Musings of a Muse

Bare Minerals Simply Irresistible is a new 9 Piece Color Collection for Eyes, Lips, and Cheeks for Holiday 2012. If you’re more of a traditionalist and aren’t really loving all the Ready pressed products that BE has recently been releasing you’ll absolutely love this set.

This takes us back to Bare Minerals as we originally know them, their loose format. The Simply Irresistible set contains essentials for a complete holiday look (or two, or three…) for as little as $49. Quite the bargain! Plus it has a must have shade of blush that you can’t pass up on if you love Bare Minerals Fruit Cocktail.

The Tarte Treat Yourself to Gorgeous Collection for Holiday 2012 is the QVC Today’s Special Value of the Day. I told you about this collection a few weeks ago and I’m sure many of you have been very eager to get your hands on it or maybe you already have!

The Holidays are all about generosity and Tarte has been more than generous with their Holiday 2012 offerings. The Treat Yourself to Gorgeous Collection is another display of that generosity as it’s a mere $49.98.

Stila introduced their Positively Pink Set for Breast Cancer Awareness back in October. You might recall the whimsical design of the palette as Stila introduced their Love at First Blush Palette in a similiar style. If you already own Love at First Blush you can still go ahead and indulge in the Positively Pink Cheek Palette as well since the colors are different.

The set comes with a 0.28 oz blush palette as well as a mini Stila Lipglaze in Splendor. It’s $18 but I used a 20% Off promo code and got free shipping as well so I felt like it was a nice little deal.

Korres has some fun picks for Holiday 2012 including their new Goddess Beauty Color Collection. This is a good excuse to pick the set up as it contains a full size Magic Light Contouring Trio. Released sometime ago the Magic Light Contouring Trio was one that I missed out on. It’s been on my wish list for a while but for some reason I never got the chance to try it.

Let’s take a look!

I recently purchased the new Khroma Beauty Au Natural Nude Lip Set at my local Harmons. As you know Khroma Beauty is the Kardashian’s new makeup collection.

Before I start my review I just wanted ask everyone to be a little kinder in the comments. I don’t really love deleting anyone’s comment but when I’m seeing stuff like “OMGZ I wanna punch the Kardashian’s in the face…!” I kinda feel forced to step in and delete the comment. I don’t love the Kardashian’s, I don’t watch their show, I don’t endorse them, I’m not a fan, etc…etc…However, I don’t think it’s fair to attack them “just because”. Seriously, who has the time to go around wasting energy on hating people you don’t even know? Chill, breath…don’t be annoyed by crazy celebs. You have better things to do with your time my friends

Now if you like nothing at all about these three girl’s that’s fine but you have to admit that there makeup is always flawless. At least I think so. One thing I’d really love to master is Kim’s nude lip look. One of my favorite nude glosses is Korres Cherry Lipgloss in Nude 33. That’s most definitely my perfect nude lip look! But the idea of actually achieving something as great as Kim’s nude lip look is mighty tempting which is why I picked up this kit.

Did it work?

Beauty budget brand, Essence, has created a Twilight Breaking Dawn 2 Collection to celebrate the release of the movie. This isn’t the first time Essence has embraced Twilight as they have had another collection inspired by the film.

I generally like Essence and although some of my fandom has cooled when it comes to Twilight I still like the overall idea of this collection. It’ll be a little tricky to locate as Ulta is the only US store I know of that sells Essence but keep an eye out for it in store.

I went to Ulta this weekend and they sadly, didn’t have the collection. I have my eye on the bright red blush that was released with the collection.

My other lemming? The Breaking Dawn Lipgloss which I was lucky enough to get a sample of!

The MAC Glamour Daze Holiday 2012 Collection features five shades of limited edition lipglass. I actually didn’t run across a shade I had to own from this lot but I’m heading to counter sometime this week to check out the other three that I haven’t yet seen in person.

I did get my hands on Talk Softly to Me and Flight of Fancy but unsure if you technically need either.

Take a look! Perhaps you’ll find a shade to love.

Do pick up the new L’Oreal Color Riche le Gloss in The Muse’s Shine. My ego demands you do because it does have my alias on it *blinks innocently*!
