Musings of a Muse

It’s today, it’s today.

The new Tarte The Miracle of Maracuja Collection premiered on QVC early this morning. Some of you have taken full advantage of the set and have it in your greedy hands already.

What do you think so far?

The value of $60 for eight full pieces is quite a bargain particularly if you’ve never tried Tarte before. The set is also available on an auto delivery option which seals in the $60 price tag and allows you to get two more sets (in different seasonal shades) sent to you automatically in the next few months. If you missed my post, I already have images available of the sets that will follow after your first order just click here to view them.

Let’s take a look!

I’ve whipped out my Jerry Garcia tie dye t-shirt, slapped on some Hendrix (it was a debate between Joplin and Morrison classics but Hendrix won out for this post), and got out Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Woodstock.

This is the 60′s life baby.

Woodstock is one of three full size shades added to the 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil catalog for Spring 2012.

Take a look at it and the other shades.

As you know Physicians Formula has two new variations of their Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trios available. We took a look at the Nude variation last week and today I thought I’d swatch up the Smoky Eyes set.

Take a look!

L’Oreal has introduced a new eyeliner for Spring 2012 that is available now at drugstores. This one is a traditional kajal style liner which creates thicker or thinner lines with a longer point.

I have a theory that Wet n Wild rushed along their success a little too quickly. Last year, they came out with not only an outstanding Holiday Collection but also some very key catalog items that proved incredibly good for a lower end drugstore cosmetic brand.

This year, they made some valid attempts to top themselves but so far I’m not entirely impressed with the LE offerings particularly ones they released for the Holidays.

Let’s take a look at the Wet n Wild ColorIcon Eye Kit for Holiday 2011.

Physicians Formula has two new Shimmer Strip Eyeliner Trios available one of which is available in Nude Eyes which is a selection of nude, natural shades of color. I automatically I assumed the colors would possibly lean towards shimmering shades of beige or nude but actually 75% of the set is made up of browns and blacks.

I’m not partial to these eyeliners even though they get rave reviews across the board but I wanted to purchase and swatch these for reader’s interested in seeing what they looked like.

I admit that sometimes I get a little case of makeup burn out, hey, it happens to the best of us cosmetic junkies right? But damn I had a really fun time playing with the Sleek Makeup Berry Collection for Holiday 2011.

Imma tell you, it’s not the easiest makeup to pull off due to the vibrant, bold shades of berry but with a little patience you can create an outstanding look for the Holidays using this three piece set.

Take a look!
