring a ling, Snow angel, Fa la la
Far right: Coal

Out of these, the only 3 I don't have f/s of are Naughty, Secret Santa and Ho ho ho.
And you can't tell from my pics but Jingle is an awesome red with green sparkles.
Star is a tad more mustardy gold than in the pics. Making it fanfreakintastic. I <3's it.

The Ice Blossoms and Misfits were just released today but I won't have time to order samples and then decide on jars for these (slow ass Canada Post) but I think I'll end up grabbing most of the Ice Blossoms and get 2 of the Misfits if a sale pops up and grab them with the other new stuff I plan on getting later also. SO MANY CHOICES! EEEEP!

And just cuz, here's a (stupidly heavy photoshopped) pic of me wearing Star, Snow angel, Party Crashers (12 Pains) and Nice. This was 2 years ago. I found a spiffy filter in my photoshop program and decided I liked it when my face looked like plastic. Nooooow, not so much...
Man I miss that red hair.
