Musings of a Muse

I apply lipstick in the morning and gloss but I tend to wipe it away as I sip my tea…so perhaps it sticks around on my lips for an hour? Two at the most…!

I’m very lazy touching up, for a beauty junkie you’d think I’d be a little more diligent retouching up my makeup as the day progresses, but I’m not.

Solution?

Beauty Fixation Pre-Filled Portable Swabs!

Hey chicklets!

A few beauty bytes that caught my eye on the Internet today!

• Pursebuzz is all a buzz about the NYX Lip Lacquer Pots I reviewed a few weeks ago!
• Christine gives the word on MAC Superglass!
• BellaSugar gives us 7 wonderful ways to prevent eye shadow creasing! Phew we need these tips with the warm weathering upcoming.
• Iman is looking stupidly flawless at the Met Gala and Afrobella gives us the deets how to achieve the look.
• Zara from Kiss and Makeup tells me I need to get some bling on my toes and I’m totally believing’ it!
• Thank God Supernatural is being renewed! Along with 90210, my shameful guilty secret because it’s so corny yet so good for some reason. But no word on Chuck yet….
• My favorite blog, Combom, gives us the deets on why time seems to be a bit mixed up.

It’s almost the weekend! Yay! I got some great books and I’ll be heading upstate late tomorrow afternoon for some fun in the sun at my Summer home and of course will make it down Sunday to see about spoiling my mum.

What are you up to?

Enjoy the beauty bytes!

Heyz! What’s going today for you guys? This is actually a pre-recorded post as the Muse is out shopping tonight and gathering stuff up for the first of many Christmas parties this year. My day was rather long today but I felt like I got a ton done so that’s great news as far as I’m concerned.

How about you?

I thought I’d do a little link loving of a few beauty bits that caught my interest and just other bits and bobs that had my eye.

Christine has me babbling and drooling myself every time she throws up one of those Scarlet Season posts of hers. I was never one for wearing red but I discovered a few reds that looked fab-o on me and every since I find myself seeking out red more and more. Her bloody Scarlet Season posts really have kill me. I find myself trying to slyly skip over them when I read her blog so my stupid wish list doesn’t get bigger. Stop please NO more red! I cannot afford it all!

Check out Temptalia’s Scarlet Season (Red Lips) Posts and enjoy some incredible festive shades of Holiday awesome.

My lovely friend E has the good word on Yaby Cosmetics and I’m hating all over her for it. I’ve had a Yaby Palette in and out of my freaking cart for months now. She hauled it hard with a great shade selection and I’m so jealous! Check out her swatches and review you’ll loves it, promise.

My lovely, gorgeous, absolutely patient with me friend whom I hardly ever talk to anymore (I love you Iris) has this cool post she did about the Balm being available @ Sasa in Singapore, that’s not the good thing, well it’s good if you’re in ‘pore but who cares if you aren’t right? The GOOD thing is she casually mentions that there was a big display of Shills! WHAT?! Oh my god I swallowed my tongue. Up until now I’ve only ever been privy to Shills within Taiwan but if it’s at Sasa in Singapore damn straight it might make it’s way to Sasa in the US. Dear Baby Jebus can we please has Shills on Sasa? The bad news is I’m betting it’s expensive as hell in ‘pore and the price will carry on to Sasa but still if I can get my hands on a big variety of Shills, I’m on it. Check it out!

Oh the non beauty front….

I follow Sarah Lane on Twitter but I haven’t really been up to date on reading her blog lately. Imagine my surprise when I read about her recent bout of scary with her health. It really saddened and scared me, get well soon Sarah, the Muse hearts you.

Getting my fix of K-D today I was reading about Lee Min-Ho making a few fan meet ups. I swear they so need to send him to the US in a pink leisure suit a la the Etude House commercials. I’d hit it or laugh….depends, the suite cracks me up.

That’s about the extent of my surfing today. I’ve been to busy with anything else to catch up on my Internet reading.

Enjoy the link loving!

I’m super busy this morning trying to get a ton of things cleared off my desk! Yak! I have a slew of comments to get through and will do so shortly, promise!

How are you this dull Tuesday? Looks like a storm is brewing outside my office window and I wish I could just go back to bed!

I’ll leave you with a little mid-morning Beauty Byte from the Muse’s mates at FabSugarUK!

Victoria Beckham is sporting an interesting new spiky cropped hair do and FabSugarUK has the photos to prove it!

I love it! It makes her look younger and contours her face quite wonderfully. Looks like she’s copying Katie this time instead of the other way around!
