It appears that man’s best friend at Buxom has been seeing a makeup-loving woman on the side! Good morning and happy hump day, cutie. 🙂 Let’s get Wednesday off to a good start with a peek at the four new Buxom Stay-There Eye Shadow colors for spring 2011 ($17 each), which, like Buxom’s 10 previous Stay-There shades, are named after different breeds of dog (woof!).
What’s a Buxom Stay-There Eye Shadow?
With a plush, lightweight texture, these faithful beauty companions come in 14 waterproof shades. Non-greasy and long-wearing, the Buxom Stay-There shadows are always there when you need ’em, looking out for your pretty peepers with a mineral-infused, paraben-free formula enriched with Aloe and Vitamin E.
Tabs said he likes the idea, but he hopes Buxom considers adding a few feline colors to the line (and would like to offer his kitty modeling services if they do). While they mull that over, I’d like to submit a color suggestion if I may — Mystery Mutt, a shimmery golden brown, named after Shauna, my family’s beloved pooch.
Shauna the Wonderdog!
These just hit my desk, so I haven’t been able to test them for wear time yet, but I like the soft, spongy texture and blinged-out shimmer.
Here’s a quick look…

February 9th, 2011 at 9:40 amI like cocker spaniel and collie!
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:58 amCoincidentally, those are two of my favorite dog breeds, LOL!
Tiffany says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:05 amhaha, I actually have had both a cocker spaniel and a (border) collie in the past!
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:17 amThey’re great dogs. Good natured, loving, loyal… aww, now I want a pup!
Kinda random, but I talked so somebody last night about Jack Russell terriers and suddenly remembered the one that used to roam my old neighborhood and chase me while I was running. Gosh that dog was MEAN!
Michelle says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:46 amI love these. They feel like a marshmellow they’re so soft!
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:58 amThat’s a spot on description! Totally like a fluffy marshmallow. 🙂
Kim says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:47 amOh, Sheepdog, of course. I’m so predictable. 🙂
Hopefully Buxom is listening to your suggestion of kitty names. They do NOT want to get on Tabs’ bad side. 🙂
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:58 amLOL! I like that color for brightening. Pop it in the inner corner and oh-la-la! Instant sleep!
If Tabs had his way Buxom would dedicate an entire line to the kitties with colors like Stray Cat, Nine Lives and Paw Swipe. 😉
Jessica G says
February 9th, 2011 at 1:00 pmAww Tabs has great ideas,my cat Snook would like colors like Hiss,Whiskers and Tail Lash.
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 7:57 amOh, great names! I especially like Tail Lash. Tabs knows that move well, LOL!
Laurina says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:51 amCocker Spaniel looks pretty. I have the color Mutt and it is such a beautiful color! i would really recommend it for ladies with blue eyes (but really I think it would look good in almost anyone) these do crease a bit after 6 hours or so but this was without a primer under it. But I do love it and use it as my everyday lid color 🙂
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:56 amThanks for the heads up, Laurina. I will have to try it with my NARS Pro Prime. 🙂
Happy Wednesday!
Lisa S. says
February 9th, 2011 at 2:06 pmI have it in Mutt also and agree with you about the wear time. With a primer though, I get about 12 hours. Mutt is is one of my designated go-to colors when I just want to swipe something on and go.

Andrea H says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:52 amAre these creamy? Or loose powders like other Bareminerals products? They look creamy in the pics, but I just wanted to make sure.

Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 9:54 amHi Andrea,
Yes, they’re creamy. The texture’s kinda neat. It’s not as dense as a MAC Paint Pot or a Benefit Creaseless Cream… it’s more fluffy/spongy. Try them out next time you’re at Sephora!
Christina says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:00 amI love the idea of using cream shadows for a base but these look awfully frosty! Can’t wait to see them in a look!
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:15 amThey are pretty frosty. I’d probably just use these on the lid and in the inner corner because of the finish…
Meredith says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:09 amhmmm….what about staying power though?
I have had a lot of MUA recommend paint pots to me but they slide right off my lids no matter how little I use….
I am anxious to see how long they stay…I love the colors but am wary of wear-time.
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:14 amHi Meredith,
Are you using a primer beneath your Paint Pots?
Meghan says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:16 amI love Cocker Spaniel… is it sort of like MAC’s Paint pot in “Rubenesque” because I do not own that and would like to have a base that color. Thanks Karen!
Meghan recently posted … Clinique Milly Pretty in Prints
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:18 amOh, it does kinda look like Rubenesque. I have that color and it’s slightly more melon on me… it’s a fun shade, especially for summer!
Anywho, have a great Wednesday!
Kaelin Chan says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:25 amOh I do love my shimmery shadows. I’m itching to give Husky a try, looks like a lot of fun to play around with.
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:40 amAwesome, Kaelin! I hope you like them.
Heidi says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:30 amCocker Spaniel & Collie look beautiful!
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:40 amThey do! I think they’d be really pretty on the lid with a super thin line of black liquid liner on the upper lash line. Pop on two layers of mascara and oh-la-la!
AnieJ says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:41 amI think Collie would be the best bet for me, but I want a color-color, not just a base. Any suggestions from this line?

Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:46 amYou might want to go with something brighter then, like Bull Dog (a royal blue) or Schnauzer (a vivid violet plum).
Kelly says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:42 amThose are all super pretty, but I especially like Husky (coincidentally it’s also my favorite dog!) 🙂
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:45 amI had a husky when I was a kid and absolutely adored him. They’re great dogs!
Kelly says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:13 amSo lucky! I’ve wanted one my entire life 🙂
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 7:58 amThey’re very energetic… and unfortunately prone to running away. I’ve read so many stories about people letting their husky puppies go off leash and then the dogs just bolting. I guess they’re just doing what nature designed them to do.
Cassy says
February 9th, 2011 at 10:57 amCollie is like whoa there! with the sparkle, I like it. My mystery mutts are part Cocker Spaniel, though, so I do have a special place in my heart for that one.

How about a shade called Pound Puppy? I’d be all over that one too.
Nina says

Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 7:59 amYes! With a little bit of pale pink gloss… yum!
Carrie says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:13 amHusky is really pretty (just like the dogs). The others look easy to dupe.
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 8:00 amYes… just like the dogs. 🙂
heidi says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:15 amI want collie so bad! That’s beautiful. Husky’s pretty too but I have blue eyes and I think collie would make them pop. How quickly do they dry? Is it slow enough to blend?
Also I would totally buy a cat line. My simese, russian blue, calico, mix Sugar agrees with Tabs. They could stick with breeds, tabby could be a deep brown, persian stark white, simese a pale highlight… it would be brilliant. Or they could name them things like kitty nip, purr, or whiskers… there’s a whole market of crazy cat ladies who would adore it.
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 8:01 amHi Heidi,
I need to spend some more time playing with these but from the swatches I’ve noticed that you do get some leeway in the drying time.
BTW, what a cute name for a kitty! I had a neighbor who had a cat named Sugar and she was so playful and outgoing.
Cassy says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:15 amOh no! I think I messed up because my comment disappeared. They’ve been doing that lately :/ I am partial to Cocker Spaniel, though, because my mystery mutts are part cocker (the rest mystery, lol)

Dharti says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:24 amI like cocker spaniel. I like Collie too but I have a similar shade. It’s copper I think – by VS. Have you tried their loose powder eye shadows? They are really good – easy to blend, very pigmented, and stay for about 6 hrs on me without any primer or attempt at not touching my eyes 😀 And they are only $7 ish.
I have a question about these though – I love husky but I don’t like all over blue lids. Do you think these would work well with a brush as eyeliners?
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 8:04 amHi Dharti,
You could probably rock these as liner if you used a stiff brush. You probably couldn’t a line that’s as crisp as you would with a gel liner like MAC Fluidline, but you could still do it.
Dharti says
February 10th, 2011 at 4:37 pmThanks! 🙂 I think I’ll go check these out this week.

Amanda says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:39 amI like cocker spaniel best in the pot, and collie best of the swatches. i have one of the orignal 10 (pug? i think-it’s a silvery taupe) and like it well enough to get another if there is a color I LOVE. But I am starting to feel a little….saturated by my stuff. gasp! I know, I know.
Karen says
February 9th, 2011 at 11:48 amI don’t believe it! How is that even possible? LOL
This coming from a girl who obsessively collects pink gloss like it’s going out of style…

February 10th, 2011 at 8:06 amYou should do your eye makeup with this and take a pic with your dog, aww!
Tara says
February 10th, 2011 at 11:22 amThat’d be super cute! Good idea, I’ll have to get on that! 🙂
Christy says
February 9th, 2011 at 12:58 pmI would get Collie…only because I have one 😉 She’s a Sheltie specifically named Liberty 🙂

February 9th, 2011 at 6:25 pmI’m intrigued by the texture of these – will have to swatch these when I find them. Lately when I don’t have much time to do my makeup I’ll just dab on some cream shadow on my lids then follow with eyeliner & mascara. I may look into these!
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 8:09 amHi Suji,
They feel really neat — almost like a marshmallow.
BTW, have you checked out NARS Spring yet? They have a really great shadow pencil called Hollywoodland that’s great for mornings when you need to rush.
bisbee says
February 10th, 2011 at 6:04 amI have 3 of the original colors – Black Lab (for a smokey eye), Mutt (bronze-taupe) and Pug (pewter). Mutt and Pug are my go-to shadows – and they actually last all day on me – even without a primer (but I normally do use a primer). I thought the amount was ridiculously tiny…but they last forever! They are shimmery, but not over-the-top – although I’d love it they would come out with some other finishes – not necessarily matte, but a satin would be nice.
The texture is wonderful, and I highly recommend buying the “special” brush – it’s absolutely perfect for applying these, although most likely any cream shadow brush would work, but this one is shaped perfectly, and is a little more “plush” than my other cream shadow brushes, which seems to work well with the spongy texture!
Karen says
February 10th, 2011 at 7:25 amThanks for the heads up Bisbee. I’ll have to look into Pug. It sounds like a color I’d probably like.
C says
February 10th, 2011 at 4:23 pmI have Mutt and I love it! It’s the only eye shadow I’ve found that stays on my oily lids (and yes, I use a primer but this is the only shadow that works).
