Oh Hai There!

Hey guys!

Just a quick note…

I know I’ve been a little MIA on Musings lately and haven’t had any new reviews in a bit. I’ve just been swamped and haven’t had a chance to swatch and take photos of all the new goodies I have to share with you! I have a ton of reviews in the works including a Snail Cream….OooOooo! Plus many Holiday Collections!

Just bear with me, I promise all the good stuff will be up soon!

Meanwhile, I hope you’re all doing great, had a fab weekend, and you’re enjoying all the Holiday coverage.

Feel free to say hey! in the comments! I’m a listening!

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‘.

    You can’t tell me what to do, Muse!

    Hi. 🙂 Hope you had a nice weekend too.

      • Sara

        Traveled out of town on Friday and now feel a bit under the weathers. Do you get sick every time you travel too? :\

        Oh, I also recorded a bunch of, and started watching, Bedlam last weekend. Did I read about it on one of your posts or twats? Feel like I did and that’s why it caught my eye while flipping through the channels at the beginning of the month.

        I am sooo looking forward to the snail cream review! Your teaser left me needing loads more info. :p

          I traveled to CA the week before and ended up getting a little bit of a cough but nothing too crazy since I was sick prior. everyone on that plane seemed to be coughing up a lung! ugh! Could be as I’ve been watching it too. 🙂 I was recommending it to a few people on Twitter!!!!!!!!! :-D!!!!!!!!

          Snail cream is…interesting ;-D should have a review today or tomorrow for ya ;D!

          • Sara

            Definitely seems like the sickies all travel at the same time as non-sickies then. ugh.

            So twatter was where I saw it! Ha! I was trying to remember. I be zombiiilove, twitted you my terrible cat photos (maybe I should’ve tried to take them in daylight) like some kind of crazy old lady. lol.

            Hope your site problems don’t keep you down! 🙂

          • the Muse

            mmmm so! every time I travel someone is hacking up a lung!

            yup that would prob be me tweeting away ;-D! I liked them, they came out ok ;-D so sweet! Aw thanks. Ugh nightmare lately with the apache to nginx conversion le sigh!

    One review I feel like I have been waiting forever to see is your thoughts on The Balm’s Cheater mascara. There was a short preview and a review to be posted “shortly”, but I haven’t seen it. Did I miss it?

  • BooBooNinja

  • Sheepy

    Hey muse! Your blog is my favorite, whenever I want to buy a new product I always check your reviews first! Haha 😀

    I need to rant to someone about the tokidoki arte palettes! Aigooo! I signed up to be notified when they are available, but they never snt me an email! Then I visited your blog an you talked about FF and that they available! I was like “omo, really?” so I checked they were out!

    Literally! Both “out” as in “released” and “out of stock!”

    Aigoo, I was waiting since you first announced it! I am sad now ;_____;

    • the Muse

      aw thank you sheepy <3! I noticed le sign so sorry about that I'm waiting too! Can't wait le sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁

  • Littlecreek81

    Howdy! Definitely looking forward to the reviews on what you’ve been trying lately. And why yes, I did have a fabulous weekend. I finished my halloween decorations (I carved a large pumpkin to look like a jail cell and put a smaller pumpkin in it, too cute), got my husband’s and my costume made for Phantom Feast on Friday, started the first Beautiful Creatures book and did my order for Sephora FF. I’m excited to get it because I got my very first Lip Venom. Should be interesting. Hope you’re finding time to have fun even though you’re busy!

    • the Muse

      omg love that idea littlecreek! I did a range of geeky pumpkins and of course the traditional “vomitting” ones lol! I may need to copy your idea next lear so fun! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY so fun ;-D particularly Beautiful Creatures! savor it, great read ;-D I’m great thank you for asking, it’s actually Halloween and such that’s been keeping me busy lately ;-D

  • HapaGirl84
