Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

The British are busy, busy, busy in the BB Cream realm. They are the first to get many major drugstore brand BB Creams which I suspect, if we’re lucky, we’ll see either Fall 2012 or Winter 2012.

If we get lucky maybe we’ll even see them this Summer but I’m doubting that.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream should appeal to those who love the Dream Mousse Collection as this seems like something they’ll likely fit into that category.

Take a look!

Make Up For Ever Blush Y U Only Have a Few Shades Available?

Make Up For Ever Blush Summer 2012 New 22

Make Up For Ever is legendary for variety outside of MAC there aren’t that many brands that offer as vast a collection as MUFE. You can always count on them to release not 12 eyeshadow shades but 50 of ‘em!

Everything to they do is about variety and unique shades of color.

So I’m not completely understanding why their newly launched blush is only available in four shades?

Eh?

Am I being Punk’ed? If so can I slip Ashton a little tongue….just sayin’ don’t hold it against me now.

Did You Know You Can Get the Muse in Your Mailbox?

mail bag

Not literally…

Sorry, gone are the days that I’d wrap myself in bubble wrap and ship myself off to you, pop out of the box, and yell “SURPRISE! Let’s sit on the couch, paint each others nails, organize our shadows by shades, and watch Game of Thrones together!”

I’m getting old…I can’t be shipped out via mail as often as I’d like anymore. I might break a hip.

But you can get me in your e-mail box.

All my posts are generated daily and shipped off in a neat and friendly newsletter so you can click through at your leisure and see what’s new and happening at Musings of a Muse.

Click here to subscribe and each day you’ll get a little e-mail featuring new posts.

Nifty right?

Enjoy!

Revlon Photoready Cream Blush Review & Swatches

Revlon Photoready Cream Blush 99

Revlon Photoready Cream Blush recently launched with the new Revlon Escapism Collection for Summer 2012. There are three shades available but I’m unsure if Revlon plans to keep these on as part of the general catalog or if they are available for a limited time only.

I’m making the big assumption these shades might run for a limited time for Summer and perhaps later in the Fall they’ll do a range of shades that will become part of the general catalog.

I’m just throwing ideas out there though.

I’ve read a few reviews comparing them to Bobbi Brown’s Potted Rouge but really, I’d skip over reviews that recommend them as a dupe for that product as these are vastly different.

Let’s take a look!

MAC Fashion Sets Collection 2012

MAC Fashion Sets Collection 2

Lips and tips seems to be the trend of the season. Brands are embracing a matchy-match trend that pits gorgeous lip shades against matching nails of the same color.

I tend to play the match game with my eyeshadow and shirts all the time so why not nails and lips?

The MAC Fashion Sets Collection brings together Lipstick, Lipglass, and Nail Lacquer in an array of coordinating shades that are sure to please.

Musings of the Day: Hair Chalkin’ is a Trendin’ for Summer, Will You Be Checking It Out?

Hair Chalking

I’ve used Bloody Mary eyeshadow as hair chalk in the past because it’s fun for weekends but I can’t come into my office and see clients with a hot pink or orange streaks in my hair.

Sometimes I have to remember I’m a grown up.

Also, hair dye can damage hair terribly…so hair chalkin’ is such a great way to embrace the trend without killing your hair.

Good news if you like embracing funky fun trends with your hair, hair chalk is trending for your Summer looks!
