When Meow Cosmetics launched their Firefly Collection, I knew I just had to get my hands on them. Lucky me, a friend was taking orders for the Fourth of July sale. So I hoarded samples of foundation, eye colors, feliners, blushes and bronzers. As in I literally hoarded. Three weeks after, I received my package and was swept away. The little baggies that came brought so much joy in them. I never, ever had like thirty-one samples! And unto this day, most of them are still untouched, waiting to be tried and tested.

Finally, I had the time to see for myself what the “puss” was all about. I swatched the blushes on my inner arm, and the bronzers on the back of my hand. Here they are:

The Glow From Within – Meow Firefly Collection

I was home on a Saturday night. Must have been the headache induced by my statistics class earlier in the day that made me just want to have some quality time with myself. And what better way to nurse a headache than to play with mineral makeup!

So I cleaned my face and did the usual routine, sans sunblock (it was already 8pm that time). It was also a good opportunity to test the sample of Coastalscents foundation in Honey light tan. I wasn’t expecting it to be a match, but it was! It blended well with my skin despite the fact that I just had a major breakout, thanks to my upcoming monthly period. And let me tell you, Coastalscents foundation is by far the most finely milled I have ever used! Just by looking at the pot, there is no chunkiness or clumps of minerals.

Back to my eye look, I was thinking of something pinkish to go with Valerie Beauty MPM’s in Wink and Karma. I then reached for Meow Scandal Eyes in Tenacious, described as “Peach w/golden bronze shimmer.” It’s one of my fave lid colors as it complements neutrals, even greens! Using my eye shadow brush, I applied it on my whole lid.

Our new contributor Joyce has been raving about Meow ever since she got her hands in it. Here’s a review of Meow Minerals, according to her.

I recently tried Meow Cosmetics, and I must say, it IS NOW my Holy Grail foundation. I had a previous Holy Grail foundation, but when I tried MEOW, I knew it was my new HG.

I tried 3 formulas, namely Purrfect Puss, Pampered Puss, and Flawless Feline.

To describe the three formulas of Meow Minerals,

Purrfect Puss: The website says that, “Purrr-fect Puss foundation is our original sheer, matte, layerable-coverage mineral foundation utilizing the latest light refraction pigments for a youthful dewy appearance”

Meow Cosmetics Firefly Collection

When I’ve visited Aileen’s site a few days ago, I was instantly smitten with her look for the day. Safe, neutral shades were used to fill her lid, and crease ( we both love Bare Escentuals Glimmer in Summer, and highly adore Bare Escentuals Glimmer in Queen Tiffany ), and what a way to finish her look by applying eyeliner in Meow Feliner in Sweaty Paws!

In my opinion, it just instantly drawn all the attention to the eyes, making it look all bright, awake, and pretty! I loved the look so much that I decided to replicate the look for my Friday night movie with friends. Friday nights aren’t too gimick-y nights so bold eye makeup isn’t needed, but I was wearing a black blouse, and I needed something to spice up my look.
