Mid-Range Brands

I’ve never been entirely sure if Goldie is distributed by Bath and Body Works, or labeled and owned by Bath and Body Works.
The packaging is ultra cute and girlish and every single time I’m in Bath and Body Works I always wonder over to the display to look at the items they have.
For some odd reason or another I’ve never purchased any of it. Maybe I’ve been burned too many times with cute items that don’t work which accounts for me not shelling out the bucks for some of the goods!
I’ve no idea really why it’s never ended up in my cart. Even during the semi-annual when they are giving stuff away for practically free none of the Goldie line makes it’s way into my cart!
Anyway!
The moral of today’s story is Goldie has some rather cute exclusive items out that are Disney themed! So if you happen to adore Tinkerbell or Alice and Wonderland you might want to check out some of Goldie’s new line at Bath and Body Works!
Some of the items are a bit too childish to appreciate but some are redeemable and usable if you fancy Disney!
I’ve no idea on the quality of these cosmetics but I think it’s safe to say it’s cute packaging alone minus good content. But I could be wrong! You never know! My prediction is they’ll end up on sale at the end of Spring or Summer for 2 for $5 or some other obscenely low price! Count the Muse a skeptic! Even cute can’t sway me sometimes!
The Tinkerbelle Collection consists of the following items:
Tinkerbell Beauty Box $25 USD (Includes 5 Lipcreams and 4 eyeshadows)
Tinkerbell Lip and Nail Kit $30 USD (Includes Makeup Bag, Lipgloss, and Nail Varnish)
Tinker Bell Shimmer Powder Box $22 USD
Tinkerbell Nail Varnish $8 USD (Available in 4 shades)
Tinker Bell Shimmering Lipgloss $10 USD (Available in 4 Shades)
The Alice in Wonderland Collection consists of:
Alice in Wonderland Tinited Lip Balm $12 USD (Available in 4 Shades)
Alice in Wonderland Lipgloss $10 USD (Available in 9 Shades)
Alice in Wonderland Lip Condition $15 USD (3 Shades Available)
Alice in Wonderland Vanity Face Palette $35 USD (Includes 20 items to make up face, lips, and eyes!)
Alice in Wonderland Nail Varnish $7 USD (7 Shades Available)
Alice in Wonderland Lip Palette $15 USD

Guess what?
Sephora’s updated it’s site with it’s newest Spring Catalog!
The theme this year is “Beauty as Art” and I’m not particularly loving the cover art! However, model images on the inside definately look promising!
Sadly, the catalog for me is a disappointment which is no great surprise I guess. Most of what is featured we pretty much already know about and plus they have the standard stuff that they pimp constantly in the catalog like Benefit’s Bad Gal Mascara (Worst freaking mascara in the world!), Lash Injection (another loser!), and of course little bits of Sephora stuff is littered through (It’s their catalog so I guess they have to pimp some of their own line right?) like lipsticks, shadows, the brush selection etc…..
It’s a snore for me which is good news as I’ve dropped plenty on Japanese Spring Collections this Season so money saved!
Check out the catalog yourself by clicking here!
Loving the newest Catalog?
As bored and snored as the Muse?

A new Stila Collection is available on the site this morning which is entitled Pon Pon Gerbera and centers around the Gerbera daisy!
The new collection is themed as an “Asia Exclusive” but as we know from the Christmas Collection that’s probably not the case at all.
However, the collection is very pretty and consists of a new palette, one new blush, a lipgloss, and a glitter liner!
As pretty as the collection is I wouldn’t run too quickly to purchase it as Stila has been having a crazy amount of sales lately and I’m positive within a few months these items will be greatly reduced!
Pon Pon Gerbera Palette $45 USD
Pon Pon Gerbera Blush $18 USD
Pon Pon Gerbera Lip Glaze $20 USD
Glitter Eyeliner in Purple Pink $18
From what I can tell the only repromote in the collection is the Glitter Eye Liner aside from that the rest of the items are newly released colors!
It looks like a nice collection but I can definately wait for a sale!
