Musings of a Muse

Hey lovies!

The Muse happened to be in Sephora a few days ago and had a peep at the new Philosophy makeup display.   Remember how they used to have the skincare against the wall and the shower gels kinda hanging out in a middle rack?  At least that’s how mine had it.  Anyway…..it’s still like that but now they have an entire display for the cosmetic line.  I thought this was rather exciting as I’m hopeful it means good things are coming our way from Philosophy.   They really seemed to pay special attention to their color cosmetic line this Fall so maybe they’ll consider releasing more items next season.

Anyway!

‘Nuff of my babblings. How about a Philosophy review to celebrate?

Ahhh the moonlight, isn’t it terribly romantic?   A touch on your face creates an instant highlight and a beautiful finish.  How can we bottle up the moonlight for our faces?

With Philosophy the Supernatural Moonlight!  Instant traces of a luminous glow for your cheeks and face all bottled up with a sponge applicator for easy application.

Loves it!

With names like Chinatown Chase and Chinatown Thriller the Muse can’t help be tickled by the Lipstick Queen Chinatown Glossy Pencil.  Seriously, I’m a total grindhouse movie geek and the names just reminds me of some cheesy little flick that features chases through Chinatown in beat up Monte Carlo Chevrolets with hot chicks at the wheel and possibly bad dubbing.  Bad dubbing always makes grindhouse movies the awesome doesn’t it?

If hot chicks are involved in I’m betting they have juicy, glossy lips and who knows maybe they are reaching for Lipstick Queen Glossy Pencils to do the job up good.

Take the jump to watch this grindhouse movie unfold.

You know Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes was so not enough. We absolutely now need in our lives Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Effet Extension Mascara. You know…bigger, better, more awesome lashes……loves it right?

For Fall, Givenchy has released their brand new improved formula in four shades for the risque mascara user who likes to bat color lashes at the world. Ok, if you’re boring you can bat your black lashes at the world (it comes in black too!).

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to mattify your skin.   Indeed, you don’t want your friend using your shiny forehead to apply lipstick do you?   Around this time of the year the Muse drops to her knees in thanks as her oily forehead begins to dry up thanks to the cooler weather.

But fact of the matter is, it’s been a rather hot few days and I’m back to my ever oily forehead.  So not cool.

Solution?

Been testing out The Body Shop Matte It Skin Primer this week to see if it can combat the shine.

MAC you excel at so many things but why do you continue to fail in the mascara world.  The Muse hasn’t yet met a mascara from MAC that she actually liked.

Ugh.

Your new MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara has one incredible factor about it but it doesn’t make up for the other woes it causes.

Jump ahead for my take.
