Musings of a Muse

• Purchased

Released Winter 2012 the Lavshuca Dress Change Rouge was an intriguing lipgloss housed in what appears to be an IV bag, hells yes, I’m thinking of Aidan sinking his teeth into a blood bag. Oh you sexy thing. Actually anyone see that episode a few weeks ago with Sam Witwer sans his shirt? Dude, looked like he had man boobs, maybe it was the camera angle but I remember being terribly upset that his bosom was bigger than my own.

Wha?

Sam also happened to blow my “he’s a cute jock” theory completely out of the water recently when he appeared in Tabletop. Man boobs, Tabletop? Has hell frozen over without my permission?

Anyway………about that Lavshuca Dress Change Rouge.

I thought I’d revisit with MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator today considering MAC has now made it permanent. I’ve been waiting for Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator to be added to the general catalog for too LONG. Since the original launch, when it was packaged in a tub, I was in love with it.

And here we are several years later with new packaging and an endless supply we can easily get our hands on. Fond farewell to my hoarding away bottles of this stuff.

Bath & Body Works has launched a new scent entitled Sparkling Blackberry Woods.

This is a mix of sparkling blackberries, warm woods, creamy cocoa, and warm musk.

I’m not a fond fan of some of Bath & Body Works other “woodsy” blends so I’ll probably skip this. But it could potentially be cause for great excitement for those that enjoy fragrances like Twilight Woods, Cranberry Woods, etc…

It’s available in:

• Body Lotion
• Fragrance Mist
• Shower Gel
• Shimmer Mist
• Triple Moisture Body Cream

It’s launched in store as well as online.

If you sniffed it do share your commentary about it. Would love to hear. I must admit I wasn’t impressed with Forever Red so I’m kinda veering away from fragrances Bath & Body Works does lately. I’ll stick with candles, anti-bacs, and fragrance oils from them!

This is a long overdue post about the Etude House Princess Etoinette Holiday 2012 Collection. It launched a few weeks ago in Korea and was instantly on my lemming list.

I quickly dialed up a friend in Korea to grab it for me but haven’t had a chance to yet review it. But I did want to share some of the promo images that Etude House posted on their blog.

Next week I hope to finally review it for you!

Do love the Bath & Body Works Shea Infused Socks as last minute stocking stuffers! I admit, my feet are ALWAYS cold. Like iceberg, cubes of ice freezing cold. No matter what type of weather, no matter what season, I just have cold feet.

Cold feet warm heart though!

To pamper my cold feet I’m loving on these super soft socks from Bath & Body Works that are infused with shea butter. They keep my feet comfy and moisturize as I wear them. Dude, it’s the ultimate lazy girl’s guide to getting hydrated feet sans the work of actually using a lotion on your cold, tired tootsies.

Slip a pair in your favorite person’s stocking this season!

Available from Bath & Body Works.
