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.

    Hey Muse,

    I bought the Body Shop blush (pink one) that you reviewed! It’s super awesome as a fall color and I can’t wait to try it! Loves you so much keep up the good work, more power ;p

    • the Muse

  • Big Fashionista

    Barry M nail effects, because I have already finished one bottle I bought last week!!!!

    Oh the shame

  • Reese

    Over the weekend I purchased the Urban Decay Black Palette. I am fascinated with the dark colors. I also bought two nail polishes from Sephora: one black and one dark glitter overlay. Looks like I am bringing out my inner rock star!

  • Eli

    3 brushes (this counts as makeup, doesn’t it :), and I got my avon delivery, with a pearl nail shine, a foot cream (smells yummy, chocolate and pomegranate) and a sample of a new foundation 🙂

    • the Muse

      chocolate and pom foot cream Eli!? OMG! sounds gorg ;D which new foundation?

      • Eli

        Calming effects skin revival foundation, it’s a revamp of the old calming effects. I haven’t tried it yet, but at least the colour match is perfect this time. The foot cream is really gorgeous, I’m still trying not to eat it 😀

        • the Muse

          eli I’ve heard good things! ;-D lol! I hear ya anything that smells gorg I’m ON!

  • Colette

    I got Bobbi Brown’s “Slopes” blush. I’m not much of a matte blush girl, but this one gives me a glow without shimmer!

  • Bridgette

    I got Tokidoki Punk Lash Mascara in Sobochan (purple). Going to have to spend more time with this, not what I expected. Know any amazing colored mascaras Muse? I also got the Tokidoki brush set, so cute! Lastly, I got another Buzom Stay there shadow in Schnauzer, I just love the texture of them!

    • the Muse

      no Bridge dam wish I had a good one but none of them work that fab 😛 grrr! I LOVE them too ;-D they rock!

  • Andrea

    I went on a bit of a Stila spree without intending to… haha. I finally ordered the Moscow palette and a shadow duo and got a free pearl shimmer gloss (and free shipping!) thanks to a lovely Happy Hour deal. Then I went to Urban Outfitters later this weekend and ended up leaving with no clothes but even more Stila… the summer lip glaze sets (50% off!) and a new travel palette in Floral Chic.

  • Patrizia

    HII! I hope you had a good weekend. I got 2 lipsticks and started a square 5 palette at INGLOT. I got 2 shadows a pearl white/pink and a pearl taupe. The lipsticks, 1 is a pretty warm nude and the other is a light lilac nude.

    • the Muse

      oooo so jealous of your inglot palette Patrizia ;-D I had a wonderful one thanks ;D how was yours?!

      • Patrizia

        My weekend was fine thanks… kinda boring, worked Sunday but went out yesterday night with the boyfriend for some shopping which was nice 🙂

  • Carol-Patricia

    L’oreal True match foundation, after using Revlon Colorstay for a while it was just becoming to harsh and thick feeling on my skin. True match feels so much better and matches my skin better.

    Also Maybelline Falsies, it was half price so I picked it up not expecting much but I LOVE it!

    • the Muse

      I haven’t tried True Match yet Carol but curious ;-D Aw glad you’re loving faslies, I didn’t get on with it sadly 😛

  • Jenniet2002

    Hi Musey =) went to a CCO this weekend, bought MAC Perfect Topping MSF, it’s really nice to use as a highlight and i’ve been using it as an all over wash of color on my eyelids as well. very happy to have found it. i wanted to try a couple of MAC concealers, so i picked up the Studio Touch-Up Stick Corrector, which was a fail unfortunately. got the moisturecover and it wasn’t that impressive either! still looking for a great concealer especially for my scarring on my cheeks. my fav buy was definitely my trio of lipsticks and a lipgloss from MAC from the Baby Blooms collection. and a buttload of stuff from ELF-try the Complexion Perfection powder, it’s nice!

    • the Muse

      hey jenniet ;-D have a good weekend? Sweet! I loved perfect topping when it came out. Ha I gotta try it on my eyes ;-D Try out Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer, girl I pimp it to everyone, loves it ;-D I def need to try that from ELF people keep telling me it’s awesome ;-D

  • breyerchic04

    Nothing. Planning a trip to sephora (2.5 hours away) this coming weekend for an eyeliner spree. Need to figure out what works best for me (other than brown, I know I like brown).

      • breyerchic04

        Or a write in campaign?

        I really lied, there is Sephora an hour away, but not Lush, a mall with both is 2.5 hours away, almost 3. Still a pain.

  • Courtney

    Picked up my go to eyeshadow for boring days when I’m too lazy to do much makeup: covergirl eyeshadow in champagne. It’s a nice very subtle gold shimmer that creates a nice neutral look for daytime. When applied over black eyeliner it turns the black into a really neat silver/blueish/gunmetal color that I love. Boring buy, but totally one of my go tos.

    • the Muse

      I need to check that one out courtney. Never really explored CG eyeshadows to be honest but it sounds like a nice shade!

      • Courtney

        I wouldn’t wate too much time/money with CG eyeshadows (most aren’t that pigmented or anything special) but I really happen to love that particular shade.

  • jenna

    i ran to wal-mart with my bf and wandered into cosmetics while he went to grab his protein shake mix and found that they’re finally carrying hard candy here (took forever)! he found me happily playing when he was done and told me to pick out a few treats hehe so i got the fibre mascara in black, e/s duo in peace, and glossy lip pencil in cupcake.

  • irini

    hey muse 😀 hope you are doing alright!

    weeeeell i havent quite bought anything,saving up for clothes,but im on the hunt for urban decay’s naked palette!arg i live in greece so there is no urban decay here!and sephora and the urban decay site dont ship here :@ i see them on ebay only for like 70 bucks!

    • the Muse

      I’m great irini how are you dear? ;-D ugh the naked palette is such a hard one even here in the US. 70 bucks ouchie ;( I’d wait a while longer and see how it goes, you might find it cheaper once it comes back in stock!

  • Cj

    Hey Muse 🙂

    I didn’t get much makeup this weekend since I got everything I wanted last time I was in Orlando, but I did manage to puck up a few nude/brown MUFE eyeshadows to fill up my palette and a couple of more fall-ish nail polishes. So how was the comic con? 🙂

    Side note I got that trench I was telling you about 😀 along with a jacket, 2 shirts and 2 jeans lol

    • the Muse

      forget the makeup CJ you got the Trench!? ;-D I wanna see! <3 Bur! lucky girl!

      Comic Con was awesome! totally a nerd-fest just the way I like it. Gonna post a picture or too in As Seen by the Muse soonish. ;-D It was fun but exhausting hehe!

  • Promise

    Well….Friday I bought the HSN Korres lip glaze set for 29.95 with free shipping, and I also bought the Holiday Lip Glaze set from Stila Happy Hour with the free pearl lip gloss…and then Monday I went to the MAC counter and bought Evil Queen Hot House and then my sweet and wonderful boyfriend bought me the Cyndi Lauper gloss!! I love him!! I hope you had a great weekend!!! ♥♥♥

    • the Muse

      awesome Promise ;-D good hauling on the Korres set, I thought that was a nice deal. Aw that’s so nice of him! ;-D Fab one thanks how was yours?

  • Bianca

    I got Maybelline Great Lash waterproof mascara, Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake lip gloss, Urban Decay eyeshadow in YDK, UD eyeliner in Zero, Almay One Coat Nourishing waterproof mascara, and ELF liquid eyeliner 😀 Also, I got an EcoTools brush set 🙂

    • the Muse

      NICE bianca ;-D I freaking love reading about other people’s hauls hehe!

  • kharanya

    I actually didn’t buy anything lol. I’m waiting for the holiday sets to drop, especially the Tarte one. I missed the treasure chest last year boohoo so I definitely don’t want to miss the jewelry box this year.

    I really like their line, I have some seriously eye allergies and their stuff don’t bother me at all unlike most other cosmetic brands.

    So when’s the muse gonna drop the deets on theJewlry Box? I’ve actually seen it on youtube, some lucky person already got their from Sephora, though it’s not showing up online yet.

    • the Muse

      the jewelry box looks amazing kharanya ;-D I haven’t seen it anywhere yet not online either but hopefully soon ;-D!

  • Laci

    Oh good Lord. I did some damage this weekend. LOL

    Sephora: TF Fairy Glamour to Go palette, Sephora BCA Palette, Smashbox lipgloss, Korres Pomegranate cleansing cloths

    HSN: set of 4 Korres Lip Butter Glazes (for $29!!)

    Target: Sonia Kashuk BCA Brush set (for $9!!)

    MakeupGeek.com: 3 NYX eyeshadows that I couldn’t find at Ulta

    Nordstroms: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick, MAC VV lipstick in Sinister, MAC VV lipgloss in Hot House, MAC VV Darkly My Dear blush, MAC 239 brush

    Target: Pink Brita pitcher

    I think I’m most excited about the Nordstroms box and the TF Fairy Glamour to Go palette. 😀

    • Laci

      Oh — and I forgot that a friend of mine found the new holiday Tarte Cheek Stain set at her Sephora so she bought it for me and is mailing it to me. 😀 😀 😀

      Add that to my most excited about list. 😀

        • Laci

          Yeah, she got the box for her, the cheek stains for me. I have several friends who have found them in stores… many don’t have them out yet — but the SAs are bringing them out for those who ask.

          • the Muse

            laci gotta ask the SA’s but knowing my Sephora stores they will look at me with a blank stare.

    • the Muse

      laci sweet!!!!!!!! ;-D I want the GoG this year again I think ;-D I love the pom clothes btw, my favs ;-D *wriggles* I’m coming over to play girl!

      • Laci

        The Korres cloths are my favorite. They’re my go-to item when I need to bump my order over $50. LOL

        What’s sad is that for the past two weeks I’ve been “shopping” out of my stash and I keep finding stuff that I forgot I had!

          • Erin

            Okay…Tarte Cheek Stain set at Sephora? I can’t find it on the website. Help me!!!!!
            Okay, a tad bit dramatic but I want this lol.

          • the Muse

            Hi erin I don’t think it’s yet on the site hun ;-D believe these were in store purchases!

  • Hilary

    Hey Muse,

    hope you enjoyed your long weekend. I made two random impulse
    purchases that actually paid off. I came home and looked up reviews of both and they are rated pretty well on blogs! I wonder if you’ve used them?

    I got the rimmel moisture renew in vintage pink (hated the scent but loved the muted mauve tone) and the maybelline eye studio gel liner. I used liquid mostly but couldn’t resist trying gel (finally). I really like the eyeliner, I’d be interested in knowing what you think of it?

  • Brooke

    It’s not a new product, but I picked up NARS Bad Education gloss. Red lipsticks and glosses always scare me because I am very fair and they always make me look crazy. This gloss is the perfect color…not too bright, yet pigmented – although you have to be careful when you first apply it to make sure it is evenly distributed or else it is darker in some spots than others and looks a little weird. Definitely recommend!
    I also bought Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara. As a side note, I haven’t purchased anything Clinique in a while just because I have tried their foundations umpteen times and it never matches – it’s always orangey on me so I’m never really drawn to anything at their counter…maybe it’s too close to the MAC counter, too? haha. Anyway, I read reviews on it and decided to give it a try and LOOOOVE it! It’s not for someone who wants a lot of drama, but it’s great for everyday. It seems to do a decent job adding color and lengthening, however, not much for volume. Maybe I’ll have to venture to Clinique more often to check out more of their products with the exception of their foundations 😛

    • the Muse

      yay brooke glad to hear you found a good red for yourself ;-D It’s always so hard to find the perfect shade ;-D Clinique does surprise sometimes particularly with LE items in my experience!

  • Melody

    big haul at the drugstore this weekend, got a few new maybelline lippies and covergirl liquiline blast eyeliners just to name a few. Loves them!

  • Ellie

    I ordered the Smashbox Masquerade eye palette and UD 24/7 liner in Flipside from sephora, plus I got the mini Buxom lip stick in Amsterdam for free… I’m eagerly awaiting them in the mail!
    And I got Revlon lipstick in Cherries in the Snow 🙂

  • Sarah

    Wasn’t a long weekend for me but I did buy a covergirl lip stain in everbloom kiss. So gorgeous

  • MusicLover

    i went crazy this weekend! It was my birthday so my mother treated me.

    Went to mac and picked up a lipglass, mascara and four eyeshadows. plus a couple more brushes

    went to 2 sephoras! they now have 2 in my fav mall. well kind of one in JcPennys and a free standing store. picked up a ton of MUFE and Kat Von D, and replaced my empty urban decay liquid liner. I got a lot more but just can’t remember. I think this will have to be my last haul until the holidays. lol too much make up.( did i just say that?)

    • the Muse

      hey musiclover! Happy belated ;-D Sweet hauling! enjoy your goodies. Never too much makeup, blasphemy! ;D

  • shusheshe

    I bought a Nars blush set containing the Deep Throat blush, that multiple use stick called Orgasm, and a lip pencil~ I can’t wait to try it out.

  • Cherrie

    I went to Lush and picked up some Smitten hand cream. Love me some Smitten! But the SA told me it’s being discontinued?!?! So sad.

  • Jessi

    Oh man, I spent waaaay too much this weekend. I bought Bobbi Brown Black Chocolate lipgloss (I know its super sheer, but it was an impulse buy when I tried it on at the counter and loved it), Black Cocoa eye shadow and Black Sparkle eye shadow. Oh! Also from Bobbi Brown I got the Crystal Eye Palette. From Sephora I got NARS Orgasm pressed blush and the Sephora Glitz and Glam Deluxe Sampler. And from the drugstore I bought 3 Revlon Super Lustrous lipglosses. I LOVE these glosses. I like them as much as MAC Cremesheen glosses- which are my favorite of all time. Oh, I also bought a hair straightener. Whew. And I wonder where my money goes…

    • the Muse

      what do you think of black cocoa jessi? BV was too blackened for me! I was so pissy about that ;-D Yay for crystal eye palette w000t! Damn girl you went crazy this weekend ;D NICE wear in health!

  • chelle

    laura mercier creme smooth foundation in sunny beige

    i LOVE it! i dont need a brush or sponge to put it on (i swear it goes on so much better if you use your fingers) so it’s great if youre in a huge hurry. no breakouts so far 🙂

    • the Muse

      damn so jealous chelle I want to try the new creme smooth! looks lovely!
