Meow Cosmetics Friday the 13th

Ok so obviously this post is a long time coming since the last Friday the 13th was in May. This special LE collection is only available on...well you guessed it Friday the 13th. According to the Meow website the next time this collection will be available is January 13th, 2012.

This collection was probably one of the most difficult collection to describe and photograph. The colors of this set are so incredibly complex and multi-dimensional that quite honestly you have to see them for yourself to really see the true colors.

Trepidation - Metallic coppery orange

Unlucky - Metallic burgundy with pink shift

Broken Mirror - Medium gray with aqua sparkle

Spell - Medium cornflower blue with aqua shift. This one is super pretty!

Cursed - Light sage green with pink shift

Fate - Deep ocean blue with aqua shift

Misfortune - Metallic green/blue with gold shift. I think this one is my favorite of this collection. Really a gorgeous color.

Skeptic - Periwinkle blue with pink/copper shift. This one has a very pretty coppery pink shift that the camera actually picked up quite well.

Bad Luck - Reddish bronze with coppery shift


Supernatural - Metallic antique gold


Paranormal - Black based dark green with gold shift. I am loving this black based color!

13 - Light shimmery brown


Accident - Metallic deep wine red with copper shift


Parakeviakatriaphobia - Pastel iridescent aqua with green shift. This was an extremely difficult shade to photograph and unfortunately it never shows up quite right.

This really is a gorgeous collection and definitely worth picking up next time they are available. =)

Meow Cosmetics Simple Pleasures

Here is the second part of the Meow Cosmetics Pleasures Collection. So far I've really loved all the colors in both the Guilty and Simple Pleasures and when it comes out again (probably next year) I will definitely snag the rest of the colors. The Simple Pleasures collection consists of softer, more muted colors than the Guilty Pleasures collection and for those that like more neutral colors this is the collection for you! All of them are satin finish low shimmer shadows with no glitter. Enjoy!

Cuddles - shimmery medium aqua


Barefoot - soft shimmery baby pink


Rainy Days - silvered cornflower blue. This one looks really similar to the color of dress my bridesmaids wore for my wedding. =) The picture shows it more purple than it actually is in real life.

Making Love - beautiful taupe with hints of lavender and pink. This one is a hard color to describe but it's absolutely gorgeous!


Silence - gorgeous bright aquamarine. Reminds me of the color of the ocean in Cancun. Much brighter in person than in the picture.


Chick Flicks - medium bubble gum pink

Meow Cosmetics Guilty Pleasures Collections

I really cannot resist Meow Cosmetics especially when they have a sale AND a limited edition/limited time only collection. I'm actually a bit newer to the Meow Cosmetics line of eye shadows but after having purchased their Friday the 13th collection (yes yes I haven't swatched them or even opened them yet...bad blogger), I was totally hooked. If I could I would have ordered the entire collections of both the Guilty and Simple Pleasures but unfortunately my wallet couldn't afford it so I ordered  shades from each collection.

The Guilty Pleasures Collection consists mostly of vivid/rich jewel toned shades that are absolutely gorgeous! There were actually a couple other shades I also wanted to snag but I resigned myself to just 6 for the time being. Maybe next year I can get the rest of them... ;)

E-shopping - violet with a silvery sheen

Those Heels - bold burgundy red shimmer


Retail Therapy - very vivid teal with gold shimmer

One Night Stand - deep dark blue with a slight gold sheen


Midnight Feast - rich dark eggplant purple with a blue base and a slight rose sheen


Sick Days - light periwinkle blue with an aqua sheen

Don't ask me to pick a favorite out of these because I love them all. =) All these shadows are silky smooth and very blendable. The only one that caused me a bit of trouble was Midnight Feast. The blue base does separate from the main color which did make it harder to get an even swatch but it wasn't terrible. Overall I love this collection! Simple Pleasures coming soon!
