Musings of a Muse

Torrid is having a buy 1, get 1 50% Off sale today and they just listed two incredible Betseyville Purses/Totes. I normally find her bags obnoxious but I couldn’t resist ordering these two! They’d make a cute gift for someone if you’re stilling look for something for a friend.

Speaking of great deals…

My new favorite gift set, Tarte Maracuja Lip Scrub and Maracuja Lip Whips! So delicious for my dry winter lips.

You need it!

After blogging a few years, Holiday Collections tend to run all together. Seems like brands get more and more repetitive each year with their special sets, palettes, and collections.

Not Tarte.

They had a winning Holiday Season as far as I’m concerned and to add even more joy to their Holiday Collection they released a completely revised version of their traditional “Jewelry” palette.

This year, Tarte’s Starlet Makeup Vanity took an entirely different path and introduced a selection of great shades arranged in such a way that application was a snap and packaging was so beautifully it made us sigh in delight.

Did you purchase this one?

Jump!

My kingdom of makeup for the DuWop Crush 3 Eyeshadow Palette.

I loved the original DuWop Crush Trio that was introduced 100 years ago so you can imagine my utter delight that DuWop has taken the idea and times it by three and came up with not three, not six, but nine shades of shadow in three trios housed in one palette.

Joy!

Santa is so gifting me this one and throw in the DuWop Venom Carousel too for good measure why dontcha?

I’ve been naughty nice all year!

I have alot of favs from Holiday 2011 but I gotta say the Napoleon Perdis Luxe Mega Palette Desk to Dusk is my absolute favorite! I didn’t expect alot from this little palette but it delievered in a major way!

This one you NEED!

Jump!

Lavshuca is one of several brands under Kanebo. The brand is set apart by its princess-y packaging. I’ve always been a rather big fan of the brand but some of the product releases became repetitive so I hadn’t purchased anything from the brand in a while. I try not to miss their LE, special releases for the Holidays although they have changed considerably in recent years from really pretty palettes to coffrets that focus on eyes or lips, etc….

This year, their “coffret” spotlights cheeks with a cute set that includes a blusher and kabuki.

Let’s have a look!
