Madd Style Cosmetics Madd Cat July Box Review and Swatches

Madd Style Cosmetics Review Swatches Video

I wanted to share my Madd Style Cosmetics Madd Cat July Box with you. In 2011 I first tried Madd Style Cosmetics, but due to some glittermobbing fans I didn’t try them again until this month. This is my experience with their products. I am happy to say that Madd Style cosmetics is cruelty free and vegan. I was sad to find out that they’re closing.

Pricing
$12 for the monthly Madd Cat box
$5 full size eyeshadow

Madd Style Cosmetics Madd Cat July Box Swatches Review

My Madd Cat Monthly July box contained

  • Party Dress, Dancing Shoes (exclusive full size shades)($5 each)
  • Glitter & Doom, Poodle Parade (deluxe samples)($2.00 each)
  • In the Buff (clamshell sample)($1)

Value $10

Since the Madd Cat Box cost $10 plus $2 shipping, and I estimate the value of my box to be $10, I basically broke even. I was disappointed that I received a deluxe sample in Poodle Parade since I had recently purchased that in a full size. With an indie company, I expected to not receive any of the same colors that I’d recently purchased.

I was going to give the Madd Style Cosmetics Madd Cat box another month to see how the value would be, but when I heard they were closing I decided to cancel my subscription.

I do really like the eyeshadows that I purchased. The pigmentation is great and so is the formula. On primer I experienced all day wear.

Pros

  • Cruelty free
  • Vegan
  • Great pigmentation and formula
  • Lots of colors available

Cons

  • Closing soon
  • May receive colors you already own in the Madd Cat Box

  2. I read she’s going to be adding extra stuff in the subscription boxes because of the closing!

  10. Your teal eye makeup gotta be your signature, I like it each time you do one.

  11. Hmm yeah usually sample boxes are a better value than buying the items individually but this doesn’t sound like it was

  13. At least if you’re going to get a duplicate, you got one with the best name! lol. Some really pretty shades in there, especially the shimmers. Too bad they’re closing.

  17. I have never heard of this line. I must check it out. Love the looks you created!

  18. In The Buff and Dancing Shoes are calling my name, but all of the colors are stunning! I love both looks you created 🙂

  20. They are beautiful shades ! I really like the teal on your eyelid, and it’s such a bummer they are closing down.

  23. Oooh these shades are beautiful and I am obsessed with the looks you created. That teal “Pew Pew Pew” shades looks killer on your eyes. Stunning girl. And Love LOVE LOVE the new layout of the blog. Totally amazing!!!

    1. At least they’ll still be selling out their remaining stock, so if you see colors you like you can still grab them

  29. Beautiful turquoise color on you, though I suspect Phaedra was hoping you’d wear Poodle Parade!!!!!
