Musings of a Muse

Matte, a punishable finish if ever there was one especially on lips.

I can’t personally pull it off but if matte’s your bag baby and you’re on a budget the new E.L.F. Studio Matte Lip Color might lighten up your life.

This chubby little pencil is $3 bucks and has an easy to use twist up design with a formula that’s rich in Vitamin A, C & E plus a promise of a texture that moisturizes and hydrates lips with a matte finish.

Shades Available:

• Coral
• Natural
• Tea Rose
• Praline

With a shade line up like that looked like they knew not alot of us would be interested….

I WOULD however dig a formula like the one the Clinique Chubby Sticks sports, I’d totally buy a three buck variation! Get on that E.L.F.!

E.L.F. Studio Matte Lip Color are available at www.eyeslipsface.com

I gotta admit, the coral was kinda rockin’ when she swatched it in the video.

As far as I’m concerned a tin of Rosebud Salve is the Solution to Life, the Universe, and Everything but maybe the real key is Apple Rose Salve!

Bit sensitive? Wanting to avoid parabens and other harmful ingredients?

First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Restore Cream is for you!

This multi-action, anti-aging moisturizer is safe even for the most sensitive formula and helps prevent and combat the signs of aging while moisturizing, nourishing, and protecting your skin.

I’m wondering if it’ll be a nice daytime moisturizer as I haven’t yet discovered a nice lightweight anti-aging formula for daily use.

Available now from www.Sephora.com

I used to have a severe aversion to cream eye shadows. I really love them now but needless to say I avoided them like the plague a while back ago and would you believe, total senior moment, I can’t recall why I hated them so much.

It puzzles me as I really enjoy the texture and look of a good cream shadow nowadays.

How odd.

Philosophy Divine Color Long-Wear Creamy Eye Color is a brand new color cream shadow from Philosophy. The colors are way appealing and the formula looks rather spot on too!

Let’s take a look!

Prada Infusion de Rose is the latest edition to the Infusion collection.

One of my signature notes is Rose, I absolutely adore a good rose scent so I’m quite excited to see how Prada handles it.

For their new Infusion de Rose they take soft feminine notes of fresh rose metals and mingle it with tea, honey, and crushed mint leaves.

Here are the official notes for the blend:

• Rose from Bulgaria & Turkey Familiar yet unique, the feminine note of Rose brings a subtle
• depth and sumptuous femininity to the fragrance.
• Italian Mandarin The Sicilian citrus note of Mandarin adds a light, sparkling freshness.
• Peppermint Like fresh mint leaves crushed in the hand, refreshing Peppermint brings a clean aspect to Infusion de Rose.
• Brazilian Mate South American Mate leaf brings a smoky rich green aspect to the scent.
• Beeswax from Laos A full, warm note of Beeswax reminiscent of honey completes the fragrance

It sounds rather captivating doesn’t it? Particularly the use of mint!

I’m quite eager to try it.

Prada Infusion de Rose Fragrance launched on Friday and will be available from NeimanMarcus.com and BergdorfGoodman.com
