I wasn't really into indie makeup brands until around Black Friday of last year. I really wish I had known more about them before I shelled out so much money for more high end brands. Don't get me wrong, I love MAC lipsticks and Illamasqua Intense Lipglosses, but there is just so much out there that spending $14.50 for one single eyeshadow would seem ridiculous. Of course, if I was rolling in money, I wouldn't mind spending the cash, but I am not. :) I work retail, after all.
Anywho, I can't really tell you where I found out about Scaredy Cat Cosmetics, but I am so glad I did. The packaging is too freakin' cute--small glass vials with a company logo sticker on them. Unfortunately, they come in a baggie with the name of the shadow and ingredients on the outside of the bag and not at all on the vials. Not a problem, though. I whipped out my fine point Sharpie and wrote them myself before I threw the baggies away. I think my boyfriend either vacuumed one or threw it away because I had originally ordered fifteen vials and I now only have fourteen. :(
Here is how they look in their vials:
Adorable, right?! Indeed. Now on to the swatches and name information!
As for my thoughts, some of these shades are unique and some are not. In a way, for me it's kind of refreshing to get new eyeshadows without tons and tons of glitter. I rather like these, however difficult it is to get product out of the tiny vials. I just pull the stopper out and use my eyeshadow brush to get the product off the cap. There's usually enough on there for one eye.
Have you tried Scaredy Cat Cosmetics out? How do you like them? Does packaging influence you at all in your mineral makeup purchases?
