Musings of a Muse

Hidee ho!

Just a quick note, I’m very…very…….VERY behind on comments. I apologize!

On that note, let’s take a look at Caudalie Zeste de Vigne my new obsession. I’m a fruity sweet kinda girl, throw in a few foody scents too and I’m as happy as a clam. I like really sweet fragrances and in some aspects my fragrance preferences are somewhat immature.

However, there are times that I like more unique, unusual, and mature fragrances like Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien which is where Zeste de Vigne comes into play. This unique blend is one of three fragrances that Mathilde Thomas founder of Caudalie created which recreates the feeling of walking through her family’s vineyard at dawn, noon, and dusk.

Zeste de Vigne is inspired by a noontime stroll through the vineyard orangery, with the sun bathing citrus trees that delicately perfume the air with dazzling sparkles of tangy citrus, orange blossom, and lemon according to Mathilde Thomas.

For me, it’s bottled up sunshine with just the right touches of green!

Almay Wake Up Under Eye Concealer is a new concealer that promises to conceal and depuff. Is it me or does every single new concealer that comes out promise to depuff under eyes?

Maybe they read my blog and realize I need a little depuffing action. Honestly, they NEVER work though. They might conceal the puff but not treat it.

Anyway, I avoided this particular concealer for a while since it’s a squeeze tube with a brush application. No likey the packaging. I knew it would prove messy and I was right but I decided to give it a whirl anyway as that “wake up” bit had me….anything that wakes my eyes up or promises to ends up capturing my attention easily.

Bath and Body Works has mini Slatkin & Co. Halloween Candles for 3 for $5 at the moment. These are decked out in Halloween packaging and feature some great scents for Fall.

I picked these up in the mini size and was very tempted to grab up the large size as well. Too bad they don’t do them in a tart format as I’m more of a tart girl than a candle one.

I was tempted to light up as soon as I got home but I was good…after all, it’s still Summer for frak’s sake.

Take a peek!

Bath and Body Works has decked out some of its more “darker scents” in fashionable Halloween bottles for their new Halloween Collection. They have release four body mists in special Halloween packaging however the scents are not what I was expecting.

I guess they don’t think we can handle scents like Spider Cider in a mist?! But we can in a lotion? How odd!

Check ‘em!
