Musings of a Muse

There’s nothing else I love more than Benefit Boxed Powders so I am utterly delighted that all my favorite shades of powder are getting their own shade of lipgloss this Summer in the form of the new Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss.

I’ll take ‘em ALL!

Going matchy match with my blush and my gloss? Abso-freaking-lutely!

I dunno if you know but Benefit is taking everything we love about their boxed powders and injecting it into their new Ultra Plush Lipgloss.

Yup, Dandelion, Coralista, Bella Bamba, Sugarbomb and more are all getting their very own matching lipgloss this Summer!

And if you’re ANYTHING like me you’re going to want them all.

So don’t settle for one, get four with the new Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss First Class Set.

I dunno how keen I am on a product that multitasks not only on my mouth but on my nipples as well. Yeah, you read that right, nipples. Did you just snort like a 14 year old boy? I know my inner teenage boy loves it!

Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips is a natural, rich long lasting moisturizer and gloss all in one.

Take a look because nipples aside, it sounds freaking amazing!

I’m a huge sheet mask freak, I overly use and abuse them. When my skin needs a little break from sheet masks, I’m rushing around and need a quick pick up, or I just want to concentrate on specific dry areas of my face I reach for Kose Clearturn Deep Moist Essence in Cotton.

These incredibly useful little cotton pads are saturated with essence and inject just the right amount of hydration into skin.

Loves ‘em!

I decided to get a little experimental with my mascara this morning and combined the new Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara along with Too Faced’s Flexistrech Nylon Lash Fibers.

Seriously, Too Faced needs to rethink the marketing on their Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System because I’d totally over indulge in the Nylon Lash Fibers if they sold them separately. I’ve pretty much completely run through these because I use them with every single mascara I own rather than just sticking with the mascara that Too Faced has included with the system.

They are the bomb dot comb people.

So if you’re listening Too Faced, we want more Nylon Lash Fibers!

Let’s take a look and see how well Too Faced played with Maybelline.

The recently launched CK One Makeup Collection is proving disappointing for me thus far. How are you feeling about it? I was curious about their Water Fresh Face Makeup. As a dry skin type putting water and fresh in the name of a product instantly gets me excites me.

CK One’s CK One Water Fresh Face Makeup is a creamy foundation product that quite reminds me of Urban Decay’s Surreal Skin Cream to Powder in not only formula but packaging as well.

I recently reviewed Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream for you so I thought today I’d drag out the Skin Food Gingko Green BB Cream for a little swatch and review.

Since the two formulas are fairly similiar I do suggest choosing either one or the other but not both. That’s just my opinion though, you can of course indulge in both if you like but I find they are along the same formulas. I did want to review this anyway though since I enjoy using Shade 2 in the Aloe Sun version and didn’t have Shade 1 to swatch for you however in the Gingko Green formula I had indulged in Shade 1 so this is a good excuse to see the difference between the two if you refer back to my original review.

Let’s have a look!

Surf, sea, sand…how does one capture the essence of the beach in a fragrance? I wouldn’t know but the new Charlotte Ronson Perfect Touch Rollerball Oil manages to grab beach chic and places it into a classy little roll on fragrance.

Endless days at the beach, sun drenched moments, the crisp ocean air…Charlotte Ronson’s Perfect Touch fragrance evokes those hot Summer moments in her first ever fragrance.

You might be concerned with dark spots on your face but how about your hands? Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF15 is interested in your hands not your face.

With dark spot treatments trending in a major way for the last year or so you’ll see plenty of brands competing with each for the best treatments to correct this issue.

Of course, sooner or later we all realized it would branch out to something else right?

Clinique’s Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream is the first formula of its kind to treat and protect the skin on your hands.

Yeah, yeah I’m still busy punishing myself with the evil, dry formula of Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick. I can’t help myself. They keep putting out these killer shades that I have a hard time saying no to, cut a beauty junkie a break, it’s a jungle out there.

I recently reviewed my kinda sorta HG (holy grail) color of choice at the moment from the Maybelline Color Sensational Nude and Natural Collection, Cinnamon Stick.

At the time that I purchase Cinnamon Stick I also snatched up Tinted Taupe which I’m loving it as well….

But Y U have such a rubbish formula Color Sensational?
