Meow Cosmetics order, p.2

And the swatches continue!  This post wraps up the eyeshadow/blush/powders/concealer samples I got.  I'm in love, guys.  Now I know why on the Meow website they say "limit two samples per color"- I bet when people find a shade they like and don't want to dish out $10 for a full size, they buy multiple samples.  Which is probably what I'll be doing in the future...

Light Persian Skinny Dipper (contour powder), Shattered Equinox collection Deranged eyeshadow, LushBlush Hugs & Kitties
I really wanted to try one of Meow's "Skinny Dippers", their contouring powders, because I think the idea is really cool.  They coordinate with your shade of foundation so you get the right shade.  I haven't worn their foundation so I wasn't sure what color to get, but I definitely should have gotten the medium Skinny Dipper shade (I figured 'light' would be too light for contouring).  Light Persian might work for an allover powder, but I think it might even be too light, although I plan to work with it.  
Deranged is from the Shattered Equinox eyeshadow collection, and it's just awesome.  I love how it glows in the light.  
LushBlush is described as having a "creamy texture and dewy sheen" so I had to try one!  Hugs & Kitties is a really pale pink with lilac undertones that works as a highlighter on me. 

Crystalline Cat Glow powder, Top Cat finishing powder, Under eye concealer in 2 Frisky Persian

The Crystalline Cat Glow powder has really, really fine shimmer that is hard to detect when swatched or applied (and it didn't show up in my pictures!).   I haven't used this on my face yet, but I'm interested to see if it provides a "glow" at all.
The Top Cat finishing powder is supposed to help with oil control.  I haven't tried this one, either, but my quest to find a super-flattering finishing powder is always on!
The under eye concealer was kind of a shot in the dark in terms of color, but fortunately 2-Frisky Persian suits me!  It's a powder concealer that actually really helps conceal mild dark circles.  I used this today and really like it so far.

Swatch-tastic!
 Kept Kitty eyeshadow, I love you!
