Adieu! Adieu! See You All Real Soon!

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow…..

I must bid you all farewell for a little bit. The Muse is shutting down shop and heading on vacation starting tomorrow and won’t be back until July 26th.

I hope during this time you’ll enjoy the archives on Musings and explore around a bit to see what posts you’ve missed in the past. Heck you have three year’s worth of babblings to look through!

I also have some killer giveaways going on right now which I hope you’ll enter! All are appearing right on the front page so you can scroll and easily click through them.� Please keep in mind while I’m away I am not spending time checking on Musings particularly because I’ll be in and around locations with limited access to the Internet so any comments you leave on giveaways will be moderated and posted when I come back plus hey I don’t really wanna spend time on my blog while I’m away on holiday hehe! I love it but I do like a break from time to time! That being said, I can’t answer every single comment but you ALL deserve a really big thank you for leaving such sweet, funny, and beautiful comments.� Comments are the biggest form of flattery to a blogger who works hard on their site daily and each of yours is highly valued!

I love and appreciate you all. Thank you for visiting me daily.� I can’t even begin to describe to you how much I adore each and every one of you even though we have never met (maybe one day if the fates are willing!).

I’ll see you really soon and I’m sure by the time I get back I’ll be diving right into Fall 2010 (and hell probably Holiday too!). Exciting!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Have fun, Muse! You deserve it, though I’ll miss your posts 🙂
    If we sign up for the RSS Feed tomorrow (after we’ve submitted our comment) will it still count towards an entry? Because I’ve been trying but the link is kind of faulty.

  • Bora

    Enjoy your time off Muse… I know you deserve every single second of it. Just a quick laugh for you when get a chance to read it…. I only went and bought Stereo Rose and Petticoat MSF today!!! I think I told you that I used to have loads of MSFs from years ago, never used any of them and sold them on eBay. I wasn’t going to go anywhere near the new In the Groove ones but I went by my local counter today to try the purple lipstick and there they both were sitting on the tester stand WITHOUT “sold out” stickers on them. Unbelievable. The collection launched on counters yesterday and has been online since Wednesday with Stereo Rose being sold out within hours. So I had to buy them just because it’s like seeing Elvis alive and not getting a picture isn’t it! I’m not going to keep them, but I’ll see which of my friends is dying for it the most and gift them (no I WON’T be eBaying them… bad karma). I;m more chuffed about the purple “Go For It” lipstick

  • Gip

    Hey Muse, I never really comment on your blog (or any other blog for that matter, I’m a real lurker) , though I’ve been following it almost religiously the half year or so. I just wanted to let you know that I really love your blog. Everything about it really. So informative, you update often, you have that quirky style of writing and you are always so sweet to your fans. If you ever give up blogging, I’m gonna be really upset. Fo’ serious.
    Take care, and enjoy your vacation. You really deserve it 🙂

    • the Muse

      hey gip sorry for the delayed reply and thanks so much for the incredible comment, it really made my day! 😀 Awwww NEVER I’ll be here, PROMISE! hehe! thank you very, very much, truly this made my day!

      I hope you’ll come out of lurkdom every so often to say hey from time to time 😀

  • Amy

    I too have been a lurker for a few months, but I just wanted to write and say I love your blog! I’m too poor to afford the stuff myself, but your detailed posts and reviews make me feel like I get to enjoy it nonetheless. And should I ever win the lottery, your suggestions will be the first things I purchase! Thank you for your hard work and I hope you’re having a wonderful vacation!

    • the Muse

      aw amy sorry for the delayed reply but thank you so very very much your comment means the world to me. xoxoxoxo!
