Musings of a Muse

I spy with my little eye something new from Urban Decay!

Dare I say I’m excited about these little liners (when am I NOT excited by cosmetics right?).

I was adding things into my cart like a little demon earlier after hearing about the sale and I came across these new liners! Oh my the very my!

These come in the same bottle as the lip stain (which I dearly love by the very way!) that was released winter of last year. I’m duly impressed with the variety of colors they are offering in this nifty little liner! 12 in all it appears!

I do believe some of the colors promise sparkle too!

These be on the wish list maties!

My Better Late Than Never blog entry is being updated with the videos! Check back shortly and scroll to the bottom of the entry to see MuseTV’s latest video blog!

I’ve been very busy lately and updating my blog normally happens either really, really, really late at night, during brief pauses at work if I am even remotely lucky to have any, or in spurts here and there. Basically what you see written on any one entry takes me a day or more to complete because I’m so nuts with work and life in general lately

Reason I am telling you all this is I’m quite late displaying my latest Japanese Cosmetic Fall Haul! I got it ages ago and never had a chance to really take it out of the box and truly enjoy it aside from taking some pictures and doing a video of it AGES and AGES ago.

I know MANY of you have already been exposed to the new Jill Stuart palettes, pressed blushes, etc…but I like to keep my blog updated with all my latest hauls so here goes anyway Hopefully it isn’t too much of a snore!

Kose Airy Whip (The new love of my life! This could replace Purity for washing my make-up off in the evenings! It’s so light and lovely and removes all traces of my foundation, blusher, and eye makeup too!)

Crystal Lash Pearls (These are great! An inexpensive way to enjoy lash pearls! Work just as well as Givenchy’s Lash Pearls!)

Esprique Precious Gift Set (A real value! Tons of goodies for under $50)

Esprique Precious Gift Set Illuminate Nuancer (Could possibly be better than Meteorites! Oops did I say that out loud? )

Canmake Goodies (Canmake is the one of the few inexpensive cosmetics that the Muse has room in her heart for!)

Canmake Glitter Eyeliner Pencils (These are a bit to rough and hard in texture so hey may need to have a go under the hairdryer to soften them up prior to application)

Canmake Lipgloss (Pretty brilliant! First Japanese brand that actually made a flavored gloss hehe)

Canmake Glitter Shadow Trios

Canmake Metallic Eyes Shadow

Jill Stuart Brilliance Eyeshadow Palettes Fall 2007 (Both are gorgeous as you can see and the colors are surprisingly really nice! I was worried I’d never make any use out of these palettes but I’ve fallen in love)

Jill Stuart Pressed Blush Compact (Bit sheer but haven’t tried them on my face as of yet)

Jill Stuart Loose Powder Blush

Majolica Majorca Single Eyeshadows

Majolica Majorca Majex (This is going to work great during chapped lip season!)

Tiffa Goodies (In love with Tiffa! This is my first haul from Tiffa and I’m loving the gloss and shadow)

Tiffa Eyeshadow Duo

Gransenbon Blushes

Gransenbon Eyeshadow Palettes

RMK Shadows

RMK Cases

Excel Single Shadows (LOVE these! So much sparkle and shimmer!

Excel Mini Glitter Mascara

Sofina Compact Case Fall 2007 (Best compact introduced yet in my humble opinion!)

KATE Mascara Primer (Not entirely impressed with this yet! The fibers get caught in my lashes and are visible a bit which means I have to struggle to catch every fiber while applying mascara! Not sure I’m in love with this as much as I’d like to be!)

KATE Lipgloss

KATE and Lavshuca Super Sharp Eyeliner (Never seen a liquid liner with such a slim applicator!)

Some presents from my angel!

MuseMedia Presents: A Japanese Haul That’s Better Late Than Never!

Urban Decay’s Friends and Family Event is going on now! Good news for us all! This means we get 30% off our total order for the next four days!

I don’t really need to tell you what an awesome deal this is do I?

I’ve been in high debate whether to order the new matte shadows and I decided that maybe, this once, I’d skip! So I just got two boxes of the primer duo which was basically a steal with the 30% off!

Wahoo!

Use Code FFF30 or MYS1 to receive your discount and stock up! Especially on the Muse’s favorite primer
