The Ghost of Christmas Past Collections 2009 Edition

ghost of christmas past collections

“Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?” asked Scrooge.

“I am!”

The voice was soft and gentle.� Singularly low, as if instead of being close beside him, it were at a great distance.

“Who, and what are you?” Scrooge demanded.

“I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.”

And tonight the Ghost of Christmas Past joins us here and takes us through a journey of Holidays Collections that have long since past but are still remembered and enjoyed!

Take the jump through the past!

Enjoy these Musings (and reviews) from past Holiday Collections that I’ve taken time to draw out from their archives for each of you to enjoy as the Holiday approaches.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I’m kinda mad I missed out on the Royal Assests Collection. I wasn’t into makeup at the time. My fave MAC holiday collection has to be Red She Said.

    • the Muse

      hey marsha do you have a CCO around? I’ve seen the palettes at my local CCO 🙂

      • Marsha

        Oh yeah! I never thought about that. Thanks Muse. There’s this huge outlet mall in my city that has a CCO inside a Nordstrom Rack. I know where I’ll be spending my Christmas money. Do you think I’ll be able to find the Intriguing Scarlet palette from the Passions of Red collection. I’ve been lusting over that.

        • the Muse

          hi marsha dear! 😀 check it out babe! Bet they have tons of yummie goodies! That I haven’t seen yet at my CCO but you never know 😀 Good Luck dear!!!!!!!! If not any good dealing on evil bay maybe?!

  • Marsha

    I checked on “evil” bay (lol). Wayyyy out of my budget. Thanks for the CCO suggestions anyway. I would of never thougt of that.

    • the Muse

      haha 😀 that bad eh? my pleasure. Also MUA maybe someone has a new one they’d be willing to sell for cheap or swap up? 😀

  • Kathie

    The trend this winter is red lipstick.. but I really look horrible in bright red or even dark tones of red. Any ideas for the people who can’t wear red for the holidays?

    • the Muse

      hi kathie I think that trend is pretty much every single year 😀 Holidays=Festive Red Lips.

      I dunno hun. have you tried stopping at mac to see if they can match you up with a good red for your skin tone?! 🙂 If not you can always go with some shimmering golden color or a pink…doesn’t have to be red 🙂
