Musings of a Muse

Adios & Ciao Ciao are too of my very favorite TokiDoki characters. Could be my inner good goth, could be my obsession with the macabre, dunno but Adio just appeals! He’s such a darling little contrasting character that’s morbid and macabre yet kawaii and sweet! Who doesn’t love such a contrast?

That’s why the Tokidoki Adios Makeup Gift Set totally appeals plus Adios so deserves his own makeup collection don’t you agree?

The set is $98 and includes all full size TokiDoki Makeup plus an Adios Doll! Wants!

You get:

• Tokidoki Adios Vinyl Toy
• Tokidoki Fantastico Lip Ink in Peperoncino
• Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner in Sabochan
• Tokidoki Cromatico Eyeshadow in Killer Candy
• Tokidoki Prisma Gloss in Ciao Ciao
• Tokidoki Adios Frenzie Charm

And yes you can store all your goodies in Adios, he opens!

I must have him!

Available now from Sephora.

Sephora, Adios is lonely can we get a Ciao Ciao gift set too? Every good man needs his woman backing him up!

With so much chatter about Holiday Collections, I had almost forgotten that it’s still very much Fall! In honor of my favorite season I slapped on a little Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Sugar Skull this morning and proceeded to inhale deeply, reminding myself about all the good things that the Fall brings.

Sugar Skull happens to be one of my very favorite blends and I’m always so delighted when it makes its reappearance each year. If this is your first time reading about the Lab and their Perfume Oils I urge you to read my introduction so you can learn more!

Jump ahead to read my review on Sugar Skull!

Physicians Formula has a new Glam Collection Shimmer Strips Gel Eyeliner available for the Holidays. The collection features three new strips of Shimmer Eyeliner and three new mascaras. They break these up into eye color groups as in “select this color to flatter blue eyes”, “select this color to flatter brown eyes” and so on and so forth. I’m personally not keen on anyone telling me what flatters my eyes most as I’m of the mentality that anyone can wear any shade of color they choose. Granted some shades simply don’t work for me but most are a-ok and I don’t limit what I wear because I have brown eyes…..Just because I have brown eyes doesn’t mean I have to stick to wearing golds, browns, and black because Physicians Formula told me so.

Get my rant?

Aside from that the idea behind the product is interesting since it gives you not one, not two, but three gel eyeliners in stackable jars.

Good stuff?

Let’s see.

Best gift of the season?

Lush Matryoshka!

I purchased four of these darling girls and proceeded to tuck them away as gifts. Believe me, it was hard to do so because I just wanted to keep them all for myself but, my less than greedy side said I should really give them away to the people I love and adore. So they are in my closet at the moment in gift boxes addressed to others in my life who are sure to enjoy them!

Lucky enough I got one to test out recently and couldn’t be more happier because I think I was starting to hear whispers from inside the closet asking that I open at least one up and try it for myself.

What is it?

A traditional Russian nesting doll but with a bath time twist.

Check it!
