By now I’m sure everyone has indulged in the MAC Warm and Cozy Collection. I was quite excited about it’s release myself particularly because of the name…warm and cozy…it just kinda makes feel all squishy inside especially with the weather being so brisk and cold out.

Have a little jump ahead to see what I hauled and what I think!

Morning chicks.

Gosh it is still morning right? Maybe not? *looks around* No, sorry, it’s afternoon. I hate Mondays.

It’s sooooo cold outside today. New York is having some fierce weather, bloody cold as all hells outside. Best news ever is my skin is soft as a baby’s bottom, happy days.

I’m keeping Spring in my mind and letting everything come up roses by using a Crazy Stick in Rose A Saigon from Crazylibellule And The Poppies.

Oh my god loves it!

I think I’m about ready to spread the word on the new Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer. Last week I told you about the corrector as they have released a new concealer plus a corrector for extra coverage.

Have a little jump to see what I’m feeling!

Morning world!

Everyone have a good weekend? The Muse is hoping so.

As we are in the New Year I imagine one or two people made a resolution to get more organized. I know it’s always one of my top priorities when it comes to life, makeup, etc…I like everything to be as organized as possible without organization I tend to get a bit crazy.

Recently I had to stop at Staples for some office supplies and came across some great little boxes which were super cheap and super useful.

Take the Jump for the details!

By now you’re probably gagging to know what I think of the Smashbox Heartbreaker Collection that I gave you a tiny sneak peek of a few weeks ago!

Golly I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a request to review Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener…NOT the new one but the old version in a jar. Remember that one? Don’t quote me but I think it only came in two shades. Some people swore by it while others felt it wasn’t equate coverage and a bit messy to boot…as for me I can’t say as I never did get around to buying it.

The good news?

The Doctor isn’t the only one who regenerated. Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener has morphed and regenerated into a brand new click pen in a slew of new colors, nothing like the New Year for new skin right?

So I think I’m actually part of the club now. I’m not entirely sure but I think CVS likes me. Prior to this past month anytime I walked into a drugstore within the US I heard Angels weep. I was actually scared the place would crumble down around my head after passing the threshold. The Muse does not do drugstore makeup and/or skincare. But so many new items have been popping up that have made me curious so I do venture in time to time plus so many of you expressed wanting affordable makeup reviews that I couldn’t simply ignore what you requested. So indeed I’ve been heading to CVS the past month….but the club…

Well I got some sort of coupon in the mail because they have this like extra card thingy that gets you bonus bucks kinda like the Boots Reward Card, not as good mind you. Anyway they sent me $5 off anything in the store via an e-mail so I guess this means I have an in now, I’m part of the secret club, coupons and all!

No seriously I did get the coupon so I did decide I might as well spend it. I ended up hauling Lumene Vitamin C+ Energy Cocktail with the coupon. Mind you not because of the formula but because it looked so pretty, literally like some fancy cocktail, it just needed a little paper umbrella and I’d say it was downright tropical.

Have a jump to see why it’s my latest obsession!

Ahhh the Asian sheet mask. Not quite so popular in the US but within Japan, Korea, Etc…sheet masks are all the rage and a common part of an Asian girl’s (or guy) daily skincare regime and cheap as day old chips in most cases. I got a few requests asking if I could review some of my very favorite sheet masks from Asia so I thought I’d go ahead and get some reviews up of ones I love.

My fav of the moment, and of course all the rage with everyone, are from Beauty Diary a Taiwanese brand. My Beauty Diary Masks could prove popular because of their cute design or possibly because they have such a variety of masks to suit all skin types. Whatever the case may be they are some of my favorites at the moment.

Today I’ll be discussing the My Beauty Diary Cooling Mask.

You ever find yourself completely ignoring Benefit’s color cosmetics and just really concentrating hard on their base line? I do this all the time. They make so many incredible, must have base products I completely forget they have color cosmetics available too!

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray Eye Primer can definitely make me forget everything very easily. Loves it!

Korean brand, the Skin Food, continues to weave it’s magic spell around the Muse. I’m totally a fool for this line at the moment and I’m already looking into purchasing some more.

I’ve been using the Skin Food Peach Sake Perfect Concealer for the last few weeks and must say it’s a likey.

I’ve been wanting to haul from Shopping99 for a while now but never got around to it. Mainly I wanted the Mugu Peach Makeup Collection they had going on. It was cheap, it was cute, and it smelled of peaches. What more could a girl want? My obsession with peach makeup stems from the Etude House Peach line that I got a while back ago so of course the Mugu stuff was topping my must have it list for a fair while.

I just never got around to actually doing my order but I was recently pleasantly surprised when my mate Rows included the Mugu Peach Liquid Foundation in a box she sent over to me.

You’ve no idea how excited I was about this foundation, it’s just too cute.

Take a jump for the word!

The Muse has a love/hate relationship with Kim Kardashian. I hate her because I can’t stand reality TV, OMG reality telly is my pet peeve. I’m a PBS nerd so you can take it from there what sort of viewing habits I have as far as the tube goes. You can just imagine what it’s like when I switch on the TV and I’m presented with shows like Keeping Up with The Kardashians…lame-o!

Anyway.

I love her because I really do think she’s an utterly flawless looking girl. I’d love to meet her makeup artist. Kinda have the hint of a girl crush on her. I know little to nothing about her mind you aside from her looks as I never really paid much attention to her show or interviews and such with her although I did hear her brief, short replies during her spot on the Howard Stern recently…yea I know how ironic it is that I listen to Howard Stern but hate reality TV, shrug.

I’m babbling.

Fact is that Kim now has her own fragrance. The new Kim Kardashian Perfume is coming to Sephora shortly and I’m honestly intrigued and curious how it might smell.

Question is, would you buy it?
