Musings of a Muse

I think I was in the 8th grade when I first started watching 90210 and that was only because Luke Perry was considered crazy hotness in the 90′s.  I do know that I never quite got fully “into” it but only watched it a few times because I believe at the time my mum deemed it too racy or some such nonsense.

Anyway.

Moral of the story is I started watching the revamp of 90210 last season because I was trying to relive some part of my youth I suppose.  Turns out the show is a train wreck that I haven’t been able to keep my eyes off of since.  It’s awful.  The actors are all annoying, the story plots are absurd, and it’s complete cheese whiz…but I continue to watch for some reason.

This is getting rather long but I’m telling you this because have you so noticed that they went all budget on the show?   Like what happened to the parents?  They cut them out almost completely.  And Kelly?  Practically gone.  And the great big Hollywood home…finished.  90210 is getting the economy treatment if ever I did see it.  Thank god CW hasn’t cut down on Supernatural otherwise someone would have to hear me whine about it.

You know what else is getting economized this year?  Makeup!  But unlike 90210 that’s a good deal as far as this Muse is concerned.

Have I shared my love enough when it comes to Benefit Powders?  I own of ‘em all except for 10….dunno why I never got that one hmmm must gets it.

Moral of the story is if you haven’t tried any Benefit Powders, for shame on you, you can indulge in the new Benefit Powderazzi that’s releasing with the Benefit Holiday 2009 Collection.  It includes three of Benefit’s popular powders in one slick palette.

Likey, alot.

Since our economy tanked I’ve noticed I’m totally spoiled with spending less and getting more lately. The cosmetic deals in general are completely killer lately aren’t they? Everyone and their mum is packing up awesome steals and deals and slapping a super cheap price tag on it. The Muse finds herself looking at items and randomly shouting SOLD! really loudly when she sees a cool deal…ok, I don’t really shout it out loud but I’m normally very close to doing it.

This year Stila happens to give us more for less with it’s new Lip Glaze Collection for 2009. This is $25 bucks and includes 8 Stila Lip Glazes…can you say total cheapness?

Loves it!

Jump ahead for the deets!
