Meow's big “unique thing” is its incredibly wide array of foundations: 81 shades, 3 coverage levels. All with coordinating concealers! They even have a “conversion” / reference chart for BE foundations, which I think is amazingly helpful. Meow also sells eyeshadows, eyeliners, brow powders, brushes, color correctors, glow powders, body powders, blushers, highlighters,...
Happy April everyone!! We've passed the first day of spring (with a supermoon, even!), and are into cherry blossom season in some parts of the country. (Not quite my area yet, though. It's still a little too chilly. Hopefully I'll see the pretty pink and white blossoms in a week...
Yeah…remember when I said that none of the Zoya colors from their summer 2011 collections interested me? I kind of caved on that. During their BOGO promotion I decided to get Breezi, because I don’t really have many medium-blue nail colors (they’re all navy or variants thereof.) And...
The brush in this kit is, in my opinion, one of the better ones available from BE. This and the soft focus eyeshadow and eyeliner brushes are my most-often-used brushes for applying eyeshadow. The eyeliner is not yet part of the “standard” line, and isn’t available for individual purchase....
This week has not gone too bad...but it hasn't been too good, either. I'm really hoping that the weather gets spring-like soon, because I could use more daily walks - which only happen when it's not freezing and / or pouring rain. (Drizzling's okay. Pouring...not so much.)
This is another good polish from the Xtreme Wear line. Two coats for opaque, even coverage…but some visible brushstrokes. So it's good, but not amazing. I prefer Zoya's <a href=”/such/obsessive/addictions/zoyas_freja/”>Freja</a>, which lasts longer and is the same color and finish....
Most of the polishes had their corresponding number in the Wicked collection…but Kelly doesn't seem to be one of them. Edyta could have been the complement to either Kelly or Shawn, but the base color seems to match up better with Shawn. Kind of a pity, as a foil-glitter...
Definitely a cooler mauve. This color is a slightly redder version of Revlon Colorburst in Lilac, and while it's a bit similar to BE's Buxom San Francisco, it's a little darker. The only drawback to this, in my eyes, is that it doesn't have much staying power and has to...
A truly lovely deep maroon. And like all the other dark Shiro colors I've purchased, it gives me excellent color payoff. This is slightly similar to Bare Escentuals' Hello Kitty / Simply Naturals' Gypsy, but with a pearl rather than shimmer finish.
