I went and snagged Santa Honey as soon as it was released because I knew it would be badass and after swatching the rest I think I would also like Tiffany, Sable, Yacht, Blank Check, and Kisses. Metallic-y goodness :)

Camera Woes

The camera I've used for 6 years is slowly dying. It no longer zooms in past the 4x zoom, and the lens retracting sounds so pathetic I wince when I hear it.

Y U DIE CAMERA?!

I love this thing :( It's just a Canon A540 that came out in 2006. It lets me zoom clearly and gives me awesome detailed pictures. Sure I need to take 20 to get some really good ones, but I do eventually get it.

Last summer I bought a Canon Elph SD1400 IS. The only good thing about this thing is it's pink. Okay and it has this neat "miniature" feature. But I no longer get detailed pictures. It doesn't matter how far I zoom and if I press the macro flower or not, it's just overflashed crap.

LOOK!

Good:




You can clearly see the sparkles in the liners, lower lashes nice and sharp


Then you get this crap




Unfocused lashes, too much light, blurry sparkles, Buttercupcake look freakin orange DAMMIT!
My skin tone in that top one is all wrong. It reminds me of an Andy Warhol painting.

So unless I figure this out, when my old camera finally craps out for good, I don't think I'll be posting anymore pictures. I really hate the way they turn out.

I'm probably just being too picky, but I think it really sucks when a 6 year old camera out-performs a newbie.

It's ballz I say.

My mom and brother own Rebels, maybe they can help me figure out the settings.
SO FRUSTRATING!!

I Smell Nice

I don't usually post about stuff I hauled because I don't really get the point except I'm totally going to do it today because I feel like shoving this company in your faces.

ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER

And the goods




And this is all the awesome that was in the little box



The vampire rubber duckie rocks my socks.

I ordered all the newest halloween scents minus Santa Muerte because it was sold out at the time but I ordered in in a more recent order.

I also ordered 4 bottles of oils (Calaveras, Solanum, This is Halloween, Burning Times), all of which I already had/ordered in solid form because

1. I love little bottles
2. Calaveras is one of the greatest scents ever and sure I have in in roller-ball form and solid form, but dropper form also? HELLZ YES I NEED IT.
3. I just felt like it OKAY!? Don't judge me. Eric duckie will eat you.

Also in the order was a jar of Black Magic. Becca made a jar option!! Which is excellent because I'm not too fond of the tubes. It was kind of solid and it was hard prying the last little bit out. Sure I could have just gotten another bar but...JARS DUDE! NEW STUFF! Can't say no to that. If she somehow made it into a spray I would have gotten it.

Oh man would that be hilarious to spray. It would look like a zombie spewing dead stuff on your face.

Probably

I'm not dead thing expert

But I should be

PERFUME TIME!

Calaveras is one of my uber favs but This is Halloween is right up there now in my top 5. I'll list 5 someday when I go through them but right now, my brain says these 2 are totally necessary.

This is Halloween is described as "The very essence of Halloween (for a 10 year old), captured in a bottle (or tube)! Candy Corn, Cinnamon Candies, Fruity Chews, a bite of chocolate, and Marshmallow Treats." To me the only way to explain it is BUCKET OF LIPSMACKERS. Seriously. I tried to find another way to explain it, but my head keeps thinking back to me being 12 again with my boatload of Lip Smackers.
Who would hate a smell that reminds them of a time when personal credit card debt, performance reviews, Glee and Bieber didn't exist?!?

Mirror Witch scent notes are described as "...Reverent gifts of Pomegranates, dried Figs, white Sage, candied Ginger, and a vision of White Musk." To me this smells like really good guy smell. I love it and I've worn it just as much as This is Halloween so far.

Bobbing for Apples is described as "...Fresh apples, Apple skin, Bonfire smoke, Hay bales, and Tonka beans." This reminds me so much of a shampoo I once used but can't remember. It smells SO CLEAN! If for some reason I couldn't bathe for a month, I could slam this on with Fresh Snow and people would be all like "well she looks like a filthy human but she smells clean so it must be a lie" and then I wipe my filthyness on them and run away. That's the correct action yes?

Hungry Ghost is described as "...Steaming-hot Green Tea, lively Lemongrass, and Cardamom, with Peppermint providing a wisp of otherworldly chill." I'm not too fond of this ghosty. I think it's the cardamom and lemongrass which is silly for me to pick out because that's half the scent list right there! But it was one of those "don't knock it til ya try it" afterall, who would have guessed cinnamon+orange equal olfactory heaven. You knew this already? Well whatevz.

Green Lady is described as "...Green Bartlett Pears, a basket of Figs, and an apparition of spectral Musk." This smells like green. Super fresh and green. See THIS is why I don't do perfume reviews. My explanations blow.

Burning Times is described as "...Vanilla, Clove,Patchouli, Pink Peppercorn, a hint of Suede, Red Musk, Sandalwood, Cinnamon, Cedarwood, and the smoldering Embers of a thousand years." This one is a very fall-like scent, deep and spicy, a little incense-y, a lottle awesome-y.

Sugar Skulls is a re-release (rerelease? repromote? ack who knows. werds R hard) from last year but I only had a little 5ml bottle of it that I won last year so I grabbed the solid so I wouldn't have to worry about using uo the little bottle. It is described as "...You'll smell sweet baked goods, vanilla cookies, anise, and roses- all the scents of a stroll through a Mexican neighborhood at that time of year." To me this badboy smells like sweet vanilla licorice. This scent is the lightest of the group on me. I kept catching whiffs of sweetness one day and it was bugging me that I couldn't figure out where it was coming from and then I remembered I smeared this on awhile earlier. Memory of champions right here folks.

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things is described as "Acorns, Oak, Vanilla, Apples, Roasted Spiced Pumpkin, a bit of Musk and a mound of freshly-dug Dirt." I smell a lot of apple in this one. I'm not too fond of this one because of the apple, yet I loved Bobbing for Apples, so I'm guessing it has to do with it reacting to another scent in that combination of scents. Maybe my brain doesn't like apple + dirt, which sucks, because dirt smell is fantastic. Reading that over I sounded sarcastic but I actually mean that, I love the smell of dirt. And dead leaves.

Final Girl is decribed as "...A crushed corsage of Magnolias and Carnations, the musky Cologne of a maniac, a whiff of oil from a freshly-sharpened Chainsaw blade, and the paralyzing scent of fear." A total chick scent because of the heavy florals. It's soft and girly and makes me think of a lace covered vanity with little trinkets and powder jars all over the place.

Solanum is described as "...Rotting pumpkin, Apple cores, Raspberry, Almond, Madagascar Vanilla, Cardamom, and a hint of Immortelle because zombies never die." The bottle of this has a little zombie on it. SO COOL! This one smells like spicy apples to me, kind of like pie! If zombies smelled like this YOU would be the one biting them.

Calaveras is described as "The bestest damn smell on the planet"
Yeah so I made that up, but that's what it could be. It's described as "Named for the sugar skulls which adorn the Day of the Dead altars, this
fragrance is sweet and spicy. Cinnamon, sugar, orange, and sweetened breads dressed up with a smattering of dried roses on a sandalwood altar."

I've talked about this one before and it's still pretty magical. I think I referred to it having a bug spray-type smell (the one where you spray the room and close the doors to kill everything) but in a TOTALLY GOOD WAY! Otherwise I wouldn't have it in 4 different containers! (Roller-ball, solid, dropper bottle, 5ml bottle) The cinnamon orange combo is strange because you can't really pick out either cinnamon or orange. Combined they turn into a whole different wonderful scent. I have a cinnamon orange shower gel that does the same thing. If you haven't tried it yet, JUST FREAKIN DO IT. If Becca made this into a lotion, shower gel, salad dressing, I would so buy it.

Oh Fudge Lip Butter I looooove how creamy this is. My lips were doing that crappy peely chapped thing where it felt like your own lips were cutting each other when rubbed together so this stuff came to the rescue just in time!


And now it's 1:30am, I guess I should sleep sometime eh? I'LL SLEEP WHEN SOLANUM INFECTS ME. Cuz I'm dead. Get it? heh heh hehhhhhhh.....

Meow Holiday Holiday Wishes Swatches

And now for my favourite holiday collection from Meow Cosmetics, Holiday Wishes!

I'm not even a neutrals gal but after swatching these last year I fell in makeup love. These shades are exactly what I think of when I picture a holiday makeup collection. Warm, cozy shades. Perfect for glamming up Christmas parties. The only eyeshadow I didn't grab a f/s jar of in this collection was Mirth, the pewter one. My shopping cart was massive and I felt I could survive without Mirth.

Swatched and patted over UDPP

Beauuuuutiful :)

Meow Holiday Sugarplums Swatches

I've only swatched the eyeshadows from Meow's Sugarplums collection because I'm not very good at blush swatches. And Ballerina is super light, it would be more of a finishing powder with my skin tone. If you're picking up the shadows, it doesn't hurt to try samples of the blush while you're there. You can grab all 5 in a purple gift bag if you get them this way. You can even buy the whole full size collection using the option on the bottom of their page and save 10%.

Just 2 pics for ya patted over UDPP

R-L: Fairy, Nutcracker, Vison



Windowlight
R-L: Fairy, Nutcracker, Vison


Very pretty purples but purples look like I have black eyes, so I didn't get any f/s from this collection. If I felt I could pull them off I would snag Fairy.

Meow Holiday Reindeer Swatches

Meow Cosmetics Reindeer collection is made up of 9 shades named after those famous 9 antlered dudes driving Santa's sleigh.

The funny thing with this collection is I felt bad if I had just bought 1 deer and not his pal with it, like Dasher & Dancer, Prancer & Vixen etc. So it was great marketing for people who share my mindset :D

The only deer I didn't pick up was Rudolph. And he's THE MOST FAMOUS REINDEER OF ALL! But yeah, just a baggy for him. I have oodles of red and bought so many shades last year I skipped on Rudolph. That took willpower! Without Rudolph it's an incomplete collection!

Get my crazy pills.

Meow Holiday Ghosts of Xmas Past Swatches

Meow's Ghosts of Xmas Past seem to be made up of shades from '08 and years previous to '08.

Once again, no windowlight swatch because it's dark out :(

Patted over UDPP


Top row: Vixen, Frostbite, Fancy Feline, Meow Mistletoe, Elf, Ornament
Bottom row: Cheers!, Winter Coat, Santa Baby, Grinch, Fruitcake, Midnight Kiss





Top row: Vixen, Frostbite, Fancy Feline, Meow Mistletoe, Elf, Ornament

Top row: Vixen, Frostbite, Fancy Feline, Meow Mistletoe, Elf, Ornament
Bottom row: Cheers!, Winter Coat, Santa Baby, Grinch, Fruitcake, Midnight Kiss




And because it felt illegal somehow to not swatch the more intense shadows over pixie epoxy, that's what I did!!! LOOK AT THE AWESOME


Top row: Frostbite, Meow Mistletoe, Midnight Kiss
Bottom Row: Grinch Elf, Fruitcake





Top row: Frostbite, Meow Mistletoe, Midnight Kiss
Bottom Row: Grinch Elf, Fruitcake




BLURRY MESS! But ooooo sparkles....

Top row: Frostbite, Meow Mistletoe, Midnight Kiss
Bottom Row: Grinch Elf, Fruitcake




And a jar shot of those 6 because jars show sparkles better than my damn arm >:[



Seeee, you totally were seeing red sparkles in Elf! And Midnight Kiss is crazy rainbow sparkly. It needs PE though and it HAS to be patted on, or you just get lots o black.

The only 2 shades I didn't grab f/s were Winter Coat and Santa Baby. I had bought these when I first found out about Meow, and wasn't sure if I'd get time to sample before buying and bought a crapton instead.
I think if I had swatched these beforehand I would have grabbed: Frostbite, Meow Mistletoe, Grinch, Elf, Ornament and Midnight Kiss. Possibly Fruitcake.
Vixen is cool for the red glitter but I stil can't figure out how to make white shadow on me look good. Cheers! is a little too sheer for me and Fancy Feline is a little tricky to work with. It kind of blotched out on me. Yep, making words up again...
Or not...

Meow Holiday Merry Mayhem Swatches

MERRY MAYHEM!

I can see someboddeh is looking for swatches of these from looking at my blog stats, so I'll make it easy for you :)

I think Merry Mayhem first appeared in '08. And they are back for their wintery comeback :)

Also since these were swatched in Canadian autumn, aka dead of winter at 7pm there is no windowlight shot of these dudes. I tried going into different rooms, and finding different lamps to try to get some more sparkle to pop out, but don't think I was very effective. Oh wells, what are ya gonna do? HANG ME?!

Well that's not very nice...

All swatched and patted over UDPP. I keep forgetting to mention that I do pat them on mostly. Swiping loses some sparkle/shimmer and I pat my eyeshadows on my lids, so it just makes sense that I would pat them on my arm.

Top row: Nice, Naughty, Jingle, Jangle, Ho Ho Ho
Bottom row: Star, Secret Santa, Ring a ling, Snow angel, Fa la la
Far right: Coal

And a funky half focused pic to see the shimmery goodness on those last few shades. NIFTY!
Top row: Nice, Naughty, Jingle, Jangle, Ho Ho Ho
Bottom row: Star, Secret Santa, Ring a ling, Snow angel, Fa la la
Far right: Coal




Out of these, the only 3 I don't have f/s of are Naughty, Secret Santa and Ho ho ho.
And you can't tell from my pics but Jingle is an awesome red with green sparkles.
Star is a tad more mustardy gold than in the pics. Making it fanfreakintastic. I <3's it.

The Ice Blossoms and Misfits were just released today but I won't have time to order samples and then decide on jars for these (slow ass Canada Post) but I think I'll end up grabbing most of the Ice Blossoms and get 2 of the Misfits if a sale pops up and grab them with the other new stuff I plan on getting later also. SO MANY CHOICES! EEEEP!

And just cuz, here's a (stupidly heavy photoshopped) pic of me wearing Star, Snow angel, Party Crashers (12 Pains) and Nice. This was 2 years ago. I found a spiffy filter in my photoshop program and decided I liked it when my face looked like plastic. Nooooow, not so much...
Man I miss that red hair.

Meow Holiday 12 Pains of Xmas Swatches

errr 11 pains apparently, I only found 11 of the eyeshadows in my stash. The missing shade is Lights Out. I'm guessing that's because it's a navy blue.

Me and navy blue aren't friends.

Meow Cosmetics 12 Pains of Xmas was released in 2009 I believe, and every December since. I LOVE re-releases!!! It gives me an excuse to swatch this older stuff for you :)

All swatched over UDPP

Top row: Dirty Snow, Tree Fire,Batteries Not Included, Hangover, Cat in Tree
Bottom Row: Yellow Snow, Party Crashers, Debt, In-Laws, Black Friday
Far Right: Burnt Turkey

Windowlight!

Top row: Dirty Snow, Tree Fire,Batteries Not Included, Hangover, Cat in Tree
Bottom Row: Yellow Snow, Party Crashers, Debt, In-Laws, Black Friday
Far Right: Burnt Turkey




2009 Was when I first ordered from Meow, not knowing they made the collections available again so I had ordered jars of stuff I thought I'd like not ordering samples before hand. Now I know to order samples (they always seem to know exactly when I want to order because a sale will be going on at that moment!) and then there's usually enough time for me to get them, swatch them and decide on jars. Before December ends, there's usually one last sale and that's my chance to go nuts :)

The colours I have are Dirty Snow, Yellow Snow, Tree Fire, Party Crashers, Hangover, In-Laws and Burnt Turkey.

If I had gotten samples beforehand I may have skipped Dirty Snow and In-laws. Maybe. In-laws has tiny blue sparkles that I love so forget what I just said. IN-LAWS STAYS. Otherwise I am happy with my other choices! Tree Fire is pretty cute for an orange!

Meow Holiday Xmas Rant Swatches

So it only took me a year but I swatched all the Xmas Rant shadows for you!! Wheee!! Go me :)

All swatched over UDPP


Top Row: Eggnogg, Calories, Greed, Bah Humbug, Pine Needles, Some Assembly Required, Bustle
Bottom Row: Traffic, Noise, Hustle, Grab Bag, Commercialism, Office Party, Drunken Relatives

The ones I broke down and bought are: Eggnog, Greed, Traffic, Noise, Hustle, Commercialism, Office Party, and Drunken Relatives.

Yellow Snow

I made it through Black Friday without spending a dime. I was so proud of me!

Then got pissed off at something and had to buy stuff and what better time to buy stuff when it's like 25% off?!? So I broke down and made 3 little orders.

2 Labyrinth lippies from Hi Fi, 4 perfumes from OHWTO
aaaahhhh much better. Thank you shopping. You make me happy.

The look I'm posting today I did last Saturday. I didn't mean for it to turn out so yellow, but it looked pretty cool. I wanna throw Buttercupcake on everything. Even my sandwiches.

Especially my sandwiches.

I used:

UDPP
Lid/Crease: Meow Tetrodotoxin minus smack dab in the middle
Lid Centre: Meow Debauchery
Crease/Lower liner: Sugarpill Buttercupcake
Lower liner: MAC Black Line
Browbone: Burberry Trench
Liner: Physicians Formula gel liner






Frig I really hate my eyebrows. When I think I got every annoying hair, I look at the pictures and swear vehemently. I'm theeeeeeese close to just ripping them all out. But there are 5 days a week I can barely be assed to slap on foundation, mascara and blush, let alone damn eyebrows.

*~:.NOTE TO COMPANIES CONTACTING ME.:~*

I've posted this to the side, but I figure it deserves a post because I'm tired of all the spam I've been getting recently. Some people don't mind free shit when all they have to do is post about it, but I do because that's not what this blog is about. I'm not a walking billboard (most of the time :D ) I've only accepted from 2 companies (both makeup related) and I'm sure they're quite annoyed I haven't blogged about them enough because I only blog when I feel like it and only use the products when I feel like it. If I don't feel like talking about something, meh. Not gonna force myself. When you have to force yourself to do something you don't feel like doing, there's no more fun in it, and then I'd rather read a book. (119 now!)

THE MESSAGE:

Hi! If you are a company emailing me to offer me anything other than makeup for blog exposure I will not respond. My only interests are makeup (mostly indie) and reading. I don't want your bras (trust me, you don't have my size) I don't want your diet advice, etc. This is my personal space, I do EOTD's and swatches, and the random rant. That's it. I post what I feel like. I'm not turning it into something different. If you haven't seen a post on my blog offering what you're offering, chances are, I don't want it.
Thanks for understanding.



And now a picture because every post needs a picture! My broken Sleek palette of which they STILL haven't responded to me. Even when they GAVE me an email address of their associate. THANKS FOR NOTHING SLEEK.






LIES....

Meow Crop Circle & Abductee 2011

Itty bitty swatch post.

BUT FIRST! If you haven't done so yet, check out the Hunger Games trailer!!!!

HOLY.CRAP. I can't wait until March dammit!

Back to makeup...

This year Meow added "Crop Circle" and a new "Abductee" shade to their Alien Abduction Halloween line.

I'm a total dork and when I saw the email saying sale I grabbed everything I wanted in jar form (yay for already swatching!) and skipped the part in the email mentioning the 2 new/kind of hidden shades. Luckily I was able to add them to my order and I'm so glad I did!

Crop Circle reminds me very much of Urban Decay's Baked shade which is my favourite UD shade EVARRR. I swatched them side by side and Crop Circle is a bit darker and just as pretty. <3 it!

Abductee 2011 is a really pretty taupe shade and it photographs like effing MAGIC! To my eyeballs in this dark livingroom light I didn't see the shimmer this intense, but the flash on my camera popped it out. I didn't even have to blur the picture to make it visible, but I included a blurry pic anyways. Just cuz :)
I think this shade photographs better than any other shade I own. How can you see this and NOT WANT IT? You don't want it? CRAZY PERSON.
Oh that's just me :)

Abductee 2011 is very different than last year's Abductee. Abductee 2010 was a dark purple shimmer with silver sparks.

PICTURE TIME!


Crop Circle, Abductee 2011


UD Baked, Crop Circle


Abductee 2011, Abductee 2010


Abductee 2011. So can I snort it?


The jar!

Since Halloween is over, you'll be SOL getting these dudes for awhile. Last years' Abductee didn't make a comeback, so this years may not show up next year. So I guess this post sort of turned into a Pink Sith "Taupes you can't have" kind of post :D

Persephone All Hallow's Eve

I know I know, It's the middle of freakin November and I'm just swatching a Halloween collection now.

That's how I roll.

The collection is Persephone Minerals All Hallow's Eve and it contains 6 shades:

Pumpkin Head, Dead Ringer, Graveside Manner
Spirit Realm, Devil Doll, Cemetery Dirt







I believe Spirit Realm is now permanent.

Dead Ringer has pink sparkles that didn't show up on camera and Graveside Manner has green sparkles also refusing to show up on camera. If I could chose favourites, Dead Ringer, Graveside Manner, Pumpkin Head and Spirit Realm win kitteh approval.
