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.

    Nice! I was just about to ask you, what are you planning to buy during the sale 🙂

      • Biba

        Sadly, I’m just watching. Not from the US, boo.

        But a very kind blogger will get me some Tarte goodies 🙂

        • the Muse

          aw I’m glad someone is getting you some goodies Biba! Don’t loose hope maybe Sephora will do something for Canada customers soon!

  • CK

    bahh humbug, i had the lipfusion in my cart and it sold out when i wavered 🙁 i figured someone was out there telling ppl to get it

  • Aretsuya

    Hi Ms. Muse! I was just checking out Sephora and I’m totally stealing Tokidoki’s keychain and kaiten zushi mirror. (For $4 and $12 respectively, they’re finally going to be mine!) Also, Philosophy’s Supernatural Coloring Book is $12… I read your review and it seems nice, but I don’t know if it’ll complement my awkward Filipina skin (it can’t make up its mind whether it wants to be Asian or Pacific Islander-ish). Anyway, let us haul away!!!!

    • the Muse

      ALL great recs and suggestions aretusya ;-D I almost forgot about the tokidoki mirror ;-D and I love that nude coloring book! I hope it works for you girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Haul-a-day!

  • Freddie

    I originally put the HK set in my cart but after seeing how small the brushes were in videos, I took it out. I’m still not sure what I want.

  • Sara

    Are the Fusion balms back up? I checked back when the huge markdown was mentioned and they were fresh out. I quite like them, waxy flavor aside, and wouldn’t mind a few more.

    • Sara

      Balls. Just checked and all they had in stock was clear. 🙁 I was hoping for Bitten and Buff. Ah well. I heard a rumor the Sephora in JCP stock would be marked down to 80% off at some point….maybe I’ll score there.

    • the Muse

      they were for a second there….keep checking ;-D I saw three shades in stock!

  • Cj

    Ooh the foaming purity made simple is on sale! That’s my new go-to cleanser :D!

  • Sarah

    man I hope things don’t sell out before I get paid tomorrow. i will be the one up at 1am on the sephora website lol

  • Lulubelle

    I just tried to checkout at Sephora and there was a technical gltch and my order did not go through. Then I couldn’t get back in – must be a lot of volume on the site right now 🙁

    I hope when I try to purchase again that the site doesn’t think I tried to use my code twice. Was going to get the Philosophy Spring Has Sprung set, Exfoliakate, and the Urban Decay 24/7 shadow pencil set.

    • the Muse

      def lulu, site won’t even load for me! keep trying! Good luck! if you have another email address you can use it to get a second code hun!

  • Lulubelle

    I just checked my bank account and the order did go through (in spite of all messages to the contrary)! Good thing I checked before trying to replace the order.

      • Lulubelle

        I just called Sephora because I had a feeling that even though my bank account had been charged, my order had not gone through at Sephora. I was correct. Now the Philosophy set has sold out. She said I could replace the order, but that would mean there would be two charges on my bank account, until the first one cleared (up to 7 days). So, that sucks. She also said that they were experiencing problems with EVERYONE”S orders, although I don’t know what that means. I will wait a week and then order.

        Note to self: Do not try to shop the first day of the F&F sale in the future.

  • Boone

    Holy cow, it’s about 1:00 Central time and Sephora’s website is totally overloaded. This, my friends, is EXACTLY why they tell everyone that F&F is canceled (or only for actual friends and family)–all of that anger and outrage and disappointment gets people so worked up that when we find out we will be able to get 20% off after all, it feels like winning the lottery, and we end up buying more than we would have if it were just another annual sale on the calendar. Sephora is a marketing genius! 🙂

  • Amanda

    That Kat Von D palette is a good one – anyone on the fence def should pick it up with the code!

  • BooBooNinja

    I’m thinking of getting the Sephora Favorites Lashstash. I like the idea of being able to try many types of mascara, and the small size is good for me because it’s less to waste (don’t often finish a mascara within 3 months). However, I don’t know how many are waterproof… I have stubby, straight Asian lashes.

    Does anyone have thoughts on this? Is it worth it?
    I’ve never tried these mascaras.

    • the Muse

      I have it but haven’t actually tried it yet cx sorry 🙁 I haven’t even swatched the darn thing! jeepers I’m behind!

  • amelia
