Musings of a Muse

Hi!

The Muse got her small haul of Beauty Powders from MAC Pro yesterday. She’s been too nuts at work to actually go in and grab them so she rang them up and paid the $7 to have them shipped to her home!

At the time the actual move of paying taxes plus the additional $7 for shipping seems to make the original price tag of $21 per powder a bit much!

However, she has good news, the powders are all that and a bag of chips and well worth the cost of shipping.

I’ll be reviewing these shortly for your reading pleasure! The good news is they are wonderful, the bad news is I only ordered two of the eight colors and now I am seriously wanting the rest!

Uh oh…

Stay tuned for the review and pictures!

If you need your Beauty Powder fix RIGHT NOW, Click on over to Temptalia and you can see swatches and pics of these great powders!

The Muse happened to scroll on over to Janice’s blog, the Queen of MAC in the Muse’s eyes.

And I’m gobsmacked!

Do have a peek and see for your very own eyes that Parrot may be making a reappearance soon!

*waits for the gasps and screams of excitement*

Alexander McQueen, a goddess in his own mind (and mine for that matter) brings to us a new MAC Collection.

Now you might be lemming this for several reasons such as the vibrant, eyepopping colors. The fact that’s it’s limited edition must also be tempting you and of course it has cute packaging details that also might put you in that “want” frame of mind.

But I think we can all be honest and admit that the reason we REALLY want the collection is for the coveted and long gone repromote of New Vegas Mineralize Skinfinish.

I can’t tell you how often I’ve searched on E-bay for a New Vegas and failed finding one that hadn’t hit the $60 or more mark upon auction end (Stereo Rose is another item I’ve failed miserably at locating for a price that didn’t include a contract for my first born child!)! The Muse sometimes has to give herself limits and purchasing a MSF for $60 or more dollars is one of her cut off points (however she has been known to sell an organ for parrot but that’s another story for another day)!

Well…girls…look no further New Vegas is back with a bang and we can all bow low to Alexander McQueen for it’s return!

Aside from the very exciting repromote of New Vegas I’d say we have quite a nice lot of goodies to look forward to with this collection and truly if you love awe inspiring shades this be the color story for you!

The colors look just perfect and not a doubt crosses my mine that they will be a nice little investment as well! These are bound to go up in price drastically after they are sold out so you can grab yourself a nice little piece of history here for it’s original, cheap price and next year you can laugh at all the n00bs who are searching their lemming out on E-bay and successfully finding ridiculously priced paint pots, MSF, and other yummie items from this color story! Although, the Muse highly recommends be nice and not laughing at the n00blets, after all, we were one ourselves at one time (as you can see the Muse has been playing far to much WoW and she’s reverted to leet speak! Do forgive her! She’ll be back to her beautified, non geeky self shortly. Well back to beautified not being geeky might not be possible!)!

The Muse says…GO YOU…GET TO THE STORE…and do purchase this collection! October 11th the Muse will bounce her way to her Nordie’s counter and give her monthly donation to the MAC counter so that she might have these wonderful, gorgeous goodies for her very own!

Happy Shopping!

Update: The lovely Marina from Make Up Loves Me just asked me where I had gathered my info from! And let me share, dear readers, with you, where I get the great updates on color stories! If you happen to visit the Specktra forum a lovely lady by the name of Janice puts alot of heart and soul into keeping the masses updated on all good things MAC! This is where the Muse gathers all the best info about upcoming color stories!

You can visit Janice by clicking over to either the forum or her blog at Specktra Blog.

Plump the lashes up with MAC’s newest mascara Plush Lash! Another story you can resist running to the store for as it’s part of the regular catalog of items.

I’ve tried various plumping mascaras and didn’t have great results but this does sound intriguing! The Muse is tempted!

Ahh…another day, another color story from MAC.

I’m not partaking of this color story but the sixteen vibrant, eye popping shades are tempting!

All are regular catalog items (no limited edition this time around) so don’t rush out to buy these as they’ll be around and available for a long while!

I hate you MAC.

That is all.

By the very way………

This is just SOME of it! How broke do you feel?
