Urban Decay Fireball Eyeshadow ($18) is one of several new Urban Decay Eyeshadows that launched with the Summer 2015 Collection that will be added to the permanent collection. Urban Decay Fireball Eyeshadow is exciting for those who love duochrome eyeshadows.

Duochromes always confuse me slightly as they have such a huge cult following but I’ve never been a particularly big fan of the finish myself. Maybe I’m boring but I just like my eyeshadow to reflect one shade and one shade only.

But if you’re up for unique, I’m positive Urban Decay Fireball Eyeshadow will thrill you as this one has a lot of different things going on!

Salvatore Ferragamo Emozione Eau de Parfum Review

in Fragrance, Fragrance Reviews, Muse Approved

Salvatore Ferragamo Emozione Eau de Parfum is a new multifaceted fragrance that plays on fresh floral notes combined with sultry, sensual woodsy ones to create a truly unique, sophisticated perfume that’s refreshingly unique in a sea of youthful fragrances. This one is all about maturity and elegance!

When it comes to fragrance I’m all about juvenile blends. I like fruity, I like sweet, I like foody….! My “grown up” fragrances are far and between! But ones that strike a chord within me end up being long time favorites and they come out to play when I’m feel like being a grown up!

Salvatore Ferragamo Emozione is such a fragrance which evokes utter sophistication

Becca Beach Tint Lip Shimmer Souffle ($24) arrives just in time for the warmer weather ahead! I remember when Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffles launched last year and how excited I was about them. Let’s face it, they looked AMAZING in promo images. Sadly, for me personally, they did disappoint! Bit to sheer with lots of shimmer but not enough color for this girl!

So I do have high hopes for Beach Tint Lip Shimmer Souffle and in the same thought I’m whispering, “Please don’t disappoint me!”

Did you miss out on the MAC Stroke of Midnight Cinderella Eyeshadow Palette? It sold out as fast as the Target Lily Pulitzer Collection did.

It’s not a dupe but if you missed the opportunity to own the MAC Cinderella Eyeshadow Palette perhaps the cheap as chips Forever 21 Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette ($5.90) might appease your lemmings for a brief, hot flash of a second!

They kinda look a little similar don’t they? Shrug! Not MAC Cinderella but hey, sometimes you gotta make due! 🙂

Grab it now at Forever 21 or online at forever21.com.

Korean beauty and makeup continues to dominate the western market at the moment with the launch of Touch in Sol at Sephora. I have a very few odd pieces from Touch in Sol that I’ve never actually reviewed on Musings of a Muse as it’s one of the few K-brands I don’t follow!

None the less I thought it deserved note how the Touch in Sol Feel Like Honey Moon Skin Base looks SO much like the new NYX Honey Dew Me Primer right?
