Hello Cotton
Wow! Thats a LOT of mail!! I hope you can swatch the Meow colors…I've been waiting to find swatches before I order!
Hope you feel better soon!
I've been wanting to get my hands on the new meow cosmetics holiday eyeshadows. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
Wow! That is a lot of stuff! I haven't ordered my Morgana Mineral's collections yet. I'm waiting on the new lipsticks to be added to the site before I order…since one of them is a colour I requested. I feel I must buy it in the full size.
I haven't tried Meow Cosmetics and some how I feel like I'm missing out…
Hi Lisa Kate,
Yes it is!
I'll be trying to do the Meow very soon.
Hi Ewe,
I'm looking forward to playing with the metallics
Hi Blix,
My Christmas and Pirate order came all at once :> What color did you request?
I have some of Meow's Merry Mayhem colors from last year and love them!
I'd love to see swatches.
Wow, that's a ton! I love when I get my orders in the mail, I get so excited, like it's Christmas.
Wow! So many things! *-*
I want swaaatcheees! hihi!
Hope you get better! ^^
Hi Lt,
Me too
Hi Heather,
I know what you mean!
Hi Cacau,
I will swatch as soon as I have some more energy.
Thanks for the well wishes!
I received my Meow order the other day. I didn't pick up every LE color, but I'm pretty happy with my choices.
I have to say, I am pretty impressed with their service and such, and to be honest, I wouldn't have ordered if not for your blogging about them. I had looked at their site once and moved on, but I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering from them again in the future.
Hi Shattered,
I tried their foundation and loved. I tried their eye shadows was like, they're ok. Then when I tried newest collections (starting from the Fall 2008) I was impressed. I've only gotten more impressed with their eye shadows.
Lol, you should let them know that in the comments sometime! I'm glad you like what you've ordered!
How fun! I wish I would get packages like that. I love Meow's foundation too, I tried it because of you. I do love some of their shadows, the blues are gorgeous!
Phyrra, I totally agree with you about Meow's e/s. I wasn't impressed with their e/s from their older collection, but the newer collection has really impressed me!
That is the mother load!!!
Hi Lyndsey,
I'm glad that you love it
Hi LT,
Yep exactly
Hi Krista,
Hehe, yep!
Woah! What great things to get all at once! I got my very first Morgana's sample order today. I ordered a sample of almost all of the lipsticks (medusa is such a wicked green!) and I ordered samples of the halloween collection and just random colours I thought were pretty (glowing pearl, calypso, elven! and others
I can't wait to get my Meow sample order now! It should be here soon.
What a haul,Phyrra!I especially appreciate that you blog these as soon as you get them. I didn't know about the new Meow Glacial Grove,and I want samples! Thanks!
LUCKY, eye candies! I purchased few aromaleigh samples and some meows which I'm still waiting to be shipped. I actually take some liking to en pointe collection, which i never got before thinking the colors are repetitive in my stash. Well, I was wrong; the colors are somewhere between matte and pearl and real pretty.. Well, Happy holidays to you, Phyrra!
Glad you got your Meow order. I ordered some of the same colors, and just today got my shipping notice. Can't wait to get my hot little mitts on them!
The lipstick colour I requested from Morgana was the Glittering Poinsettia (dark red with gold sparkles). I thought it would be great for the holidays.
The lipsticks are up now but no pictures yet.
Hi Axs,
Yes, is nice. Now I just need to be able to swatch them all!
Hi Starlight,
I posted about the Glacial Grove when I wrote about all the christmas collections coming out from meow, maybe you missed it?
Thanks
Hi Julia,
Yes, the en pointe collection is FANTASTIC!
Happy Holidays to you as well
Hi Apriltini,
I am hoping that I have time to swatch after work today.
Hi Blix,
Aww, I can't wait to see them up. I think the orange is one I requested.
Lots of fun stuff! I'm awaiting a sample order from Morgana, an order from Meow, an order from Aromaleigh, and an order from BPAL right now.:D(I know, I'm so bad)
Hi Laura,
What all did you get?
What are you getting from BPAL?
I ordered the Lunacy scent that was out at the beginning of the month for January's moon. I ordered a bunch of samples from the makeup places of their latest collections.:) Oh, and I ordered some foundation from Meow.
Hi Laura,
Sounds fabulous!!!
Wow! You`ve received lots of mails. Now you`ve got great new stuff to try different looks.
Hi Gabriela,
I have been having fun
