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

BLURRY WINDOW LIGHT!



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 have to go picture frame shopping but all I wanna do is read a book. I hit 100 books!! 100 since mid April, I'm so hooked. 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?

MAC Lightscapade

At first I was all YAY LIGHTSCAPADE FINALLY! I've been seeing this MSF all over the interwebz and was so upset I missed out on this colourful beast.

I walked to my MAC store in the mall to check out their newest releases and to pick up Blue Candy when LO AND BEHOLD! LIGHTSCAPADE WAS THERE! The tester looked so pretty and I know I'm too dark to pull it off but knowing how many people go rabid for this, I felt like I'd be breaking some makeup rule to just walk on by and ignore it's prettiness.

I believe I got the first one in the store because none of the plastic wrap was taken off the stack in the cupboard but 1st doesn't mean the best because at first glance, it looked like crap.

I pulled it out of the bag when I got home and could have cried. I paid $33.50 for a rainbow in a pot and got:





PALE PALE EFFING SWEARWORDS PALE!

I honestly thought someone ran their finger through it, blending the shades together and ruining the initial veining when I remembered she opened a new pack for me right in front of me.

But all hope was not lost, just because it wasn't as asthetically pleasing as it's past interweb friends' pics, it wasn't a total loss.

LOOK!



O-kay so not the greatest swatch on the planet.

It's even more pretty in real life, but with the crap blur shot you see the multishimmer. Make it huge. You'll see! You'll all see!! :D

So I've forgiven it for not being pretty, I'm trying to think of it as being already blended in the pot. That makes my initial upset simmer down. Preblended Lightscapade. Yeah, that's what I think....

Meow Halloween 2011

Meow Cosmetics has just released their Halloween collections so that means the return of past awesome collections and the introduction of THREE NEW ONES!!

WHEEE!!

As well as another new one released a weekish ago. Yeah, I add "ish" to words to make them make sense to me...

NEW STUFF!!

1st off "X"




Then there is the Zombie Apocalypse



Then the Four Horsemen



And the collection the released just recently, Pandora's Box



I think in the end it's 41 new shades, 1 glow powder and 1 blush. I could go back and count again. Could. But won't! LOTS! That's all you need to know. :D

For the past Halloween collections here are my favourites from each collection:

Alien Abduction: Radiation Glow Powder. THIS STUFF ROCKS! Wear it on top your blush and you get a pretty nifty sweet greenish glow. It comes in a 10gr jar so you can get your blush brush right on in there.

Dance of Death: Asylum (intense sparkly teal), Cadaver (GREEN OF SPOOKY AWESOME), Spellbinding (one of the prettiest, rainbow sparkliest hilights I own) and the best for last, out of like EVERYTHANG COFFIN EYELINER!
COFFIN COFFIN COFFIN. Just get a sample if you're not sure, but I promise you IT'S THE GREATEST, BEST LOOSE EYELINER ON THE PLANET. And if you don't think so, well. I'll just have to send my rabid penguins after you.

Friday the 13th: Spell (one of the few blues that don't look hooker-blue on me thanks to that awesome greeny sheen on top), Accident (looks innocent in the pot but goes on dark with crazy red action happening)

Halloween Zombies: Skelecat (I really can't say no to anything with that green sheen...), Full Moon (I think I have 2 or 3 of these now. Iridescenty goodness)

And there are also their Frightening Foundations and Indelible Paints pages. I never do anything for Halloween that includes getting mah face on, so I have nothing from these pages, so no personal experience gooders to point out. Hah. Gooders.

Here are a few swatches I did last year on some of the older collections. I may do some more depending on how my weekend is gonna roll.


SO MUCH GOOD STUFF! I love this time of the year! SECOND WHEEE(!!!) OF THE POST!
