Meow Cosmetics: the cat's pajamas? (Part II)

     Hello, all! This is the second installment of my Meow Cosmetics reviews. They're taking a little longer than I planned... yeah, summer classes... joy. Plus, I've been going through a lot in my personal life... again, joy. But, blogging is still fun and I'm glad I get to do it. It's something I really enjoy doing for my "me time." After I finish my Meow posts I'll be doing a post on a blog award MnG gave me (I didn't forget, I swear!) I'm going to go ahead and start talking about the good stuff, now ;) 

From left to right: Illuminate, Flash, Spark, Glisten. 

Swatches are in the same order as the above. Top is without flash, bottom is with flash.

Firefly Blush

What they say:Ever so slightly moist and creamy to the touch, they glide over skin and leave a dewy glow of shimmery sunkissed color on your cheeks!

The stats:  A 20 gram jar costs $16.25 and a 10 gram jar is $9.25; sample baggies are $1. I can't really find any other info on these....

Pros: The colors are all really beautiful and stay in that "sun kissed" color category. They have quite a bit of shimmer in them and are great for accentuating the cheek bones. 

Cons: While I bet these look great on girls who can stay matte, they have too much glitter for my oily skin. 

Stars: 4/5

Would I buy again?: Unfortunately, no. 

Incatuation, Kiss and Tell, Wanton, Kitty Love, Tryst.

Swatches are in the same order as the above. Top is without flash, bottom is with flash.

Lush Blush

What they say: Saturated in vivid wet hues, moist and creamy to the touch, with an opaline sheen of glowing lustrous color.  One light sweep at the cheekbone is all you'll need to complete your look.  They are completely unlike any other blush we have ever offered.  Lush Blush provides a glowing flush of color to the cheeks with no sparkle to distract from their rich healthy glow, just an effortless dewy wash of pure color.

The stats: A 20 gram jar is $16.25, a 10 gram jar is $9.25; sample baggies are $1. The ingredients are Mica, Iron Oxides, and they "may contain" Titanium Dioxide & Carmine. 

Pros: These do offer a nice glow without being over the top. These are super- pigmented, so you only need a touch of powder. The sifter top really comes in handy on these when it comes to controlling the amount of product I get on my brush. 

Cons: Because the pigmentation is so strong and the loose powder format can be a little challenging, these might not be the best for first- time blush users. 

Stars: 4.5/5

Would I buy again?: Maybe. 

Saucy, Lust, Fetish, Racy, Dirty Talk, Risque, Exposure, Centerfold, Exhibitionist. 

Swatches are in the same order as the above. Top is without flash, bottom is with flash.

Taboo Blush

What they say: Luminous, lightweight, airy and ever so slightly kissed with unexpected iridescent glow! The Taboo blush palette is a bit  like peering  *through* a rainbow arching across the sky.  Neither sparkly nor matte, these soft and creamy colors will Formulated to be as light as the air itself and lightly kissed with mystical glowing radiance, these are taboos that everyone should have! 

The stats:  A 20 gram jar costs $15.25 and a 10 gram jar is $8.25; sample baggies are $1. The ingredients are Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, Tin Dioxide, & Iron Oxides.

Pros: All of the colors I have are just lovely. They are pigmented but not so much as to make them difficult to apply. The "iridescent glow" is extremely flattering to the cheeks without being too much or looking icky on oily skin. 

Cons: Ummm? I can't really think of any with these :) 

Stars: 5/5

Would I buy again?: Yes! I love these. 


     So, I hope this little review and the swatches were helpful :)
