Meow Cosmetics Joys of Summer Collection Review and Swatches
As promised, I have the Meow Cosmetics Joys of Summer collection review and swatches for you. I think you’ll love the colors! With a whopping 24 colors, Meow’s Joys of Summer collection is gigantic! This collection is customer inspired and customer named. Some shadows are velvety or creamy, others are iridescent, and some are metallic. All are lovely.
As expected, this is a very picture heavy post. Lots of swatches 🙂 These are all on Meow’s Light Primer.

Please remember, color is subjective. These are my interpretations of the colors. I use daylight bulbs to take true to color photos of the eyeshadows. I make sure the colors on my hand match the photos, which match my computer monitor. Different monitors can be calibrated in different ways, so I check the colors on my cell phone, a Mac laptop, as well as my machine. I’ve done the best I can to ensure color clarity.
My Picks from this collection
Beachcombing, Iced Coffee, Flaming Marshmallows, Midnight Sun, Brazilian, Lazy Nights, Endless Days, A/C, Cricket Serenade, Dragonfly and Azure Sky.

Products sent for consideration. All opinions are my own.
Sleeping Naked is gorgeous. Dragonfly is another lovely color. Love green and orange shades. Great swatches, they make a great reference if you are shopping for Meow Cosmetics.
You’re welcome! Keep watching for their sales. Their anniversary sale should be coming up sometime soon.
I think you would love them!
I’m so glad you find the swatches helpful 🙂
Beachcombing & Iced Coffee are the only ones that are doing anything for me out if this collection. Dunno….not much else appeals to me. Oh well, that just saves me some cash 🙂
@Sandra TK Beachcombing is really pretty on. I did a look with it.

want!
Thank you so much for another great swatch post! I find with some sites that its hard to tell from the pictures what the colors will really look like when a scoop of product is shown versus an actual swatch.
I usually lurk, but wanted to let you know how helpful I found these swatches. In was on the Meow site the other day & was on the fence on placing an order. Now, I’ll be placing a bigger order than I orig anticipated.
WOW! These are gorgeous! I haven’t tried Meow yet but honestly I’m a little afraid to try. I don’t think I could stop!
I personally appreciate the picture-heavy posts, they fuel my Meow Cosmetics lust. My favorites are Skee-Ball, Lazy Days, Endless Nights, and Cat Days of Summer. I still haven’t had the funds to purchase these, but this post makes me anticipate that time even more! Thanks for the review.
Wow, I want the whole thing! That’s the bad thing about makeup. There is just so much that it terrific that I can’t pick just one.
Happy Summer! 🙂
No! I didn’t see this so I don’t need to buy it… see, if I’d seen it, I would desperately need Beach combing, Conch and Azure sky. Full sizes too. That was close.
As always, great swatches!
nice shades, and definitely appreciate the photos!!
Ooooooh! I just ordered a bunch of these yesterday, now I’m even more excited to get them!
I’ve pretty much sworn off buying new shadows and ruthlessly culled what I do have (making a few of my friends VERY happy with their boxes of many goodies), but I really want Beachcombing, Flaming Marshmallows and Heatwave.
I think Beachcombing and Flaming Marshmallows would make a great take on Michelle Pfeiffer’s eyemake up looks in Dark Shadows. Whoever did her makeup is a genius.
I want to get this collection!!!! they look awesome and some of them very special! thanks for the swatches
Pretty! 😀
I like a whole lot of them, but Flaming Marshmallows looks really interesting!
Wow, those blues are bright! Love the look of Cat Days of Summer too 😀
omg I want all the ones in the last pics, the blues and pink/purples….<3
Cat Days of Summer is GORGEOUS! Wow, I love it so much!
