Musings of a Muse

A few years ago I purchased Laura Mercier Brightening Powder and hated it. Honestly, this stuff was pointless to me. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I ended up not liking it at all.

Flash forward a year or so later and it started to become my right hand lady to use in conjunction with my concealer. Go further forward and Bobbi Brown’s Concealer Palette had a similar white powder which became a fast friend of mine.

And finally present day you’ll find me toting around Skin Food Salmon Dark Circle Powder, it’s my HG (holy grail).

Moral of the story? I’ve gotten older and appreciate brightening powders in a major way. They not only set concealer but they really do brighten up the eye area and create a more flawless finish under my eyes. Granted, in my opinion, if you’re younger you might not experience the same results but if you’re in your late 20′s, 30′s or older, a brightening powder is essential to have in your beauty arsenal in my opinion.

Most recently Sofina Aube Couture Designing Highlight crossed my path. I’m a fond fan of Japanese brand, Aube, so I was all about trying out their brightening powder….

And sometimes there are those of us who want and expect a little bit more from our lip gloss. Shiny, a glossy finish, and color are simply not enough for greedy types like you. You want more, more more!

Ok, I can give you more well Korres can actually be responsible for giving you more with its new Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick. It’s a lipgloss, it’s a lipstick, it’s BOTH!

It’s pretty damn weird how much of a glutton for punishment I am. I truly do not love the Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Double Mists but I keep coming back for more every time they release the bloody things.

It’s such a weird and unusual compulsion to sniff and sometimes buy every new Beauty Rush product that gets released. I can’t stand the Double Mists because they are so slick and greasy feeling but go back for more I do….

Ask anyone and they’ll tell you Halloween is my most favorite Holiday of the year.
Seriously, who needs Christmas and Santa, when we can have Halloween and the Great Pumpkin!

To get me into a seasonal kinda mood I’m all about the Bath and Body Works Fall Collection 2010.

Carmel apples, creamy pumpkin, black licorice, oh my!
