Recently I stumbled upon Scaredy Cat Cosmetics on etsy. I was drawn in by the adorable label and what appeared to be cute packaging. I purchased two colors, Peacock Blood and Keltoi.
They arrived nicely packed in a box.
They also came with a lovely thank you card.
The shadows were $5 each and shipping was only $2.50, which I felt was a good price. The shadows come in an odd triangular shaped jar that the listing on Etsy says is a 3 gram jar that can hold 1.5 to 2 grams of product.
Each eye shadow color has its own custom design on the jar. I found both designs to be beautiful for the colors I chose.
Each color has the ingredients listed individually, as some shadows are vegan and other colors are not. They are all cruelty free.
The color descriptions are as follows:
Peacock Blood – A sultry burgundy wine with a smooth luxurious jewel-like quality. Sure to satisfy even the vainest of hearts.
Keltoi – A metallic green-gold pigment with bold smooth coverage. Reminiscent of the beautiful patina found on antique bronze treasures . (Vegan)
Keltoi is pretty and has a very smooth texture. Peacock Blood is really gorgeous, and again has a beautiful, smooth texture. I really like Peacock Blood.
Love Stinks – A soft velvety coral pink that will sweep you off your feet. Love Stinks is a VEGAN pink with no carmine.
It has a skunk for the image. (Vegan)
Chakra – Shocking and bold, this violet will send you to seventh heaven. Deep violet-blue with lots of blue sparks.
This has more of an abstract design. (Vegan)
Muertos – Dark and smokey and full of soul, Muertos is a sultry gun-metal grey that is simply to die for. (Vegan)
The packaging on this one is gorgeous! It’s got sugar skulls and crossbones.
Teal Deer – A mild gentle greenish blue, shifted more to the blue with subtle sparks. Soft, but like its namesake, goes a long way. (Vegan)
This one has a really cute little retro deer design.
Hirundo – What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? A deep coral red with a light golden sheen.
This one has a cool bird design.
Caged Canary – Why does the Caged Canary sing? You would too if you looked this damn sexy. A pure vibrant yellow with a pale golden sheen. (Vegan)
This is another one with an abstract design.
Nevermore – A deep blue-black with flecks of blue sparkle and light. It’s like wearing the star filled midnight sky. (Vegan)
This one is, of course, adorned with a gorgeous raven.
Smooze – A vibrant vicious violet that will ride you hard and put you away wet. A must have for every little pony.
This one has a violet abstract design.
Cirrina – Bright copper kettles? Hardly (though it may become one of your favorite things). A warm chunky copper with subtle pink undertones. (Vegan)
I love the adorable cephalopod on this package.
Unicorn Breath – Etherial, silvery and soft, Unicorn Breath is a sheer pigment perfect for highlighting. (Vegan)
This one has a very cute unicorn on the package.
Don’t Be Koi – A warm autumnal metallic infused with lots of sparkles. All that glitters may not be gold, but this pigment is rich enough for the bluest blood. (Vegan)
This one has a gorgeous koi fish on it.
Caledonia – A rich mossy forest green with subtle shimmer. Enchanting, mysterious, and alluring; like being deep in a magical glade. (Vegan)
This is another with an abstract design.
Would I buy from again?
Yes. I love the adorable, unique packaging. The colors I tried seemed well made and reasonably priced. Shipping was definitely reasonable. I’d be interested in trying Muertos and Nevermore, and I want Unicorn Breath and Teal Deer for the packaging.
What do you think of Scaredy Cat Cosmetics? Have you given them a try?

Hello Cotton
gah!!! Those ARE adorable!! I want!
I think the packaging is so cute! And I love how each one seems to have a lot of thought put into it!
Oooh keltoi looks like a reasonable dupe for aromaleigh’s heartleaf. Do you have heartleaf for a comparison swatch? It’s my fav aromaleigh color, I bought some backups but eventually I will need to find a new goldy-greeny love.
I had Heartleaf at one point but I’m not sure where it’s at. I think that Heartleaf is more green.
ooooooOOOoooo. I see some peacock blood in my future.
Yeah I love the color and the packaging!
These are adorable! And what beautiful colors to boot! I gotta snag a few of these myself after the holidays!
Thanks for sharing! 
You’re quite welcome Jaycee!
I am a total sucker for cute packaging, and the pics on the Etsy listings are great – I love that they show the colors on a model too. Oh boy. Another company to buy from … ^.^
I think they really did a nice job with their photography and I just LOVE the design on the bottles.
Oh man, I can see buying these just for the packaging alone! These look fantastic.
I HAD to have the Peacock for the packaging
That is some seriously cute packaging. I am such a conspicuous consumer I know I am going to end up buying them all just to get the bottles.
They really are lovely
Such gorgeous little jars – is it bad that I want all of them just for the jars?!
Not at all!
O_O Wow, those are the oddest jars I’ve ever seen in mineral makeup! How unique.
Darcey recently shared..fotd- teal waters
The only thing close that I can think of is the Meow Vandal Eyes, but it’s a different shape, too.
I haven’t seen these before, but I must check them out (crazy cat lover here). I especially want Muertos for the awesome package design!

Yeah it is so gorgeous!
Me and a friend are planning on posting a collaborative review on this company. We have varied experiences with the company and the products. I wasn’t crazy about them…
Aww, well I’m looking forward to reading your review, regardless!
So…CUTE! I can’t resist the cuteness!
Lena recently shared..pretty-serious- @-High-Voltage- Ill try to get my regular family doctor to fit me in if I dont feel better in a few days Shouldve just done that first
I do like the cuteness
Gah! This is one of those companies I’ll probably end up buying stuff from just because of the packaging. Curious to see more reviews (and swatches) on the products inside though! ^___^
Also? “Teal Deer”? Hahah, epic name, love it!

Such a cute name, I know!
I’d seen these a while ago, too. I love the one with the unicorn on. Nice to see that they’re actually pretty, I thought because of the jars, they’d be repackaged and the jars were the gimmick, you know?
Like the idea of the skunk on Love Stinks!
robyn recently shared..Maaaaaaaaan
Yeah the unicorn is adorable!
Oh wow. Just… Oh wow. I love to see indie companies taking themselves seriously enough to do things like this.
Eplefe recently shared..Fyrinnae package!
I think the packaging really speaks to me because it’s just adorable.
lol I saw them on Etsy recently and loved the packaging, but none of the colors really screamed at me to buy them. They all seemed way close to stuff I already have. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t come out with something in the future that would entice me
I especially love the shape of the jars.
Yeah the jars are pretty unique!
They’re all so pretty!
I especially like that Hirundo has a Monty Python reference in the description. Sure, I would have preferred a Life of Brian or even a Meaning of Life reference, but The Holy Grail works, too!
That packaging is so weird, unique and awesome
SilhouetteScreams recently shared..Hi-Fi Cosmetics Swatches
This! Yeah!
I too would probably buy some of these just for the packaging. Thanks for the review Phyrra!
Heather / Eyeconic recently shared..My Stila lippie collection
You’re welcome Heather
Your review made me buy Muertos, Don’t be Koi, Cirrina and Hirundo.
Gorgeous packaging!
Cacau recently shared..Gotta catch them all!
Aww yay!
I saw them on etsy and fell in love with the jars so I looked for reviews. I plan on getting Cirrina and Love Stinks. There are more that I will probably get just for the jar itself
Yeah the jars are adorable.
Hi, if saw these on etsy and then googled and found your review. I see a lot about the package which I must admit is lovely
. And the hand written thank you note inside was very sweet and shows you that the company goes the extra step for their customers. I wanted to know, how is the shadow? Is the pigment as bold on your eyes? How does it wear, and how long does it last. I’m really interested in these but I want it for the shadow not just the cute jar. Oh also have you tried pressing these? I thought if I got them I might press some and maybe put them in a palette Idk. Anyways please let me know how the shadows are. plz and ty 
I found the pigmentation really nice on the colors I tried.

I haven’t tried pressing them. Hope this helps!
