Musings of a Muse

MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm SPF 35 will be available in three shades as an online exclusive on August 16, 2012 at maccosmetics.com and is being added to the permanent collection on September 13th, 2012.

Take a look!

Summer is kinda sorta over but the Sephora + Pantone Universe Dazzling Lip Gloss Set heads into Fall 2012.

Released a few months ago the Sephora + Pantone Universe Collection was possibly one of the most incredible collections I’ve seen from Sephora in recent years.

Perhaps their new Dazzling Lip Gloss Set deserves a special spot in my stash.

I was sitting with my friend last night and he turned to me and said, “Summer feels over…” WHAT?! Dude…what do you mean?

I guess in a way he’s right. Particularly since the whisper of Holiday Collections is already on the horizon. Le sigh.

But never fear, rejoice in Summer joy with a little Avon Hawaiian Shores Eau de Toilette Spray. It’s so not going to make you feel like Hawaii, for that you need to grab your bikini and hop a plane but it does feel like a warm hug.

My sister happens to be the queen of blush sticks. If you want an autograph, let me know, I charge $5 bucks for ‘em and include a digital picture of her and her stash.

True story.

No seriously, girl, has every single blush stick known to womankind. It’s fairly comical because by some sort of random inheritance she’s kinda sorta into makeup because of me BUT she isn’t as diseased about it. She’s kinda…a hobbyist for lack of a better word. But when it comes to blush sticks, well, she’s a connoisseur.

So, of course, when I whipped out the new Jordana Color Tint Blush Stick she immediately came at me like Scott McCall during a hairy situation. There was possibly a shuffle, she may or may not have given me a rug burn in the process of wrestling me to the floor to get her hands on these, and I can’t confirm but a black eye or two might have resulted.

Yeah….

I guess she wants them.

I’m wearing L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Gleaming Bronze today. It was part of the L’Oreal Summer 2012 Collection and could or couldn’t be LE?

Hard to say really as these special displays really never say if a shade or product is limited edition. How irritating right?

As you know from my numerous rants I do have a little bit of a love/hate relationship with these eyeshadows but the formula is such a hit or miss that I feel this absolute need to collect them all.

Let’s see if you need Gleaming Bronze.
