Madd Cat Monthly January 2014 Review

One of the new mineral eye shadow subscriptions I'm trying out this month is Madd Cat Monthly by Madd Style Cosmetics. I found out about this company through the Makeup Talk forums (MUT) along with the other one I'm still waiting on. For $12 a month, you get 2 full sized exclusive to the subscription shadows, at least 2 samples (think baggies) of their other products, and occasional surprises that can range from full size to sample.

Since I signed up before the 20th of the month (that's the cutoff for that month), I got January's bag first.

Info card

This month's colors were:

• Stroke of Midnight (full size) - a super sparkly black with a definite purple tint and lots of purple sparkle. I really wish this photographed as it looks in real life. I couldn't capture the beautiful detail of this color, but it's so gorgeous and definitely a new favorite. 
• A Wrinkle in Time (full size) - a super sparkly antique gold. Really lovely and unique to my quickly growing collection.
• Time Warp (sample) - Another black, but this one was filled with blue and green glitter, so close up it looks quite different to me in person. Sadly, again, I just couldn't capture the detail in the picture, so it looks pretty similar, photographed, to Stroke of Midnight. They are different though!
• Fairy Fright (sample) - White in the bag, this turns to a lovely beigey white with a strong pink sheen on my skin. Very pretty.

Top jars: Stroke of Midnight and A Wrinkle in Time, Bottom bags: Time Warp and Fairy Fright

I was totally thrilled with this month's selections. The colors were so gorgeous! I love when shadow has a ton of sparkle in it and this absolutely delivers that! Although I'm not sure I need all this shadow, I'm definitely keeping this subscription.
