Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara Review

This Muse is going to party like it’s 1999 with the new Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara.  Is it just me or is that like the coolest name ever?  You whip it out of the purse and tell your best mate, “Heys, just let me get some of my Extreme Party Mascara on before we go out!”  Is that too corny?

Ok, well fact is I adore the name.

Question is do I adore the mascara?

Clarins Palazzo d’Oro Collection Review, Swatches, and Photos

The Muse knows you love to hate her because she gives you a bad case of makeup lemming. Would you be so kind as to let her do it one last time before the weekend starts?

Let me introduce you to the Clarins Palazzo d’Oro Collection. Prepared to be wow’ed girls (and guys) this is probably the most luxurious set this season, nothing has topped it and I’m doubtful anything will.

Accessory Corner: Goody Midnight Glamour Hair Accessories Collection Giveaway

The Muse’s heart was crushed when Lonely Boy told the Queen B, “No headbands in college…”

But, but, but…The Muse can’t live life without a proper headband holding her crazy curls in place.  Lord, knows my day to day life would be completely overs if I didn’t have a proper headband to keep my hair out of my face.  It’s long, it’s curly, and it has a life of it’s own.  So, yes, yes, yes headbands in college and headbands now.

Besides when did Dan Humphrey become the authority on good fashion.

Anyway…you may want to spice up your Holiday with a few headbands and not take Dan’s advice on these things.

Want cheap ones?  Pretty ones too?  Want some for free?  I’m giving away a few headbands today from the lovely folk over at Goody.

Jane Iredale Chocoholicks

The Muse is personally addicted to chocolate. Now mind you I don’t like just any chocolate. I’m a Cadbury kinda girl, any choc from England is welcomed and I do accept bribes and forms of payment in Cadbury Roses if you’re wanting to go ahead and gift me. At some future date, like not today, but really soon I’m picturing Prince William will come whisk me off my feet and propose but here’s the kicker…he’ll put the ring inside a box of Cadbury Roses oh and it’ll be the Queen’s idea to do this.

Ahh romance.

But anyway yea…I like chocolate from the UK. I also happen to love Jane Iredale Chocoholicks.

Sonia Kashuk for Target: Sonia Kashuk Twist & Shout Kabuki Brush Review

Today the Muse is all about buffing powder onto my face with the new Sonia Kashuk Twist & Shout Kabuki Brush for Holiday 2009.

It’s ok, it’s ok everyone remain calm I promise I will not go into a long rant about how much I love the Beatles and how Twist and Shout was one of thee greatest songs circa their 60′s era (don’t get me started on the 70′s or John era that story is way too long for this post).

But!

I will bring you some Ferris.

I mean come on how 80′s-tastic was that scene? Almost as good as when he started lipping Wayne Newton’s Danke Schoen.

Bueller, Bueller, Anyone?

Tarte Holiday Collection 2009: Tarte Crown Jewels LipGloss Gift Set Review and Swatches

Ok, let me so share with you a Musey Christmas story.  When I was little one item I could always look forward to when I was a little Muse would be those Lifesaver Christmas Books.

Please tell me I have a few older readers that remember these?

lifesavers

Basically it came with a life time supply of LifeSavers Candies (8 rolls but it seemed like a life time supply to me when I was a kid) in a little book style packaging.   I’ll bore you no more but the moral of the story is the new Tarte Crown Jewels Lipgloss Set kinda reminds me of that days of old packaging from Lifesavers when I was an ickle baby.

Technical Difficulties: Site Problems!

broken

Hey guys!

Quickie note.

You may be experiencing a few problems navigating today if you use the previous post button towards the bottom of my blog or the pages button.   If you try clicking “page 2, page 3″ or “prior post” and “previous post” you’ll end up with blank results.

The problem will be resolved by tomorrow.  While it’s being looked into and fixed you can use the archives menu located on the top of the blog or you can use the search by month option located on the left hand side of the column past recent posts.

Sorry about that and thanks for being patient while it gets fixed up.

Product Musings: MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow Blue Sorcery Review and Swatches

There is something so magical about MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow in Blue Sorcery.

Believe it or not I’ve been avoiding the MAC counter like the plague since the release of the MAC Holiday Collection 2009. Oh I know MAC and MAC knows me. It’s likely I’ll haul tons of Holiday like it’s going out business if I’m not careful that’s why I’ve been biding my time carefully for the big day I do finally head to counter. Fact is I am somewhat off the jet plane I used to be on where I was rushing to MAC as soon as a collection released. I’m calmer now, a little less hyped, more level headed about my purchases….as its probably evident I have WAY too much MAC.

But today I can Muse a little with you about MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow Blue Sorcery. Wanna join in?
