Meow Cosmetics goodies: Lost Rainforest and Caribbean Escape
Today I received my pretty pretty toys I ordered from Meow Cosmetics. I got ten eye colors from their two limited-edition collections that are supposed to be retiring Real Soon Now - but they're still up, and people can still order from them (I know. I just did, because I found that I missed ordering a dupe of one color. Dingy me.) I have one other order still coming from them, because I went back a second time during the sale and picked up one of their blushes; but today I received:
- Amazon — deep forest green with gold iridescence
- Bromeliad — bright coral with multicolored iridescence
- Expedition — golden brown with golden iridescence
- Iaru — blue with blue iridescence
- Spider Monkey — bronze golden brown with gold iridescence
- Tribal — muted amethyst with gold iridescence
- Barbados — warm soft lilac pearl
- Blood Orange — true orange pearl
- Stingray — muted steel blue/purple pearl
- Uncharted — smoky beige taupe pearl
Still to come are Atlantis (burnished gold with copper pearl) and Canna (iridescent pink sheen - blush), along with three fullsized (for real) IdealEyes pearl shadows from Meow's regular line. Initially I didn't order from these collections for two reasons: I was still on the leaner side financially (hurray for additional jobs); and I was a bit miffed at the price jump: instead of $11 for a nice full 10-gram sifter jar, they were charging $8 for a 5-gram sifter jar. I finally caved for two reasons, aside from the "they're going away soon" bit: I'd gotten a second and third (part time) job and had been stockpiling the savings; and Meow had a sale. I'm hoping that some of these colors make it into the regular lineup, because I might like to try a few more later. I didn't try them all, but initially I'm really liking Iaru and Stingray.
In honor of receiving this batch of goodies, I painted my nails with OPI's Mermaid to Order. They've only got one coat on them so far, but I'm liking the color! I'll wear this to PAX tomorrow while passing out the web hosting business cards.
