Musings of a Muse

Josie joins the ranks of Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown with her new Argan Gentle Exfoliating Powder. Winter is well on the way so I’m all about shopping new exfoliating products.

Josie Maran Argan Gentle Exfoliating Powder is a new finely grained powder that you activate using water and developing into a paste. Interestingly enough, I’ve never considered this, they suggest using it with Josie’s Cleansing Oil. Mixing the two together will creating an exfoliating cleanser! I gotta try that with my Bobbi Brown Scrub!

I wanna try this one though as it’s infused with Argan….! Damn Argan, it’s in everything nowadays.

Rodial has joined the realms of BB Cream with their new BB Venom Skin Tint Beauty Balm. Good name, as at the moment, Korean and Japanese brands are on a snake venom kick. Several months ago it was snails but right now snake venom is the order of business in BB Creams and skincare.

No deep lines yet but Philosophy Deep Fill Fix Instant Line Filler will be on my wishy list should they develop. I absolutely love what the Philosophy Miracle Worker products have done for my face so I’m all about anything else they create lately.

Philosophy Deep Fill Fix Instant Line Filler ($34) is an instant deep fill fix and longer-term wrinkle smoother according to the brand. This targets and provides long term benefits for lines and wrinkles, laugh lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.

The velvety, flexible formula instantly fills in and softens the appearance of lines, while light-diffusing technology leaves skin with a soft-focus finish. A unique botanical complex helps support natural collagen and elasticity for long-term improvement of wrinkles.

P.S. Has anyone played Sims Supernatural yet? I haven’t had a chance to install it! It’s been sitting on my desk for weeks.

The new Lancome Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activating Concentrate ($68) is terribly tempting even though Lancome has come under FDA fire recently due to the fact that advertisements for Genifique claim to “boost the activity of genes” and “stimulate cell regeneration to reconstruct skin to a denser quality.”

ABC reports that the FDA sent a letter to Lancome to tone down their description of Genifique.

It’s ok Lancome, I forgive you and I still want your new Lancome Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activating Concentrate because I’m betting it’s fantastic.
