Juliette Has A Gun Lipstick Fever Has Arrived But Will It Disappoint

Wanna smell like lipstick? Juliette Has A Gun Lipstick Fever has arrived! Juliette Has A Gun Lipstick is a new perfume and fragrance that arrives for Spring/Summer 2020 which includes notes of Iris, Violet, Raspberry, and vanilla to recreate the experience and scent of lipstick. Is it like Maison Martin Margiela Lipstick On or Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose? Probably. I find that most fragrances that are going for the lipstick scent experience will head into the realms of Guerlain’s popular iris and violet fragrance and this one goes heavy on both notes. It also contains notes of patchouli and and raspberry. I think the patchouli will play an important part in the fragrance and give it a certain dept when added to the iris and violet but the raspberry will likely be drown out by the heavier floral notes. The end result? It’ll likely smell like Guerlain Meteorites Le Parfum.

I have hopes I’m wrong about that though!

Masks, Hand Sanitizer, More for Nurses, Doctors, And Essential Workers

Hello world.

How ya doing out there? Staying safe, keeping well, and hopefully remaining ever always optimistic. I’m trying to keep some sense of normal on Musings of a Muse but it can be a bit tough at times.

I wanted to right a write a quick post and let you know that Masksheets has a variety of different face masks including KN95 Nanometer Respirator Face Masks which have five layers of fabric. There are differences between N95 and KN95 which you might want to read up on before a purchase. They also have hand sanitizer in stock. I can’t speak for the quality of the face masks (I’m also not an expert on face masks) or the sanitizer nor am I affiliated with Masksheets but I have ordered sheet masks from them before and they do ship quickly.

Also, Bath & Body Works has restocked hand sanitizer if you need it!

Keep safe out there!

The Fragrance I’m Gagging To Try!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

So, what’s on your fragrance want list at the moment? I recently did a blind buy of Ellis Brookyln Sweet during the Sephora Sales Event and it wasn’t quite what I thought it would be. I mean, it isn’t bad but it doesn’t live up to its name either! The notes include pear, ambrette and marshmallow but there’s also orris in the mix. I think the combo of ambrette and orris make it more of a masculine gourmand. I thought it would be a fluffier scent if that makes sense. It’s still lovely but yeah, not sweet by any means.

But I think I’ve found my next sweet fragrance and I’m gagging to try it. Should I blind buy it?
