Musings of a Muse

Yes, it’s true the “Kose Buys Tarte Cosmetics” rumors are indeed true. WWD announced yesterday that Japan’s Kose company has purchased a 93.5% stake in Tarte Cosmetics.

You might recognize the Kose name from brands like Visee, Cosme Decorte, Softymo, Happy Bath Day, etc….all Japanese brands I have featured and reviewed on Musings of a Muse before.

Kose actually purchased a majority of the company including Tarte’s founder Maureen Kelly’s shares.

It’s officially Spring in a few days kids! So I thought I’d pick out a few Spring Makeup Pick Ups for at or under $10 bucks for ya! These budget friendly picks up give your skin lightweight coverage for a fresher, natural Spring look with pops of sparkling peach and bronze for your face as well as lightweight blush and a hint of aqua for your eyes.

And of course the best part is they are all under $10 bucks.

Likey!

Truly it’s been the season of the blush this year and there are a slew of new blushes for Spring 2014 to choose from. Brand new shades aside there are also brand new blush products as well which is always exciting.

I happen to be a massive fan of eyeshadow palettes. I love collecting them, I love when my favorite brands release them, and I love using them. But outside of palettes I am most definitely a blush girl! It’s one of my favorite makeup items.

This year several brands have created new shades in your favorite formula and Clinique made a might be splash with their new Cheek Pop Blushes.

Here’s a round up of some of the newest blushes for the Spring 2014 season.
