Scaredy Cat Cosmetics Review

ByCordelia

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.

  1. 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 🙂

  2. 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

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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!

  12. 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…

  13. 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!

    1. The only thing close that I can think of is the Meow Vandal Eyes, but it’s a different shape, too.

  16. 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.

  19. 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 … ^.^

    1. I think they really did a nice job with their photography and I just LOVE the design on the bottles.

  20. These are adorable! And what beautiful colors to boot! I gotta snag a few of these myself after the holidays! 😀 Thanks for sharing! 😀

  22. 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.

    1. I had Heartleaf at one point but I’m not sure where it’s at. I think that Heartleaf is more green.

    1. I think the packaging is so cute! And I love how each one seems to have a lot of thought put into it!
