I bought these and the other Zoya matte shades as they were being discontinued. I had avoided matte polishes before, because I didn't see the huge appeal and because reports that the matte polishes were more fragile and shouldn't really have a top coat…tended to put me off. I...
I’m not entirely sure, but I think these might have been part of Meow’s original lineup. I can remember seeing them on the site in late 2008 when I first started looking at Meow; but the company had already been around for a few years at that point. These...
The holiday kits from 2011 just did not pique my interest. I picked up many of the color-pieces much much later. The one eyeshadow isn’t my favorite, but Plush is attractive, as is the blush. The lip gloss (a gloss, dang, not full-color) is an attractive, fairly unique shade for...
This is supposed to be a taupe…but I read it as right on the edge of a faded dusty lilac. There's a very faint shimmer - VERY faint - not too obvious. This (and the rest of the Spring 2012 line, actually) had fairly neutral finishes, not quite a matte...
For something called “olive”...this isn't too olive. It's more like “lime-peel green”, which (to me, at least) lacks the brown/grey undertones to make a green “olive”. Then again, this is another color brought to you by a company that names a bright magenta-pink called “Sunny Day” and a...
Very pale yellow that nonetheless has a fairly good pigmentation level. The color's just extremely soft! This isn't one of my all-time favorites, but I also suspect that once I find the right way to use it, I'll get a lot of mileage out of this. (Maybe use this as...
When I first tried Crystal, I was excited for the color but less than perfectly thrilled with the coverage. Zoya seems to have tweaked the formula for their microglitters a bit so that they provide better coverage! FeiFei and Daul both had fewer bald spots, and better color depth, than...
Daul is a vampy version of Zoya's Faye: a medium-deep violet with golden-bronze contrasting shift. Zoya seems to have added a little something to the formula to improve it, as I only needed three coats of Daul to get complete opacity (where Faye really looked best with four coats.) This...
